Ritchie and I went out in the Bay to shoot some sheep's head. I had my little yellow pole spear with me. We were spearfishing under a bridge. I shot this cobia without a belt reel and just planned on hanging on to a pilling as best i could. The cobia ended up wedging himself with my polespear between some pilling. I was able to get a breath and go back down and grab him.
