Try a web search using "inuit harpoon seal hunt" Tons of goodies to be seen, including some drawings of a couple different styles of harpoons. There is a local lake which is overrun with introduced grass carp, which everyone wants removed, but no one can figure a way to remove them. Its so bad, that they are actually illegal to release if you happen to catch one; law states that it must be killed and gutted immediately after landing. So maybe this is an idea for a wierd kayak tournament!!! Kayaker who harpoons the greatest mass of grass carp wins some cool prize. Revive ancient kayaking skills and help save native plants (and thus fish) from the bottomless stomachs of 100lb grass carp.
