Awaken your primal instincts

[Richard Parkinson @SeaHuntExtreme]

When shooting wahoo in extremely clear waters, is best to aim at the second half of the body where the flesh is tough and the shot will hold. Shooting at the head or front half of the fish often leads to a belly shot.

Reminiscing about the old days spearfishing in the Caribbean. Cubera snappers were by far the most challenging fish to hunt: not only smart & wary enough to test your breath-hold capacity, but so tough they pushed your gear to the limit #freediving #spearfishing #snapper #cubera

Video of the doggie from the previous post. I missed the kill switch but the massive 10mm @alemanniteam shaft caused considerable damage. The doggie still put up a decent fight but it was over after a few minutes.

Once you get your 1 bluefin tuna quota for the day, all you can do next is jump in with the remaining bait and enjoy the show.

Not the best shot but these maori snappers were so skittish I had to take the only opportunity I got after several dives. Such a good eating fish…
