A mighty big congratulations to you!
Those that think that spearfishing is hurting fishing in this state are idiots. So few spear fisherman and so few fish harvested by this method. If I had caught that fish on a pole I would have kept it and if I posted it I would have caught hell for it also. I think that too many people are putting big fish on a sacred pedastle. They are just fish and I guarantee that more record size fish go home with average anglers that don't report on this forum than we could imagine.
I hope you enjoy your new found sport and that the vocal fish huggers don't get their own way and ruin it for those of you that spearfish.
In fact, I think I'm gonna start keeping a limit of large fish for every post that I see on here that moans about keeping or killing large fish.
Rant over. Sorry, just having a bad day.
