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=43001A 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

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

Glad to see Miami still has its share of fish still wating to be hunted. Shot a trio of mutton snapper to 20" a few hogs in the high teens and a godzilla mango, a hair under 24"...some sashimi mac's rounded the bunch.
