Could just be seasickness which I have gotten, but never to the extent of nausea. Try taking a non drowsy motion sickness pill before diving and see if that helps. Could just be the subtle rocking that did you in.

Just giving this a bump. Has this progressed any further? I'd totally be game to participate if its still on. I will be going down to Baja in another few months, depending on how well I do tomorrow through the 3rd down there, I'll decide if I want to try my hand at filming again at all..

A goal of mine is to break Daniel's cabrilla record by .5lbs, just like he did to me
But here are a few:
Yellowtail over 50#
WSB over 80#
Calico over 10#
Sandbass over 8#
Halibut over 30#
Bug over 8#
Abalone over 10"
Lingcod over 20#
Gulf Grouper over 123# (to break my Dad's)
Cabrilla over 25#
Pargo over 70#
Burrito Grunt over 10# (WR) -
Never been much of an issue here in CA. The fish will tangle in kelp on its initial run so its not much of a chance of the fish coming back.

Mako just came out with a pretty nice horizontal reel that fits on railguns. $90 spooled with line $55 empty.
Edit- Just saw you don't want to drill holes.. That will be tough to get a good bond. Maybe epoxy and some some self tapping screws. That way you aren't drilling the holes..

I can grip the line or the bottom of the reel and use my palm as a friction surface if it gets bad. I wear 3mm gloves with a kelvar palm, so no burns there. Most the time if I'm using a reel, I'm going for WSB or reef fish that I let take as much as they want. I run breakaway setups in Mex for yellowtail and other pelagics/groupers.

Same set up I use. I run 3/4 wrap of cable to a pigtail that is attached to my 3mm reel line on a vertical reel. The main benefit for me is that if there is a kink or knot in your shooting line, the gun won't be yanked out of your hand as the knot tries to pass through the guide. I use my hand as my line guide and drag.
This method utilizes the K.I.S.S method to the fullest.

Congratulations man! I hope we have 1/100th of your luck here in CA...:(

Can the west systems graphite pigment be added and if so how dark can it turn out? I want to get a pitch black finish.
