    Spearfishing

    Well since I moved to the Tampa area I haven't enjoyed my #1 hobby as much as when I was in South Florida. Someone on the board asked me to throw a few pics up so here you go. I'll try to post more later when i get home from work.

    This is a 36# Kingfish I shot down at 52 feet off of Ft. Lauderdale, my record King is 48#. The gun is a Wong/ Aimrite closed track.

    That makes my lion fish that I shot off the coast of Akumal, MX look pathetic. Oh well, it made for fresh fish tacos...all 2 of them.

    You should come up to Minnesota. You don't even have to get wet. Although you'll need a dark shack and an ice chisel.

    Did someone say "Fish Pic"? here is a 65# White Sea Bass I nailed in 45' of water off Avils Beach Ca in 1992, and yes that is my thumb sticking out of his gills under fish's chin(no photoshop).

    That was me asking and I must say both you and big Larry. Very impressive!!! Biggest
    thing I ever shot was maybe 40 inch stripe bass. And if I was 50ft under I had a tank on. Yeah I was a whimp.
