It is a good video, but who really wants to blast a bunch of cudas and AJs? They're easy picking and poor table fare. I'd rather come home with just the cobias, than to have my cooler smell like cuda for the rest of it's life. That big grouper would've been nice.

Looks like a challenge for sure. I would leave the jack alone. The Red Snapper and Grouper, OH YEAH.. ON FIRE.

AWTHACKER, I like the way you think. Your a quicker typist. My finger gets tired.

I never really got into spearing them. I enjoy diving, but just couldn't get into shooting them. i prefer hook and line myself. Although I haven't dove in years as my tanks are out of hydro and I no longer have a dive partner.

Nice fish and video!!!! That other video of the AJ gettin shot after the grouper dipped out was an aggresion/retaliation shot!!!! Ive had a few of those......

I for one love AJ, but agree on the snaps and grouper too. I just thought it was a cool video and love all the fish congregation around our rigs in the Gulf. Some people hate the rigs but I love em.

It's interesting that AJ is beloved in the gulf. East Coasters definitely turn their nose up to them - so I haven't given it a fair shake. But when I was in Destin, AJ was on every menu.

We caught a 30" AJ last Sunday and Dave kept it for the smoker. Then on the filet table it had worms in the tail - and this was just a small one. I passed on the AJ and just kept grouper, flounder and sheep.

I think East Coast AJs have worms, while Gulf AJs don't.

The footage is cool, I agree. I would love to dive the rigs someday. So much marine life. I wish we had them off the East Coast - for several reasons.
