yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaa
got out for an afterwork swim and speared this fellah.i could only see his tail and i thought s$#t its a grouper for a minute.had to guess which way he turned and have a shot cause he was starting to depart....gave  it a texas heart shot,i didnt want to play it cause i didnt know how well id got it,so let it hole up and dived down and pushed the spear thru properly and it was mine. not bad for a wellington shore dive aye!  weighed in at 22 pounds,beats my pb by a fair bit.im fizzing still.Smile

Battered and fried, the snapper liver is possibly the fishiest thing you will ever eat. I can't eat a whole one, but about half of one gets me a little fired up.

Having said that - I have made an error in judgement ordering a liver meal before and my memory seems to be somewhat dodgy. I think Mullins or Crippy could tell this tale better than I Confused
