While snorkeling in sakagawea my brother was able to find some loners in near 50' of water laying on the bottom near a ledge that dropped even deeper. He did stick a nice eater with a speargun. 1st walleye either of us have taken outta there. I hate snorkeling at 50'. Told him to find me some at 20.

snorkeling at 50' You must have lungs the size of air bags!

15 seconds or so down, 20-30 seconds bottom time, 15 seconds back up. Less than a minute total, no lungs involved, but you have got to be able to relax down there, that's for sure!
