The $$$ Fish

GOOOOOOOD riddance 2009 has come to an end! Aside from some great spearfishing not much else can be said for 2009.....now 2010 seems like its gonna be a winner!!!!!!!

Quite a few fellow spearo's have been trying to get a hold of me for sometime....good news is yes I'm still kickin (my fins), bad news is not as much in the water as on land. I'll hopefully be spearfishing a bit more now that I've added a few more employees to my team... I'll have a few Miami spearfishing reports soon, as well as a few evaluations on new spearfishing gear as well as a few new carbon spearguns, ooops I mean Miami-made carbon spearguns. I hope to provide my readers with up-to-date news on Spearfishing Florida and surrounding waters, as well as the latest spearfishing rules and regulations. OK that being said....

How would you like to shoot yourself a $177k fish? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34711137/ns/business-world_business?GT1=43001
A 500# Bluefin tuna was caught off of Japans northern coast, auctioned off for a startling $177,000....imaging how many of my custom carbon fiber spearguns you can by with that! Quite a few articles have popped up on the www. regarding Bluefin Tuna and the crazy $$$ a fish like that fetches, food for thought in this depressing economy. Imagine running into a school of bluefin like this http://www.savethebluefin.com/profiles/blogs/aerial-video-of-big-bluefin on your next bluewater spearfishing expedition.

What a majestic fish, although it fetches a big chunk of ka-ching bluefin tuna are not exactly targeted be bluewater spearfisherman, in general as much as its close brother the yellowfin tuna. The spearfishing gear necessary to spear a fish like this is not only specialized, but downright tough as these fish can put up 2-3 hours worth of blood, sweat and tears http://vimeo.com/2311555. Speaking of which looks like the bluefin is on a decline- thanks to commercial overfishing http://www.bigmarinefish.com/bluefin.html.

Speaking of Bluewater spearfishing I'll soon post some quick tips and pointers on gear an methods for bluewater hunting, look for them soon.



Till next spearfishing report, tight bands, straight shafts, and smooooooooth triggers!
