Kind of a stupid little video. But it puts me on my boat. This is what we're doing out there. It's not all the video camera shooting fish down there. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Duquesnay is always telling us some story about Jamaica. Notice his accent? I watched this about 15 times. It takes me out of the office to the boat. hah.

I put my hood on, placed my mask where I normally wear it, moved around like I was swimming and then felt where my ear hole was through the hood. I used a mirror and marked the hole with a felt tip pen. Then took the hood off, heated a Phillips screw driver and burned the holes where the marks were. It came out pretty good. You could make more holes too I guess. The key is the one right over the ear hole though so water can go in and out.

Here's pics of the ones we got in our ponds last year. The small one in the top picture is a Pacific White, which we grow on the farm. It's also the preferred shrimp grown worldwide. These two shrimp are about the same age. The tiger is huge. They grow fast.
Some were big, and some were small. All have grown up and a few are now mating and spawning. This hasn't been done very often. Tiger shrimp broodstock are historically taken from the wild, spawned once and eaten or released. They don't breed readily in captivity. Some do artificial insemination but it's labor intensive and costly.
I'm going to build a domesticated line that DOES breed. The offspring of these will have a higher number of natural spawners. This same process happened with the white shrimp we grow about 25 years ago.
I have some now that are about 9 mm long. Post larvae day 4. And another 5000 or so Zoea 3 stage. I'll have enough to fill up a breeding house in about 8 months. Patience.
All American Monodon. haha. I love my job. -
no. do those help with the suction?
Yes. If the hood seals over the hole of your ear and air is trapped inside, it compresses as you descend. This is what "sucks" the hood into your ear.
And you can't hear worth a shit without holes. Grouper grunts, the snap, crackle and pop of the reef....

Man, that was an expensive fish.
Unreal diving though George. I don't like caves....even on land. Great job recovering that fish. I keep a scuba unit on my boat too. We get fish that dive over the wall at times deeper than 100 feet. Haven't had to use it in a couple years now.....I have a Jake. haha
But Dogs are so fast at holing up. Here in Belize we have 3 spots where we know they come in to roost in holes at night. It's their way. When I shoot cuberas and muttons....they fight but don't hole up so....efficiently?Thanks for the story. Have fun on the rest of the trip.

That´s the reason I hate Ali, I always wanted "Smoke" Frazier to kick his butt. He was allways way over the line insulting his opponents
I think it was all an act but as you pointed out, over done at times. Ali was just playing it up and it really made boxing popular. And you can't deny, he had the heart of a champion. He never quit and could take a punch.

Do you have ear holes in the hoods? I burn them in all mine.
Nice pictures. And nice boat.

We just ate some of the smaller snappers for lunch. Fish like that is like a Grade A US New York steak. No need spices or seasoning. Just the taste of beef.
This fish is the same. Fried just right and eat it plain with just a little salt. So good... -
Details baddeehh. This sounds like a good 5 minute story.

Sorry for yours and spearfishing's loss Don. I'm a late comer to this sport but I admire the pioneers.

The master of taunting, showboating and trash talking. Sometimes it works. Sorry for the slight derail. Love the music too. -
What a day. NIce shallow spot but the waves were rolling in. The water on top of the reef spurs is only about a foot deep with cuts in between about 10 -20 feet deep and narrow....like 6 to 10 feet wide. When the waves break over the shallow part, the bigger ones suck you in and drop you on the reef. I have a big bruise on my thigh, a sprained hand, and a beat up gun. Also...this is a good one...I stuffed a school master snapper up my wetsuit top, after getting rolled on the reef....and he bit me with the classic snapper mouse trap jaw snap. He had hold of the skin right on my sternum and wouldn't let go. I had to drop gun and weights, unsnap my beaver tail, pull up my top and ouch...he was still hanging on. If I pulled him the skin was stretching....I finally pried his mouth open. Jake was laughing his ass off.....nice kid.
If he comes on and posts I was screaming like a little bitch....it's a lie.
Look at DuQuesnay's fins. Old Riffe blades fit into Beachat pockets, ties with fishing line. He's a classic. -
The first batch is post larvae already. 9 days old. We had another spawn yesterday. I'll have about 5000 or so to grow on to a breeding program.

And now I have babies. It's happening. haha. I really have a fun job sometimes.

I'm no expert on this but when Jake shoots, he mounts the GoPro on his head with a strap.
If it's on the gun and you let go the gun to grab the fish, the camera keeps on rolling.
But the gun and camera may be pointing anywhere. If it's on your head, it'll stay focused on the fish and the fight since that's what you'll be looking at. -
Me too. I'm wearing my 1.5 out.

How long will ceviche stay fresh? I made way more than I could eat and I was wondering if it will still be good tomorrow.
For me, ceviche is like chili. (American "truck stop" type chili)
It tastes better after being in the refrigerator overnight. I guess it all gets blended together more? -
Those guns make a wong perform like a toy in comparison. Proudly mexican made-
Wow, I didn't know you were the champ. Congratulations.

Nice. Keep the reports coming. Thanks.

Man, that was a nice video. You're a hell of a good shot. All head, stone shots.
