I have to agree with all the other comments.........great thread and great pics and story!!!!!
Walk the talk.
Thanks boys! I'm amazed how much this board has grown over the years... I barely recognize any of you. That's awsome!
6k - Right on! Were you on scuba or freediving? Any pics of that monster? As you know on HBC it is only bullsh!t without pics...
Jonz - awesome pics!! I was used to the Caribbean, but the u/w colours are amazing on the coast here. I've never seen an octopus before - how deep? Was that a night dive w/ your buddy w/ lights in the background of the middle pic?
Spearfishing is a blast and is relatively inexpensive to get into... It IS underwater hunting and the eats are GOOD! I'll dig up the rest of the pics today.

Here are a few from my underwater adventures.
Nice ling cod
When ya gotta go...
A few from Australia this past winter...
I wouldnt mind getting into spear fishing, I have some of my dads old gear. Nothing like a fresh tasty ling cod and fresh crab for dinner, although those little buggers are fast. The ling cod just sit there and you can sneak up and tickle their belly.
Walk the talk.
The next morning the sky opened wide and it was a perfect day! The spearos took the tourist route around the islands for me & anchored in an awesome cove.
There were 900 lb (fish stealin') sea lions barking in the distance & fish right under the boat. The amount of life underwater amazed me... The cove held incredible underwater structure... a steep wall of rock full of little caves covered with kelp and weeds with a channel out to the open ocean in the middle and a gentle slope down into 60+ on the point. 40 feet is the deepest that I've shot a fish holding my breath, so far...
Cont'd...

Great thread! Awesome pictures, for Free diving!
I enjoyed spear fishing there was something natural about it.
Is it legal in Canada, to spear fish with scuba?I know its not legal in many other countries.
Thanks for a great thread.
