Just saw the thread where someone was asking what to do about the fishing v. diving situation on a wreck. Just curious if anyone has ever been hooked while diving over a wreck? I am a complete newb at diving and that is one thing that scares me (and cuda's).

My friend's wife was once snagged in her BC and was headed to the surface when he had to grab and hold her while we cut the line. an exciting accident with a damaged BC bladder and a story to tell.
WOW!!!!! WHAT A RIDE.

I don't dive anymore, but I do fish. I would think a diver would put up a good fight, but don't want to bring em in the boat green, they might kick your butt.

| yes, I have been hooked once, but luckily it was by my wife who was a bubblewatcher... she is very small so I wasnt concerned....I just quickly grabbed my knife that is always within reach and cut the line...of course I put the lead in the sleeve of my wetsuit, they are to expensive to leave on the bottom...The funny part was seeing the excitement and frustration on my wifes face as she told us about the big fish she lost, but she was determined to keep trying to catch it again....I smiled and handed her the weight back and told her the story....we all had a good laugh about it......moral of the story..... Always have a knife within reach of EITHER/BOTH hands....locate it centered in the chest or even carry two....you never know which hand will be incapacated for whatever reason....

Goodness, those are some crazy stories for sure. So pretty much when diving all is well as long as you dont get bent, get caught by a hook, or eatin by a cuda/shark. What an exciting sport! J/k

WOW!!!!! WHAT A RIDE.

I also like a little h&l once in a while. usually on the S/I. I brought my brother up to fish and wouldnt you know it he hooked a diver and told me the line felt funny like it was a large anchor heading for the dive boat. i had him freeline until the diver got onboard who was hooked. he said he never even knew he was hooked. but being that we knew what to look for he never even jerked his rod. we kinda figured with the line heading towards the dive boat that is what happened

| Because of the low catch rate of divers in the Gulf of Mexico, the NMFS has declared recreational divers to be endangered and has proposed closing the recreational season on divers next month. The commercial TAC for divers will be increased, minimum size will be reduced, and season will be extended to Feb 1 - Dec 31. Gigging will be allowed.

| Good stories. Ive never been hooked but shot a small grouper one time and he stirred up some crap and I had fishing line on me, my gun, and the fish. That kinda sucked. Man don't be scurred of them cuda's (in my opinion the creepiest and weirdist fish out there) they only want the flashy things and the dead fish hangin on you. Dive the Avocet one day to make some cuda friends, those things are everywhere.

I prefer to release them; no matter how I cook them they always give me gas

not ever hooked but have been very close. i have a angler try to set the hook on me @ 120 ft i was suprised about the delayed reaction time but worked in my favor. i was making a circle around the rig when he droped down in front of me the only thing to do was grad the line so i would not get tangled up.i do not know what i would have done it he jiged me but i would think the first reaction would have been knife or wrap the rig pipes to break the line. if you have never dove a deep water rig your missing out.....
