Great fish and great video of the experience. I feel like such a meow compared to you. I won't put my hands in the water if I have a paper cut, while you leave a plume of blood in your wake nearly every trip. Thanks for sharing!

That was just great shooting man. I could barely see the fish when you fired of your spear and you got that striper where it counted. You the mann!  :smt001
