Cubera snapper are the reason you check your drag twice before the first drop.
Captain Papayo put a client on this one off San Jose del Cabo. These fish live in structure, they know exactly where the rocks are, and they head straight for them the second they feel steel. No long runs, no jumps, just raw pulling power and about ten seconds to turn their head before it is over.
Inshore fishing here does not get the attention the marlin does, but pound for pound this is the hardest fight in Los Cabos.
