Outstanding video and fanatic Fish ! Bravo!
Question on guns and rigging
It appeared that you were using a mid handled American configuration wood guns aka addict as they were originally called now often refereed to as mid handled or advanced trigger guns. those in the video appeared to be similar or possibly American made guns called Riffes after the manufacture Jay Riffe.
It also appeared your guns were rigged with trail lines and floats similar to the rigging developed and currently used in SoCal.
Would you elaborate on your guns and rigging ?
Thanks again for sharing

Thank,s for your friendly feedback!
we have been using Riffe guns.. shafts connected to a 4 to 5 buoys RA or Riffe style.
lost about half of tuna taken by sharks: on the vid an about 200lbs... shot at about 80ft depth
the dilemma with dt tuna:
-if bungee to short you cannot follow by swimming against the current the fish. But it prevents the tuna to take off in the deep reef
-if bungee too long the shot tuna take off to the deep reef and get tangled there to be lost (including the shaft)

Virigi,
Your welcomed and informative reply certainly shouts "The Joys of Spear Fishing !"
I never dove for "Dog Fish Tuna" (DFT) and at my age never will, but what fun and what a challenge!
Please post pictures or videos of your future adventures they are welcomed and appreciated
