I'm wondering how do you guys recover fish that get tangled in the rocks or just get wedged in a hole at the limits of your diving ability?
I comfortably hunt to 60' I feel any thing deeper and my bottom time is to short to do much. It was just over 60' that I had a fish hole up so bad I had to cut my shooting line to get back my gear! I made many dives trying to pull him out of the hole spending a large amount of time at the surface recovering from the hard work. I started thinking (if only I had a tank!) I'm now wondering if any one uses those small bottles of spare air to recover gear/fish. I realize the dangers I just feel If I could have had a solid minute or two to work on it I would not have had to waste that fish:(
On another note it was a good reason for me to use two wraps of mono! I just retied the cut line to the gun with one wrap and was able to finish my day and my limit of fish with out leaving the water :thumbsup2:
