yeah... protected, it burns me up too cos I've eaten them in the islands and man are they tasty

if he is stabbing straight down, yes, he'll have lots of force,,if the angle stays the same, i cannot imagine he'd hit anything given the splash he'd make putting the spear in the water

dan, peppers grow very easily here in FL

very cool innovations..i have come to expect no less from you two ballers..

thanks for the info...have you thought about making a delrin shape that you could just insert into the tip and then carbonfiber around that and just cut open the hols after? might be easier

what a loss...I am saddened for your friend Don, thanks for using his memory and passing to keep us and others safe with knowledge

i was more making a hypothetical argument using a cladistic point. the notion that taxonomy is categorized by lineage and ancestry leads one to think that two distinct stocks who have common ancestry and behave differently could be argued as distinct species.
to your point about the coloration, to me, that supports the point because that is a subvariation based on location. I was not suggesting that the species should be renamed based on my observation, but i assume the possibility of hybridization with different fish from different areas could also actually change the fish eventually

this is why the handle is such a subjective thing...

sweet, awesome story and fish of a lifetime

hoping sunday will allow some action

haha, good one

i have heard of one technique....but it is a guarded secret.

Bucket

i agree....

....I always wonder if they are the same fish...

....and to take it a little further...if they are biologically the same, but by their environment have adapted to behave in a different way, wouldn't that be (philosophically) argument that they are two distinct species by virtue of separate evolutionary trends. just because we cannot perceive the difference doesn't mean there isn't one?

i also shoot a dyneema line...I use the powerlineQ..i love it...it holds up very well and performs as above mentioned.

i also like the high visibility, esp when you get holed up..it is sooo easy to follow the bright yellow line:)

a thing worth discussing is the anchor rigging as well..hau like to have the anchor ready to deploy all rigged on the surface of the yak...I prefer to have it in the hold on the way out and only rig it when at the spot...takes me longer but i have less in my lap

I have used the anchor trolley and I think it is awesome in bad conditions but overwhelmingly unnecessary. I can always get to the front of the yak easily enough or a spot close to the front so the anchoring is not a problem on my yak without it...

it is convenient, but not needed

the lack of space is why I was thinking the bucket would work...the home depot bucket is perfect..it is orange which adds visibility and reflects a little light to not get tooooo hot...I have been thinking about a way to insulate one, but haven't had any good ideas?

then secure the top with bungees so it can lock and the lid cant get lost...you have to halve some fish, but I was told by an fwc officer that if the halves are at the smallest, legal, that is okay. I'm sure any officer could see it differently.

the flag looks great. I like that bike whip...very nice.

based on the tiny little ceros ive been seeing hahaha, yes , they have to be

I don't know about the averages..I'm sure they are on the FWC site

top is a cero and the bottom is a spanish

looking good buddy,i like the rigging. post a pic of the flag up if you would

you might want to add a padeye or cleat on the front so you can anchor up at that point...I think you need a bucket for the back too:)

you will find that the better your yak is tailored to you, the better your overall diving experience.

nah, cero and spanish are different...i 've never seen a spanish...the cero have yellow spots and a yellow stripe.......spanish just have yellow spots
