i will definitely say that i have yet to even encounter a white sea bass half that size yet. I am certainly no expert, nor am I even very experienced, but I find nothing wrong with learning everything I can..... and I don't give anyone a hard time about it either. i'm certain that if I ever went diving with you or any of your cohorts I'd be in awe of your knowledge of the ocean. But i feel that ability and technique can apply anywhere. And no, I don't make it a habit of diving down to 65 feet, or absurd breath holds, but I want to have the ability to do so, namely because I want to film other spearos in action. My apologies about the whole billy-boy thing. Respect is key here, and that was outta line. Again my bad. I just started this post in hopes of understanding what all the Italian techniques were. It seems that I'm getting flack for wanting to understand them better. I hope soon enough i am rewarded with a sight of sea bass of that caliber. You are surely a knowledgable spearo with years of experience. I believe i will stick to topics that have to do with the immediate surroundings of my dives and this area. That way I will have a better understanding of the techniques that are applicable for the Channel Islands. Sorry for the rude comment.
