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??

 

[yunuschiro]

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.

 

[podge]

That’s great, and at almost 27 meters is some dive.
Well done again sir.

 

[yunuschiro]

thank you Podge.

 

[foxfish]

Very impressive catch indeed, I hope you eat it with your friend.

 

[yunuschiro]

thank you foxfish. we gathered the whole family for moms birthday and enjoyed the fish with good company.

 

[tesselata]

Nice fish, Nice size buddy. Congrats.
I think i knew it from Medfish......

 

[yunuschiro]

thanks tesselata. i withdrew my subscription from medfish, just so you know since you recognize it. where do you guys go diving in germany?

 

[tesselata]

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.

[yunuschiro]

[tesselata]

[FletchHR]

Impressive, very impressive! Congrats! We share the joy with you, man.
Near 3mins at 27m - whoa, you are a machine! :t

 

[yunuschiro]

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.

 

[yunuschiro]

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.
