New guy checking in

[BattleAxe]

Greetings fellow shooters. Seems like a site to my liking and I figured I'd start with a family photo...

Current armory:

Springfield NM M1A
DPMS LRT-SASS
Colt Comp HBAR
Sig P220
Glock 27
Ruger LCP
Mossberg Defender
and a few other handy beasts in mothballs

I'm an auto guy so will likely spend most of my time in this section.

Thanks. That thing once took me for one wild freakin' ride attached to a 50lb Amberjack

Welcome to the Hide. And yeah, never spear anything which can outswim you. Especially sans your own O2 supply.

Er, can you say "shot placement". Kidding, well slightly. As I know that killing fish ain't quite so easy as those creatures that walk as their primary means of getting around. At least when they're in the water. Once you get'em on the boat, barring large sharks, it's quick & easy to finish the job without any fuss, or mess to clean up. And they damn sure make for good eating, my favorite fare.

I buddy of mine shot a 40-45lb amber jack once . He ended up having to hold on to the tower to keep from being taken to the bottom ! By the time he got it into the boat the spear shaft was bent in two places . Them Jack are one tough fish !

AJ's are pound for pound about as tough of a fish that swims.

Re: New guy checking in

I've only ever speared one underwater but have caught several on rod/reel...almost always a 20-30 minute fight. Unfortunately they carry ciguaterra and you can only eat the shoulder meat.
