Mother of God that’s some fish. Catch of a lifetime especially considering you caught it totally in the wild and on your own without any help from anyone. Best way to do it! 👍👍
Wow what a monster catch from the surf. I love surf fishing with lures from the shore during my vacation as well. But haven’t caught anything anywhere near this. Absolutely catch of a lifetime. Congratulations!
My Fishing Cape Cod thanks! I’m actually going to Puerto Rico for a fishing trip and would love to hook one of these guys. Amazing video and good luck on your next trip. Looking forward for the next cubera video
Thanks Jerrod. I will never forget seeing a huge streak of red come barreling through the wave directly in front of me an instant before that cubera slammed the popper! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
Amazing fish and video work! That took a lot of dediction to keep moving the camera to get the shot while hauling that tank down the beach, but it really made the video complete!
Awesome!! Im going to Costa Rica shortly and bringing only a 7 ft travel rod and a 3000 reel. 15 lb test. Im not sure I could land that monster with my equipment. What are your thoughts> Should I bring heavier equipment
@@MyFishingCapeCod hey man. Staying in Golfito, Puntarenas in the Southern Zone. Near Montapalo, Osa Peninsula. It's about 30 miles North of Panama on Pacific side.
@@MyFishingCapeCod Hello Friends my name is Jose Acosta , i livin in santa cruz Guanacaste, my passion is the fishing like your , tell me the name of the beach you visit and catch this beautiful cube fish....congratulations 👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷
I’m heading down to Los Cabos for a month in 6 weeks... I’ll be targeting mostly snappers, grouper, and snook. All, very good eating! Hopefully I will catch a beast like yours... invite our Mexican friends and family over for fish tacos and cocktails 🏄🏼♂️🎣🤙
If I'm on a boat, then I ice the fish down. But when fishing on shore, I just place the fish in a cool shady spot, or I just call it quits early and walk home with the fish, which is what I did with this cubera.
really good guy and lovely family we tried hard from shore battered by thew waves without much success but we all went out on a boat and noah showed us how its done catching a decent corbina we caught well off boats later in the holiday across the way....inc rooster! but nothing like what you've achieved, awesome results
We didn't make it down there last winter, but we've gone down about 5 out of the last 7 years, between December-February. I have more Costa Rica info posted here (myfishingcapecod.com/costa-rica/) in case you'd like to check it out. 😎
Great video man .l will be in guanacaste Costa rica in April for surf fishing what kind lures you recommend me to take there .l will be very happy if you can help me with this.have a great day.
Sounds like a fun trip you have planned! I would definitely recommend poppers like the Halco Roosta, as well as pink epoxy jigs. Here are some links: www.themightyfish.com/products/halco www.themightyfish.com/products/tmf-epoxy-jig-2-5?variant=13982395007089 👍
Such a monster you caught right there, love the popper, I am going to look for one and add it to my arsenal. It is already summer here, you should try visit CR by this time.
Cool! Will be aware of what beaches will you visit to keep in touch! Have you heard about Jalova? Such a santuary, you can catch anything there, even huge Tarpon!
Information about where exactly this video was shot? Where you suggest staying for lodging/resorts? Etc? Looking to take a trip like this with my brother and father. Surf fishing big snapper is right up my ally!
Hey Jake 👋I was using 30lb moss green Power Pro Braid (www.themightyfish.com/products/powerpro-braided-fishing-line?variant=8746374266987) and a 30lb Seagur Fluorocarbon leader (www.themightyfish.com/products/seaguar-blue-label-flourocarbon?variant=41687310981) 🐟
Great catch man and excellent Video.l m planing to go Costa Rica in April .if you don’t mind can you tell me what part off the costa rica did you stayed in.again awesome video.
Nice! I bet you'll have a great time fishing down there. I don't mean to be a douche (lol) but I'm not posting the exact location online for the world to see, at least not yet. I might live their part-time and I don't want to attract hundreds of anglers. However, I do have the location posted on my website myfishingcapecod.com.

