Hi Jim , thanks for sharing your thoughts .
I would hesitate calling fish of 15/20 lbs. big ; if it was kilo's , yeah , barely ...

.
I would never use cable , prefer dyneema .
I guess I am what you call a purist as I carry nothing but my gun and prefer to spear alone . My safety is not something I worry overmuch about although I will not take unnecesary risks .
The ocean is big enough for different approaches .
