Out with Greekdiver down south yesterday. We hit some cool wrecks and reef and for most of the day had pretty good viz and very little current. Harry got some nice fish but no pics,,

Supposedly they taste just like regular hogs. I've been tempted to pop a couple big ones as I've heard fwc really doesn't know the difference. Frankly I'm not willing to take that chance, and it's just wrong. If they were legal to take, I'd definitely grab them.
Save yourself the ticket. Every FWC officer knows the difference between these two fish.

There's nothing to learn here. It doesn't matter if Nate was exhausted, dehydrated, had a bad sinus day, was his first dive of the day or last.
Every single day we dive and more specifically every single breath up we make an assessment of how we feel and dive accordingly. This is why sometimes my bottom time is 20 seconds in 40 feet and sometimes it is 35+ seconds in 80 feet. All the speculation makes me sick. Nate was bigger than this kind of talk. What happened is Nate saw a fish, he wanted it, and spent too long for that given dive to get it. He got the fish, but it took a little too much to get it. He wasn't wrapped in shooting line when they pulled him up and he wasn't caught on the bottom, he just failed to make surface and stay there.
I am sorry and I guess its healthy and normal for people to look for reason and something to take away from such a tragedy. You want to know what the lesson is? Don't stay under water longer than you should.
I would trade anything to see this again, but as it is I am just grateful to have spent the majority of my time in the water with Nate.

Thanks guys. I will try to get some pics up soon, most will be rod and reel now as we are not quite geared up of diving.
Geared you must get, diving you must go.
did you get pinched?
Thanks Judah for the hookup. Can't wait to get it set up
Braddah Jeb don't forget ur roots. They in tha banana.
Also I appreciate the offer but I want something brand new [ against my better fiscal judgement but new car needs new racks
]
What brand is what you have though and how'd you like it.
Happy birthday to the REDCHIEF, CHIEF OF THE REEF
:birthday2:
Don't you need them Judah? U got the coolest yak I know
Howdy all.
I just got a 2013 Golf TDI 2 door and I need some help.
I know a few of you have aftermarket roof racks on your cars and just want to hear what you are using and how you like it.
As of now the best option seems to be the THULE traverse feet with square load bars or maybe the aeroblades.
Open to any suggestions. Only thing I prefer is bars that extend out as wide or wider than the car so I can carry more than one yak at a time.
Also I don't want/need kayak specific racks (cradles&rollers). I've had that and I feel they are more trouble than help.
thnks
nice knife jaw. I bet you were surprised
Oscar never found that boat. I got wackes once without go pro going and the guy towed me in and paid for the broken gear. Lots of other close calls
yellowfin grouper, nice
Anchor line that at least doubles the depth you'll be diving in (Bass pro sells 100' of good polypro line with carabiner for <$20.00 ) plus a short piece of line to tether your two kayaks together when not using the tandem. A dry box and someway to secure your gear if you are not stowing it inside as one day you'll probably get swamped coming in or going out. Most dive flags are not anywhere near tall enough without extending it. Fishing poles work or walmart sells bicycle flag poles for a couple bucks that are about 5 feet tall and can be rigged.
That covers the essentials that will keep you from losing your kayak and your stuff. Flag pole extension does not at all guarantee you wont get smacked

diving in 120' isnt diving 120'
The suit looks as good in the water as I imagined it would
