A Good Day...so far.
This afternoon, while diligently working at improving my poker game at Ana's, a pickup pulls up and two guys unload a nice big white sea bass from the
box...and proceed to hang it up for Russ to weigh...and me to take some photos.
Here's the big brute...weighing in at 68lbs. Speared by 'Ron', a recent homeowner to Posada Conception. He told me it was at 65 foot off the main
island of the Sta. Inez group.
I know that area well, as Two Dogs and I have lost a 'bunch' of mirrolures to some big old bruiser down there!
I am told John is an expert diver and spearfisherman, who can hold his breath free-diving for 4 minutes...dang, now THAT'S a long time!
Bravo, John....good dive, good bag, good times! Hope you enjoy your fish barbeque tonight. That whopper might just feed all of Posada!
I'm gassing up the boat for manana!!!
p.s. Some of the poker mob assembles for a portrait. I was not in the winners circle...again.

Roger,
you really know how to make a guy feel homesick. I always smile when I see those faces.

What a fine fish! Thanks for the pictures. Bacon of the Sea? That title belongs to the mullet. The name "Biloxi Bacon" goes back about 150 yrs.

That is a fine fish for sure but I like this pic a bit more,this little lady can show us all a thing or two about WSB fishing.
Pompano - 3-16-2012 at 10:14 AM
baitcast, you have raised a good point about FISHING PHOTOS.
Which photo would most fisherman want to look at, do you suppose?

Very nice fish....congrats!

GREAT WSB
Only about 10 pounds under the current spearfishing world record--so a very presentable fish.
Ron who? Where from?

roundtuit - 3-16-2012 at 06:28 PM
I have talked to Ron as he is my neighbor and have his permission to post this. The fish is bigger than 68# ,but he don't what to revile the actual
weight. If you want to know ask Russ at Lupitas Restaurant at Santispac. If you want to know about Ron, Check Google for Ron Mullins spear fishing and
be ready for a surprise 
dean miller - 3-17-2012 at 12:55 AM
That is Ron Mullins? older - mature -wearing glasses?
I knew his father who was active in SoCa diving 40 years ago..
I think I first met Ron at one of the Fathers of spearfishing meets 20 plus years ago, maybe at the "2000 Fathers of Freediving and Spearfishing" =
the last gathering of the orginial tribe - sadly only a handful of the 75 or so who were honored remain alive-but all three of us who were honored
from Orange county are still walking upright and breathing air.
On Ocasion I assisted him in Ideing and hopefully aquiring certain antique diving equipmment for his Museum of Spearfishing in Huntington beach.
Apparently now Ron has matured as is slowly sliding into the mature ranks of divers.
You are fortuneate to have Ron as a Baja friend and neighbor--He is a tribute to the world of spearfishing
