Miles, my appologies, I guess I was fooled by your picture.
4 people having 38 fish are different from 1 person having that.
You mentioned no partners or numbers of them (I think) so I jumped into the wrong assumption. Just seemd to me that if such a thing is on legal limit (38 per person) it should'nt be there. Even if sustainable, it just portrais a picture of shooting for numbers and records and not considering if there's a real need for all those fish.
Shooting for numbers ("kill as many as you can") is what I meant as "sport". Ofcourse we both have different point of views on the defenitions of sports, but we both enjoy the same thing in spearfishing just put it under different defenitions, putting food in my stomach is not the only reason. I'll just refer to it is hunting then. Though "the taxman wanting his share" is defenitly not on my attractions list. But it never happen to me, so how would I know?
I don't think I was overly aggressive/demanding in my posts, I just wanted to raise the questions since the picture seemed wrong at first.
Unlike what lucky Pablo was thinking, It didn't seem wrong as in shooting fish in a berrel using scuba since 10kg fish are so common here. rofl
I promise you we see more 10cm fish than 10kg fish. 10kg will leave any Israeli spearo diving in the Med quite content.
Regarding your neighbour Miles, it could be that she was just hinting she wanted to learn spearfishing.
Which could be good, since that might convince your g/f to take her place as the student.
I consider a freediving g/f as an asset while some might consider it as killing the benefit out of freediving.
You have a lot of options how to play this.
