To spear...or not to spear?

[DeadI]

Then why is it that when you look at the state records for all species the spearfishing records are smaller. The reason is because fish spook easy. They don't just sit there and let you hang out with them. However when your throwing a lure to them they generaly do not spook. I can go catch fish after fish on the rod. In 5 hours of spearfishing this last week I only pulled the trigger on 5 fish, conecting on 3, the others were all misses and that was at about 10 feet away. It is much harder than you think to spear a fish, and even harder to get the larger fish. They don't get big by being dumb.
