People that make general comments about what a "spearfisher" will and won't do in all situations, have not had enough moronic situations to enlighten them.
First you admonish generalizations, then you make sweeping generalizations! Not every spearfisher is as perfect as you; the dude with the knife in the shark at the beginning of this thread is only one example!
There are lots of morons with spears who probably thought this was a cool 2 hr video. And just because a perfect spearfisher can be responsible and ecological does not mean they always are.
There are only less than a handful of shark species that show interest in spearfishing, yet you state categorically that you hate sharks and seem to say they are all dangerous. I guess being perfect might require blinders.
You say you should have speared sharks a number of times, yet neither you or your buddy have ever been bitten. Sounds to me like you have never really had to shoot a shark; thanks for doing just that!
Ummm......
"There are lots of morons with spears who probably thought this was a cool 2 hr video"
painting a nice picture there Halemono.... you can believe whatever you want, even if it is based solely on your opinion to make that statement.
"You say you should have speared sharks a number of times"
- he SPECIFICALLY says that he has never speared a shark in 35yrs (something like that) worth of diving. you can believe whatever you want, even if it completely contradicts what that poster said.
It would appear that there are some who are following this post like yourself who aren't very open minded. Except for the guys in the water that day, NOONE knows for sure what happened - that includes me, and it also includes you. Some people have engaged in this post asking good questions 'what is a spearos take on this', 'why wouldn't you drop you catch', etc.
I think it was scubasteve001 (sorry if i am wrong on that) that asked about dropping your catch. I doubt that he and I share the same opinion. Yet I don't need to blast him, misquote him, or state my opinion like it is fact.
If your opinion is as set as it appears to be, why post what you did or even read any of this? Keep it on track, contribute, ask a question, or just read this post.
