This fish keeps me going. Jobbie, Uku, Blue Green Snapper, Kakaap what ever you call them. They have to be one of the most fun to hunt and best eating of all fish in the tropics and sub-tropics. Is there a better fish out there that ticks all boxes like a Jobbie? . #jobfish #kakaap #uku #spearfishing #snapper #spearing #bestfish https://instagr.am/p/CsA0wl8qtjt/

A life long pursuit for this 🐊. Sure I have shot bigger ones, but not here at home.
This is my PB 🐊in local waters. I have lost a few big ones over the years that have frustrated the hell out of me. So to have the opportunity & land a 🐊 feels good. 

We were diving a wreck off Richards Bay with @billymccarthy654 @jethromccarthy & @ryan_schubel I had damaged the shooting line on my 120CDR that I always use, so grabbed a prototype 110CDR-Lite. 
This is a lighter muzzle so the gun feels better in the water. I am also running the bands longer than I would have previously.

The 27kg fish stripped my gun reel and I almost lost the fish when I did not get to my belt reel quick enough to release it. Thank goodness for the bungee between gun and belt reel. Rookie error having my belt reel locked up. 
But all is well that ends well. Photo Type Gun Specs: 110 CDR3 Lite 🎯 
Using light hybrid bearings On a RA Carbon barrel, Vecta2 Grip & Reel. Shooting a 1.5m 7.5mm Double Notched RA Shaft. Powered by twin 14mm bands at 75cm 
(half barrel + 20cm) Approx 300% #coatesmans #CDR3 #spearfishing #spearing #speargun #doubleroller #rollergun  #roballen  #spanishmackerel #couta https://instagr.am/p/CqM-VHrqWab/

There is an old spearfishing saying, “No sharks, no fish” Spearfishing on the east coast of South Africa in summer can be a wild affair. The moment the pelagic fish arrive they seam to bring with them hoards of sharks. Or is it the other way around? NEW VIDEO UP ON YOU📺TUBE LINK IN BIO🔺 #spearfishing #sharks #taxman #spearing #coatesmans https://instagr.am/p/CmEfH_vspS6/

Adventures on The Taxman - Sharks Galore! There is an old spearfishing saying, “No sharks, no fish” Spearfishing on the east coast of South Africa in summer can be a wild affair. The moment the pelagic fish arrive they seam to bring with them hoards of sharks. Or is it the other way around? This past year the diving was short lived with two cyclones wrecking the conditions for most of the summer. Followed up by massive flooding in April which then canceled any hope of diving through winter. And it seems like we are still wallowing in the murk 8 months later. The diving we did how ever get in the summer was action packed and the fish really seemed to be here enforce. And those who found the odd clean gap between the cyclone swells got real lucky. I managed to get one good day out off our home grounds at the beginning of April, just before the floods hit. The sharks were wild, and in some places seemed to be shoaling. Ryan and I got a bunch of really good fish, and we somehow didn't loose any fish to sharks. We had a bunch of fairly close encounters that got the heart pumping, making for some entertaining videos. The vis however was really marginal, and the weather was overcast and gloomy. So I only filmed a bunch of my dives with the a gopro 7. I never had any intention of using any of the footage. As the gloomy green water did not make for great 'eye candy'. A few months later going through the footage and realising that the footage was really action packed I decided to put an edit together. I had not filmed any B roll footage to add to the edit. So I decided to try something a little different and do a 'blow by blow' run down of each dive filmed and try add in as much value as possible, commenting on techniques and situations as they happened. I hope you enjoy this video and running commentary of each dive as it happened. Who knows maybe this will be the start of a series of videos diving with Ryan on the Taxman. Cheers Chris

NEW 🌎 WR 🏆CUBERA SNAPPER by @bradensherron using a 130CDR3 StepUp. . Braden has been putting in some serious hard yards lately. All the paydirt paying off big. I can’t wait to see the📺 Video 🙌 . Repost from @bradensherron : 2022 has now been the craziest dive year of my life. Spearfishing world record- 137 lb Cubera shot freediving out of my panga in the Gulf of Mexico. Huge thanks to my brother @blakesherron9 for tagging along and helping out on this trip. I don’t know how I would’ve lifted this fish into the boat otherwise. Still doesn’t feel real. Crazy story and video to come on my YouTube channel, Braden Sherron! . . BTW this fish has been great eating and has and will continue to be enjoyed by many. I wasn’t out hunting for a record, this fish just ended up being way larger than I thought. . #spearfishing spearfishingworld #spearfishinginternacional #spearfishinglife #spearfishingadventures #spearo #fishingpicoftheday #fishingpics #spearchannel #caughnotbought #filletandrelease #onebreath #pescasub #pescasubmarina #pescasubacquea #speargun #spearfish https://instagr.am/p/CfQ6a73KH6G/

So the story of the 258.7kg Black Marlin shot by legend SA spearo Mark Jackson up in Zululand. Is that he shot the fish out in 45m of water. The fish came up from the deep and broad sided Mark. The double barb 7.5mm shaft broke and got lodged in the spine of the Marlin, killing it instantly. Good thing as Mark was only on a reel gun, and as it turns out he lost his gun the day before to a fish and the gun he was using was a borrowed one from @crisdillon . Gun specs: 130 CDR3 Using 2 x 14mm bands at 75cm and a 1.7m 7.5mm shaft. . #spearfishing #spearfishingworld #spearfishinginternacional #spearfishinglife #spearfishingadventures #spearo #fishingpicoftheday #fishingpics #spearchannel #caughnotbought #filletandrelease #onebreath #pescasub #pescasubmarina #pescasubacquea #speargun #spearfish #blackmarlin https://instagr.am/p/Celcer7Kj4y/

CSR🎯 Kits Available NOW . 🛒🔗in BIO ⤴️ . This ultra light weight single roller speargun muzzle is the lightest roller muzzle with ceramic bearings on the market. This solves the issue with short roller guns being muzzle heavy and eliminates the need for cuttlefish barrels or floatation on shorter guns. . The CSR🎯 has been specifically designed to be as compact and low profile as possible, using 14mm bands and 7mm shaft. Careful attention has been made to where the bands lie along the barrel. Reducing the overall profile of the gun. This makes the CSR🎯 roller on a Rob Allen carbon Barrel and Vecta2 handle the ultimate (Euro style pipe) single roller on the market. . Almost a decade of roller gun muzzle design and experimentation has gone into making the CSR🎯 the most high performance single roller muzzle available. Without compromising on the same proven construction and robust materials used in the CDR3🎯 series. . The CSR🎯 comes with the ‘Easy Load Pretension Hooks’ system. Eliminating any potential snags common on the old mushroom anchor points. This also makes attaching and detaching the rubbers simple and easy. https://instagr.am/p/CdpchRDM4ST/
