I red in the latest issue of Int. Free diving & spear. News, the full report of WR Pacific BF tuna landed off the coast of Greymouth, N.Z. and watched the vid.
This short taken on the North Atlantic Coast shows a school hunting in a trawler herring net ( thread on Nov 06 showed gbf Tuna hunting a school in the open sea): http://www.spearfishingmotion.com/videos.html?current_page=4&lang=en
In my opinion the conditions were identical, except the fact that in N.Z. there were less fish in the school ( that's makes the things probably more confortable, because the pressure++ by the school on the diver is less strong).
There is not any reg. in N.Z. about this spearfishing capture and after some discussion with contacts in N.Z., I heard that a reg will probably come soon on the place.
This WR is a great "exploit" (achievement), but problematic. It is not a fish swimming alone or in a little group caught by chance, but probably a hunt well organized in a tuna school, close to fishing boats.
What's about relationships between spearos and prof. fishermen?
Tuna fishing/spearing could be an interesting illustration...
In Canada/USA prof. tuna fishing is avery old and close circle. May be because it needs to do big/risky investment, to have a great experience in the sea and in the fish, to be physically fit all the time during an one /two month season, to accept the unpredictable tuna behaviour, to deal with the international market and strong reg... that,s could make the fishermen lobbie irritable and absolutely indifferent (or opposing) to spearo request.
SF Permit=lost cause?
Imagine how should react this circle side by side with spearos in the middle of trawlers and fishing boats?
