Dave, make it to some of the sc spearfishing club meetings. Lots of guys there with boats looking for riders. Check the message boards on CD.com too. Last weekend someone couldn't fill his boat for a spear trip.

Thanks guys for all the kind words! I’m sure that Les and Rob have done as well or better several times themselves, but their efforts to show me a good time made this my best day. You guys better be careful or I might try to piggyback one of the many invitations that you've already got floating out there. You may have to get unlisted phone numbers.
Larrod and Eyyeball: I enjoyed fishing and hunting with you. I forgot how much fun it was to troll ballyhoo. It was great to be back in the pit. It’s especially fun to work the cockpit with such a well oiled crew. Please express the same to Taylor. It was a pleasure to work in an environment that everyone automatically gravitated towards what needed to be done next. I have fished many boats, and can tell you that it is rare. I only wish that the yellowfins had shown up! Glad to see you here Larry. As I told you on the boat, this is a great place to learn a lot very quickly. I hope that Les gets you shooting before too long. Greyface: I knew that you were coming down here last weekend. I hope that your trip went well. I hope that we can hunt together again soon before too long. Screen: Thank you for the Riffe MT 3 enclosed track that I won in the Southern Open last year. It is my favorite gun ever . . . although I still haven’t really given the Wongs a fair chance. Nevertheless, Sheri was kind enough to send me up to South Carolina with 4 Wongs so that I could show the boys what they were missing. I’m still having so much fun with my Riffe that I must admit that I haven’t yet given the Wongs a true audition. Kevin: You certainly have very dedicated customers! These South Carolina guys love their SS guns! Although I shoot a Riffe,I still espouse your style of shooting. I hope that someday that I can attend one of your seminars and learn more. Spearoo, Marcus and Biggsy: Can’t wait to finally meet you guys on the JR2 on our upcoming trips. Freediveslayer: Someday, Brian maybe I’ll be good enough to shoot on your boat. Till then I’ll keep plugging away. Seriously though, thanks for the praise; I know that you aren’t easily impressed! Scott: Thank you for Spearboard. Without it, I would have never met these guys and many others that I talk and hunt with regularly. It has truly changed my life. Still waiting for that picture of the week. . . Please forgive me for posting one more picture of my 23 pound hog. I know that I sometimes have trouble differentiating the size of fish in pictures depending on how far that they were held out towards the camera. For those of you that dive with Cressi Gara HP 2000s, I think that this picture does the fish justice. Look at the meat along the back of this fish. It was a pig! Enough said.

Hogs don't even come within 115 miles of our coast. LONG run. Big nasty seas. Stay away. Go to Texas and spear the rigs. Much more variety.
PS. Thanks to Sheri for letting me check out the wong's. I'm thinking of a reel gun for targetign some of the pelagics. Very nice equipment.

After all this smack talk I think we have assured ourselves an ass kicking. The pic on the front was of the smaller male.

Thanks Kite. Someday you will see the light! Its more about your state of mind, than the gun itself! Hope to see you at a seminar some day.
