this is my favorite spear gun. it’s a 100cm pipe gun with a custom airbrush. yeah, i sanded it down, got some spray paint, and started to get creative one day. that was about 4 years ago when i had time to do things like this. this gun itself probably caught me, my family, my friends, and my friends friends over $10,000 worth of fish, and over $1,000,000 worth of memories. it’s been around the world and back! i’m never getting rid of this gun. and see that shaft? it’s now bent. $50 will buy me another one and i’m not sure if i will ever attempt to spear a big fish anymore. i’d rather have my $50 than a big fish.

see that red fish with the white stripes? that kumu is the best tasting fish in hawaii that will cost you around $60 in a chinese restaurant. you have to try it someday.

i kept a couple of kole’s, and ended up taking the ulua and other fish down to some friends that live on the beach. they were so happy to be able to eat fresh fish to start the new year. happy new year boys!
