nice vid. that mackerel really took off. I can't wait to do some off shore spearing. up until now I have been stuck spearing busy bridge passes and docks. know of any fairly priced charters? i need a boat.
awesome fish. i once got bitten on the finger by a spanish mackerel it cut my finger nail in half. tha co2 idea sounds like a good one. i like my rob allen gun.1.4 m for deep water.
oops. that was close. how come you ran out of reel line? the line seemed too short. your lucky bro you did not lose the fish and the gun if it was any deeper.
Ill tell you one thing, never stick your hand near a reel when that king is going off. I was letting my line run out for trolling and a king took it before i could get it all the way out....... I have a blister on my thumb the size of a dime.
That's a nice fish well done, Glad it didn't tear out on you! What reel are you using now and how much line are you running with it? Is there a reason you are not using a float line for insurance in case you have to let go in the deep stuff? Cheers for sharing
I videoed Brandon Wahlers getting spooled faster than this on a big GT a few years ago too but it is impressive how fast these fish are.
I had a reel from another company a few years back that locked up on me when i was at 80 and had a 80+ lb amberjack on dragging me straightdown. couldn't cut it just had to let the whole rig go straight down out of sight in 500 feet of water... Still love reels but you have to know when to let go........
@cameronkirkconnell I don't know anything about spear-fishing, and maybe I'm suggesting something that already exists, BUT - is there some kind of auto-inflatable buoy that could be triggered by the rig leaving your arm? Like the life vests on airplanes, but with the leash attached to your elbow or something. If a big one rips the rig out, it could inflate and drag the rig (and fish, ideally) to the surface - like those barrels in JAWS 1.
Cam - I keep a co2 float on my reel guns - I've used it twice - once to get up fast with shark after my fish and once in a rig when fish tangled. A 50 lb mack might have taken that gun away .........
3:40 Is where the stuff happens
