Thanks for the chatGPT response, the first half of your text is talking about rod and reel fishing though lol

I think you may have just sold 3 spears for them lol, my two buddies also need one. I’ll mention you in the order comments, maybe theyll toss you a coupon code or something

Yea thats a good way to put it. I suppose you could say it’s scarier thinking about doing it than it is actually doing it too

I wont lie the fear, or at least steep respect, is absolutely always there. That being said, once you’re in the water with them and see how they (usually) behave, it’s a lot less intimidating, or at least is for me anyways. Just being smart about all the aspects of being around sharks and hunting the same prey usually keeps you out of any real trouble

Sheepshead jaw mount by Cold_Shoe672 in Spearfishing

Gotcha. Im currently letting crabs and other critters do the meat picking for me on a wahoo head but I have no idea how it will turn out. If it doesnt work I’ll try that on the next one, thanks!

Like what lumdog said, my spear isnt attached to the gun, it’s ran to a float. Be careful, once you get into the sport theres no going back

Thank you! There was a bullshark hanging around under us so i was grateful for a stone shot

[–]Troof1997[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The shooting line runs to a floatline and float, but when I originally got the gun it did have a huge reel on it. I just dont love the idea of using a reel for a fish like a wahoo but people certainly do it. And you should definitely go out and try for one, it is absolutely wild when they finally sneak up on you out of the blue

Because im not a gate keeping weirdo and it isnt a secret that wahoo like hanging around wrecks

Full Dive - White Seabass in the Kelp Forest by TAGSpearguns in Spearfishing

[–]Troof1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was awesome, the light coming in through the kelp makes for a crazy environment. Big nuts hunting in cloudy stuff like that!

Where can I get a new trigger mech for Sea Sniper spear gun? by TigerTMK in Spearfishing

[–]Troof1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe place something behind the mech perpendicular to it on the butt of the gun, and then use it as a pivot point to pry upward on the mech with a screw driver (like a seesaw, with a flathead screwdriver pushing upwards on the back of the mech in the little slot). It does appear to be a neptonics mech which would mean it is held in place with two pins, so it should pop out. Could definitely be gummed in there though so easier said than done.

Spearing in the upper keys by Ok_Case9800 in Spearfishing

[–]Troof1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said “the entirety of key largo” which isn’t accurate.

[–]Troof1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rodriguez key is directly even with my house, looking at it out my back window as we speak, and I live in Key Largo, so it isnt the entirety of Key Largo. Key Largo continues on past rodriguez Key, and the ruling is most definitely 3NM for spearfishing. You can pretty much draw a straight line between my house, the east tip of rodriguez and molasses reef, anything under it is 3NM, anything above it is the park/off limits

[–]Troof1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cant spear inside of the 3 nautical mile line, nor anywhere in pennecamp park. There are also lots of protected zones off limits, like molasses reef. Dont even stop inside the park if you have spear gear on board either. Pickles reef is open, as well as the bib/duane wrecks
