Viz inside the first reef is very hazy today. Just a heads up
You must be shooting a 6.75 or 7mm shaft, max. A single 16 won't push a 7.5mm hard to a single wrap without dropping.
You are correct, I've never used a 7.5 shaft.
It shoots a 7 shaft pretty slow too, but that's how i like it.

I dont mean to derail but after contemplating the last 4 years I've spent diving I've come to realize that the only setup I can hit fish with on a 120 pipegun is with one short 16mm band. I dove a lot and started using two 16mm bands and switched to one 20(or 19mm) band and always come back to the nice, new snappy single 16mm band
awesome vid. really love the big macks and the grouper in the crevice
Is it already time for the Annual Freddie Mercury Lookalike Spear-Off again :hi:
I never can see the fish people shoot until after they hit them in these GoPro videos.
I know, its getting exceedingly frusturating. I'm trying to find an alternative under $2000 for shootin vids underwater. For mask and gun mounting gopro seems to be the way to go though
Here's a couple frames later

In retrospect I wish I had gotten a pic of Nate's hog. It was one of those days where looking out over the intermittent rocks and sand while lying there it just boggled ur mind that a hog wasnt coming in wild eyed to check you out, but he did find a darknose before the day was through
But apparently not on this dive? <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">
Look harder;)
Out till dark , found muttons hogs and porgies

I like the laminates
Polespears or gtfo
man this gun is sweet. I keep coming back to look at it. I hope whoever gets it really appreciates what a work of art it is
wheres the video guys,, I need some at work entertainment and your stories are only half doing it
p.s Hank I knew there'd be a report within a week, even if you didn't get wet
diversity is the spice of life
It is a nice gun, but I don't see the point of a wooden gun so short. For a 90 cm IMO a Cressi Comanche, Marc Valentin or any alluminum speargun is more than enough.
That's not a very Italian opinion Marco,, I think you've lost your roots

Awesome Frank. Really enjoyed the turtle clips editing and epicness. So much underwater video is edited like a documentary from 1985 (including mine) that its cool to see drama and suspense. And as always thanks for the awesome pic of me lol. I need to take more gpro pics for sure.
Saturday was a good time despite never shooting my gun. I saw lots of very decent but way too spooky schoolmasters and dogs. Lots of april groupers, lots of borderline grovers/schoolmasters and 12" hogs. Nothing to connect to my spear to but it was nice to get out.
We tried to launch a yak where it wasn't allowed. The lifeguards stopped us but they were very cool and friendly to us about spearfishing and launching from the crowded beach. Just not a kayak. They even watched Shawns kayak under their tower while we dove so we didn't have to drag it back to the car until after. It seemed like they almost wanted to let us go but couldn't because 400 people were watching. They also said we could before they arrive at 9. So props to Hollywood lifeguards for being cool dudes.
Wow looking at the pic I just realized exactly where u went out of. Props for switching it up
