This is my first post so I'll introdue myself. Its only fitting that today was my best spearfishing catch ever. It's probably my 5th time spearfishing- I used my graphite hawaiian sling. just speared about 5 nice sized fish today all in about 20 minutes. I went to a place on the Puna side near where I live that doesn't get fised much and got the biggest unicorn fish I've seen and some triggers plus a nice sized squirrel fish. I've been wanting to get the bigger fish- but just don't seem to have the range and power. I don't like the big parrot fish getting away from me whenever I shoot them nad would like to even go after some alua and other big ones- so I ordered the sling from hawaiiansling.net. We'll see . . .
I'm from Northern California originally, grew up ski racing, and came out to Hawaii about 13 years ago and fell in love. I have 6 acres of land and 100's of exotic fruit trees. We live totally off the grid and I run my F-250 Truck and Mercedes 240D on a veggie oil/gas blend with 10% gas.
I took my sweetie out with me today and she put the nail through the mouth and out the gills and the fish were srung out to the floater water bottle. Now that I'm catching big I think I need a knife to stab them in the head so they dont swim all around on the line- or an icepick.
I also am interested in learning how to freedive deeper. I can swim about 50 feet down now and hold my breath for about 2 minutes. Thanks for all the good words here and I'm glad to join this community.
