NICE ONE HAWK !!!!!!!!!!

I heard WSB is damn difficult to approach........Congrats.
I don't have this species in my water......:waterwork

Keep the photos coming.......:p :p
 
Iya, since you asked...

I had barely entered the water and was in about 10' of depth when this fish approached me without a care in the world. It was a very calm, glassy, empty afternoon in the kelpbed. Fortunatley I had already loaded my weapon in waist deep water just in case, and my finger was on the trigger, ready to go. My shot stoned this fish, I put my hand in its gill, and criused back to shore. I am very thankful to have had the opportunity recently to see these fish, and to feed my family.

Later,
Adam

Just a quick post folks.

We now have a full Gallery where you can post these pictures! Head over to http://gallery.deeperblue.net to see it in action. We have a Fish and a Spearfishing section for all your spearo's out there, and you can use your Forum login as well so no "re-registering".

Cheers!
 
Not sure if this is a dead thread or not. Move to the gallery if needed, although I kinda like the free-form nature of this current thread. Im hoping to see some other contributions soon, but until then...This is a 43# seabass shot friday evening. My shot was well placed, and the fish really didnt fight too much, although Im pretty sure it bit my calf while I was trying to subdue it.

Nice WSB

Very nice fish - compared to the last picture you posted.

Where are you spearing these fish? I live in northeastern USA and I never heard of a white sea bass untill last year when I started reading this forum.

I have striped bass here that get up to about 40-50 lbs (sometimes larger) but my biggest is only about 30 lbs.

How big do those fish get and what type of depth do you have to go to spear them?:confused:
 
RIphish- I believe the record size for these fish is 83lbs. They are mostly caught around kelpy areas in southern california and northern Mex, although I am sure people see them elsewhere. That fish was shot on a choppy day with poor vis in about 15 feet of water.

Come on Sven, stop lying! We have all seen the video about what your diving is really like:naughty
Just ask Jay!
 
yeah, it's straight out of the magazines here...

Hell, my goal is to find a place thats only choppy and has 15 feet of vis!:t
