I don't understand what all the fuss is about, sharks, ladder loader, loading assist bar, all pretty normal stuff.. shameless marketing stunt, the potential to hurt our sport

Whether because of video quality, camera angle, or distance from the subject, I could not get any idea of how close or far the shots were. The one time that I was pretty sure it was going to be a long shot on a grouper the camera faded out before the shot. If the goal was to demonstrate the gun's accuracy at a specific distance, there are better ways to do it, such as as using marked distances in a pool and a target. Surely a company with such resources can arrange a little pool session.

I found the heavily decaled fins coming into the frame every so often extremely annoying. Reminded me of the stickers skateboarders put on their boards.

As far as a vid just showing a couple of guys having some fun spearfishing, I thought it was alright.

Oh is this your famous vid 02? I want to see it. You may have trouble finding a place that will host it due to the subject matter. I can upload it here if you don't find another way.

Quote from monster slayer

How irresponsible could be to put a spear on a fish in shark infested waters, and put that on a vid? Maybe is a common practice with some spearos, but it strikes me wrong about the message he´s sending in. Some newcomers to the sport or other people could get that wrong. The subject is controversial tho, cause some people could argue that this vid probes that sharks are not a man´s killing machine", which is a cliché. But I see it as irresponsible nevertheless..

I don't see any point to the tube style float line. There's a thread about it here with input from guys who favor it that you could read, I think I started the thread.

Hard to say from the pic but if it's polypropylene then it should float. Please take some close up pics when you get it.

Here's a pic posting tutorial, fairly straight forward http://spearfishing.world/foru…ure-posting-tutorial.html

I like the hosting method better because it allows me to position the pics where I want in the post as opposed to only at the bottom. It also saves server space.

Impressive catch. What is the limit on WSB? Are there different limits for different times in the season? I was under the (mistaken?) impression that it was one WSB per person.

That was a good read Mike. Congratz on the PB.

We have a fish injuries thread here http://spearfishing.world/gene…n/1357-fish-injuries.html

John, I think G.R. is also using a Speardiver belt in that pic.

Frank, isn't that what I've been doing? If you check out the store you'll see that for all the products I've used pics of friends. Can I get you in there with something? Perhaps the new Speardiver speedos?

Asesino, please describe how it happened, your considerations before taking the shot etc.

33" foam filled lifeguard rescue can float, 4lb density foam and 2lb of lead ballast. Flag attachment and flag pole (flag not included). I described making it in this thread http://spearfishing.world/floa…ard-rescue-can-float.html Float has seen very little use, it's in good clean condition. I was saving this float for bluewater hunting but who knows when I'll get around to that, I don't have much drive for it. For $60 you get a complete float for the price of only the rescue can, and without the mess of pouring foam.

EDIT - SOLD

7.5mm 170cm 2 notches. New. $30

7mm 150cm 2 notches. Used, straight in good condition. $25

EDIT - SOLD

G.R. Thanks for the awesome pic. Congratz on the fish.

Carmelo from PR shot this young tiger in June 2010.

Marco, if you want to add the story..

Good for you Mike.

Looks good so far. How do the alum barrels work for band anchoring points?

Davie, our beaches get groomed daily, it's strange that you never noticed it. Tourism is very important to the economy here, and tourists come for the beaches. Also our beaches are so narrow that it's easy to clean them in an efficient manner, there are trucks that do this.

BTW my phone battery died.

They don't go deeper because there's no productive bottom? Or because of limited freediving skills? Does a deep diving spearfisher stand a good chance at taking better fish in Belize then?

If they could get mid water fish maybe they'd give the little reef fish a chance to recuperate. Maybe you want to show them how to rig a shooting line on their slings.

It's all in the editing. The camera just gives you the raw material to work with. In the case of the Canon SD1000 it's plenty good to give you an image to work with. There's no way around learning to use a digital image editing program if you want great pics.

Marco, it was Bill Crawford.
