WOW, that's all I can really say. If I saw an AJ that size, I would not know whether to shoot or not. People that shoot AJ's that size usually take them with a breakaway rig tied to a float line. Not a shockcord. Trully amazing.

| Yer pimp hand is strong Josh!!!! David, with the stress he was under, and the amount of air he was consuming, and still at a fasst heart and breathing rate even when he did make it to 15 feet, it has been argued that it is better to NOT do a safety stop, because if you are fighting for control and still breathing very heavy, you are absorbing more nitrogen, and your tissue loading goes even higher, since even 15 feet IS a half an atmoshphere. And safety stops, although a great thing, are still just that, a safety stop. My older computer I use will allow me to do a 66 feet per minute accent rate, and does not have ANY provisions for a safety stop. Of course, I still keep my accent under 33 fett per minute, and if doing multiple deep dives, I usually only do a 3rd of that, maybe 10 feet per minute, and take a long safety stop. SO I don't think Josh was being irresponsible at all, he still stayed in limits of conventional diving. And pulled up the biggest AJ I ever seen!!

| Ha "blew off the safety stop" , "too close" ...there are probably 1000 things Josh could have done differently looking back and analyzing the situation..but he was there, we were not. He has probably gone over this a million times but two facts remain.. He made it out safely He landed the fish. A freaking trophy fish to boot!

That is a fish of a lifetime!! That is definitely a fish that is worthy of mounting. With a certified weight from outcast, and the pictures you could take them to a local place and they can make you a mount from that information. Congradulations on an outstanding fish brother P.S. taking a fish like that is a hell of a lot more than just right place right time. You have to have to #1 have the where-with-all to keep your stuff together to put such a good shot on that fish, #2 you have to have the ability to handle that fish once he's on without losing your gun or getting killed yourself, #3 you have to have the gigantic balls to take that shot. Nicely done my friend, nicely done!

| Hey Josh! If you get a mount like they said, dude, you got to give them the spear shaft, you said it got bent anyways, and have them mount it with the shaft in it, sticking out! Right were it went in, and have them air brush a little wound there, and paint some blood on!!!!!! Like you just shot it!!! Then, you can get your enormous churchbell size balls bronzed, and hang them bad boys next to it!!!!!!
