Out solo today from 1 to about 4
When I got in it was an absolute lake. As I ventured east some swell built and eventually the winds turned. I could see bottom the entire way our to 55 feet which is a goood feeling. When I got to the actual spot viz was a bit hazier but still great and 0 current which means more to me than good viz.

I messed around in one spot, saw some small and barely legal hogs and muttons then paddled out a bit further east and got on a real sweet area. Lots of 15"+ hogs and life. I ignored the hogs waiting for a monster mutton which did eventually come along, out lasted me and in the end got educated with a failed shot.
I keep getting the slip by big muttons but I am just glad to be seeing them and they are a real impetus to increase breathhold and steady the aim.

Thanks guys! My hairs turning grey

Marco that was rad you should post video more often,, someones got to

Quote from Don Paul

Tell those Aussies in S.W. blue water that their skinny, springy euro shafts don't work on big fish.
The whole early Riffe gun concept was based on 1/4'' shafts that the Aussies were using when Jay moved there for a while. The Aussies copied what the Tahitians were doing when they went there on holiday or competed against them at World Meets. Tahitian flopper.....long overhang.... all very old news.
Just don't use them to shoot fish @ 20 feet towing 400# mono and sporting blunt points.

Cheers, Don

Flexing on impact.....sure on a blunt tip, or braking a spine. What do ya think a wood arrow did when the first indigenous hunter dropped a elk in the snow?

Weellll Riffe really came full circle on that one, coming standard with 8mm

what about shaft flex! :@

Ok, I got it, around here that is not a concern, you are allowed to launch wherever you´re capable of.

This ain't the rolling dunes of Baja with miles of uninhabited coastline!! Although I wish it were

Solid kayak with or without the motor.

Goodbye only source of upper body workout

If you are diving in Miami I think you are very soon going to want a gun much much bigger than 36"
Either way you'll most likely go with two 16mm bands and a 7 or 7.5mm shaft

Many great things happened in Hawaii,, but on the greatest day I forgot my gopro so im really just recovering from that emotionally right now ,, I'll tell ya all about it next time I swing by

I understand now,, after some amount of dead fish you start to mourn their loss
