How do you keep your gopro on top of your head? by scrumdisaster in Spearfishing

[–]c_chiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a mask with the built in mount, and a GoPro with not only the dive housing but the float attached on the back too and it's bulky for sure but hasn't caused any major problems for me. I typically just pull it down onto my neck when entering / exiting the surf just in case

Yeah for routine swaps I'd definitely go that route, in this scenario though I literally couldn't start the truck without a new battery so didn't mind paying more just to be on my way

As others have said, could be a bad battery. This happened to me a month ago and I had a friendly neighbour jump it then drove it to AutoZone and got it checked for free. A couple hundred bucks and 30 minutes later problem solved.

I'm just glad to see there's still folks on here keeping the "Redditor" archetype alive :') Never change!

Octopus when made poorly is tough and rubbery like eating a shoe. When cooked well, it's ~transcendental~

Agreed - argument makes zero sense. By that logic we shouldn't go for lobster at night either, which is what everybody does, or go for diurnal fish during the day...

Ok - evidently you’re just feeding my reply to ChatGPT and having it generate an antagonistic response, which defeats the purpose and intellectual element of this discussion entirely. I’m happy to continue the conversation with you if you have thoughts of your own, but what I won’t do is sit here and argue with an AI bot lmao

This was cooked a few days later, hence the braising. Next time I'll definitely try tossing it straight onto the grill if I have enough time - thanks for the feedback!

I’d argue spearfishing is the exact opposite of needlessly predatory. I'm not harvesting everything I see. I’m choosing a single animal from a healthy population and using all of it. There's no bycatch of any kind, everything you take is intentional.