nice. i'm guessing zancudo....i spend time down in pavones. a lot more big rock formations all along the beach in pavones, so there should be some fish there. on my next weekend down there, i'm gonna try surf casting. when is your next trip down here?
wow nice catch!!! im thinking of celebrating my 30th bday its costa rica for first time any advise on where to book?? il deff be bringing the van staal!!!
Awesome video! I messaged you on your website hoping to get some information on equipment rentals or if it is better to bring my own rod and reel to Puerto Carillo Costa Rica?
I think I got back to you via the website, but I would recommend bringing your own gear, unless you are sure there is a bait and tackle shop nearby where you are going. 👍
@@MyFishingCapeCod Hey Man, Any recommendations on must have lures, poundage of fishing line, do you use steel leaders? I am from MN so I am used to using leaders for toothy critters?
I think catch and release is great and I do release most fish. Happy to say this one fed 10 people over the course of two days. It was a memorable dinner! ✌🏻
Was thinking the same... Beautiful fish that shoulda gone back...but then I guess compared to the ocean dragging monster liners, this is really the least of our problemw
What part of Costa Rica did you catch it ? I am heading to Tamarindo Costa rica April 1. any Idea what they catch from shore that time of year? Thanks Al
Hey Al, unfortunately I'm not familiar with the Tamaraindo area. I was in the Golfo Dulce. The fishing is generally pretty good year around in the Dulce.
For a reel I am using a VR150 (www.themightyfish.com/products/van-staal-vr-bailed-spinning-reel?variant=30931202821) and the rod is a 7' 3-piece Offshore Angler Ocean Master Series travel rod: Medium Heavy 12-20lb, 5/8-2-1/4oz

Thanks Josh! It was a memorable day for sure. And yes that one fish fed at least a dozen of us. It was a great meal.

Thanks Jason! I got luck with this one. A fish I will never forget! Hopefully I'll get another chance when I return to Costa Rica this January. 🙏🏻
Nice catch bro
Hey! My dad and I are looking to come to CR for a fishing trip. Any stay & fishing charters recommendations? Thanks lots!!!
I've never stayed at a lodge, but Crocodile Bay would be worth considering. I am sure there are many others too. I hope you guys have a good trip!
Wow... what a delicious meal..
It was great. Fed a dozen people!
Wow what a fish!
Yes! It was one of the best fishing surprises of my life!
Great vids 👍. What size rod is that btw
In the description👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
beautiful reel. what is the name of the reel?
That's a Van Staal VR150
I'm going to catch some those ones soon.
Gluck Kenton!

Good luck Steven! I hope you get into some nice fish. These cuberra snappers are great eating. This fish fed about a dozen of us. Have fun!
That's what living is !!!
What do you do to keep your fish fresh while you continue fishing and then when taking them home?
If I'm on a boat, then I ice the fish down. But when fishing on shore, I just place the fish in a cool shady spot, or I just call it quits early and walk home with the fish, which is what I did with this cubera.
Super catch and lovely video ..enjoyed watching (Y)
Thanks for checking it out Vinod!
Nice job. What type of rod were you using?
On that fish I was using an Offshore Angler Ocean Master Travel Rod Medium Heavy 12-20lb, 5/8-2-1/4oz
great stuff...that looks like you're fishing near noahs place? ...we were there in november
No kidding Rob! I was actually just talking with Noah yesterday on the phone, crazy!
really good guy and lovely family we tried hard from shore battered by thew waves without much success but we all went out on a boat and noah showed us how its done catching a decent corbina we caught well off boats later in the holiday across the way....inc rooster! but nothing like what you've achieved, awesome results
how happy were you with this traveling rod ? Thank you in advance. Subscribed!
Extremely happy. It's a great rod. Thanks for subscribing!
Do you go every year? If so, what time of the year do you usually go?

How do you clean your reel after bathing with it?
The Van Staal reel I used in this video has a sealed drag, so saltwater and sand does not affect the reel at all.
Just Awesome dude!
That was a wild morning for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Fight better than your rooster fish? Looked like one hell of a fight though. Good job bro. Costa Rica looks like an awesome spot for surfcasters.
Where is the best place to stay if you want to surf fish cubera and do some charters...do any villas offer this
I'm really not sure Zyn. This cubera was a rogue fish and is the only one I've ever caught from shore. I'm told they are typically caught from boats.
Such a monster you caught right there, love the popper, I am going to look for one and add it to my arsenal. It is already summer here, you should try visit CR by this time.
Very nice, it's a good popper for sure! I may actually bring a group of US anglers to Costa Rica with me next January/February.
Cool! Will be aware of what beaches will you visit to keep in touch! Have you heard about Jalova? Such a santuary, you can catch anything there, even huge Tarpon!
Great to hear about Jalova. I have never been to the Caribbean coast. Might be worth a visit!
For sure, give it a shot!
You never forget that snapper surface strike. It's bone jarring, and your line sings. Lol
Absolutely! That was my first and only snapper, but I'm heading back to Costa Rica in January and I would love to catch another.
So when she picked her jaw up, how did you prepare the snapper? Great catch!
LOL, we cooked it like a chicken (roasted in the oven) with a lot of butter, minced garlic, salt and pepper
What type of line do you need to catch something that big
For this fish I was using 30 pound Power Pro braid, with a 30 pound Seagur Fluorocarbon leader. 🎣
