Another Cubera!! 😱 These fish are so awesome. You never know what they are until they hit the surface. You’ll think a big Black, then maybe an amberjack, then a shark, then back to a big black and finally… BOOM Big Cubera! By far one of the coolest fish to catch down here in the Dry Tortugas. Now is the time of year when these things are around as they are starting to spawn. #fishing #giant #unexpected #rare #crazy #exciting #surprise #catch #wow

You just never know what you’re going catch out here in the dry Tortugas. This is an Alfonsino. Here’s a couple interesting facts- • They are surprisingly long lived, up to 69 years old. • They have a worldwide distribution in deep subtropical coral reefs in depths up to 3500 feet. • During the day they live in the deeper depths and migrate to shallow or depths at night time. • A full-size adult weighs up to 5 1/2 pounds and yes they are delicious. • What’s the weirdest fish you have ever caught and If you ate it how did it taste? #deepsea #Ocean #Explore #Fishing #wow #blueplanet #explorepage #crazy #jigging #slowpitch
