12/5 Jack Kearns Tourny

  • Jim,Speedy,Leo,Luis and myself got together for the tournament. Conditions were just awful. Strong 20knt winds blew 4ft chop with a strong current. Viz was a very hazy 15ft. Fish were very scarce, at the weigh-ins we didn't feel so bad as alot didn't weigh anything or just one fish. Top dogs Harolf, Tito and few others didn't fail to impress.








  • Hey!!!


    That's me in 2nd pic with the black wetsuit... In the Devilish boat.



    Today was very bad. We had better viz at our location 55'deep with 45' viz fish here and there.

  • what did u bunch of cocks spear???


    Nothing worth mentioning....hogs,dogs,cerros....I think Harolf might have won with 42lbs:@ of fish,we had like 6lbs:thumbup:


    We tried everything, from 7-75ft. Viz was better deeper,but keeping track of four divers with the big swells and current was very challenging.

  • SEAS WERE ROUGH AND VIZ WAS POOR, DESPITE THE ELEMENTS, I HAD A GREAT TIME AND THE TOURNAMENT HAD A GREAT TURNOUT. THE EVENT CULMINATED WITH A PARTY AND THE TROPHIES FOR THE WINNERS.


    RUM BUM HAD THE FULL COVERAGE AND MY TEAM (NAUTILUS SPEARFISHING) AS WELL AS MOST OF THE OTHER 24 WERE FILMED

  • Way to represent Frank and Larry. Who's the owner of that monster boat Devilish?


    Friends boat, it's super nice.


    He bought it with the sticker already on.





    As for fish the team did ok 21# all together.



    Crazy day to be out there. And then back at the dock a storm rolled in and brought the cold. It would be nice if the plan next years sometime in the year when the weather would be better.

  • Who is Jack Kearns?

  • I dont know, but to me personally these tournaments seem like more of a social event, and a good opportunity for spearfishing equipment stores and manufacturers to promote themselves. There is nothing wrong with this.


    But i can give 5 shits about what some other guy speared and how deep he was diving.


    I guess diving in general and tournaments mean something different to everyone. to each their own

  • who fished that day alan?? was the banana master the spearo of the day or was he just testing bananas? this is sooo fucking funny , man.

  • no dont I know who was spearing??? i would think Jack kearns wasn't as he is older and has complicated hip problems. very nice guy to talk to in person

  • I agree with you Alan.


    Also I would add its fun to be competitive and enjoy spearfishing in a different way.
    also all the raffles that go on give people a chance to when stuff and build connections.


    But there are a lot of dumb asses that show up to these things.
    which makes things even funnier. . .

    The party afterwards was pretty cool. I met a lot really cool guys, met some guys you only hear/read about.


    Nobody was really promoting anything..... the live band,free beer,ribs,chicken and congri, kept everybody distracted:thumbup:
