[NoConscience4u]

Nice work holding ur breath



[neeneeyo]

mmm dinner! ;)

[KingFishGuy]

this just pisses me off

[BeanDip0913]

@KingFishGuy why?

[KingFishGuy]

@BeanDip0913 because that is such a majestic fish, let that shit live its already 20 years old, the meats no good anyway and if it was a female, it would produce about 10x more eggs than a young female...

all fun and games down there til a big ass shark comes down n cleans house!!1

[nukinfuts1000]

Probobly cant go spear fishing anymore because of the oil spill. :(

[lawmanbaseball]

that is a giant mangrove. i have always wanted to go spearfishing it seems fricken amazing

[lanham100p]

Dude has cajones and skill.. Should teach that qatar loser how to spear.. good job

[09jetro]

need to wear a crash helmet on a day like that

[johndeeremudder]

i think i peed i little i wanna go there

[TibbShire]

That is Beast, Plain Beast!

[dwichagitime]

I would be scared to run out of oxygen free diving like that;if you go down too deep chasing a fish and exert yourself a little too much you could be in trouble trying to get to the surface without blacking out...you guys obviously know what you are doing, but I would be too preoccupied with tht to be produtive down there.

[csjyvabdk]

this is very cool, i gotta say though it is pretty cheap that he gets to spear fish off of a remote oil rig.

[TheRealSafariTom]

Geez.. I thought my 5 pounders were big

[iambabb]

how do you tie your boat down?

[thetarheel4life]

are you stupid. Why are you even watching spearfishing videos. Ever heard of a fucking anchor?????

[taiwarriorz21]

I'd like to see you try to anchor in 600ft-1500ft deep water. LoL

Wow you were trying to make "iambabb" look stupid but instead made yourself look like a idiot. Haaha you're awesome!

Ever heard of using a freaking rig pole! Haaa you dont know jack about rig diving. lol

[cameronkirkconnell]

This day the seas were so rough we tied off 15 feet below the surface to keep from breaking loose on the rig. It was nasty. It is deceptive but it is pretty damn rough. If you watch the rig legs you can see the difference in the water level as the swells/waves pass

[snakenbaken]

I hope you were kind enough to release him, after fileting of course.

[dustyflair]

man you guys are nuts!!!!

[OLDFART533]

Nice grey - my kind of shooting :)  at the rigs in good green water......my favorite food though is the Florida pompano. Seems we are getting more and more in our Texas rigs.

[Miamitugman]

Nice Mangrove! We used to catch them that big regularly here in the east central Florida area. Seems all the reds have pushed them out though...

[SkaterJoshuaandbball]

How far down were you?

[Charlie1821]

I love the HQ sound

[SaintsRule84]

My dad works on those oil platforms.

[brettles909]

errr great...

[SaintsRule84]

....

[honkifurh0rny]

you must be very proud of him.

[SaintsRule84]

Lol your an asshole

[0GT70]

Hay,cool one

I work in a place like that its called platforms

[dstick1]

Gee's nice effort, seemed to be underwater for ever getting that back up! Well done great fish!

[jjamiie]

didnt have much fight in him  maybe som1 took a trip to the fish monger beforehand

[TehPurgatory]

are you sure that wasn't a cubera and was that an oil rig? Dude theres some beast palagics and grouper around them.

[cameronkirkconnell]

Positive. Our close friends have shot the last 3 IUSA world Records for Mangrove Snappers. The Cuberas look very similar so it would be easy to make a mistake and is kind of hard to tell in this video. Cuberas aren't nearly as prevalent either especially in that area.

[Brokenwindoww]

@cameronkirkconnell is that 5-8 meters?

[chasintale2]

@TehPurgatory That definetly was a mangrove snapper u can tell by the snout how it isnt stubby like a cuberas and probably the give away it doesnt have half inch fangs

[rubbernubb]

yall got some ballz to be free diving thats one hall of a mangrove

[Youngfisher11]

mother of God, that thing is massive

[dirtydodger]

you earned that fish, that is some scary shit.

[cameronkirkconnell]

about 145 miles nw of Tampa bay. great spot not too many people hit it so we were first on it.

This is how a lot of spots are off that coast. virgin to free divers

[kukac4]

Cam, still calculated???? :-)

Kati ;-)

[sowandpigs]

Good dive, Good Fish, Top spot !!!!!!!!

[turtle434]

Pretty nice video. I was just wandering though, about how far out were you guys and what was the depth?
