@capt.jasondiver Full video on YouTube. Dive Shop website for merch behind the scenes footage and more is live, link in bio. Just in case the world record Cubera wasn’t enough we doubled up on two more records immediately after. Watch my facial expression at the end as the 3rd rod gets bit too. Absolutely mind blowing chew.
