PB Spearfishing Bass 41 lbs
One breath. One shot. 55 feet down. Personal Best bass - 41lbs
It's a truly amazing sight to see. Take a deep breath, dive down in 50+ feet of water into a massive school of the biggest bass ever seen. As the sea of fish parts beneath you and you slowly settle to the bottom (did I mention it was 55 feet down! Yow!) the fish begin to return and form a circling funnel all around you. It was a tornado of bass all in the 30 to 60 lb class - no exaggeration. An actual Bass-nado. The difficult part was to hold your breath long enough to be able to hone in on the largest fish in the school. One fish limit. One shot. When I shot my fish I knew it was a PB by far but I also knew that if I had just a little more air and a little more patience, I could have picked out one for the record books. I shot a bruiser but there were fish in the Bass-nado that were much bigger. Really exciting stuff. It lets you see what your sonar/fishfinder is really seeing. You just have to have the stones to jump in the water and take a look (55 feet down).

Re: PB Spearfishing Bass 41 lbs
Not a sport no matter what depth ur at , it's amazing it's still allowed definitely not a fan !!
Pin hooking bad enough , don't need this , sport anglers brought back this species back years ago , don't remember any diving groups involved , maybe I'm wrong .

Re: PB Spearfishing Bass 41 lbs
I'll offer my opinion on this that no one cares about or wants. I think spearfishing is cool in theory but in today's age where so many fisheries are in trouble I don't think it's great to have a means of catching where there is no release possibility. Also not a fan of killing large bass, I'm not a scientist but I have reliable info that bass that size are usually female and responsible for producing most of the viable eggs.

Re: PB Spearfishing Bass 41 lbs
They shot 2 fish!! Give them a freaking break, Geeeeez! My PB fluke 8.5lbs was spearfishing so I can relate. Awesome work!! I can only imagine what a huge school of bass above me while laying there in silence is like! When I'm on scuba, I can't hold my breath for 2 seconds and I suck a tank dry in minutes, lol. So yeah holding your breath for 50+ft and waiting there to get the perfect shot is amazing! Nicely done!! Next time bring a gopro attached to your gun or head so you can record it!! Okay enough exclamation marks, lol.
