On Nov 16th I went out on a spear dive with friend of mine, who owns a 20ft Sea Craft boat, name “size matters” We were targeting black grouper for the lady world record and came across 3 horse eye jacks. After a talk to the captain he looked up the pending WR for hours eye jack and saw that we had a good opportunity to get the woman’s WR. We prepared the rope and buoy for a headhunter pole-spear. I used a few herons as bait to draw them closer and I took my shot on the biggest jack, and the rest is history.
