Excellent Video! (http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj189/WhopperStopper/Boards/thumbsup_zps2bfd7945.jpg) (http://s272.photobucket.com/user/WhopperStopper/media/Boards/thumbsup_zps2bfd7945.jpg.html)

Taking it to the next level  :thumbsup:

You certainly have the spear-gun mastered, can you give any info on it? Is there some type of sighting device or is it more instinctive?

I was out in your neck of the woods 25-30 years ago. I worked in Pierre at KCCR radio. I watched a few guys dive in Oahe where they would bring up some massive walleye. Talk about interesting.

Thanks for sharing all your work! Much appreciated.

Man, you sure got some hogs. I love the darkhouse setup, sure beats staring down a hole. Yeah, I'd like to know more about the spear gun as well.

Oooops, Sorry to tell you that I'm not the master in this video. I'm still setting on a 5 gallon bucket with a 9 prong spear in hand.  However I did pop a 42 inch 20 pounder  on Christmas day. Honestly I'm too old and dumb to figure out all that techie stuff in that video.

There are some monster pike in this lake. A friend of mine speared one over 30 pounds many years ago in the Pierre, S. Dak. area.

That was pretty cool. I never would have thought of using a spear-gun for spearing pike. Is that legal for Sturgeon too?
