I don't remember saying I could swim without a wetsuit, no weights or fins in 59 degree water for three minutes on one breath. I said a 3 minute breathhold, which was timed in perfectly calm warm water, after properly prepping my lungs. It should be obvious that jumping in ice water will more than cut your oxygen level in half, then kicking down with no fins or weights and spending precious energy will give you twenty seconds at best. But, thanks so much for clearing that up, Chris.

Even though I have a great breathhold, topping out around three minutes. Swimming down in your underwear without a mask in five feet of visability didn't help my cause.

You are being really sensitive there Josh.

Not that it matters, but you stated you have a great breathhold topping out around 3 mins, it does not say anything about static training in calm waters, so I was astounded by your breathhold. That is all, nothing more, nothing less.

chris - I read it the same way.

I freedive and have lots of friends that do.....I was thinking "what a load of BS". I swam and played water polo all the way through college and nobody I knew could do that... These were guys on full scholarships who were invited to Olympic trials.

Josh's explanation clears it up.

Ahhhhh my favorite style of personal attack.

People make accusations, if you explain yourself then people attack you for explaining.

D_____ if you, do D_____ if you don't kind of thing.

So what's the real issue Johnny? The fact he can type, the fact he's catching big fish, or the fact he's helping others catch them as well

Was it a swat or a simple comment? I read all the post everyday.

Some are worth comment and others no... The way I see it " A sandwhich is a great sandwhich, with more meat and less bologna"

I am not a follower, cause I don't like the view!

And what have you brought up to the table lately? Not even enough for a fish sandwich. Go fish!

j mo · 04-21-2009, 07:28 AM

That one

in particular is massive. Your fortunate that you can fish as much as you do.

Personally I'd rather read your eloborate reports than "caught big fish on iron on 4/21...see pic"

It's ironic that people "jones" for detailed fish reports, but when the few who actually take time to post them actually do, they get shat all over....
