THE OMD FOM/FOY COMPETITION JUNE 2012





This year the OMD FOM trophy will be a beautifully shaped wooden ray [as shown below], with the name of the winner engraved. These are hand-made by our very own spearo MIRROR [send him some rep!], with the kind help of venturesports/spearfishingstore.co.uk.




This years Fish of the MONTH competitions are generously sponsored by Apnea Jersey Spearfishing shop [A £25 voucher is offered to the winner each month!!!].




And this years Fish of the YEAR competition is sponsored by venturesports/spearfishingstore.co.uk with a prize of a site voucher/credit for a fantastic £175.




Furthermore, for those who are really keen, we will run a fun speccie hunt competition [no prizes for this one]; just enter the fom as usual, and your fish will be entered into the speccie hunt comp at the end of the year, more details below...





In this thread, please only post your entries for the FOM competition.

My biggest bass so far this year 8lb 6oz. Ok, so maybe not as big as Crazywinds 9lb 3oz bass, or Spearolees ray, or as special as Spearo Nobby’s fantastic Gilthead but……………………………. I was on over 6 minutes breath hold, in 50 meters, in nil vis , in a raging swell, when this bass came cruising in amongst a shoal of blue fin tuna! Lol! Just had to send the pick in any way.
