Welcome
-
Yes, I agree with Red Tide, usually while going for tuna, we spear something else to eat as a variety, and I once speared a large Barred Snapper, and the meat was not good, first and last one.
But they are really cool looking, and I bet some one will find it tasty, its probably a matter of
what you prefer. -
Thanks Dan.

Such a pretty fish, it looks huge!

I have shot many fish, that had long time injuries and survived, I have some pics, one is a Yellowfin tuna, his mouth had been hit by something, am guessing a Bill fish, and it was all bend, but survived to be speared by me, a coiple of wahoos, one of them had the jaw completely broken, and was like that eating from my chum line, it looked like a big hook he could scape from, or maybe another Bill fish, and another wahoo had something on his back, it wasin the process of healing, with an odd shape, again, not sure what it was, but he was in a school of wahoo, and looked pretty healthy to me.

In 2005 went to Mexico with Joe and Tom, we all got a few yellowfins and I
was lucky enough to land a Black Marlin.
Last day, was my best day in blue water, landing both
species in the same day. -
Black Jack.
23.39 pounds.
-
My 276 pound Yellow fin tuna.
I did got another fish that day.
I had posted a 23 pound black jack, but dont see it on the records.

I bet max capacity in the sticker is really high, since RIB have a large weight capacity.

Lunker, you are missing the point, when he says "eye opener", thats what you should get out of a freedive class, your mentor, a buddy who teaches you, or just reading the internet deaths, this is without a question an xtreme sport, and those that are not aware of it are in danger of dying.
Younger guys are at a very high risk because of their competitiveness, and their streng and stamina that will allow them to go deeper and deeper as they grow into the sport, without proper training IN SAFETY, is like giving someone a car when he does not know the trafic rules, first red light and he could die.
If depth would kill you, there would be a lot of dead freedivers, but is the other way around, the diference in the sports is mainly the buddy system, Freedivers understand the danger and dont dive alone.
Freedive classes are exellent for 2 guys who always dive together, if you take the clinics by yourself, you will become a good safety buddy, but you will feel very alone and in danger when spearing with your dive buddies who dont know anything about safety from there on.
My son, however, is diving deeper and longer and I watch him much more closely than I used to. I've even met him at 20-30 feet on his way up after longer dives, which is what they teach in the class.
Awareness of buddy and technique is what I really got out of it. Seeing Jake blackout in the static breath hold was an eye opener. It can and will happen -
