Witness an extraordinary fishing expedition where a colossal tuna required the strength of two people to lift it out of the water. This impressive catch revealed an unexpected surprise when its belly was cut open, uncovering a ruby snapper inside. The ruby snapper, known for its striking red hue, typically resides over 600 feet deep. This discovery indicates that the tuna had recently ventured into shallower waters, making it vulnerable to a well-aimed spear.

The adventure doesn't stop there. The tuna was initially spotted just a few inches below the surface. Despite its attempt to rejoin its school, the spearfishing technique ensured there was no catch and release. Interestingly, dog tooth tuna, which are rarely seen on the surface, were also encountered. Although these smaller fish were not the primary target, the opportunity to observe them was seized.

The narrative takes a thrilling turn as a school of tuna appears just when it's time to head home. With a quick reload of the spear gun, another tuna is caught. This time, its belly contained two surface-dwelling bait fish instead of a ruby snapper, showcasing the diverse marine life encountered during this adventurous outing.
