big dog snapper pic

[SLAYER]

i would like to know how big dogs get this is the biggest one i have ever speared and was wondering if anyone has ever seen one beigger than this....it guted at 19 lbs.

[keyspearfisher]

Nice dog! Think the record is over 24 on hook and line, but I believe they can get bigger than 30lbs. Where did you shoot him, how deep, etc....?

[SLAYER]

40 ft marqueses

freedive slayer,
I would also like to know how you like your Rob Allen?? I was thinking about getting one. Is that one band strong enough? Obveously you got that big of fish on it but do you have good range with one band? How big is the Rob Allen 120cm??

Thanks

BlueTeam:D

[SLAYER]

rob allens are by far the best and straightest shootin gun i have ever shot commercial or not...the band is plenty strong i have shot dolphin and wahoo in the blue water groupers snapers in shallow.... my brother has shot a sailfish also...all of my freinds that have shot them have never gone back to there old guns and never will..for instance fishhunta on the board used to swear by riffe and he now shoots a rob allen and loves them..florida freedivers is the place and they just move to palm beach. i will get the number and give it to you..keep lookin for the number,it will be up tomarrow.. the one band is just as strong as any two band gun out there thats all shoot is one band...heres is the pic of the wahoos i shot there not big but there still wahoo.

That was 30 lbs a couple years ago on our Bahamas trip.

Freedive Slayer.........try to size your pictures down to about 8" wide.

And dont get lippy. Some of your comments are not really as cute as you think they are. :mad:

[richhermes]

OK PEOPLE, Can we limit the size of the pictures you post to about 800x600 pixels?

These pics are way too huge!

[BlueTeam]

Thanks Freedive slayer,
How long is you gun?? How thick and long is that one band? Nice pics by the way! I like them. What kind of range do you think you get out of it??

Thanks for all your replys

i personally think that if you cant joke around a little bit and give a little shit to each other than you should be a spearfisherman ..its all fun and games so try not to take anything i say seriously sorry if i afended you

[SLAYER]

i shoot a 120 with a 20mm band and that is plenty

[fernandezh]

I speared a 22 lb. gutted red snapper this weekend. I'll post it as soon as the film is developed. I shot and lost one that looked at least 40 lbs this weekend.

I got a dogtooth snapper that weighed 40 pounds during a spearfishing tournament a number of years ago.We all thought it was a cubera, but the biologist at the weigh in said it was a dog.
Thats a nice snapper you got there.

[RichT]

Forget to say in my last post but we got him in 80 feet of water off of Sarasota on a wreck.
I had seen him there the week before during scouting.

:eek: That's my stomping grounds. Was that a publicly known wreck? I've never seen any other snapper besides Mangos in that deep of water. Have you?

[SLAYER]

the number for rob allen is 561-848-0678 i hope you get one there only 200 dollars and shafts are only 20 dollars

[mushkee]

thanks..freedive slayer...didnt know shafts at that cheap...the reel is 119...whoop-i-doo

[RichT]

Its a private wreck.
Its usually only got big mangos.
The biggest Ive gotten there was 8.5 pounds.
Never seen any other type snapper there.

Smartass. :D I do have to gum it like a pacifier and have noticed that bubbles occasionally escape from my upper lip where that didn't happen before. As you recall the Dentist gave me temporary partials to wear for the past 2 weeks. Tomorrow I go in to get bridge work done. Which is good, because I lost my partials Saturday on the boat when I was puking over the side. It was rough in the morning and everybody on the boat was tossing their cookies overboard. Even the guys with dramadine and patches were puking. It was so bad that 2 guys just refused to go into the water out of fear of choking on their vomit in their regulators. My dentist thinks this whole thing is awesome and she suggested putting this work into some military dental journal. I'll take some before and after pictures tomorrow. I am kind of apprehensive about getting my teeth fixed because I have become a hot commodity here in Georgia among the local women. I have to get my priorities straight.:D

Hey did anybody notice that freedive slayer looks like he fingered a smurf? Are those some kind of matching gloves for the wet suit?

[mhuskey]

Capt Rich - that wreck would not happen to be an old dragline by chance?

[SLAYER]

is that all you got .alot of people must have fingered smirfs before cause aloy of people i know wear those gloves..what do you got against me to start sayin stuff....o well now its on

[conspearasea]

Those blue (smurf) gloves are the best thing that ever hapened to spearfishing. Get off of your high horse and buy a pair. A little hint for ya HOME DEPOT $5

[junior]

At least them there gloves ain't brown:D

I gotta a pair. Blue ones that is. Gloves that is.

As for my high horse, why not come climb up here and knock me off it? Just make sure you pack a lunch!

I was FK'ing around with the kid who cannot spell and was asking a legitimate question at the same time.

I guess you and your buddy forgot his post where he wished to engage in some juvenile P.E. Pete banter with the older varsity boys who have already dropped their nuts!

[SLAYER]

dont try to tell my buddy you were asking a simple question you know that came out in a bad way just like you wanted it to.and as for the spelling i dont need to know how to spell as long as im still shooting fish better than you

[junior]

Slip, you just love that photo don't ya:D Hopefully, it ain't the background on your desktop:D

[slipknot]

No, this is my desktop

[ucfreceiver]

Freedive Slayer you shot that snapper in the Marquesas? Tell me its as good as I think it will be cause I'm going back there for a week in May. I've been twice but visibility both times was about 10'-15' at best. Limited out in snapper but thats it cause we couldn't see anything else. Hopefully we will have better clarity to find some good spots. Its hard to find spots when the water is a nice opaque green color. Anyways...that snapper was definitely nice.

[junior]

Why ain't I surprised coming from the Official Pimp of the Lockeroom:D

[slipknot]

How bout' that blondie on the top shelf with the strap up pumps, I think that might be the new Mrs. Slipknot???? Maybe if I slip her a "roofie" I can get up in somma that.:D :p

[SLAYER]

it should be getting good there right now .best of all the groupers should be movin in as we speak.i do all freediving when i go. gotta go talk later

[ucfreceiver]

Hey Freedive Slayer! Do you think the west end of the Marquesas by the wrecks, the patches just off the Islands, or the outside reef is the best...or maybe they are all good. So many places to try not sure where is best to start. Unfortunately I'm limited by my friend who can't seem to go deeper than 20'.

[SLAYER]

go to the outside stuff . you can still find stuff that is still shallow out there and if he cant dive that deep tell him to start training..if you really want to be able to hunt 30-35 foot. this pic is from there also.

[SLAYER]

could someone please tell me how to size down your pictures

[ucfreceiver]

Well...if you scan the pic just scan it smaller and if its dig cam adj the settings. I had to scan my pics real small cause they blew up once posted. As for the Marquesas we will be limited by weather cause we have a 16' boat. We will be there from next sat thru wed the 14th. Probably do some spearing on the outer reef and a lot around the wrecks off the west end as well as in the river on the eastern island. We won't go in the harbor ever again. We speared there once then went back later to fish. We caught so many sharks it was ridiculous. Hammerheads, lemons, nurse, and bull. My friend fought what had to be a 10 ft bull shark for over 30 min before it cut the line.

[fernandezh]

First of all, let me know what kind of program you are working with, and I'll give you step by step instructions.

[conspearasea]
