Antelope?

Awesome way to kick off the freshwater section! Did the fellow filleting the fish know the bear was there? If I knew the bear was there I wouldn't look away from it. I've wondered for a long time what it's like to spear pike, that's the freshwater barracuda How do they react when speared?

The toggle effect is precisely the reason to have the line attached to the back of the shaft. If the fish and shaft go into a hole it's less likely that the shaft will get stuck inside, if the shaft is being pulled out directly by the back end. Nothing wrong with having two holes to choose from though <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> If this was a stainless steel shaft I'd say just get the Pursuit shaft drilling jig http://freedivingspearfishingg…r-shaft-drilling-jig.html and put another hole wherever you want it.

John, do you like the 7.5?

Depends where you're shooting, if it's around wrecks I'd say 400lb is necessary. I've seen it shredded to half its diameter and still hold. If that was 200lb (half) for sure the fish would've tore the line. I can't say I've done a comparative study of accuracy and penetration between 300lb or 200lb mono and 400lb, I just never felt a disadvantage with the 400. But you are right in that going down in mono diameter when hunting open water and reef will not make a difference in holding power for almost all fish you'll encounter. I just have a hard time believing that over 15ft distance there will be any difference in velocity and penetration. That said in the case where the thick mono will not allow the shaft to go in the mech, switching to a lighter mono outweighs other considerations.

No

Must be extremely difficult to get fish where that guy dives

Success! Welcome to the forum mark. That stringer looks like it's from right here.

The powerheads contain a 7.62 AK-47 round, not .357 http://freedivingspearfishingg…12-slip-on-powerhead.html

I'd like to get my hands on this stuff http://www.candsplastics.com/Default.asp

Nice pics Roberto, beautiful king. The last pic is that the beginning or the end of the day?

7.5mm is too heavy for me too, I don't see the need. But some guys want them so eventually I'll get those too.

Where can I find black ABS 1/2"? Can it be heated and shaped as well as PVC?

I don't understand, PVC primer is for gluing?

What would be the best way to paint white PVC pipe black? Dye? I need something that will not flake off or scratch easily. I'm thinking to sand with fine sandpaper to break the surface first.

Accounts say he was shot in the head, it may not have been a recognizable picture.

In the pics or for real Yeah you know I'd like that. All in due time.

What happened??

My apologies Jim.

I see the picture is up to SB specs, sad to see how the grogan has you guys by the short and curlys. Nice fish and congratz on the new gun Jim. Cool name for the gun BTW, might as well paint some white under the muzzle, may even attract some fish.
