There’s plenty of options out there, but i would make sure you get a gun that has at least 2 bands and nothing made of metal for wishbones (the part that loads onto the spear). And make sure it has a safety as well. Lol

    I used to snorkle years ago on my favorite fresh water lake here in Northern Mi. I used to find a big old bass sitting in top a 55 gallon drum off the diving platform in a brush pile made from locals who dump branches on the ice just before spring thaw. I would pet that big ole bass's tummy. No one could ever catch him. He was lazy and preferred going into shore at night to feed. I always enjoyed swimming among the fishes.

    • @purelymispearfishingdiving6278

    • @notmyname9625
      @notmyname9625 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      he wasnt lazy he was smart. He didnt live long enough to grow that big for no reason. As bass get older n bigger they become smarter and learn to be more selective about there food. Only eating prey deemed worthy for the amount of energy expended to catch them. What you described is typical big bass behavior and without using those tactics these huge bass likely wouldnt be able to grow that big. Its the reason i stopped trying to target trophy bass actually. I'm not necessarily against the trend of big swimbaits n stuff like that to each his own but after learning how much riskier being caught is for the big ones i just felt like i should stop targeting them like that. I'm no Roland Martin im just a regular guy fishing by myself most of the time i dont need to catch giants anymore im perfectly content with whatever i can catch. Although i still do get excited when i hook a big one i cant lie i just dont target them exclusively.

  • @inshanity84

      @purelymispearfishingdiving6278  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@hellosweetheart3350 that couldn’t be anymore of an inaccurate statement. It’s simply Bc there’s such a small community of (speargunner’s) that exist in this state and none of them actually took the proper steps to get the fisheries division to make more table worthy game fish available. Dr. Herbst is the aquatic species affairs unit manager and he made it very clear that the resource could absolutely, unequivocally support our method of harvest at the same rate as hook and line anglers. We’ve put together a proposal Which will be voted on by the NRC this summer when they finish reviewing it with the warm and cold water resource steering committees. The warm water committee already voted majority in favor (11-4) of the proposal adding walleye, pike and lake trout to the species list. So expect to see that change in the 2022 regulations 👌🏻

      Some days are better than others with the waves but for sure not having anything much bigger than 10ft. The biggest difference is the biodiversity in fish and reefs. Great Lakes haven’t been around as long as the oceans soo not as much time to get sharks and stuff like that. But the beaches are pretty nice in this part!

    I live in a part of the Pacific Northwest where smallmouth bass were decimating our sturgeon, steelhead, plus chinook and coho salmon populations returning from the sea. In order to assist salmon, the size and limit restrictions were eliminated. Imagine what good things could be done to help other folks or families in need! Not sure how long it'll be in effect, but my knee replacement will hopefully let me get back to the outdoors activities I love and dearly miss. 🥴

    Hey! Im landlocked for the first time, and losing my freakin mind not being able to spearfish, so I was thinking to try in lake michigan. Are there any fish that you can legally shoot that are actually edible?

      Zach Sonallah depends on your taste buds honestly. Silver red horse suckers are good, but a fair amount of work with the pin hair bones. Small drum eat decent along with catfish. Best eating fish you can spear are burbot and white fish but those are rare prizes with a speargun

      I agree about the red horn sucker's, and I recommend smoking them, their delicious 😋 & easy to catch in our rivers, but spearing here is mainly to keep invasive species from eating our perch spawn and such. The guys are usually out at night in Muskegon lake spearing freshwater drum's along the shoreline and sucker's in the river and streams. I'm out alot, only on the lakeshore so I can only vouch for that type of fishing.

    I'm surprised your channel hasn't blown up with subscribers! This is some amazing video showing some nice sized walleye! This just got me excited to get out and start jigging.
    I also have a great idea for you, have a friend cast some crank baits from shore as your chilling with the walleyes and see how enticed they are with lures. Maybe switch it up with some jigs and spoons. I would love to see that!
