Nice stringer Andy. I haven't ever fished or speared down in your area. I need to get down there.

Your good enough now to start shooting them in the head. Quit shooting holes in the fillets!!

Spearfishing is a challenge and will hone your skills and patience both.   :smt001

New Zealand yellowtail ;

I shot it in 1983 off the Three Kings Islands far out to sea off the top of the country.
It was the biggest yellowtail I have ever seen....and became just part of the catch on the grouper boat I was working on.

nice fish, any idea what it weighed? Did you have a reel/floatline or did you shortline it?

Back then we didn't have the float lines.
 We just horsed em in and took our chances.
 I had a Prodanovich gun which was very hard to get and valueable so that fact alone ment I would never let go.
I found that no fish could pull me for long and not wear himself out.[ no, never went for bluefin tuna!]
If it ever came to it...I would jettison my weight belt and really fight em floating but it never did. A full 7mm wetsuit on me w/out weights is really hard to submerge for long.
That thing really was big and must've weight 65+ lbs.

Well nice fish, I'd love a shot at a forked tail of that magnitude. Still have that Prodanovich? I've got one that I don't use, just a wall hanger.

You’re so fishy BigJim!

Pic #4 shows one of your secrets, lay fish on wetsuit for increased camouflage and scent infusion.

Thanks for the pics!

After spearfsihing in norcal for several months and not seeing any lings, I finally got two nice keepers around 30 inches on the same day.

Post by: ezra on January 23, 2023, 08:18:15 PM
On my next dive a few weeks later up north, I was lucky enough to spear two more keeper lings around 30 inches!
Side note, I'm looking for a used banks board. How many fishing pictures do I need to share in order to be allowed to post in the classifieds? Tia!
