 Went AB diving right before fisk mill with Grandfather and got my first AB after going a few times with nothing. Vis was crazy good at about 15ft and swell was awesome. Got my limit in about 15-20ft of water. Bent my bar almost in half trying to pry one off. Lots abs in this secret location. Had to climb down cliff to access. Spent about 2 hours in water and went in  causing started getting cold. All in all was a great day and will def be something I get into more.No sickness this time  :smt001. wish I was spearfishing though. Saw a lot of good Blacks and pretty big Cab.

 Look how flat it was!

Congrats.  I almost yelled out underwater when I popped my first one.  Heart rate nearly doubled too.  Soon it will be more than just the limit, i.e. trophy hunting.

Welcome to the club!

The first time I pulled one I had never seen it done in person, and had no idea what I was doing. The ab tightened down and some rock came off when I finally pryed the ab loose! The videos make it see easier to pop them off than it is!
