No hypocrisy here James, just the fact that it is bad for the community to have spearfisherman kill the very creatures that most divers go down to see. It’s bad policy for the boats to let spearfisherman take fish in areas that we dive most. Spearfisherman may only take .03% of all fish taken, but they take 100% of the fish in these areas.
I think that most, could give a rats ass if you spearfish (but you should not spearfish, in most of the coves on front side Catalina, or the coves in Laguna, or PV, these areas have been impacted enough).
Spearfishing on scuba is a sin(only girlie man spearfish on scuba). Free divers are manly ...men. If you can’t kill it Free diving, than you should get your protein some where else.
There is nothing wrong with spearfishing but you need to be responsible when doing it.
