Quote from Andrewk

did the jupiter diving thing today in hopes of bagging a cobe, my buddy ryan shot a 25 lber yesterday and had a sighting of a huge one.... we came up dry without a single sighting, I shot a rainbow runner but it never made it to the ice and cooked in the chum bucket on deck. Did get completely swarmed by a dozen feisty little sharks at one point that had me n one of the guys back to back for a few minutes.

Bummer about the cobes. They are around too.

About rainbow runners, they are amazing sashimi!! If you gut em and bleed em they make some really great sushi!

Howdy and welcome. I hope others from the west coast will chime in too to add advice as it will be a lot more specific.

Generally take it slow, spend a lot of time diving. Meet other experienced spearos and dive with them. And have a blast. This is the best activity one can do....by yourself

Damn. 7 garbage cans full!!

If you had to do bands all day long you'd get tired of it.

Very very true

I love the creativity and ingenuity but that is way overkill. Just use plyers or like Dan, use dowels

Quote from Stick em

It looks like a few of the welds were not so perfect. Then again, I think 20 yrs is about average on aluminum tanks.

Most likely. Will the poly one last longer?

Damn. That looks like a SERIOUS project. I would have been quite nervous too

Here it goes:
I even did it with an american notch spear
I tried to replicate the steps in Perfection (Angler's) Loop | How to tie the Perfection Loop | Fishing Knots
I've never done this knot before and would like to know how good is it...

You'll end up with a big loop but you can adjust it's size

when I untied it, I saw that it can me made easier and with the loop of the correct size...

And Chag sameach.

Next year in yerushalim always sounds like such a good idea.

Beautiful fish!

Wow and from the spear holes, 2 nice shots!!

Quote from marginatus

Ok, I'll make some pics with the spear, replicating the animated knot

Please do when you have a chance.

I have tried to make it happen in te past. I would need to see your method

Quote from marginatus

anyone tried this one:
Perfection (Angler's) Loop | How to tie the Perfection Loop | Fishing Knots
I've read that it should be one of the strongest loop knot...

Can't use that to attach a spear because you have to pull the loop through the knot.

Awesome! If $100 works ill Paypal you tomorrow. Thanks buddy.

Nice. I love that first pic. A lot of action on that aspetto!

Is it the blue handle one? And does it have a shaft or just a band?

If you still have it around this weekend ill give you a hundred for the RA 90.

Yeah. Bulls are like the annoying bulky jock at your high school. All pumped up with testosterone and no brain

Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing that. I really enjoyed getting to know you and your culture a little bit

Holy shite!!! One is a lifetime fish, 2 is insane

He will be missed
Art, I had the pleasure of meeting at a blue wild, seems to embody the spirit of the speardiver. I am sure his brother did as well.

RIP
