Thanks guys; yea Judah he had a schnoz on him for sure. Had a terrible shot on him. I followed him for so long that I was getting the "time to go up" signals from my body and he was staying just out of range and wouldn't go broadside so when he changed directions I caught him on the bias but the spear didn't even go through; the flopper thankfully kept it in him but it was just under his skin. I am not sure how he didn't pull off.
Yea Scott is definitely good to dive with. Now that I am close to the beach I am sure we will get out more often. Just need to get the yak rigged up with a anchor trolly and flag.
