Say No to Sensitive Trigger Mechs!!!!!!

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Smacked it in the tail with the Tahiti. Nearly lost it as well. Managed to grab it just as the shaft ripped out if the flesh.

They swim very erratically changing directions all the time. Three hours it took me catch one fish.

They are the smallest of the Tuna species. The one I caught was around 3 kilos. They were all about 3 kilos in the school. They grow to about 6 kilos max in this part of the world.

I know that for safety purposes the trigger should be kept away from the trigger. Thanks for reminding me.

Remember I only put my finger on the trigger once I am lying on the bottom awating the fish. When swimming I hold the gun in the middle choking the bands. This serves 2 purposes. It stope the bands vibrating and scaring the fish and if the gun missfires at least the power will be reduced. I would still mess my suit though!!!

Again I repeat that If your finger was not on the trigger you would have absolutely no chance with these fish.
 
Shaneshac,

I did not intend to pick on you, I just saw the need to make a point.

Cheers, Guy
 
we have bullet tuna in our waters, but your little tuna is really nice looking
 
There was a big school of sardines and the tuna where in a feeding frenzy. It was a bit like "The Blue Planet" documentary.

Awesome and I would have preferred to have a video camera than a gun. (Maybe not hmmmmmm!)
 
yesterday I found my ultimate documentary tool in a very old (from the year 1982) drawer. I'll be the new documentary master

All you need to do is connect the camera to the trigger mech so it takes a pic right beforwe you shoot.

These are the ultimate pictures (like the ones recorded in your brain of your best catches)
