Incredible story, Josh! The view below the paddy is incredible...the most dangerous predator to the spearfisherman can be the inexperienced fellow spearfisherman. Stay safe.

Thats crazy! I had a close encounter two weeks ago when a friend of mine shot his first yt on a paddy and got the line wrapped around his neck after grabbing the fish and it went crazy. I had to jump in and cut the cord because he had no knife. Nice fish too btw

Holy crap.... What a story. God just knew you still wanted to catch fish and share with your family! And that you will do for sure.

nice job
I recently took up spear fishing, since I had been diving for Lobsters the last 2 years and figured why not do it all. I had my ups and downs over the last year but I did take a class from Free dive in spear in Hermosa that helps and just completed my level 1 FII class that I highly recommend you take if you want to pursue that sport, its very addictive and I think you may. Mark Lozano
2040 Harbor Island Drive, Suite 100, San Diego,California,United States Phone # 949-292-1043 email: mark@freedivinginstructors.com was my instructor and you will learn how to breath properly,weight you belt, and safety first and by the end of the 2 day course you will be able to dive to 60' and hold your breath for 3 mins or more. This is a amazing story and you might want to post it on www.spearboard.com for all the newbies out there to think about how easy it is for problems to happen. I started with a smaller gun and have moved my way up to a 3 band Islander which isn't as big as the one you were shooting but if I don't lock my wrist, I have almost sprained it. If you want to try it off your kayak I wouldn't mind taking you out and showing what I have learned so far and have a lot of extra gear now, 3 guns, 3 and 1/2 wet suits, 2 sets of fins,3 masks and snorkels, 2 weight belts, 3 dive knifes, 1 safety float and 1 open water float but only one 100' float line, 2 sets of booties. I do a lot of shore dives since I am close to PV and Malibu but will go where ever the fish are. So far I have only added my kayak dive reports here, scroll to the bottom of the first page http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ad.php?t=13340 Thanks Dave

Damn Josh, your too young to become a statistic.
besides, you shouldn't be allowed to fish under water the fish need some kind of sanctuary from your killing skills Glad your OK and able to tell the story
