Who Doesn't Hate Jewfish?

A little video from Palm Beach Today. 80 plus ft of visibility in 60 feet. The "thieving jewfish" sure know how to play a spearfisherman..


Shot with a Hero 3 Plus and red MAKO filter.

Smart jewfish.

Great video.

Yup - excellent video!

Wow! What happened to the line? & the shaft?

 

[dumpsterDiver]

Everything was salvaged except for the glove and the fish. The shaft was bent, but it may be able to be straightened and re-used and he broke the knob off his reel as well. Those giant fish are very cool, but they wreck a lot of gear.

I look at it as payback for all the years that people power headed them to near extinction.

Whats the issue?
He has learned that from time to time humans will assist in hunting quarry.
Would you be as upset if a grizzly bear that took your catch in a stream,
or just feel lucky to escape without physical harm?
Try to remember, you are the visitor there.

There's an issue?

I thought it was all half-bragging, half-griping . . . .

Who doesn't hate Jewfish?
I don't.
I think they're quite tasty, actually, and I can hardly wait for a season on 'em to open again.
