I'm living on the North Atlantic East coast and been doing diving trips in over sixties countries...

Bwh plan needs to know the right season of the year for each pelagic fish you plan to hunt and according to local sport fishing feedback.

I have been hunting yf tuna in Mexico, Guadeloupe, Domin Républic, Panama, South Africa, Costa Rica... and the high season of the year is different in each different country.

Second parameter is the weather++. In some places wind has to do with moon phases and most of the time the fishing high season do not coincide with the best weather of the year...

the tiger seems to bee a pregnant female..

dt tuna capture is in my opinion the most attractive fish for sharks!

excellent choice!

I’m organizing a 1st Tuna Grand Slam Open 2020!

The tournament will begin on the 1st of july 2020.

The winner will receive a worth about 2,000 $ wood tuna gun and two shafts.

The Open rules:

The RULE 1: The Grand Slam winner will be the first diver who takes during the next months 3 different kind of tuna species. The tuna captures must be made among this 8 specie list: ALBACORE/ Thunnus alalunga- YELLOWFIN TUNA/ Thunnus albacares- BLACKFIN TUNA/Thunnus atlanticus- SOUTHERN BLUEFIN TUNA/Thunnus maccoyii- BIGEY TUNA/Thunnus obesus PACIFIC BLUEFIN TUNA/ Thunnus orientalis- NORTHERN BLUEFIN TUNA/Thunnus thynnus- DOGTOOTH TUNA/ Gymnosarda unicolor.

The RULE 2: Whatever the fish size and the technic used the tuna must be taken according to the local spearfishing regulations.The tuna Grand Slam Open will begin on the 1st of July 2020.

The RULE 3: The participants must share with P. Virgili the dated video and/ or photos of the capture as one goes on for the next months. These documents will be edited and published along the way on the Youtube channel Philippe Virgili.

Welcome aboard!

Years ago, I was told by colleagues from Algeria that the gouvernement considered the speargun as a weapon (as well as a gun) so that it made much more difficult to get a spearfishing licence...

In the reef I've been systematically using a 8 mm shaft + detachable spearpoint... Energy of the shaft has to do with the weight, no?

never do chumming the fish in the reef!...Well known that cubera become crazy with fresh lobsters!

Cuda is one of my favorite fish to eat/ no ciguatera...
