He didnt go down 30ft! Why? Because Wahoo are surface fish. All he had to do is jump off the go under 3ft and shoot his spear! And thats challenging?! Haha! Thats a lazy fisherman!

Killing a hogfish, the best eating fish around, for a bunch of stupid fish to eat is a waste of life in my books…

Don’t think spear guns would see less lost fish just a lot more killed fish since it takes away allot of the challenge. Also lost fish aren’t really a waste, they will get eaten by something. It’s the circle of life!

I agree. It would be awesome to have spear guns. But would only want to see them used outside of the eef in blue water for pelagics

Haha you are a joke, hunting on pole spear is the ultimate challenge!

You’re right, lots of fish are wasted in the way you describe, but of course that means nothing to those who are afraid “gang members” will abandon their semi -automatic, multiple round, hand guns in favor of seven foot long, one shot, deep water spear guns (so much easier to conceal). So this will probably never happen as long as our nannies don’t think it’s safe.

Let me see you free dive to 30 feet then hunt and fight a powerful animal in its habitat on one breath of air. I doubt you could even get close enough to a bream to spear it let alone a top predator like a wahoo.

I think we should be allowed spear guns and Hawaiian slings as well. Having a fat hoggy slip off your pole spear injured to swim off and die is a waste of life. But we are always treated like children here and it makes me sick. Times are changing but the rule of thumb seems to be FUN=illegal in Bermuda.

How is that a cheat?

Go try “cheating” for yourself and get back to us. Dangling a baited hook on heavy test line while sitting in the boat is closer to cheating. Like using a long range rifle to “hunt” game.

Impressive catch! Especially on a pole spear, why can’t these pro’s get a permit to use spear guns in the deep sea for wahoo, big amberjacks and tuna etc.?
