It's been 9 days since the last day of fishing in which I could see the big grouper. That days I've been dreaming again as it could be possible to capture.
I would like to do things right, and material under optimal conditions can be guaranteed of success. I chose finally to 110 cm carbon speargun, basically versatility between power and precision that incorporates shandows latex yellow 19 mm picasso.
It’s 5: 50 am and I am to immerse me in a place of the Costa Brava in Catalonia (Spain)
A soft wind predicts a windy day, but I don't care, I'm already and water is very transparent
August is a month of very frequented by boats so is better wake up early. The sea water temperature is very comfortable about 23ªC.
My wetsuit espetón 5 mm offers me elasticity that I need to do first apneas feel pressure in the chest. After an hour I go down following the reef trying to hide my Silhouette, at the end of the descend I saw the big grouper lies halfway of its stone just above the thermo cline - 27 m, swimming indolent and sure of himself.
It has not seen me for the moment but unfortunately I hit de stone with my arm ant the grouper warns my presence. Both look us measuring the distance and each movement, so doubt to do. Stops for a moment the time and appear in scene a group of Dentex and bream soldiers around the grouper, the image is amazing and worthy of underwater filming. I try not to lose the nerves firing any Dentex.
Pass the seconds and I decide to try a long shot, the time is stopped for a moment and I could see haw the big fish change the color of skin becoming white.
The dream has become reality, upload smiling and happy, my fins GFT me push with ease to the surface. I took a breath of air and reel dynema recovery, everything is clean and efficient, and tonight we have dinner a big grouper with the family and friends.
