Huge wave but I don't see 90ft. Looks like a 40ft swell that jacked up to 60 or 70ft when it hit the reef. Simply incredible.

My last 30 or 40 trigger pulls have been with the Riffe ice pick or a jbl tri cut ice pick rerigged to my specs. All solid, pass through shots, on wsb and yt. None of them took anymore then my shooting line. I own mori KP and alexander tips as well.

Last time I went paddy hopping I saw some bulls on parade...

The cleansing will require a wood chipper, video camera and a few beverages.

no matter what you guys say, still don't see the point. i don't like raw fish . i've tried a little bit just in extreme situations , and i don't like it. in extreme situatios i'd eat even worms or whattever. but i would never try suchi , sachimi or the like. the only way i feel fish to be tasty other than cooked in fire ( oven or whattever ) is cooked in lime juice. of course , to each his own. i just don't see the point.
Seared Ahi is pretty damn good. Cooked on the outside and pink in the middle.

Quote from article: The recovery plan is scheduled to be completed in January 2014.
For a critically endangered species that seems like a very slow response.
No doubt.

yeah but you only shoot halibut wsb yt and occasionally pick scallops.
i wish i was good enough a diver to be that picky! those are pretty much the same fish i target, but when my freezer is empty i add calico, sargo, rockfish and a few others to that list of targets. id rather eat local speared calico than store bought halibut. and id rather eat either of those than store bought poultry or red meat.
however i only make sushi from fish i catch, you wont see me paying premium prices for live or sashimi grade cut fish at asian markets. not only because i cant afford it, but also because the live fish and the tuna trade arent very environmentally friendly...
Some of those polespear fish are pretty good raw.

I only tried that once twenty years ago in 4 FSW but was moving too much in the surge. Had to dive to the bottom and grab pebbles....but I did get the fish.
I'm far worse than a SSS. I used a hoopnet while we were at anchorage a month ago, But Donny Hopper didn't even get a short
but I wasn't drinking, which I hear is mandatory.;) What a waste of a nice can of sardines.Cheers, Donny Hopper

When I grew up my dad told me never to wear black clothes because black was an evil color and bad things would happen if I wore black. I always thought it was ridiculous, but he made sure I never wore black clothes when I lived with him.
Growing up with a superstitious parent figure forcing his radical beliefs on me has made me a firm disbeliever of bad mojo, bananas on a boat, or any other absurd superstitions.
OK. If the gun doesn't work out for you I would like to buy it.

Funny video but I think he is more of a victim of SB and not the problem.

Here is one study out of Australia on the lobster and urchin relationship:
Overfishing reduces resilience of kelp beds to climate-driven catastrophic phase shift

Some seriously bad mojo on that gun.

However, the main cause of Death stated in the article is from disease caused by pollution, so why no have Laguna finally deal with their pollution problems.Ironically, the environmental groups are putting pressure on the California Water Control Board to force Laguna Beach, among other cities, to clean up its water because of the MPA's biological significance.

Pretty heroic catch. Struggling with a California halibut half this size is no picnic.
