greekdiver,
Por favor, what did I do wrong or not do that make the pics not show?
Mucho gracias for completing the pic post for me.

Nice cubera hau. It's my most prized fish to land. Lets hear the story of it. If you have pics of the kayak lets see how you rigged it. I'm curious which yak you're using too.
Greekdiver gave you the right advice about the pic posting. If you want more detailed information see here http://spearfishing.world/2412-post3.html It's always better to shrink the pics to 740 horizontal resolution so as not to make sideways scrolling necessary when reading the posts.
Awesome catch Hau
seahunter49, seaweed, greekdiver,
Gracias.
I must be doing something wrong. I spend 15 min writing and try to send and have been logged off. When I go back to log on I loose everything I have typed. Lo ssento.

Doesn't sound right to me. The only time I lose posts is if the internet connection drops, I know that can be very discouraging. When I find that whatever I'm writing is getting so long that it may take too much effort to reproduce if lost it, I copy and paste it into a microsoft word or a notepad file to finish it off. Then copy and paste it in the forum and post.
OK, I'll try that. Thanks
1. I do not have an pictures of my yak yet but will have some soon as I get better posting pictures.
2. I will correct the picture size.
3. I started this thread here just as a test to see if I could figure out how to post my first pictures. Thanks to greekdiver and others the pictures can now be viewed. Gracias
4. My yak is a Hobie Adventure that I spent months modifying to a 1 man anytime/anywhere freedive/spearfishing yak. I even added 4 wheels to the yak cart so it goes through the soft beach sand. I have my yak set up so that I look like a tourist out for his morning yak ride off the beach. All my gear [flag, fins, wetsuit, cooler, everything] is stored down inside until I get out to my dive spot a half mile or so off shore. And when finished spearing I put everything back away down inside before I go back into the beach. The only one item that will not fit down below is my RA and I have a bag I made to put it into so it looks like a paddle strapped to the side of the yak. I have done this for over a year and no beach guard has ever approached me on any beach from South Beach to Ft. Lauderdale. I spray foamed inside the hull in all the unusable places so that the yak will not sink even when filled with sea water. I filled it with sea water and fully loaded as a test. I used Marine Goop to glue the FF transducer to the inside of the hull.
5. The fish story is I got off work and yaked out the hour to my spot, dropped the anchor perfectly into the sand at my ledge and slipped into the water and saw fish immediatly in the 40 foot vis. A school of big cuberas came in just seconds after I got the first band loaded and I squeezed the trigger on one of the biggest ones and he just rolled over down onto the reef. He was 24 1/4 inches. The 16 inch hog was swimming straight away when the shaft entered his tail and came out the top of his nose between his eyes. I love my RA 130. I got cold in the water with my 1.5mm but that is all I have left. Lo siento this is so long.

Great report, thanks.
seahunter49,
I found this video, wish it was me. I remember seeing jewfish like this in holes in the MG in 1975. We used a lot of PPD ammo back then. Ray Odor must have sold a lot more PPDs back then as every diver I knew used them. It was considered dangerous and foolhardy not to use a PPD on fish that big.
The 4th line is just what I was missing. Thank you.

You dive with a life jacket?
hau wanted to know what to call in Spanish a safety vest that he uses. Initially he called it chaleco, then chaleco de vida. I suggested that Spanish speakers will not understand what he's talking about and that the closest thing I could think of is chaleco salvavida. I know that it translates to life jacked but that's as close as I could get to safety vest in Spanish. None of the Cubans I know are familiar with the concept and I believe there's no correct name for it. Apparently the safety vest saved his life, you can read about it here http://spearfishing.world/3736-post1.html
Rolo,
This is the vest I use every day freediving that we tried to translate correctly.
They come in different colors. Mine is all black. It works great. I'll happily answer any questions about this type of vest.
Gracias

For those too lazy to click on the link.
