Very nice going Ryan!
Kyle, how come you haven't pole speared a 35 pounder by now?

I'm shocked the WR is only 20 pounds

Gay thing called work lmao
Nah diving with a polespear is retarded difficult, you essentially have the range of a 60cm gun with the maneuverability of a Bluewater gun. It is so goddam hard, Ryan put in the time for that fish, not a whole lot of people are putting in time like that to make it happen. When you're out with the pole, unless you are just a god like gene higa was, you just have to accept that you are goig to see all kinds of large fish you would love to take even with a gun and you just won't get close enough.
Ryno went to turtle bay with his poles last year, even rigged up a 14fter and put in some time, he just couldn't make it happen that trip.
I have a trip in a few weeks and the water temps are screaming YT where I'm going. I'm bringing poles and if the fish are around I'm going to either score big or just watch all the fish swim by for 3 days out of range laughing at me while giving me the finger.

Some of the fish in my avatar were close to 40 pounds, and they were so dumb I could practically touch some. I might have been able to pull it of.

Re: New World Record Yellowtail with a Polespear - Official Video

Congrats ryan - impressive accomplishment. You gatku guys are crazy.


It blows my mind how half the people posting on this thread are saying how easy it is to shoot yellows with a pole spear. Some people should try it before belittling other people's accomplishments.

Knowing how fishy Ryan is, my guess is that he will break that record half way through next summer.... maybe even on his pink Scupper Pro.
