The first dive trip I went on with the Venture Crew was memorable nonetheless. We ran into some of the dumbest fish on some of the most untouched grounds.  For whatever reason, the photos and videos from this trip back in 2016 was uploaded on a thumb drive and misplaced. Up until now I was able to find all the lost footage and photos from an epic trip with the boys.

I got a call from Uncle Kurt to go trolling. A lot of Ahi have been coming up so we thought we try our luck out on the water. We found rubbish and a lot of bird piles that we chased for miles. I also got to test out my new GoFishCam and was lucky enough to catch a split second of a hook up! Unfortunately I have yet to get that Ahi monkey off my back but it was nice to hear that reel sing on a Ono. Lure: https://amzn.to/3ipaSVI I can't wait to get more footage using the GoFishCam...

After many dives, many misses & many fish landed you'll eventually have to change your bands on your speargun. You can take it to local dive shop or you can do it yourself once you have all the proper rigging gear.

Next time i'll have to give it a try myself. A message from Troy: *This...

When I first starting diving I only used three prong. It taught me patience and how to stalk and track fish. Like most of us, I started with a yellow fiberglass 3-prong from Walmart. There were way more misses then hits, but every hit felt so rewarding.   Through time in the water I eventually purchased a gun which I used 99% of the time after that. Only till a few months ago I purchased an Evolve Diving 3-Prong I was stoked to give it a shot after all the great things I heard about this 3-Prong. I bought the collapsible 9ft...

For years I've used the Hammerhead Speargun MV3 GoPro mask with blue tint. I absolutely loved that mask, it fit my face really well. It's a low volume mask that felt comfortable on deeper drops and on those deeper drops when the air in your mask compresses, on the way back up to the surface the air expands giving you just a little taste of air that you can breathe on the way back up. I was able to do that each time without wasting any air or water entering my mask. Of course through heavy use, wear and tear,...
