Given time I will explain why Michigan qualifies as a Third-world country.
But not right now.
Right now I will just say that we have more water than practically anyone and that it is incredibly clear.
In this photo, taken two days ago, we see my friend Josh being mocked by fat, lazy, lake trout which, seeing we had no spearguns, lay around on the bottom rolling their eyes at us.
Poor Josh was nearly inconsolable; his mask half-filled with tears...

only a certain italian would put a gabbianno line release on a C4! I say hand them out Spago and buy some new ones, only keep the ones that either hold sentimental value or fit in the "they dont make them like that anymore" category...

With all of that water (and incredibly clear) methinks Josh will need at least one my 100's.......
What a cool image, I dove Lake Taupo in NZ years ago with a cameraAnd I would be more than happy to possibly lend him one of yours, which I am sure have special powers-Italiano.
But there is also this:
only and had a blast.The old fly fisherman in my soul would never let me think gun. I could be happy to watch them all day. Thanks for sharing mate.

Looks like with patience and skill you only need to plan your approach carefully and grab the fish by the tail with your hand! :inlove
They were extremely edgy - but if you carefully approached from their 6 o'clock you could actually grab their tails. Truth be told, Lake Trout are not particularly good eating. In fact I know people who prefer carp - though I've yet to try it.
Don - I think it's actually harder to stalk fish with a camera. I know the fish here are more bothered by a camera than a gun. I've got a lot of good shots on my site - stop by if you get the chance. www.michiganfreediving.com

I've taught scuba classes out in Lake Michigan before when they were coming in to spawn- and then die. You could grab a 20+ pounder as it swam by and just hand it to a student to let them pet it. Nothing gets a new diver stoked more than petting big fish like a its a puppy. rofl
Other times I've watched them circle a huge school of alewives and then come zooming in and take a mouthful. You'd think you were diving in an ocean, but it was all in the lake. Some of those schools can get 30' high and go on forever.
Meanwhile, back in the inland lakes everything looks like a wasteland.

Hey Jon,
Some of the Trout did look a little rough - but most were in fine shape and really edgy. It was hard to get within 20 feet of them unless we were directly astern.
It's been awhile since I've been in one of those 'bait balls' out in the big lake - they are aweseome - I remember once they formed a sphere around me and blotted out the sun! This is a Walleye with a roof of alewives.

you could try getting a bit handy and making some of your own muzzles and rubbers to save a couple of Euros and get a few of them going a bit cheaper, would probably be better if you didn't let so many get out of action at Once.
saying this of my own guns one I gave a way 2 more loaned out another I lost a shaft for and one just working but trigger is a bit sus ?

Poacher you might be right that making my own guns would fix my "problem". But hey, I'm not a carpenter and there's NO woodworker that I know who has still all the ten fingers he was born with....
I cut my bands from bulk rubber, and have modified some closed muzzles to open muzzles by myself only using a steak knife from the kitchen and a sheet of sandpaper (miracle I didn't loose a limb). And anyway, my DIY skills end with that.
