    So I just started watching the video. And you said something that I remember being taught by my father. You use a different word. you said the whys and why nots. With me it was the what if's. My father told me you can't change what happened you can only learn from it. Accept what happened and move on. So there is no why nots or what if's. It took me a little while to implement his lesson There are no short cuts. When you finally accept it life gets a little easier. Or you can use master oogway's. The past is history. The future is a mystery. but today is a gift and that's why we call it the present. I have a lot less sleepless nights now. I do love what you do. You are my favorite UA-cam spear fisherman. You put out consistent videos on a regular basis and I can live it vicariously by watching them.

    One thing notice in your safety protocol is that you load your speargun in the water, and assume you unband them before boat entry.
    Years past did a lot of spear fishing off the coast of California and the outer Islands. Had a blast… but it was stressed on all the dive boats, 18-25 divers, if you brought back a loaded speargun it immediately thrown overboard. Period no conversation no excuses

He specifically said he likes the way you spare harvesting certain species to promote healthy ecosystems, as you just did on the Cuberra.. keep up the great work and example of a standard all fishermen should strive to hold… I thought you might enjoy knowing people around the world are respecting your ethics… see you on the next one , sincerely Juan F.

    After watching some of these fish rock themselves and having been a follower for a couple of years now, why not carry a mini scuba tank?

    When I was a kid bow hunting with a re curve the whitetails were/are known
    to "Jump String ". Kinda' like those fish..........
    It's good to see Kelly ! I quit watching the other guy the '2nd' time he pushed
    Luke into his buddy's reptile cage........

    Hello Aaron Young, I also like the narrating. I also think it would be more interesting to see some sort of timer clock for each or some of your dives and to know how deep you are.
