Very nice video. Good choice of music.

Very interesting. Would also make a great addition to the http://spearfishing.world/gene…n/1357-fish-injuries.html thread.

Linky no worky.

It was Oscar.

That makes it feel even more unfortunate. In general there's always a random element that can affect the outcome. In this situation there was a higher probability I guess. In open water a fish can panic and choose a direction to escape colliding with a second diver. As a rule they run directly away or parallel to the pressure of the line and the diver is safe. I've shot big cuda around pilings before, a frontal collision with a cuda can be serious too. I have to admit it never occurred to me I could get hurt this way.

It's important to know the dangers of taking a shot at a bill fish. Most of the time being in predatory mind set, I think we forget the hunted can sometimes turn on the hunter, and become complacent. There's no room for complacency in spearfishing for many reasons. Thanks for posting this Ramon.

Very rare footage of a striped marlin spearing fish with his bill, by Terry Maas. Go to 4:15 for the spearing action. The marlin move so fast if it wasn't caught on film I don't think anyone would know they're capable of this.

I'd try a rattler independently before mounting it on a gun If it works, neat placement Seal

The new design Rob Allen 12L hard spearfishing float replaces the old round shaped one, it's available in 3 versions:

• Air filled/empty
• Foam filled
• Foam filled overblown

This is the overblown version. Overblown means more foam was added to the float than the standard 12L foam filled float, resulting in the outer shell expanding more and the float acquiring a rounded profile. In comparison to the flat profile of the standard 12L foam blown float, this rounded profile improves the float's ability to right itself if tipped over when used with a flag kit and ballast. The overblown 12L hard float comes with a weight/ballast included, front and rear removable Nylon straps with tuna clips. It incorporates a threaded attachment point for the US diver down flag + mast kit which is available separately. The float is 28" long and 8" wide at its widest point. Together with the ballast it weighs 5lb.

Because the overblown version costs only a little more than the standard foam blown, comes with a ballast included, and has better properties assuming the diver at some point may want to add a flag, only the overblown version is offered at www.spearfishing.store. The standard 12L foam blown version simply doesn't handle the flag kit as well.

Welcome to Speardiver.

Great initiative, I love recycling.

Yay you made it

Holy crap that's a big one! Congratz Moshe. Weight?

How are you doing Gregg?

I think comfort and results are better with a mask or gun mounted camera. But it's good to have a solid review/comparison so thank you Gordo.

I don't know what kind of mask/mount you tried, whether it was a DIY. The Speardiver Stealth Mask is a volume spearfishing mask that has an optional gopro mount and I find it unobtrusive. I never dove in kelp so I don't know how much of a factor that is.

I hope you'll be ok.

Not at all.

LOL at the naked ab pic.

Virgili is correct, calling a cuban spearo "red grouper" is like saying homo. But I've never heard Cherna used in a derogatory way, only joking around among friends. That's why speardiver has the red grouper smilely
