Good for you !
You, as we all did begin some were and some how to impale our finny adversaries. Be well prepared and be selective in what you spear. Slowly but surely develop a reputation as a knowledgeable effective spearfisherman. You can be judged by how and what you spear.
You are no longer in Hoosierville-- what was considered a large fish in the fresh water of Indiana may and probably will be considered marginal if harvested from salt water, There is a faction who considers a large stringer of barley legal fish a sign of a great spearfisherman but they are their worst enemies and a acknowledged threat to the fish population- the fish require tine to mature and reproduce,
The true spearfisherman will attempt to shoot larger fish which will provide as much meat as a number of small fish with a fraction of the effort - It is called "selective spearfishing fishing"
(A tern made famous by the Great Sam Ichakawa of the Nesi Kelp Twanglers before you were born)
Always bear in mind Spearfishing is one of modern man's most noble activities
I will leave you with several paragraphs from the Fathers
"We Fathers of Free Diving and Spearfishing have been honored as the pioneer participants in a noble sport where one matches their skill in a very hostile environment with that of his finny adversary in an activity that has become internationally known as "Spearfishing."
Spearfish with great dignity and pride in this the noblest of all man's activities, but with restraint and selective spearfishing rather than wholesale slaughter, for with every activity there is a Beginning; a Middle; and an End............"
We the "Fathers" of this great activity were honored to have been a participant in the Beginning, we are some where past the Middle and if precautions aren't established and restraints aren't practiced the End of spearfishing can be in the immediate future"
