Michelle shot her weight with this fish. Stoned it but almost lost it.

She shot down on this fish at about 15 feet and stoned the fish but the slip tip only was holding by a piece of skin. Close call

Michelle shot two tuna and the two of us guys that can dive deeper and stay longer never got a shot. Michelle had her tuna mojo working in rare form.

After finding no tuna for hours Michelle was making a practice dive and had this nice fish swim by at about 20 feet. What a battle.

Michelle Shoots Nice Pargo at River Mouth
Submitted by: Noel Roper (LA and Panama, Central America)

Dix's new trainee/ dive buddy with nice Bocipenda or Pompano, 2005.

Pulled me through the water for 10 minutes, 2005.

Shot on a breath hold at 20 feet in Panama, 2005.

Shot in Panama on breath hold diving, 2005.

Speared on a breath hold in Panama, Panama 8/05

Shot on a breath hold at 40 feet in dirty water. 2006

A school of seven roosters were going by and before I could bring my gun to bear all but this one, the last and smallest of them had passed. 2006

This is Michelle's second fish ever shot and her first Bohala or Amberjack. 2006

Michelle shot her first bluejack at 25 feet in raging current three miles offshore, while seasick. Diving better all the time. 2006

Speared 7 miles out at sea. Michelle saw the fish first but I had the gun. I was suprised to find the fish so far from shore. 2006

A wahoo that was a little too curious and came too close to check out the Gringo in the purple wetsuit, with the death star on his chest. 2006

She was at 20 feet when the Bohala fish came in and then turned away. She waited, holding her breath and the fish came back closer-BAM. 2006

Fast, hard to hit and delicious eating.

I saw bigger Pargo but could not get down to them. Next time!

She shot this fish in 2006 at 20-25 feet in the perlas lislands Panama and was by herself in the water as we did not have a third person in the boat. Dangerous but it worked.
