I like to think of myself as a man of the ocean, but these guys are legitimate fishes.  Check out this video of French free-diver Guillaume Nery "base jumping" to the bottom Dean's Blue Hole in the Bahamas.  663 feet down, one breath, and a rock climb back to the surface, pretty legendary.

Free diving and spearfishing is something I've slowly been working myself into.  It's just hard for me to get past what a solitary activity it is.  It is fucking scary, especially here in Cali, to dawn a mask, wetty, and flippers and just subject yourself to the cold dark depths where every animal around you is in their element, and you are the furthest from yours.  It's cold, dark green, and murky.  Even when you are with a friend, a lot of the time you are focused on the fish and turn around and have no clue where they went.  Not to mention you are shooting a spear into a living fish, they squirm and bleed everywhere at the end of your line as you hug the bottom praying a shark isn't within one square mile from you.  I can hold my breath for just under 2 minutes and the furthest down I've been under my own power and breath is about 55 feet to an underwater arch at a reef off of Kauai.  This summer was shit for fishing.  I grabbed a few small rock bass and such but nothing over 10 pounds.  Check out this world record white sea bass speared right off of Leo Carrillo Point (my workplace) last summer. 93 pounds.

Here's another website with some massive speared fish.  You gonna be like WTFFFF.   Merlo Spearguns

Hope this inspires you Haole boys over on the Islands to get in the ocean sober.  Hey Mitro I bet Jims can dive deeper than you.
