I'm not a big fan of spearfishing, but i have to say, rod and reel isn't even in the same league as spearfishing!
It is not uncommon for 12 year old girls to catch 100lb tuna on long range boats and in mex. Trolling for tuna is without a doubt, the laziest way to catch a fish there is, no skill involved whatsoever.
if you want a REAL challenge, try getting in the water and taking a picture of one.
Hundreds of thousands caught every year on rod and reel
scores taken by spear
a virtual handfull of good pictures
That is where the real skill lies
