Are you using a float line now?

I believe he's not using anything.

Going up from 60ft after stalking a fish will be slower with a fish on or the shaft stuck in the bottom, and the reel letting out line. I didn't want this to become a reel vs floatline debate either, just wanted to give a heads up. Someone who insists on using a reel should get information about the best reel. But I am glad to see there are others here who see it my way. BTW Steven if you dive on Pantoja's boat you must have a float line, float, and flag http://spearfishing.world/spea…g-us-on-the-santa-fe.html There's usually a spare on the boat.

Larry, it's much taller than it is wide. This format doesn't lend itself well to all applications.

Stay with a simple float line.

Good effort Larry, simple and to the point. Too tall though and I'm not crazy about the words running vertically. But overall much better use of space.

Congrats Chad.

Orca kills great white

Monster keeps a sharp flopper.

I don't like deep fried cuda, too dry. I like it filled thin then breaded and fried.

Is the stock going to stay this wide? Or is consequent rounding going to significantly reduce its mass? Excellent tutorial, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Can I get an approximate date and location for the fish records gallery?

Yeah yeah.. I know Alan wishes a grouper would let him get that close <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

In Tahiti we bite the pan sized fish in the head so they don't bring in the sharks on the way to the surface.

I've seen this on video and also killing octopus like that. I tried killing an octopus using this method, it felt weird and I didn't get it on the first try but it worked, the octopus changed color immediately. I'm sorry but I don't shoot pan sized fish

Play for only one day? For sure there will be some related emergency situations, people getting hypothermia from camping out all night to buy tickets and such

Thanks for the pic John, it is a good one. It is my sad duty however to inform you that stringent forum policy does not allow a member to represent more than one regional section, so I had to use a picture of fuzz that I stole from SB for the Cali section Fuzz, I hope you don't mind? OK, enough derailing..

Welcome to the brand spanking new Mississippi section, and thank you for inaugurating it with your report.

Cuda not edible? Ba-humbug. My freezer is full of cuda, I don't bother with the groupers and snappers, much better yield and easier to clean is the cuda. A 35 pounder is a big cuda no matter who or where you are. Too bad you stoned it, it gives a few good runs that are sure to get your rocks off. I'd guess whatever misgivings you had about the taste are due to the propaganda you've been exposed to. Once you get used to the idea of eating cuda I think you will relish it. On the other hand I have seen a difference in cuda meat quality from region to region. The last ones we got with Rolo out of Ft. Pierce were really superior. Plus shooting cuda will have the good effect of taking pressure off some other fish.

Can I please have a pic of a MS caught fish for the forum thumbnail?

What you guys have to realize is that when it's time to put the logo on a business card or a shirt it's not going to appear to the eye the same as when you put a clear drawing on a large computer screen. Certain design fundamentals should be followed, the above logo is too spread out. I didn't mean to eliminate "South Florida" from the logo with my design. I just quickly did what to me is better grouping of the different elements that you wanted to incorporate.

In your design Adrian the state lines are completely unnecessary, they will not show in any application of the logo. A solid color state outline would be better. But then it will completely overpower the diver and fish and make them disappear. Anyways you only want south Florida. I'd feel bad for you guys if you invest in getting the log done and then realizing it doesn't look like what you thought in actual application. Just my :twocents:

As if any of that makes a difference..

Fish have a heart?

Quote from monster slayer

The only thing that I´ve tried so far is to rip the gills and immovilize the fish with a strong grip to the eyes.

Same here. I don't like the eye grip, I prefer the gill grip until the fish is dispatched. Except on triggers..
