  • Big European wood speargun.. made by?

    I know the term well, I just didn't think this was another scuba vs free debate. The freaking guy reminded me of Cousteau, he can't remind me of him? In Europe you see this often with both Free and scuba. What does breath hold or anything else have to do with anything. And by the way, your brother's been lucky to not have come up after a dive way behind the boat in a good current.

  • Reel on a float

    Cut a float in half length wise. Now you have 2 pieces with one side(exposed foam core"FLAT") and other side is the factory finish(Convex). Attach the 2 factory finish sides together leaving the foam core sides to the exteriors. You would have the shape you're looking for. Round off the edges(foam core sides) and that's it. You could also cut some of the factory finished side off as to not have such a recess when glued together, and to also have a larger/flatter area to glue/attach together.

  • Reel on a float

    Hey Dan,
    why not cut one of those foam Torpedo in half length wise and then glue/stick the out sides together. This would create the shape you're looking for, and give you an easy good starting point. You can round the edges a little for look and you can then cover it in that Rhino stuff you love.

  • Bleeding fish to improve quality

    I agree with this all. Some fish need to be bled(cut gills/throat), while others not so much. We've done the cut throat and leave in the water thing(tuna) but I didn't see much of a difference
    Also, gutting and gilling, is a must. Ice is the next thing in line. The more the better especially in the cavity. If possible, the blood line that goes down the length of the spine should be cut out ASAP(fillet). Any blood inside the body that comes in contact with the flesh darkens it and spoils it quickly. It "will" change the taste..

  • Children and breath hold

    I would love to have the same opportunity to take my son out with me, but I can't even take myself out right now.
    Anthony,
    si le gusta, adelante entonces. Cuando pasen los anos tendran tremendas memorias, y muchos videos/fotos:D

  • Children and breath hold

    I found my son when he was 5 holding his breath underwater in the tub. I freaked, thought he had drowned. He's 10 now and still does it. Pretty good breath hold.
    Dan,
    my son hates snowboarding, the snow, and the cold. He loves the ocean and everything that has to do with it. My daughter is like mom, hates the ocean, loves the snow and mountains. We all have things we do well and love.
    Seaweed,
    I don't remember ever "learning" to swim. I remember not being able to swim on top of water and going under to get there faster. I do remember almost drowning once at " El Farito" Cape Florida but that's it. I also never became afraid of water. I was able to swim pretty far underwater at a very early age.

  • Cobia!!!!! 2-27-09

    You should ice immediately also the "Blood line down the center of the fillet should be cut out as soon as you fillet. The lack of blood is what keeps the flesh tasting the best.

  • Dog brothers

    philipinos have been beating each other up Ala Dog brothers with no protection for a very long time. Also, the dog brothers owe the stick twirling old man in the videos for all of their past time. That guy is still one tough cookie. By the way, he's now a Black belt in BJJ.

  • Dog brothers

    All I can say is, you gotta see some of their earlier stuff.
    I trained Kali(Escrima) with alot of the guys that came from Dan Inosanto's camp(JKD) Paul VunaK was my instructor for a while. You have to try it at least once. The welts and knots all over your body is crazy. Glad to see they're using protection now...:D:D
