I scuba and freedive in san diego locally, people do take wsb on scuba but only when the fish are very approachable during the spawning season, our vis is bad and we hunt in mazes of kelp beds where doing a 2hour long loop in the kelp searching out I chance to put a shot on the one fish u see. I know about freeshafting and if u stone ur fish u might be ok but u fish may still spiral into the merk which is usually bad at the very bottom. The reality is is that if u what a big wsb or yt whether ur scuba or whatever u need a floatline or reel, and I have stoned many fish, but more often they run. I have a small boat that I take out, and I wouldn't take out a diver that was freeshafting because they would most likely injure fish and loose gear. Not like grouper that u can find in a cave dieing...
Still got the 75cm viper if your interested, I just noticed I replied to that thread with gibberish or something that had nothing to do with that thread. Shit that happens when you reply from your phone.
