Awsome, I'm gonna pass this on to all my Hell Diver buddies. I think they should open Jewfish even if it were for one year.

One day I'd like to meet you Mr. Ray Odor.

It was a great pleasure getting to meet Ray and hear about his exploits over the years. Guys like him paved the way and lived to tell about it! I'd be happy to make it to 57 much less be diving for 57 years!

Ray is an awesome person, truly my favorite spearfishing elder. He's at all the Tampa area spearfishing tournaments. Before I met him, when I had to pick up some shafts from him, he said, "I'm a pretty easy person to find. I'm the one wearing the 'Ray Odor Diving service shirt', and I'll be surrounded by all the beautiful women..."

That was awesome! It is hard to believe how primitive their equipment was back then and how well they made it work for them. They must have been some tough S.O.B.'s.

I love that video, and seeing you talk to Ray. Ray is always a crowd favorite, and one of my favorite people to run in to. Always a gentleman, and he and his lovely wife are wonderful people. Thanks Ben and Ray!

Re: Ray Odor 1953 footage and interview

That is a great piece of spearfishing history. Meeting Ray last year at the Southern Open, and speaking with him again this year, are highlights of my trips down. I hope to meet with him many more times in the future.

Here's to Ray He be da Man.

Also lets not forget the master mind of "The Great Keys Lobster Caper". ( Mob Boss )
