I spearfish… and I love it. It’s one of my favorite pastimes and something I’m hoping to do more in the future. Here is my latest catch.
A friend of mine introduced me to spearfishing about a year ago. After shooting my fist fish I immediately knew that I had a new hobby. It just adds an element of excitement in your life that fishing with a rod & reel cannot... something about being amongst the fish while you hunt them. When you free dive (which is what we do) you have to be able to dive down to the fish and once you shoot them you have to fight them to the surface. Then you have to fend off the barracuda and sharks as you swim your catch back to the boat. There is just a more primal feel to it than sitting on a boat waiting to get a bite. I love seafood, but there is no better tasting fish than one you just swam after, shot and fought back to the boat... not to mention fish just tastes better fresh.
Lauren just likes holding the gun.
