Nice vid tinu. You dive 5 days back to back, wow! How much time do you spend in the water on an average day?

What are the prices those vendors get for the fish?

Very nice harry and a good story. Interesting head shot. The penetration looks good to me for as far as he was.

One thing a short gun needs to be is robust. A wood gun is going to be more robust than any pipe gun. Riffe's a good choice.

Whatcha' gonna do with such a small gun?

It's hard to say definitively, but what else could it be?

Nice, thanks. Gotta get me a drill press.

Tinu, did you change your hair style or something, you look different?

That's a huge white margate if that's what it is. World record is 15lb 12oz. You probably had a spearfishing world record there.

From his profile it looks like he last logged on a couple of days ago.

Here's one about a near death, how close to death only he knows, experience our aptly named friend muerte repentina had a couple of years ago. This hasn't been posted before because of the misunderstanding regarding permit spearfishing laws. But now that everyone knows permit is legal to spear in federal waters it's all good.

We were diving out of Homestead with Frank's boat, it was Frank, Speedy, Oscar, myself, and maybe someone else. Towards the end of the day Frank and I were the only ones on the anchored boat taking a break and chatting, with muerte repentina diving about 40 yards away from the boat. All of a sudden a faint cry resonated over the waves "heeelp, I'm entangled". We weren't sure of what we heard so we pricked up our ears and there it was again "heeelp, I'm entangled" but this time we pinpointed it as coming from muerte repentina who was on the surface. But there wasn't an urgency in the cry such as in "aaaaaaaaaaghhh help" so Frank and I looked at each other like and should we bother getting in the water. But Frank like a good trooper grabbed a mask and fins and jumped in the water and swam over to muerte repentina.

Here's what happened. Muerte repentina shot a permit. On its escape run the fish went round and round muerte repentina wrapping the shooting line around him with every circle. The line was fully wrapped two times around his neck, once around his torso, and once around his leg. By the time Frank got to him the fish was spent and muerte repentina was too entangled to take care of it in the water, so they just swam together to the boat. That faint cry will forever resonate in my mind <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> Fortunately the camera was there to capture the event.

marine_jor, is your caps lock key stuck?

The more you do it the quicker it will be. So easy even a caveman can do it

What's the principal use for your rubber chicken pops?

You brave soul

Rig your gun with three 14mm bands instead of two 16mm, if your muzzle and notches allow it.

Way to represent Frank and Larry. Who's the owner of that monster boat Devilish?

Get well soon. I remember reading that the method of repairing this hernia, with a patch from the inside, makes the area even less susceptible to a hernia than a normal healthy person.

oooohh that is so slick! Are you going to fill the carbon tube with something?

Never mind, I read you plan to keep part of it hollow.

This may be true for nurse sharks since their teeth are not nearly as efficient at cutting as other sharks. I've had a fish gutted by a nurse shark too.

It's interesting how they already had those concerns back then. I believe John once posted a nice thread on taking good fish pics. Come on John, repost it here
