North Coast Yellowfin Tuna Spearfishing

Andrew Clarkson 35kg Yellowfin Tuna
A little while back I wrote a blog about me finally spearfishing a Yellowfin Tuna off the back of a pod of dolphins. (Spearfishing a Lucky Yellowfin Tuna) Andrew Clarkson just pulled this off again!!

Here the message he sent with the pic:
Thought I would send you a pic of the yellow fin that I shot yesterday. Clocked in at 35Kg, also off the back of a big dolphin pod. Super stoked as I missed out on one in December but managed to nail this one - my biggest fish to date. Was an awesome experience!

Anyway well done to Andrew great fish, hope the sushi was epic too.

So if you go out on a spearfishing adventure and have a fantastic day at sea or come across something very unique ... or even something funny and manage to capture the action on your Go Pro, mini cam or even cell phone send it in. (contact - topshotsvideo@gmail.com)

In this first news edition Aimrite spearguns have sponsored a speargun to a lucky winner who shares the video on their FaceBook profile. So if you want to stand a chance at winning an Aimrite speargun then share the love and share this link: http://youtu.be/SfNgAKfjXsE

Aeris F10 Spearfishing Dive Watch Gets Clocked

My Aeris F10 about to get clocked!
I thought you guy might find this interesting. I clocked my trusty old Aeris F10 dive computer. I have had the watch for at least 2 years and have put it through its paces. The watch has with stood some serious abuse to the point where even the plastic ridge on the rim of the watch has been worn round from getting ground down in crayfish holes :-)

Any way I thought I would take a pic after the dive where I clocked 9997 dives ... it would have been cool to have gotten 9999 tho. Not sure when I will be able to do this again. Man it will be amazing if I clock this again on this watch ... I will definitely retire it if I do. It can then sit on my bed side table and tick away.

The only down side is that it reset all the history when it went back to zero. And for some reason it now turns off if i go into the dive history. Taking the battery out seems to bring it back from the dead, so all good.

So just incase you were wondering whether or not to buy an Aeris F10 ... there is no doubt in my mind.
Maybe Aeris will send me a new one for the good punt.... nudge nudge wink wink  :-)

Top Shots - Spearfishing Series - Giant Trevally Showdown


Here is the next Spearfishing Top Shots video from In The Zone Productions. This one is really cool as there is a voting thing where the viewers choose the best shot between two guys and their big Iggies.

The video has an Iggie (Ignobilis) from Gerhard Vosloo and one from Rodney Ive. There has been a fair bit of a tussle going on the voting poll to who has the best shot. Guys are seriously analysing each shot down to the bone!! It's got quiet heated once or twice as it does on facebook.
Check it out: Giant Trevally Showdown Poll

If you have not seen it yet check it out here: Spearfishing Top Shots
