that is a cute ass little dolphin. thanks for sharing that.
I wonder if he is treated differently within his pod? they mention all of the adaptations and weaknesses that he has, but I always thought of pods as looking out for one another, how does this play in?
This is ridiculous...why?
while that thing is clearly a frankengun, it is a nice job with the finishing and the bondoing and such..it got a lot better looking in the last three pics
also did this guy in the pic shoot both fish on the same shot? what is up with his striger/lineshaft
hell yeah it would..with a few clips around the edge so you could scope out the floatline you wanted and then be secure at that length..I say it is an awesome idea...the round shape on the float would add tdrag over say a torpedo or longer float, but that is manageable
agreed, i always iki them too, i was just wondering what others thought about the chill kill method....to me, iki is essential cos it keeps the vibrations to a minimum and that is tax man stealth 
hey buddy welcome
You will love your new gun. I love the wooden extension in the back third to hip load. I would really like to go with you and get a beer and talk about spearfishing afterwards ... Ill be ther with you somehow, i`m stoked for you. Nothing like getting a new speargun :thumbsup2:
hahaha, he didn't do it...the rob Allen reigns supreme in the Hau quiver...
i would love to sit and chat spearo with you whenever you find the time to venture to miami
awesome Hau...sounds like a perfect killing machine
glad you were able to do the fund raising so fast and some folks got some SICK deals
nice to hear the LDS taking care of regulars
i heard a guy who owns a fish market talk about chill killing. I thinkl this method should be added too the discussion. the idea is that you use the cold to keep the fish super fresh as it is also killing it. the would or addition cuts you make are fine, but he stressed that ice and sea water make for the best tasting fish cos it keeps better.
i wonder if it is critical that they die in the ice or just that they get there fast.
got it rigged up and tricked out yesterday at austin's
new RA shaft- 160cm
new ra band - 20mm x 33"
very clean mono shooting line (might replace it with dyneema just for better vis)
I'll throw up some pics tonight after work. It is a beautiful gun and I am pumped to try it out this weekend.
i have a 24 inch gun you could use...let me know if/when you want to borrow it and I'll meet you up in your neck of the woods on some day I go up there to dive.
there is a vein on most fish that is visible and runs directly behind the pectoral flipper/fin. when I have brained a fish I will often make a cut there and use the few remaining hertbeats to fully bleed the fish through there. I find that doing so and putting the fish in a mix of ice and seawater makes for some delicious fishes
all i know is there is a guy who was on that stupid show "the ultimate warrior" or something like that, the show where the little guy and the big guy go and learn different styles and then fight all over the world...at any rate this guy was a master who trained on top of the Great Wall and used to train with a blind fold on...he was the most incrediible fighter I have ever seen, he was sparing with his student, while blindfolded and with a casual blow he made the student puke..it was incredible
those are sick as hell...his workmanship is flawless
oh yeah, I am trying to be all over this
hau- we were talking about launching out of matheson hammock at like 630 i believe...I am going to call Jorge in a few moments to confirm all the details but we were looking at the elliot key area
i know the pole spear is way faster, the reload time is about 2-3 seconds for a beginner
as far as accuracy, it will be a less than 5 foot shot so you really shouldnt miss.
the spear will prolly have more impact power as it is longer and heavier...let's try both and see
i was going to go out with marine jorge tomorrow and there might be room for one more in his boat, hopefully he chimes in
I am hoping the weather allows for yaks on sunday
that is crazy...i was just reading about another crazy fish that was just discovered by some FAU guys called the spookfish, it has 4 eyes and uses a crazy combo of crystal lenses to see at depth.
the ocean is so cool
