these Mexican Dog Tooth Snappers or “Pargo” are the hardest fish in the world to land. first, you have to dive 60-80′, wait for it come out of his cave, take the shot, pull and wrestle it out from the cave, hold it tight while it’s fighting for its life, then swim up 80′ which takes a minute just for that. total dive time is over 2.5 minutes and when you come up, you’re light headed and start to see stars. yeah, on the brink of black out. just for a fish? yup, that’s what we love to do.
