My SeaCraft, Spearfishing, Big Grouper Video
 
Got time this weekend to post up some footage from a wreck dive I made right after the Long Point Gathering monsoon.....

Good footage off my Tsunami in the end when my wife came to pic up the fish and load me up.

That she is my friend.... That she is. I am very blessed to have such a salty wife that can back a trailers in with only the mirrors and keep track of her divers in 5 foot seas or 5 knot currents.

Nice Gags!!

Right after the second shot, about 4:08, a big something showed up. What was that?

That was one of them Goliath grouper. Funny, there were three of them on the wreck and still all those gags buzzing around not getting eaten by them. I even left my dead one on the bottom and they didn't give them a second look. Quite a few spearfishermen think they are eating all the grouper. I have never bought into that theory and have proved it not to be true numerous times.

At 3:50 a big cubarra slid into the wreck and gave me a perfect head shot. I don't think much of them for eating so he got a pass and I took the gag.

At one point in time we had 5 cats. 3 were Petey, Spanky, and Darla.

Mr. Moose,
How do you like the woodies compared to say a Rob Allen? I need to quit buying toys
or buy a bigger house.

Never had Cuberra, is it nasty? Heard they can`t resist a slipper bug. I`d rather eat the bug.

Cheers,
Monsoon Moose

RAs are great pipe guns but there is nothing like a well balanced custom teak gun.

You could probably make any fish taste good but I'd eat a bay catfish before I'd eat a cubarra,

Here here....

Part of the Ghetto Snapper family..:eek:

Drum, Sheephead, Cubbera... yuk!
Just like a Bluefish (even fresh caught):p

With all the good fish swimming in Florida... :)
Why would anyone eat trash!

cdavisdb 05-14-2014 05:00 PM

Now hold on a minute. Back in my much younger days, we used to shot little bluefish off Alabama, a pound or two. Darn good eating as long as they were fresh. Kinda like mullet though, oily and go bad fast.

Yikes.

I`m a big fan of young across my sight line. Get your baby cow here.
Veal, it`s yummmy.

I`m thinking the wood guns have more of a neutral balance?

Silly me,
Thanks

kmoose 05-15-2014 07:35 AM

Better balance, less recoil, quite, durable... The list goes on. I have used every style of gun out there and they all kill fish, but a well made wood gun is a joy to shoot. Think Browning Citori....

Conner, I am good with bluefish myself, especially smoked. Rather thick bloodline in the center and skin but if trimmed properly and fresh it is a great choice.

cdavisdb 05-15-2014 04:33 PM

Everything Moose said. If you are tank diving, there is nothing better, especially if you have the kind of wonderful custom trigger mechs that he does.

I can make a good case for a lighter, more streamlined gun if you are freediving. The difference is drag and inertia is considerable and begins to wear on you after a long day. I shoot a sling, the ultimate in light weight and low drag. Can't even imagine dragging a wood gun around for 5 or 6 hours. Still, lots of very good freediving spearos use wood guns

Snapper it's what's for dinner. Sorry old photo circa late 80's. Check out the cigar sinker rig and missing lobster.

Browning makes spearguns??? Fraid to look at the price.

Some tank but mostly Hookah I hope. I just love hookah diving.
