Hi!, I've done a lot of spearfishing in the past. Any real spearfisherman is a free diver, they hold there breath. Believe me its not like shootin' in a barrel. On the surface you inhale as much air as possible then you dive down 50 feet and lay on the bottom waiting for a fish to swim by, if your lucky you shoot a fish. If its a big bass be ready for a good thrashin', then after you get the fish under control you swim to the surface, you did all this on one breath. Back when there was no limit on tataug many freedivers had comm. licences and sold a lot of them. Tataug used to be the target species. I've dove with national champions and none of them shot fish and left them on the bottom. snake slinger
