Alexandre Touchette interviewed me on a Wednesday evening in September. We had trouble finding the right fish for the cooking footage but we prevailed! It’s all in french but i know you guys love it 😉 http://ici.radio-canada.ca/regions/Montreal/2016/10/11/001-chasse-sous-marine-fleuve-saint-laurent-montreal.shtml
After five years of absence, I went to the Mass Open! Jay Moore was nice enough to let me join the Rhode Island Freediving Club, following payment and a promise to give him my first child… It’s an exclusive club! I was really insecure after such a long absence from competitions. I didn’t know all… Read More »
Winter 2013 2014 is especially cold in Montreal… Regardless, last weekend, perhaps due to a form of cabin fever or temporary seasonal insanity, we convinced ourselves spearfishing was a good idea. -10C was an improvement compared to other days of January. Actually any day with temperatures above -15C were celebrated. But, -10C remains way too… Read More »

Last year I spent a four days on Block Island with Professional Wrestler Eric Young. My challenge was  to prepare him to spearfish at the Race. Obviously, the Race is not a place where you take new freedivers. Actually, no one should dive there given the speed of the current, the darkness of the water, the dept,… Read More »
Here is the Tbar speargun prototype test video. This speargun was built for entertainment value alone. I do believe this sort of off the wall design helps me rethink my spearguns. Spearfishing with this prototype is quite feasible though. I don’t thing spearfishermen would hesitate one second to bring this thing spearfishing. The prototype was… Read More »
After shooting a winter spearfishing episode of Off the Hook, Extreme Catches with Eric Young (you can find it on torrents, it’s season two) we continued fishing in the icy waters of the St-Laurent. JJ and me had our big mittens and all the winter neoprene trimming required. I got so used to shooting with… Read More »
Not spearfishing but who cares? You can see more of that stuff on miami2montreal.com Most of the sailing stuff entertwines with the freediving.
Last October, I bought a 27 foot sailboat and I eventually sailed to the Bahamas. I stayed in Bimini most of the time since the good fishing is on the west side of the island string and the wind is invariably from the east… Anyway, it’s a really good setup for spearfishing. As you may know, in… Read More »
More and more often, the St-Lawrence Seaway becomes so warm that it is possible to dive without a wetsuit. It seems each new year we beat the previous’ year heat records. Here I am feeding tooty bluegills in my speedo.
