Mike, your getting carried away with Dungeons @ Dragons. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
I had real stuff when I used to fight with the great sword, the best stuff came from Croatia and France.(welded

How much do you need?

Was he spearing just to spear stuff?
He shot a bunch of nice fish over his time.It's hard to look at fish that were speared, caught rod and reel in the 50's. I have a hard time looking at images of Jew fish and Giant sea bass hanging from the dock scales, it was a different time.
In Haiti where the film was made I bet every fish was consumed by the fisherman or the locals. He did pass on the Moorish Idols ''in search of more sporting game''.
I still remember my first trip to Tahiti...I was standing on the dock wanting for a boat to take me to film on the outer reef. A beautiful Tahitian girl was fishing from the dock with a little scrap of thin mono, soon she hooked a 4inch yellow tang just like I had in my aquarium back home. While it was still alive she scaled it and tore pieces of flesh from the body to snack on. I didn't like it but kept my mouth shut, later I remembered doing the same thing to Bluegills when I was a kid. The little cute yellow tang was just a local fish for her.
I did eat a angel once.;) ....tan, blond hair.....
Cheers, Don
I just saw the Hoo pics today, must have been away the day ya posted mate. Very nice fish indeed!
Cheers, Don

Gustav Dalla Valle: Spearfisherman and SCUBAPRO Co-founder
I got to meet him once when I was close with Scuba Pro, later in life he started a fine wine vineyard.
He didn't need to be in the dive industry as he had plenty of bucks, a very colorful guy. He died in Dec of 1995 but his vineyard in Oakville Napa Valley is still run and owned by his wife.
Cheers, Don

Hi Don, Quick update
Just got off the phone talking to Greg, he says he is not in any pain and he has been walking around a lot! Greg tells me he might get out of hospital tomorrow or the next day! I will catch up with him again when he gets out!

Thanks Oscar.

Had a bad spell again with my back, took 3 weeks off.
Trimmed and fitted the inner hard bottom and found a use for a large sheet of 1/4 G-10 epoxy I will be bending
slightly with a wood buck form and a wee bit of heat, (135c) the boat now has a shallow V hull. The 3/4 marine ply with Rhino liner will finish the floor, but a have a FRV vest to fund first.
Cheers, Don
For Rick.
Daniel Lanois wrote this song in Ireland sitting on the bank of a black river that spilled into a dangerous sea.
Here it is preformed by Dave Matthews and Tim Reyolds.
I put this here as it was playing through my head at the service for Rick.
Beautiful mate,
Cheers, Don
I love the release, good for the soul. Karma tuna.

Hi Don, Good news! I have been talking with Anthea, she tells me Greg has injuries to his upper body, chest shoulders and head, but will make a full recovery! He has been out of bed and walking!
I am told he never saw the Shark at any stage, he was lucky to have been not too far away from another Ab boat that helped with first aid.
Regards
Barry Paxman
