I don't live by any woods, and it has been awhile since I used my Busse to clean any game, but recently we speared this little baby (its a Grouper of 104lbs) and my Steelheart did the honors.....by the way, it did not need a sharpening afterwards. Isn't INFI a wonderful thing??!

Marc,
That fish isn't too small, I usually use my INFI fangs and catch those little ones in my mouth. Otherwise I lash a Basic 9 to a 10 foot pole and spear them. Hehe, that is one damn big fish, I am surprised it didn't eat you
I love pictures like this one. You hear that guys? Post more of these kind of pictures.
Your in nuclear fishing,
Jeff

Not bad, but nothing compared to the catfish we've got up here 
Seriously though, that fish brings back some great memories. What kind of a spear did you use

Marc, where I come from that would be the bait fish.
Actually, that fish is HUGE!!!
The last thing I cleaned (with my Basic #5) was the deer I shot last season...plus my brother's deer, and his friend's deer.
Yes, I got the old "Well now that I shot it, I have to go to work...Can you clean this for me?"

That fish was speared about 100 miles due west of St Petersburg Florida out in the Gulf of Mexico . We leave early morning, drive for about 2.5 hrs (standing all the way) find our spots and dive. Most of our dives are in water about 125ft or so; the worst part of the day is after getting up before light, diving all day, then having that long drive home.
We use 52 inch spearguns with 4 ft shafts. Due to the size of the fish we hunt we do not attach the shafts to our guns with lines. It would be too dangerous if you got caught up in the lines and were dragged too deep or until your air ran out. Plus we use multiple shafts on a single gun.
I am still looking for Jerry to make a dive knife, until such time my coated Steelheart works fine. What I would really like is an INFI dagger that can deliver a brain kill on a struggling fish. A fish this size can bend a 4 ft stainless shaft like a pretzel and kick your butt underwater no problem; anything you can do to incapacitate him quickly is important.
thanks for the comments guys !!
