Dont think so, she is only 8 years old, I will do most of the loading, I will start with a gallon jug first so she takes the feeling of shooting, she has shoot my guns but only in open water not at something at it was a 48" with 2 tight 5/8 bands, so it kick a little for her, she put a scary face at first but it was change fast to a DAMN this is awesome and "I want a speargun" .

Pucho

PS the trigger guard is soldering 1/8" SS rods

Dang it. and i tought me starting on this at 12 years old was the bomb 20+ years ago, by the time she is like 15 she will be out fishing us for sure. and we wil be on the boat drinking on a rocking chair;) Gratz that is a awesome gun for her to get her spearo life going . And is awesome she like the sports almost as much as we do. I know there is no better partners than daddys little girl and viceversa. Only daddy can bring safety in the water like no one else:thumbsup2:

OHHH Yea. You guys notice by now that with all that knowledge the gun will come out awesome. I call Bill the TEAK WISPERER:thumbsup2:. This thread will try to cover all those little small angles on this weird type of gun. Is kind of like an euro with a little twist to the conventional Riffe gun with the expertise of the wisperer. The results will be shown first time in the water and i make my first kill. Pictures is a must on my first out to kill something..I will have a picture when i get the gun for the first time.:laughing3: Can you imagine the reaction i sure can:D I also will be posting all the parts that will be included on the project for future reference. Everything for the spearos in this forum to share and use when they try to build their own guns,

P.S. You got to get the Blanks from the wosperer they will not dissapoint:thumbsup2:

:birthday2: TO ME:laughing3: Bill you Da' Man:thumbsup2: Yep it is that time of the year where my little overkill beast will be born. I was searching like crazy, questioning myself, but after all this time me and Bill (Woody Guy) got the idea to a 90%. This will be a hell of a thread following the steps from start to the finished product, hoping to help other spearos to see how a masterpiece is born;). Tin Man will be the master of disaster creating one hell of a handle that if it comes out the way i think it will be one of a kind but the waiting, yes sir the waiting, why the waiting? yes you guess right not so patience i guess right?. :iwantitnow:. is going to be a long process but i guess the wait will more than worth it:thumbsup2:

Holy crap did I have fun today. First off I would like to thank Hau and Scott for waiting for me. Hau I put that anchor back into your truck, ty for the genorous offer but it was just to combersome for me. I went to west marine on the way home and got a small one.
So this was my maiden voyage on a yak, wow I felt like a fat tangled mess out there. I am gonna reorganize a few things which I hope will make my life easier for next time. Once I was in the water things got allot better. None the less the vis was good, a bit windy and a little current.
Steve

i was waitting the whole day for the results. so? any fish? where is hau with all his high speed status:laughing3: At least is good to know you guys have fun, not like ome of us that had a horrible day at work

Quote from pargo

Now that you mention it still do static breathhold sometimes

:laughing1::laughing3::noshit: Good one Dan

And you say that was an e-mail sent to you? That looks like an interview with the past present and future ghost of freediving;). With words deep like that he should write a book. I know for sure i will buy it.:thumbsup5:

I did a google search for Spearfishing forums and this forum was on the third page then tried Freediving spearfishing search and it shows on 7th position:(. I know i'm using a goverment (ARMY)computer . But it still show the same list that at home. I might not be able to get in to some of the other links due to be restricted for army but i can get to this one no problem. So is still good buiseness for me:thumbsup2::thumbsup2:

