this is one from a couple years back .gilled and gutted it bottomed out my 30# scale the cooler its sitting on is a 140 or 150 and the gun is a 48"
philThat tail looks really massive, even though the rest of the fish looks the same as every other big halibut to me.

Oh and if you haven't eaten the Giant Hawkfish yet, its amazing! I shot one a few years ago having no clue what it was and it turned out to be amazing. Nice job all around!Yah Darren's fish guide book didn't say how tasty that fish was, but when it said in the book, "Giant hawkfish will most likely be hunted to extinction by spearfishermen." I knew it had to be a good eating fish <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Good luck on that grunt hunt. That'd be quite a challenge. I saw some big ones swimming around down there, but none that looked 10lbs.

If anyone is confused on what species of fish you shot, just use this website. http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?ID=9398&AT=leopard+grouper
You can search for fish here http://www.fishbase.org/search.php
Display Moretiger vs leopard groupers.
We need to start using scientific names.
many places will have the same name for diferent species
and viceversa.
But, "normally" speaking, tiger grouper is from the atlantic
and leopard from the pacific.I say if you want to start using scientific names you've got to also use the common name that people are familiar with at the same time. A format like this below would be easy to read.

Glad it was to you Daniel!
Soon enough!
Daniel- What type of grunt? If you look through the IUSA records, burrito grunt is wide open.... <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
ha it looked like a 1.5 pound surf perch to me. Sandy called it a grunt and Darren shot it
. I checked the IUSA records and they don't accept any ocean fish that is under 10 pounds. -
Hopefully this one will last a little while. Its a Leopard Grouper (cabrilla in esp). Shot in Gonzaga April of 2009. Went 16 lbs.

I just got back from Baja. It was windy, but a ton of fun. Shot my first grouper on the last day of the trip an hour before sunset - a 16.5 pound leopard. We also shot triggerfish, hawkfish, pargos, and a grunt. Conditions varied from crappy vis to just huntable, but we stuck it out and got some nice fish

I've always wondered... what kind of meat do hogfish have? Can anyone relate it to a fish we have out here on the west coast?
btw Nice hog!

This is for Main Beach at Aliso. They change the view at the top of the hour to show Treasure Island, but only for 2 minutes.

That's the one I use all the time... it just blows that that beach is getting shut down to fishing forever.

It fried your stereo! How close were those lightning strikes? I'm guessing the one in the picture wasn't the closest one right?

Looks like an accident waiting to happen.

Sweet video! Thanks for sharing~

Loved watching that video. You really picked some nice music to go along with it.

Well with a nice Hali in the cooler it was worth it <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Haha well then I guess it wasn't worth it, since I didn't bring home with anything. I just wasn't in the mood for taking home a halibut unless it was a monster so I never fired my gun. -
Nice Daniel, you must have been freezing your butt off.
Cheers, Don
Freezing? Hell yah. I felt every leak in my wetsuit last night. Got back home and had the longest shower I've had in months.

Back when I owned a surf suit I'd routinely freeze my balls off in the water. That's when I started wearing thermal undergarments (long sleeve shirt and pants) underneath my wetsuit. Kept me slightly warmer. But once I bought a freedive wetsuit I was so toasty warm I ditched the thermal clothes and went back to freeballing.
Probably the main reason I don't wear anything underneath my wetsuit is because the air temperature is too cold out here 90% of the time. As soon as I take off my wetsuit I want to get into dry clothes and warm myself up ASAP. Wearing something under my westuit just means it'll take that much longer to get warm.
Functionality is all I care about. If they serve no purpose why wear them?

Ok, I can't get it to embed, but I like this for no good reason.
There is something about their facial expressions and head movements that was just extremely annoying to me.

Seen that dog before Davis. Pretty funny the first time <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

is it legel to shoot at shrimp with a gun??
A better question is, will the average game warden care?
Shrimp are like Humboldt squid. Both are bountiful, not endangered, impossible to grab by hand, rare for either to come into contact with divers, and with a near absolute certainty it is given that the DFG will never change the regulations to allow for spearing either (not because of protection purposes, but because it is just so insignificant that they would not want to waist the ink to allow it).
