The weight of that fish will be a mystery for eternity. My scale was at home and Don doesn't have one. Don and I spoke about getting an official weight, but Don's take was that this isn't a tournament. He didn't care about the weight and simply honored the fish for being the magnificent creature it was, a trophy to be proud of. I will just say that his fish made my trophy over fifty pounds look like a Speckled Trout. He kept telling me how small my fish looked compared to his, trying to make me feel bad for harvesting her. I didn't even want him pulling his kayak up next to mine on the beach  .

Uh Oh, here they come...

I don't remember saying I could swim without a wetsuit, no weights or fins in 59 degree water for three minutes on one breath. I said a 3 minute breathhold, which was timed in perfectly calm warm water, after properly prepping my lungs. It should be obvious that jumping in ice water will more than cut your oxygen level in half, then kicking down with no fins or weights and spending precious energy will give you twenty seconds at best. But, thanks so much for clearing that up, Chris.

 Not that it matters, but you stated you have a great breathhold topping out around 3 mins, it does not say anything about static training in calm waters, so I was astounded by your breathhold. That is all, nothing more, nothing less. chris |

chris - I read it the same way.
I freedive and have lots of friends that do.....I was thinking "what a load of BS". I swam and played water polo all the way through college and nobody I knew could do that... These were guys on full scholarships who were invited to Olympic trials. Josh's explanation clears it up. |

Ahhhhh my favorite style of personal attack.  People make accusations, if you explain yourself then people attack you for explaining. D_____ if you, do D_____ if you don't kind of thing. So what's the real issue Johnny? The fact he can type, the fact he's catching big fish, or the fact he's helping others catch them as well
