The LARGEST Snappers in the World

In this episode of BlacktipH, we travel to Panama to go fishing for monster Cubera Snappers at one of the world's greatest fishing destinations, Tropic Star Lodge. Cubera snappers are the largest species of snappers in the world! We started the day off fishing for bonito to use as bait. The bonito were placed in tuna tubes to keep them alive. Once we caught six bonito, we started trolling for Cubera Snappers using the bonito as bait. It didn't take to catch my first-ever Cubera Snapper. What an incredible fish! Cubera's have some of the most gnarly teeth of any saltwater species of fish. In total, we caught three Cubera Snappers and two Almaco Jacks, with the largest Cubera weighing over 40lbs! What an incredible experience this was!

[@Inerdgm]

You all have inspired my children to go fishing. I bought a couple simple rods for myself and my daughter and will be buying the license by this weekend but at the moment just to catch and release as that's the rules for the river by my house but it will still be an experience and I cant wait

[@garbo9251]

good luck! if you want to have better chances at catching something I'd say research what fish live in that area and what kind of bait/lures they like

[@Inerdgm]

@@garbo9251 yes so its salmon I have bought the lures for them so fingers crossed it will be exciting I cant wait to see her joy

[@2AM_huddylol]

@@Inerdgm you want 15 pound tes line and salmon eggs tied into a spawn sack *and salmon are actually never catch and release and there technically invasive to my STATE but idk about you*

Kudos to that captain, One of the smartest fisheries I've ever seen! You can tell he's very passionate about sustaining the cubera population! They throw back those slow growing cuberas to grow even bigger and reproduce! That's why there's plenty of people that have fished their whole lives and still haven't caught one before like josh until he made this trip! I've personally fished my whole life (25 years) and have only caught one cubera ever! I think in the U.S we should do the same approach on these slow growing species so they will be here for generations to come

[@dylansultzbach2618]

FINALLY! You went after Cubera Snappers! This fish has been one that has eluded me for years! I've fished for them all over the Caribbean without ever getting one! I'm still fishing for them, but it's been hard! This is one fish that seems to appear when least expected!

[@jimma1137]

Most people : will never see a shark EVER Josh: catches shark like every day

[@donstaffin4065]

Ya man I'm at the part when your talking about the age of cubarras and the importance of releasingthem due to them being slow growers. I love it and your saying that. I'm a fishing magician or like to think I am but with most everybody out there for just an ego or pay on the back rush I've begun to lose interest in all things fishing. Today you've brought some comfort in the spo. Thanks man jrt

[@cheemaoutdoors]

Love the videos! Keep up the awesome work guys! Always waiting for a new video.
