While browsing around at #spearfishing videos I came across a video from @RyanMyersExpeditions where he was using some sort of Hawaiian sling pole spear that shot a free shaft (not tethered with a line). I thought it was a cool concept and had never seen anything like that before so I figured I'd throw something together a little more primitive. I ended up using a band from a pole spear, a chunk of bamboo for a handle, and a two prong stick as the "arrow." Ryan was a lot more successful with his setup but I did manage to spear a couple fish. The most challenging aspect of this setup, aside from the primitive part, was that I had to use two hands to operate it which meant I couldn't use my left hand to hold myself in position to remain still and wait on fish to approach. On the way back in, we came across a huge lobster and ended the day with a fantastic catch and cook.
