Modified my Lion Tamer

[1KWIK_69]

I just purchased a new Lion Tamer a couple weeks ago. I found that it was about 4 inches too long to fit in my checked bag. After looking at pics on the official web site it appears that a lot of them displayed are a little shorter than how they sell them. I wonder if that's a safety/liability thing to keep us at a slightly greater distance to avoid stings? I cut 4" from the tip and re-sharpened it. I also took the slack out of the strings to the rubber band to compansate for the slightly shorter spear. I tested it on an apple and I'm still at what I consider a safe distance, it works great, and it'll now fit in my suit case.

Anyone else run into this issue?

Assuming you were successful in killing the apple, did you feed it to a grouper?

Nope. I enjoyed it myself with a little peanut butter.

I wonder if Grouper would like their apples that way? I suppose even fish could us a little fiber every now and then.

Groupers like EVERYTHING!

...or will at least try it once

WHOA! I have to say the fish I see are getting PLENTY of fiber......
