Awesome frank!!!

We hoped you'd like that one Dan

That is a pretty neat added bonus for a good buddy diver.

What gun was that? Looked like a long shot

Yeah. Ft laud. Vis was very dive able. Got better deeper we went although the sun was key. When we had cloud cover it was very difficult.

None of the injured fish were hurt bad. All scrapes and nicks. They will unlikely even learn from the experience.

I can't explain it. I was either dialed in and hitting eyes and head or wayyyy off. I guess that is life huh?

I got a vid of chasing away the nurse. I'll post it later

Other models or this one. What was wrong with them if you don't mind

Oh I forgot. A little four and a half foot nurse shark was being a real punk with me. I had just shot the big schoolmaster and he comes in fast. I charged him and he retreated but just did a quick circle and came back. I charged him again and then put away the fish. When I saw him the third time I had had enough so I charged him and chased him into a little ledge where he posted up and didn't bother either of us again.

I was moe and curly today

Got out to today with hardline. Hit a nice shore spot and had an eventful day. In the middle of the dive I said I was having a three stooges day and it seemed to just continue.

First, frank misses a Mac and I dive to try and shoot clean up. I shoot the fish nicely in the head and string it to the shooting line. Both of these details are important as I go to cut the gills and then I watch my spear sink to the bottom in 20'. D'oh!!! I cut the shooting line. Damnit. I bust a knot and it seems secure so I continue with the dive.

We finally make it to the outside of the second reef and I drop down for an aspetto. It works and a nice 16"~ hog come right over to me, so damn close that I can't even extend my gun. I shoot from the hip and somehow blow a shot that was seriously like four feet from my face. Unbelievable.

I put a nice chunky schoolmaster in the banks board and I hear hardlines gun go off. I see him swimming to the board figuring it is a nice fish and next thing I know he is cursing. Apparently the Grover did a flip flop on him and managed to jump the board. Double d'oh!!!

The day continued like that. I gave three fish hair cuts, got laughed at by a huge schoolmaster who had a teenie tiny hole he somehow fit into. I found three Spanish lobsters which were small. Then I remembered they have no size. They seemed too small to take regardless but still a stupid moment

I saw a nice gag just chilling at the edge of viz and when I shoot, and miss, my shaft flies really far. At this point I am free shafting apparently.

As we swim in a nice jack passes between us and I manage a really nice leading shot right in the eye. But I have never freeshafted and I forgot there is nothing to hold the fish on the spear. I dive to grab the spear as he is doing flips and I get there a second too late.

Happy to take three fish. Should have been like ten. But the three were nice shots.

Had a great day with hardline regardless. He shot some vid so hopefully he'll post some pics

Thanks guys. Here are those shells along with some others on top of the kitchen cabinet. Came out nice and clean

Thanks for the updates. Do you use the adhesive lined heat shrink or just the normal electrician stuff?

I love it. I grew w Dan it could use a little shaping up front but I really dig the simplicity and the look. Well done

Great clip. They look invisible in some shots. The slow mo shot was also incredible. Love the second person view.

Stud mangrove!! Nice day of fishing

Current has been hauling ass all week.

Climbers use that to secure the line slack when they are, among other things, pulling their gear or other climbers up. If you relax the knot it slides, if it is under tension it is very very well secured

Good luck brother be safe

Howdy

Where you going out from

Yellow jack. Very good for ceviche

If you are going after yellow tail you will surely need a lot more and the lack of flotation would make a pretty big difference.

Good luck finding what you need. Please let us know if you source some good floating stuff

Mine does not float but it is very close to neutral. I have been using the 10 ft version at the end by my float when diving in more than 50'. Since I need the extra length it is convenient and im more likely to encounter bigger fish.

I have only shot one fish with the rig but it was a nice yj and it pulled a bit. Made me a little excited to see my float get tugged by a fish. But remember I really don't target big fish. I prefer the taste of the smaller models

It you use the generic bungee I bought with a float line I feel like it is sufficient

Quote from hill raiser

Thanks all. Lunker, they are permit, not pompano. They were taken free shafting w/ Hawaiian slings. The big one gave my brother (who is not a small guy) an ass whipping.

D'oh!!! of course they are..i always mix up the names ofthose two species for some reason...mental block I guess

Wow. Looks epic! I like the poses in the water. Makes it look like you speared em in three feet of water

Amazing pompano
