Thanks everyone.

Doh, I didn't know you were supposed to go through the eyes (no joke)! See you learn something new everyday. I only know what I learned at that seminar a couple of months back, guess I missed the part about how to string it As for the drive by, the lil guy was up in a cave like area. He wasn't planning on coming quietly and I certainly wasn't going to give up. So after a long struggle/stand-off and just a tad of thrashing about I won After I dragged him out of the cave, I had to take him over to the sand because the spear line was tangled. I ended up grabbing lil sis' surgical shears and cutting the line out of him

Mind you my first shot ever with a gun was the best - that is when I got the 22lb black grouper. I think I need to recommend that class to more people.

I'm definitely hooked on spearing though. :14:

That's a good shot too.

No way are you bringing a spear gun in a cave with me!

I can see it now.....you standing in the picnic area at Ginnie, one hand in my eyes and the other grabbing the back end of my wetsuit telling everyone how you shot this North Carolina Snapper back by Hill 400 all the while hollering, underwater of course, "Go easy! Don't make it any harder that it has to be!"and what a PITA it was to drag him back through the lips ( you cave divers know what I'm talking about).

Tracey, you wouldn't want to shot him anyway, really old meat gets a gamey taste to it and it's tuff as leather.

OMGosh that is too funny.

So Dave your saying EAN is chewy? Hrmmmm, I'll take a pass then. Especially if you have been there already :burnout:

Sheesh.......I'm not old. gamey or tough.

I prefer "seasoned"

and I don't consider myself as table fare but more of a trophy. Like something you would hang on a wall.

Okay seasoned it is then. Would that be like beef jerky :huh:

 

[eandiver]

More like venison....wild but still jerky.
