Best spearfishing Video I have ever seen

  • I also have some great video of paint drying to share [emoji1]


    I plan to come down to Antigua and put George & Diesel together to arm wrestle then to watch grass grow. :laughing::laughing3:


    Then I will conduct a two day course on what constitutes a healthy reef, all the different elements, both plant & animal, and the complexity of how all elements need to be in balance and harmony with each other and the respect we humans need to show by placement of anchors, keeping our paws off of it, ans a recap of global weather change :thumbsup2::cool2:



    If that doesn't work I can be George's second in a dual. :@ :D

  • Oscar, George and I are bosom buddies...we just play rough. Don't mind us at all. There is a lot George will teach me about Blue Water hunting, and there is alot I can teach George about Reef hunting :laughing3:.

  • George that was an Awesome video.


    My impression is that if I ever saw that many fish in such a few dives it would take the sport out of it. Some of those fish seemed to swim up onto the spear tip and impale themselves. I would get herd blindness.


    I am lucky if during say 5 hours of sustained fishing on my reef if I come across 3 fish that are worthy of a shot. Don't misunderstand me I don't mean I get to shoot at all three. The fish here are so skittish that when they see you it literally and figuratively scares the shit out of them.


    When I am out in my bunka boat the locals parade by aimlessly wandering from one ecological disaster to another. I am always told that the big fish are at the reef I am currently not fishing. They then ask if I have any spare rubber for their guns:laughing3:


    When I see schools of fish in such abundance my first though is oh ya baby then I give pause and wonder what is the next after I fill my bunka. I remember a Twightlight Zone episode where the guy won every game he played at the Casino. BORING:fishswim:


    What I am trying to say is that the sport for me is as much about waiting to capitalize on that one moment in time when all the stars and planets align When and if it should occur as well as making the perfect shot because if you screw it up the moving hand having writ moves on.


    Still my tune varies especially after 3 or 4 days with nothing to show for it but a vast wasteland of traveled sea bottom. Still that is what makes the perfect shot at the right time so sweet.


    Hell I guess I would like to shoot a shitload of fish a couple of hundred times

  • Nick, I always enjoy seeing videos with that incredible amount of life. It's a relief to see that we haven't destroyed all the life on this planet yet. In the same regard I don't enjoy the movies that are purely shooting fish. For me, the best videos are the ones that show the adventure, the natural beauty and the camaraderie. When it feels like I am there not just a highlight reel of kills.

    Ditto!
