I wasn't too worried though because I knew the sharks were after the AJ and not me but it was pretty cool to see nonetheless.

Spearchucker, oh mighty champion of steelslingers, and sovereign dominator of all marine species that dare show themselves before you....congrats. By the way, you know that hogfish trophy you already had picked out a space for on the mantelpiece Saturday night? It looks beautiful hanging in my office .

Believe it, I was that drunk. I paid for it the next day.

It was great to finally meet Bucket, headhunter, bottomdweller, fizition, Jaizzen. You guys rock. One question: who was buying all those pitchers after we had paid out? Was it the waitress? 20 pitchers or so total...Thanks for the drinks, all!

Oh, and yes it's true, Spearchucker does have a pumpkin head.

Congratulations John!

That was quite a thing - one man in two ties (for top diver and top hogfish). I wonder if that has ever happened before? If you could choose between winning one or the other - I'm sure that you got the one that you wanted.

Dean Philips also deserves a lot of credit for doing so well in such shallow water. I wish that both of you guys could have won.

Re: All Hail Spearchucker, the 2005 State Champion Spearfisherman!!!

Congratulations, Spearchucker! To think, I did my first Spearfishing dive ever with none other than the current State Champion. He taught me many things on that first trip. First, he taught me how %$#& impatient he is. He taught me that Ford is the only truck to drive, and Florida is the only college that matters. Later, he would teach me the "twenty foot rule," which a couple months later turned into the "forty foot rule."

But most importantly, he taught me that contrary to what they tell you in PADI, it is perfectly safe to dive all day, and then drink 12 beers on the ride home.

Ah, yes...Such a breadth of knowledge he harbors in that Xtra large cranium of his.

Oh yes I am proud of my fins and just can't seem to let them go. . .

OH MY HECTOR THATS HOTT *LOL*
