You know you're a spearo when...

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
When you go to a public swimming pool and start pulling the trigger at big and healthy humans until your buddy shakes you out of your third hallucination of the day.

I'm not a spearo, but I had the strange experience of lying on the bottom of the pool in Vancouver that's 137m long, watching all the people swim back and forth and feeling like they were a school of giant slow moving fish. I was really, really weird.

When u practice everyday in the pool and u hold your breath in the bathtub just to dive an inch deeper to reach that deep cave with those big groupers.

That just dangerous. If you want to be a living breathing spearo don't do it.
 
You approach snorkellers on the beach as the leave the sea and ask what they saw in a manner to suggest that you know nothing about snorkelling or fish before running to get your speargun for that "big grey fish - no idea what it was mate" that has just been described to you

So right Mishu!
...or names like Pino, Pippo, Salame, Cignale, Jacopo, Mario, Simone and Truciolo (and I've recently sold Mimmo and Tiziano, both carbon excaliburs).

When you feel real bad and want to cry for days because that big fish you coudn't shoot because you were loading the gun.

When you feel real bad and want to cry for days because that big fish got loose after a bad shoot.

Unfortunately not.... she spears as well.

She shot her first conger last weekend, I was soo proud!


Nice one how big was it?
You ought to watch out she doesn’t get to much of a liking for shooting conger’s or it may be metal pants time.:) :)
 
It was pretty small, a couple/three pound maybe. I think it tought her a lesson though by tangling up her string and wrapping itself around her gun and arms.

Cant blame her for going ubndersize though, I have been telling her 2 inches is actually 6 inches for ages.
 
when you watch the movie Finding Nemo in your wetsuit.

when the security guard at the aquarium askes you what you plan to do with those fins.

when you find yourself laying on the floor in the back of the local pet shop staring at the salt water fish
