Yup, every year. You're allowed to dive anywhere in the gulf/gulf states. All the weigh-ins are done Sunday in Kenner

I'd like to go to that.

How dangerous is scuba diving/spearfishing together.

It can be very dangerous. You have a lot going on at one time and you're fighting a fish in his home. It takes a lot of learning from experienced guy.

Holy shite, I bet that's a blast

How does it not drag you along with it after spearing it?

Why would you have a category for jack crevalle and spadefish? Just to kill, weigh and throw in the trash?

Must hit in head or spine. There a re a few tricks that help but I did loose a 400 dollar gun a few years back.

If your shot is a good one (towards the head end of the fish), you have the leverage ad a rage, but a big one can still make things uncomfortable.

mis-read your question.

Why?

It's because it allows people to dive all over and then come in to one spot for the weigh-in. Other rodeos are more location specific, like set in Fourchon or Venice but this spreads everyone out.
