Nice Video. I started spearfishing about 3 years ago, i first got the idea after watching one of these videos (not yours specifically but similar high quality) I thought it looked like the most incredible thing to do. this summer i completed my first 45 Meter dive at just 15 years old. I have nothing but thanks, and respect for videos like these. They help get more people interested in the sport. Thank you.

It's smart to show the names of the fish

Those fish are not free, the time, gear, and experience to find and get them is priceless, people who spend their lives near the water have never even stuck their heads underneath have no idea what they are missing. When people know you can get fresh fish and lobster like that, they all become very nice to you all of sudden. You can either pay for the near rotten fish at the market or get it on your grill or pan before the sunset.  By the way, that is a nice hole, not too many of those fish were spooked or darted off as soon as you came in range. As long as you know bottom structure, known reefs with sand and thick kelp, there will be fish. I do miss being able to park and kick out a few hundred yards to get on a spot, life, work, location, and family makes these trips very rare. Keep up the videos, very entertaining and memorable.

I've watched this video a countless number of times so amazing I would love to see more and I can tell how much you love the fish even though you're soearfishing while admiring the fish you can and can't kill and how much you know about them!

[Speenard]

As an older gentleman once told me, "If you kill it, you better eat it." Much respect man, I'm excited to start doing this myself.

I speared a halibut about 30 years ago in Carlsbad while freediving. It was in the lagoon area where the old nuclear plant used to be and the water was always warmer than the surrounding water because they would use that lagoon to flush the nuclear reactor with to keep the temp down. This in turn warmed the quite a few degrees more and the marine life would just swarm to this area.
The halibut I speared was about the same size as this one, but I didn't have a camera to take a picture of it, unfortunately. We didn't have cell phones with cameras on them at that point in time, but I wish I would of at least had one of those disposable one-time-use cameras they used to sell in that time period. I missed out big time because I only have a tale to tell without proof. I sure did have a great day and I will always remember that until I exhale my last breath in this physical realm.
God bless

Great vid, we call Halibut Flounder in Australia. Never seen one that big. Agree with keeping locations to yourself too. :) thanks for sharing

Great video. I'm not into spearfishing myself, but I do however like to watch you guys kickass when doing it. I do the rod & reel style. Youtube is so fun to post videos. Thanks for sharing!

Good video friend, was just checking out your great channel and i joined up

[scottblank]

I get it, but I don't shoot them, not in California. I fished rod and reel for 50 years, I recently began taking spearfishing on as another pursuit. The biggest difference between sportfishing and spearfishing (besides being in another environment) is the ability to select your catch. Calicos are very good eating, I used to keep them along with everyone else, until I found out more about their reproduction traits. I'm not trying to be a dick, just passing along a little bit of information, please don't take it as a personal attack. Lol

Nice Fish!! Perfect sz. halibut. friend of mind landed a 85lb last year in Port Townsend, Wa. but it had some worms so he ending up with about 30-40lbs. of fish.
