My average breath hold when I am hunting is about 2 minutes. but I have made very deep dives for up to 4 min. My longest static is 6:30min.

Still can't believe this and keep coming back to watch re-runs! Many of you know this, but on 2 August, Dan became the US National Spearfishing champion. He won, his team won, he shot the biggest fish in the competition and scored a world record CA Lingcod!

I have been using the Sporasub One 80m virtical reel with the 2.2mm red Marco Bardi O.ME.R line. Reels are more complicated than float lines, therefore, you need to practice using them before attempting to handle a large game fish. I use reels for anything under 80 pounds. After that, I use a buoy and a line.

I hunt mostly between 15' and 60' in Cali. In other places around the world, I dive to depths approaching 150'. I have encountered 3 GWS over the 20+ years of being in the water. None of my encounters were threatening. It is always a risk, but for the most part, the risk is low if you are smart about where you dive.

Hi Dan! Is this the coast of Catalina island? Looks like , I went there nearly 2006, nice to spear among this new scenario, I`m usually doing spearfishing in Mediterranean Sea and by traveling for my job, I`ve also met the Pacific ocean and part of the Atlantic. Quite different environment but very attractive. Got subscribed. Anyway nice revival, cheers for sharing,
