Sounds like I should have gone where Putmeincoach was today.
He did WAY better than me :toast2:

Forecast of 5-7f seas was a lie.
Where I entered and exited there was almost no surf.
I only saw 2 shootable fish and had to quit early for a class.
Just wish I could have stayed longer and put more than 2 fish in the yak
Got a new toy I'm testing out. MM -

Rhodyhunter--thanks bro
Below is a killer deal. This model Hobie retails for over 2K each. I still have my first one. It will cruse all day at 5.2mph with my heart rate at 100bpm in static conditions. My SP does 4.7mph, same day, same heart rate. -
Thank you for the kind words brothers
I called a couple of my old mentors and they both agreed that if I recompressed that most of the symptoms should go away. I was a a little worried as I drug my yak across the beach with 4 stops to catch my breath. It was a very shallow breath up the first drop, but that stupid hog made me forget the pain and every drop after that got easier and less painful. Before I knew it, I had been in the water 6 hours :imok: -
LunkerBuster-
1. The ocean respects nothing
2. When you get old like me it takes longer to heal. I'm getting better each day. Getting in the water today was a MAJOR step compared to the last to days of coughing up blood. Thanks bro -

water temp 75F
air 72F 30% clouds overhead ---76F almost rainingToday started out good an got worse by the hour.
I had a little lung problem 2 days ago so today was a shallow/easy day.
I paddled out to some numbers I had, dropped anchor and went over the side, loaded my ETPG and swam maybe 5min and saw a nice 19in hog. I put him in the yak then swam for an hour before seeing another shootable fish. Later I noticed the wind and seas changing and the viz dropped to less than 25f. I swam back to the yak and noticed a storm cell building right on top of me
With about a mile to go the wind shifted to 18mph from the west which made for a much harder paddle in to the beach. -

Today even had less race boats than yesterday. It can be exciting to be 1 - 2 miles off shore with a yak and watch one of those race boats get closer and closer
I saw a school of 8-10 hogs today. I thought I was hallucating until my spear hit the biggest one I strung him and then couldn't find the school again. I ended the day with 4 hogs and the biggest one was 21inches.
Quitting time came WAY to early today. I could have stayed in the water till dark shootin fish -
mrmike---I'm very glad to see someone else post sir. I was starting to get lonely. AND, your pictures are great also. Keep them coming. Maybe your pictures will take the heat off me.
Nice fish and post sir. Congratulations -

Met up with two younger spearos and we went out to the second reef, but there were very few fish today.
I lucked out an got 1 19inch hog, 1 mutton an one porgy -
fishingdude---WOW bro.
You are slayin those stupid gulf fish :attack3: :fishswim:
You are gonna get spoiled over there if you are not careful
Congrats on some very nice freedive fish sir :toast2: -
greekdiver--IF, IF I could freedive to 100f I might see some nice fish like in your great videos
marco--yea, my picture posting sucks.

Another yak spearo talked to me before I shoved off through the 4f beach surf. After he saw how much of a beating I took getting out through the surf, he just got in his van and drove off 
But getting out proved to be the hardest part. I just went to the first reef as the seas were 4-5f even that close to shore. As soon as I slid over the side the viz was ok and there was almost no current and the world around me seemed to become more calm. I swam for hours without seeing a shootable fish (thanks Putmeincoach :poke: :)), but I ended with 1 hog and 1 porgy.
Next came the yak beach landing in 4-5f surf.:@
Another spearo was not lucky and lost gear when his yak rolled.
I lucked out and picked a big wave far out and yak surfed it all the way in to the sand.
"Scupper Pro gives u wings" :surfing: -
Dan-- I have some iphone pictures of todays hog and will post them ASAP. I sent pictures to sdeisen and Scott.
I am very lucky equalizing as I hardly ever even think about equalizing. I just head down and start swallowing. I cannot remember using my hands to equalize. Also, almost all my dives are 65fsw or less -

Paddled to the first reef and spent an hour or two there. Then it quit raining and the wind and the seas layed a little so I started swimming East
I was out in the middle of nowhere between the 2nd and 3rd, looked down an saw a bigger fish on the bottom followed by some bottom feeders. I watched and waited trying to figure out what the bigger fish was as he was directly below me in 45fsw. Finally I realized it was a big hog :@, so I took a short breath-up, had my yak anchor in my left hand and my ETPG gun in my right hand and down I started. With the anchor in my hand I was going faster and faster straight for the bottom This hog must have never seen a spearo, cause when I was about 8f away he slowly rolled on his side to look at me dropping at a high rate of speed. I could not believe it as my spear hit him just behind the gill an pinned him to the bottom
He measured 22in and was as fat as a Thanksgiving turkey -
Oh yea, I have been needing one of these for years.
I have to drill a new hole in every new shaft I buy for my "hau extra band pin" and this tool is gonna make that job SO much easier.
I'll take one "Speardiver spear shaft drill jig" please and I'll pick it up ASAP. Thank you Dan for another great product. :toast2: -
Kyle you must have never seen the bushes there or the powerlines that go through them. Easily 50,000 banana spiders. It gives me chills thinking about it:@
Ya Mon---too bad it is not like the old days. Just pick up the horn an call in an air strike of either agent orange or napalm to "clear the vegetation". <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Dan--No, the vandalism does not seem directed towards spearos because many, many non spearos vehicles are broken into. But this is just my opinion based on all the vehicles I have seen that were vandalized over the years.
sdeisen--If you remember, Dino's truck was the bait that netted the last pair of asswipes. Caught with a rock in her hand hitting Dino's window. Scott begged the LEO's to release the perps to "the public" for just 10 minutes :angry5: :angry1: :religion:
Alan--LOL
I haven't noticed any animosity between freedivers and scuba divers at Meade St OR Dania Pier. -
spearos--here is a copy of what happened yesterday to Putmeincoach and his dive buddy at Meade St.
"Meade St. today, in the water at 9am out at 2pm. Today was the day that I always knew would eventualy catch up with me, when I walked to my car after getting out, the window was broken. The door was still locked, and when I opened it, the glass fell everywhere...obviously the door hadn't been opened yet, leading me to think that the intention was to breakt he window not to steal, which is pretty pathetic. My dive buddy who had parked right next to me also had a broken passenger side window. He even has a sign in the window that says no valuables left in the car. It's just ridiculous."
The above is example of what happens almost every day at Meade St. and Dania Pier. Sad thing is that Putmeincoach's buddy had already had his truck broken into at Dania Pier.:angry5:
