Reactions: podge
lovely looking fish, well done.:)
So how deep was it?
holed up in out in the open?
how did you cook it?:friday
Give us the whole story??
 
hey Podge. it was one of those rare times of the aegean when the plankton level is low and the visibility reaches 15-20 meters. i was located in the south east corner of what is know as the bozca ada in turkish, in the ancient greek leukophrys and in modern greek tenedos. its a turkish island situated south of the dardanelles strait. i started my dive. after about descending 5 meters into the dive i saw the grouper just hanging out on the bottom swimming along easily. i decided to descend very slow and guide myself behind it. when i reached bottom the depth gage was reading 26.8 meters. the whole dive took 2' 45'' minutes. i took a shot just under its lateral fin. i took the shot with a wooden gun made by my friend Esperasub Ah?ap Z?pk?n ve Serbest Dal?? Merkezi - Ah?ap Z?pk?n ve Serbest Dal?? Malzemeleri Online Sat?? Ma?azas? / ?ZM?R. the fish took the spear and took off and attempted to go under a rock. i ascended and got another gun. i went down for the second shot to make the kill to find that the fish had almost expired with its head barely inside the rock. i didnt have to take a second shot. i just took the fish and swam up to the boat. my buddy in the pic was assisting me the whole time by observing and safe guarding me.
i am not much of a story teller but i hope this is fine.
 
That’s great, and at almost 27 meters is some dive.
Well done again sir.:)
 
Very impressive catch indeed, I hope you eat it with your friend.
 
thank you foxfish. we gathered the whole family for moms birthday and enjoyed the fish with good company.
 
thanks tesselata. i withdrew my subscription from medfish, just so you know since you recognize it. where do you guys go diving in germany?
 
Mostly in small lakes or the Baltic sea.
But no hunting at all. Hunting only on hollidays
Beeing a spearo in germany is ,eehh, not so easy.
Mentioning" I´m a spearo" brings nearly the same reactions las " I´m going to the nudist resort to watch little girls"

Within germany there is a movement of divers not willing to buy anything from companies selling spearguns or Camo neopren....
strange world.

wow. thats rough world. understandable though but still very rough. if you ever visit as south as turkey drop me line.
 
Impressive, very impressive! Congrats! We share the joy with you, man.
Near 3mins at 27m - whoa, you are a machine! :t
 
hey settingsteel,
miami cool place to be. i used to live there when i lived in the states. i used to be a member of the longfins. Great dives there. i miss it. İ am very much looking forward to the day when i pay a visit back to what once was my home for 26 years.
 
thanks fletch. it sure was a good hunt. we enjoyed it with the family. i have dove in your waters in croatia. i have seen a lot of nice dives there.
 
Tebrikler Mustafa. Bu buyuklukte bir orfoz akdenizde hic gormedim. Onu kolay cikarabildigine sevindim.
 
you're right Podge. We shouldnt have communicated in any language other than english in an international site.

it's all good stuff though. :)
