Luckiest Catch of my life!!

Here's a video clip of me shooting a 56lb GT inside a cave with a 90 cm Hammerhead Speargun and coming out unscathed and with all my gear in one piece!! By far the luckiest day I will probably ever have. I still use this gun to this day lol!

Thank you Kraken! Yes moments like these give me so much to be grateful for and it's a very humbling experience. That fish fed a lot of people! None went to waste which is the best feeling.

Re: Luckiest Catch of my life!!

Thanks BBD808, P-Dub and Kwtony! Yeah that was a nutz dive session. I had to calm myself down of adrenaline before making the drop. My partners thought I was crazy crawling into the hole like that, they thought I missed or hit something else. I just wish I filmed it from my perspective.

Perfect conditions, perfect shot, perfect fish, perfect day! You will remember that fish for a lifetime! Nothing like good friends to share the excitement with. Doesn't get any better than that.

Re: Luckiest Catch of my life!!

Thanks for the positive comments spearos! Just grateful to be able to go out and enjoy the wildlife. Haha the shaft looks like an acupuncture needle when comparing it to the sheer size of that fish.
