No disrespect but was the second shot necessary? Cool vid.

None taken. There were a lot of bold sea lions around and it was a low shot. It made sense to get the fish under control quickly, instead of another unwanted ride on captain furbag's oceana odessy.

Good job, nice fish!
Is the unmanned speargun on the float line loaded? If so, that is a little scary. Both with you heading up the float line and later when your dive buddy is down finishing him off. I'd be concerned with an accidental discharge. Just my two.

Yep, looked pretty scary to me as well. if you pause you can see the bands cocked when he's going back down the line.

Awesome video, really impressive shot! Loaded gun is kind of sketchy, in my rookie opinion.
