A bit over a year ago I responded to a post here from a guy looking for an "exploding harpoon".
see: http://diver.net/bbs/messages3/20931.shtml
Turns out he was looking for a way to kill the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna that're being pen raised offshore in the south of Spain.
I fixed them up with a few powerheads (and a place to buy ammo, a good trick in Spain).
The .444 Marlin head whacked a pair of 750 pounders with one shot, they were very impressed.
I have them using plain old .44 mags now, saving the .444 for the 1200 - 1500 pounders. Unfortunately they don't wnt any pictures of the op, they're wanting to protect their "trade secret".
Fish that are stoned have no lactic acid buildup in the meat, I guess it can affect the price of a fish by thousands of $$.