Damn ROLO. You seem like a preety good doctor there. I had to pull out my dictionary out:0, That is to much info for me. :laughing3: I couldnt follow you. Joaking. I understand first hand what you mean. Like i say family members have this symptoms in the past. And once they eat certain fish that might contain a little trace of the toxin. The reaction shows fast and everytime it happens it gets worst. That is because they really never got rid of the toxin in the first place. Like they say in Puerto Rico. You just keep building the amount up. This good info right here. but i guess this will be a huge thread by itself. As spearos we focus on the hunting. As fish eaters well we are like anyone else cook the fresh fish and eat it. The ciguatera is always a gamble. I have not seen a method that really works when it comes to identify the toxin. Anyone have any idea, cause i have heard of some weird shit like let a cat smel it. and if he doesnt eat it is bad. I can tell you that my family ,ishermans most of them. have tried that . and doesnt work:laughing3:. Even the one that you let the meat sit in a table and if the flies dont get to the meat is because is bad meat. And i know old school spearos or comercial fishermans have plenty of stories about it. I was tought to spear by a old cuban when i was 12 years old. 21 years later i can still remember all his stories, Real awesome guy, he got lots of pictures with huge snappers and Groupers from back in the day in cuba. And he told me lots of stuff about different species that in Puerto Rico lots of people dont eat but they are good eating. have you guys hear this weird stories from fishermans?

Quote from hau

you are correct. I missed some great pictures Sunday with that Bull, moray eels, dead fish in the yak, on and on. For now I'll work on getting my iphone pictures posted here until I can get an UW camera.

See that tells the story right there. :wantpics: and you guys should think about the spearos on the forum wanting to see some blood:D that is selfish i guess:laughing3::muahaha:

Quote from pargo

A mi me gusta el desafiio de coger un buen aguajis o especialmente una buena cubera. Pero en cuanto a comer me da igual. La verdad es que mas alla del buen sentimiento por haber cojido un buen ejemplar, los otros pescados se los doy a personas que los aprecian mas. En mi freo se queda la picuda nada mas. Es facil a limpiar, da mucha carne con muy pocas espinas y sabe bien.

Te entiendo completamente como cazadores siempre vamos en busca de una buena presa como trofeo pero no importa lo que pesquemos nada se echa a perder. En cuanto a una picuda de ese size yo no creo que yo le meta el diente por experiencias personales con la ciguatera en familiares. pero se que hay muchas personas que se lo comen como si nada y son bien agradecidos. Yo siepre regalo o vendo ejemplares bien grande. Y me quedo con los que den un size para cocinar bien en el grill. como de 14-20 lbs o que los filetes quepan en el grill..:thumbsup2: Y cierto la picuda es carne de calidad pero tu sabras que hay muchas personas que no la quieren ni probar por falta de conocimiento. Pero a mi no me importa por que eso significa mas para mi.:D

Mercado.christian

Mucha gente no come la picuda en Puerto Rico por miedo a ciguatera, pero la realidad es que hay muchas especies como la picuda que sufren el mismo problema,desde el mero hasta el capitan. No hay mucha diferencia pero si te puedo decir que la carne de la picuda es buena. Si yo veo un pescado que tiene una descoloracion o un olor malo:nono: nunca me lo como no importa que especie sea. Como el Guacamayo(cotorro) muchas personas no lo pescan por no tener que escamarlos pero son excelentes pescados con una carne de muy buena calidad.:) Espero que eso conteste tu pregunta.

In all my life i was under the impresion that cudas close to the shore where more expose to ciguatera due to the small fishes they eat around that can carry it. But the ones in deep water or blue water are good for eating. Same problem with Hog Fish (Capitan like they say in Puerto rico.) Is known that Hog's Carry lots of ciguatera as well. But the ones from deep waters dont. I have got lots of hogs in my life and only very few got family members sick. all of them taken close to shore, the rest of them were taken on waters far from shores, Bays, or rivers, on waters over 60 feet deep and they were clean. Cudas I like a lot but i think because i eat only the small ones from the deep waters i have never goten sick. Up to 20 pounds. Cudas over that weight i use for chumming:D.

Sounds great to me...sort of like what HSD does with the Hawaiian records. PS you can go ahead and reserve a spot for me on the kingfish record
I shot this one last year and can finally share the picture with everyone as the article I wrote about it just went to print in the last HSD magazine. The story is called "The Wait"

WOOOWWW:0:0That is a Big Kajunas right there Congratz:thumbsup2::thumbsup2:
