Too sad. I'd seen his posts on Spearboard. Nice guy, very courteous poster and seemed to be an experienced diver. Rest in Peace brother.

No worries on the English. We'll figure it out. And pictures talk all languages. Welcome.

NO Joke on that roe, it is not like any other.
have you ever thought of canning that C. Mackerel ?
you can really get allot this time of year.Good Going !!
Thanks Cookie. I don't always eat sashimi, but when I do I prefer cero mackerel. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> My wife calls Jake and me, "John Crow". That's the name for buzzard down here.

Light color on the snappers Jake is holding. We found them in shallow water. Found an old wreck. I can't believe I never went there before. It looks like about a 150 foot freighter crashed on the reef and got busted to pieces....how many years ago. Loaded with very smart fish. It's in shallow water...8 to 20 feet deep or so. I think it would be best to hunt alone or with one person. Just be real quiet and wait for them to come out.
Saw one cobia but Tino missed it. Lot of eagle rays. I got a nice cero. There was a whole school and this was the lead, biggest one. Female with eggs. Love the roe.
I didn't shoot the snappers I'm holding. Tino got one and Jake got one. But Tino is camera shy. I'm not. haha.
I'm deadly with the 9/16 bands. I'm 8 for 9 the last two trips. 6 stone shots. ya man. -
That's a great review on the Speardiver Stealth. I got one for me and one for my wife, who is finally wanting to start shooting fish. I gave my other mask to Doc.
The Stealth masks should be here any day. -
Great editing with the slow, soft music that jumped up a couple notches right as you shot the king. I have to work in this. My GoPro usually just sits in the boat.
-
That's not normal stingray habitat either. Usually they're buried and hiding under, or swimming over sand. I've never seen one come in for inspection like that. Nice video.
-
Whooaaa......I'd hope my boat is near if I saw that....
-
To be honest, I've never even seen a smook
We only see smook in Belize. They ate all the little weaney sNook. Ihad one almost sink my boat once. Typing on an iPhone sucks.....peckerheads.....
-
Smook here are usually found where a river or creek meets the sea. This also makes for lousy vis which would make them difficult to spear. Dude G, you're good, badehh. Hah.
I'm sitting in a doctor's office in BelizeCity. -
There was a Fisher Body plant in Cincinnati. A lot of my friend's dads worked there when we were kids.

NIce. You're very well organized. I like the band tying box. I have to buy a small tackle box. I have everything in metal powdered milk cans now. I have to dig for stuff. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

IMHO it will be very good for a wide face. I switched from the bandit to the micromask because the bandit was too small for my big nose and a little small on my face. The micromask was better, and the stealth even more so.
It's not your face....it's your forehead....or five head. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Just joking buddy.....we come from the same blood. I have red haired brother and sister. Same forehead too. -

Most importantly(not really), it makes me look cool(er) instead of goofy(er).Perhaps its the skirt shape and size and shape of the lenses but I feel like my other masks made me look kind of like a weird bug and this mask makes me look like a fighter pilot.
Overall im pretty impressed so far and cant wait to go diving with this thing and really try it out.You sold me with the pictures. I just ordered two.
-
Nice. I have two Aim Speardiver masks. They work great but the skirt is a little hard and after 5 hours or so the cartilage between my nostrils gets a little sore.
I want one of these Venom masks. Maybe two. My wife wants one. Now..... Really. Like, before I go to Hawaii. In two weeks.....Dan? DAN !!! haha. For real dude.... -
You think Santa can bring me one of those this year? Nice boat. What powers it?

Nice picture Hank. Man that guy looks about 45, I need to change my diet.
Cheers, Don
And, he was in a car wreck 10 years ago. He hit a horse and severed his spine from his pelvic bone. Amazing recovery. He eats well and exercises.
We're going to collect some sea weed that he swears really helped his healing process. They make shakes out of it here.
71, looks 45 and acts like he's 25. Great guy. Gives free dental care to patients he knows don't have any money. Comes in anytime of the day to help someone with a toothache. Willy loves him. Sunday after diving he's saying, "Mr Doc, come inside my house....come on". I went in and Willy was giving him fried chicken, nuts....haha.
Really a special person. -
Mo and I used the bands on Sunday and for whatever reason <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> we both did really well. I only missed one shot. I was coming down on a nice black and just as I pulled the trigger, he bolted. The shot hit right where he was though.
I made Mo's bands 25 for his Riffe C3X. Riffe sets it up with 24 inch 9/16 from the factory but with a 5/16 shaft and the monster double flopper head. Mo is using a 9/32 with a single flopper. He had no trouble cocking them and he got about 6 fish. He shot the hog in the picture and 1 mangrove and 3 dogs and another smaller hog...I think.
I really like the smoother feel with less recoil. I think when I use 5/8 that I actually tense up a bit just as I pull the trigger, which isn't good. With these bands I can use a more relaxed grip.
This pic fricken amazes me. It's hard to believe that Doc is 71 years old. He looks 50.

All American Monodon. How's that for a brand name? haha. I have never had them breed in captivity before. These are doing it naturally now. We're getting small spawns a couple times per week. I'm not tagging but based on the time frame I'm sure that at least 4 females are breeding. We need the genetic diversity of about 16 shrimp.
This one is 19 days old, ready to move from hatchery to ponds. This is pretty much what they look like when they would catch them from the wild in the Philippines and stock them on ponds....way back in the 1980s. He's about 12 mm long.
It used to take 30 days to get that big when hatcheries first started. This one grew a LOT faster than that.
