I know people seem to have held back from turning this thread into a slaughter board, but I wanted to show you guys what a good day in West Palm Beach, FL can be like. I'm the short guy all the way on the right. The guy all the way on the left is Andrew Geist (13th place individual in the World Championships in Tahiti last year). Notice the cut tail on his 33 lb king mackeral. It was the biggest he had ever shot and he was quite upset when a big 'cuda grabbed hold of it. That's my boat in the background, and Anderson if you don't make it all the way to the Keys when you're here, there's always room on it for you. Or for anybody else on this Forum who would like to shoot some fish in WPB.

no. 2 pencils
aquiles and i call the smaller cero mackerel #2 pencils because they're so hard to land. they're flesh is xtremely soft, so if you don't hit them dead solid, you'll lose them. kinda like trying to shoot at a #2 pencil on the other hand, some actually come in so close that they practically impale themselves on your spear. you just have to stay still.

mutton snapper
my favorite fish to eat and hunt! these guys are not easy. they cruise on the outsides of the reef and can haul some booty when you're about to pull that trigger. they have the best reflexes of all the fish we hunt. they are definitely the tastiest, though. aquiles' family cooks them whole after stuffing the stomach/ribcage w/ lobster and seasonings.

Breeet!...Foul!
Lobster stuffed fish is going too far. Penalty for food pornography is cooking dinner for us when we end up diving the same waters (I will do the dishes). 4pm here and all I have eaten today is one &#^*!%@ donut. Now I am going to have to quit work and go home to check the rigging on my speargun-uuuhh I mean uuuuh cook dinner.
Thanks for the great photos and the great mindcandy, makes the work bearable (or fishable).

ps, your thoughts about making a speargun that looks like a walking staff for fw fishing places like....CO or CA?

how about an amateur diving bum?
All these fantastic photos... can't wait to go check out some spearguns. I think I'll have to give spearing a try this summer. It's only rough fish around here that are legal to take I believe, but as I'm looking over the spearguns maybe the dealer can enlighten me on the rules and regs. Neat thread.

Ok guys, time for some safety....I have noticed in some of the pictures posted that there are snorkels in mouths underwater. This is a big no-no. I realise that it's comfortable, holds the snorkel in place, etc, and that most of us were taught that way (ie: OW Scuba Course), but it's a big problem if you black out. The snorkel makes a clear route for water to enter your throat, whereas if your mouth is closed without a snorkel then the likelihood of water getting past your throat is greatly lessened.
After your breathe-up, spit your snorkel out with your tongue and leave it out. If you finish your breathe-up on your back, then leave the snorkel out: don't put it back in when you're at the bottom .
I'm generally not a preacher, but this is safety stuff so forgive me, but feel free to argue.
Respectfully,
