Marco asked me to post pics of my buddy Doc's gun. Here's one of them he used yesterday. Sorry, no fish pics. We had really lousy weather (except for the first half hour when I took these pictures), rough seas and strong current in the cuts. I only got one grouper and a nice cero. Doc got his usual array of various good eating fish. Trunk, trigger, a nice hog....
Doc's a dentist and works with his hands a lot so making a gun is a lot of fun for him. He's been doing if for about 40 years and the only thing he had to buy was the trigger mech, shafts and tips.
Checking his bent shaft from the amber jack last week. He straightened it and used it all day.
Check out the shaft guide at the tip of the gun. He bent the piece of steel and screwed it down.
The trigger mech is attached to the wood with one inch PVC pipe.
