my first big fish
I shot my first big fish 3 weeks ago. He was at 98 feet at the ewing banks 42 miles south of grand isle. i have been diving for 8 years, but this is my first year spearing. i shot the fish on scuba and he wound up weighing 35 pounds. to say the least, i was stoked. this was my 4th time spearing, and my first big fish. cant wait to get back and take another ride!

i shot the next at 122 feet and he came in at 33 pounds. i gave him to a non spearfishing friend on the boat. until now, i had only shot trigger fish. what a difference! to say the least, i am hooked on spearing. big c.

patmygreen, you are more right than you know. there is no going back. what i mean is, we were supposed to go out this weekend, the river is going down,(better water, more clear), the charter is booked, tanks filled , ready to go for 07/24!
BUT, I got a cold last weekend and my sinuses still aren't clear. i just cancelled my spot. the forecast is great, and i am going to miss out. my friends suggested medicine, but i am unwilling to take a chance. so for right now, i am not going back  . maybe next weekend.

 WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF SPEARFISHING, AND TO CONGRADULATE YOU ON YOUR CATCH.IF YOUR WIFE WASNT CRAZZY ABOUT THE DIVING, SHE WILL FREAK OUT ABOUT THE NEW ADDICTION YOU HAVE NOW! MINE DID! SHE SAYS IF I SPENT AS MUCH TIME WITH HER AS I DO DIVEING AND SPEAR FISHING, IT WOULD BE A HUNNY MOON 24-7. GLAD I GOT A TRIP PLANED FOR SATURDAY! I JUST WISH I COULD MORE THAN I DO. I HAVE GIVEN UP ALL FORMS OF HUNTING SINCE I STARTED SPEARRING. IT'S THE ONLY HOBBY I HAVE NOW. MY OLDEST SON IS GOING TO GET HIS CERT. SOON. DON'T NEED TO SAY HOW THE BETTER HALF FEELS BOUT THAT. MORE FISH TO CLEAN ON THE WEEK ENDS!
