    What are the odds of losing a shaft and finding a shaft on the same dive..., pretty cool. Glad the next diver got both the fish and spear back too.
    Man, I was yelling at my screen when you let a couple of those snaggle toothed snappers go by at first, but you went back and got em anyway. I was in Hog Heaven either way watching this one.

    • @danmacmahon3973
      @danmacmahon3973  4 роки тому +4

      JMC, yes, the next diver up, retrieved the fish and shaft. As far as Sharks, If I took up Spear Fishing, I'd try and go to areas where it's less likely to see them. I'd always dive with a competent buddy and build my confidence up gradually when seeing them.
      They're def a part of Salt Water Spear Fishing . With a competent Buddy and liberal use of good common sense, you should be fine.

      Zach, my brother in law does the wood work, we like either teak or mahogany. It's a 4 strip laminated design, 3 across and one on the bottom. I only use Neptonics reverse triggers and Rob Allen spears. The butts and handles are divers choice. The muzzle is a design that Kevin Bruington (Ocean Rhino Spearguns) designed years ago and is just a killer piece. He doesn't make them anymore (I wish he would). The other pieces are home shop made. I'm really considering in collaborating with a well know gun maker to produce a few of these guns. Trying to make it happen. Thanks for your interest. Best, Dan

      Brady, no worries. Commercial spear fishing for gags makes up a tiny percentage of the Gag quota. We do target the AR's, but I prefer to catch them on a Rod and Reel . On slower dives, I will of course spear them if they're around. Thanks for watching and for your comment. Best, Dan

    My Dad gave me my first speargun when I was 10 Yrs. Thru my spearfishing life I thought that 45 to 60 Ft while snorkeling was a decent deph. To late learned that aphnea free diving could take me down to 100 Ft to spear. World record is more tha 300 Ft fin propeled dive. Almost 70 a bit late to improve free diving skills. Scuba my next goal. Fish beware. Almost a lifetime of diving fun

    Man, I don't know how you keep track of where you are, where your fish are, etc. I get turned around constantly on the bottom, especially in dirty water. You must have a good sense of direction.

      Bob, it's funny, I can remember tiny details from dives from 10 years ago, but can't remember what I had for lunch 3 days ago. I dunno, I guess my mind just locks in to the details needed to get me back where I came from. Appreciate your comments, Best, Dan
