Extracting a cabrilla from a crevice at depth : Spearfishing Baja
Hilariously realistic AI depiction of the action in this video on this thumbnail!
00:00 start
00:33 shoot cabrilla
01:20 retrieving cabrilla
00:33 cabrilla stuck
03:40 morey eel
04:30 killshot
In this gripping chronicle of man versus nature, join me on a voyage into the depths of the Cortez Sea, where the primal dance between hunter and prey unfolds beneath the azure waves. Witness the raw intensity as I navigate the treacherous underwater terrain in pursuit of elusive bounty.
The opening sequence thrusts us into the heart of the action, as I grapple with the formidable challenge of extracting a cabrillas from its rocky crevice. With each heartbeat echoing in the depths, I must summon every ounce of skill and determination to avoid entanglement in the unforgiving embrace of the sea. The struggle is primal, elemental, as I confront the very forces of nature that seek to claim me.
But the true test of mettle arrives with the emergence of a morey eel, its sinuous form a harbinger of danger in the shifting currents. With nerves of steel, I stand firm against the relentless advance of this underwater predator, seizing the moment to strike with lethal precision. The killshot lands true, a testament to the unwavering resolve of man in the face of adversity.
And finally, in a climax of adrenaline-fueled triumph, obviously, I face down the barded pargo, a titan of the deep (no less), in a primal duel of predator and prey. With the fate of the hunt hanging in the balance, I unleash the full force of my skill and courage, emerging victorious from the depths with the spoils of my hard-won victory.
Join me on this unforgettable journey into the heart of the Cortez Sea, where the line between man and nature blurs and the ancient rhythms of the ocean pulse with life. This is spearfishing as you've never seen it before-a test of strength, skill, and spirit against the untamed forces of the deep.

I spend 6 months per year in Baja and fish the sea of Cortez with my kayak. I get there when it’s very good, November, but then I spend 4 months fishing the hard stuff in colder water at ridiculous depts to catch the occasional fish. Seriously, don’t go to Baja in January or February thinking you will shoot a lot of fish. I usually leave about now, at the end of April. I must go back to work se...

Welcome to my latest tbar speargun prototype test! Yes a tbar, the sort of metal post used to hold small signs is used as the shaft.

Speargun reel malfunction is never fun, at 24 meters it can be catastrophic. I may have to chose between my gun and my life. So, I encounter the first school of yellowtail of the season.
