Been there, done that. My first spearfishing trip (30 years ago) was a near disaster comedy of errors. I shot a 3' Amberjack, didn't kill it outright, and got dragged all over hell's half acre. When we got home, the only knife we had to section it with was a Buck 110. Then we find out it was full of worms. After that I stuck with a little "lunch gun" and concentrated on harvesting only what fit on the grill. Lord but I do miss 3/7 in Panama. !Un Paraiso Verdadero!

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
