Re: Big Bulls

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately for me, I didn't start diving until after I left LA. I did get to at least fish the rigs once though.

Re: Big Bulls

Beautiful fish. The bloodied spot in the crest, is that a hole from the spear? Was that the holding shot?

Re: Big Bulls

Both Bulls were shot mid body behind the gill plate. When we got the fish it the boat they were still green and I think my buddies were tryin to stab them out in the front part of the head, which is not the spot to settle down a dolphin. The bull in the secound pic was stoned until he hit the deck of the boat. The cow was shot alittle low in the mid body. I'll post a pic of the entire catch after while, it was a good trip.

Re: Big Bulls

Amazing!!!! You really have something special there and based on that catch I would rather spear there than any of these tropical isands.
That is just insane!!!
