[thotkrime]

I thought sheephead's like to hang out in the grass... not under rocks. Hmm..

[art707rosetown]

@350 is that a capazone bro?

[FishHuntCook]

Hey i was going to buy a mako speargun or a riffe but this video makes me buy a omer so im set on an omer speargun for now the cayman et HD. Also what size was this gun?

[freedivingdan]

@FishHuntCook , I am sure O.ME.R would be happy to hear those words!!! The gun I am using is a 95cm gun. Great for Cen-Cal on clear days, or costal diving down in So-Cal. They make this gun in 80cm all the way up to 130cm. Happy hunting!

[spearo094]

Hey Dan, do the 65cm cayman and 80cm hf2 guns float with the shaft out? I'm thinking of rigging a shorter gun up with a reel but heard alot of them sink with shaft out

[freedivingdan]

@spearo094, Without the reel all OMER guns float without the shaft. If you add a reel, the guns ability to float has to do with the amount of air in the barrel vs. the size and material type of reel you use. I have the OMER match 30 on my 65cm gun and it floats. On my HF guns, I have OMER match 50's and they float. If you upgrade to the aluminum match reels, this may change the buoyancy characteristics. You may have to contact the company for further details or experiment yourself. Good luck.

Where is this? reminds me of monterey

[spearo094]

Hey mate, what camera are you using to film all these videos? Some of the best spearfishing vids on youtube in my opinion

[freedivingdan]

@spearo094 , I am using the Liquid Image Wide Angle HD camera mask - product #322. The mask shoot some amazing footage!!!

[spearo094]

@freedivingdan

I am looking into getting the same mask now, however the only way i could get a hold of one would be on the internet without trying it on. What size do you wear?

[freedivingdan]

ifishanyweather, I have never used the Cayman Carbon, but I know that many people in hawaii like to use that gun. It is very light, maneuverable, and well manufactured. It seems that people prefer to use it in the larger size guns (100cm and larger).

[ifishanyweather]

have you had any experience with the omer cayman carbon?

[TheBlackveilbrides44]

hey guys im realy new to searing and im thinking of gettin a jbl supper carbine any thouts my limit is 120$

[freedivingdan]

@TheBlackveilbrides44 , I don't have much experience with using the newer JBL guns, but as a child I had a small JBL gun, but I was not fond of it. Here are the reasons why:

1- the slide ring on the shaft would get stuck and mess up my shot.

2- I have trouble sighting down the shaft due to the closed muzzle.

3- the gun was too small for large lingcod and lacked power.

4- the tip had several extra pieces of metal hardware which reduced penetration.

Those were the reasons why I choose OMER.

[almostalways803]

wow at 5:33 what a nice sheephead

[MiamiAirsoft]

nice shooting . but wow those fish are dumb they just sit there. or you are super ninja. i dove with you in Martins class in florida (FII). i also dove with Justin and Brian in Kona for level III. Those HF2 are nice now they have enclosed track just don't shot them upside-down.

[freedivingdan]

There is nothing better than paralyzing a vermillion rockfish "stone shot" 1:15

[dadruski]

1:15 = perfect shot



[freedivingdan]

 was using 3 different guns in this video:

Omer HF Camo ET (Enclosed Track) - 95cm

Omer Cayman HF2 - 80cm

Omer Cayman 65cm

All these fish were speared in central California.

[MyGunfreak]

what speargun are you using

[MyGunfreak]

where is that australi?

[freedivingdan]

visit my website: Spearfishing is Not a Crime

[OGdiver808]

wow, fish are dumb in cali. They just sit there. haha

[freedivingdan]

I was using the Cayman ET 95cm gun. I have it rigged with 250 pound mono, connected to a pigtail swivel, and dyneema 2.0mm line on the reel.

[freedivingdan]

bassmaster11294, I was using the new camera #322 has a 105˚ viewing angle. The older liquid image cameras had a 54˚ angle.

I will never go back. Wide angle is perfect for spearfishing.

[bassmaster11294]

what underwater camera did u use

[vic50291]

What is the length of your Cayman ET ?

[TheEkbay]

what kind of line are you shooting on your shaft line?

[freedivingdan]

The new camera #322 has a 105˚ viewing angle. The older liquid image cameras had a 54˚ angle.

I will never go back. Wide angle is perfect for spearfishing.

[retrosub]

That's a lot of good stone shots. I find that when I have my head cam on, where I'm looking when I'm sighting down the gun is different than when I'm just looking around. You don't seem to have this problem, did you have to correct it during use? Or you just naturally have your head at the same angle when you're aiming?

[freedivingdan]

Hey Ray,

Yes, the some of the other videos I posted were shot with the Liquid Image mask.

The liquid image 322 HD wide angle mask can be purchased online for about $350.00 online or at some dive shops.

Amazon, B&H photo, etc. are all selling Liquid Image Masks. I know that west Marine sells some of their products, but I am not sure if they sell this model.

If you still can not find one online, feel free to contact me through my website and I will help you. spearfishingisnotacrime

[rayscuba]

Dan,

Is any of this filmed w/ that dive mask camera you showed in one of your last video's? Where do you reccommend for me to get one of those mask camera?

Thanks in advance, Ray Live in Redwood City

[freedivingdan]

No, Lingcod are closed, in California, from the end November till April. These lings were shot in November.

[nkesbe]
