Unbelievable Bahamas Spearfishing | Primitive African Pompano Spearing
In this video, Jack, Ricky, and I head back to the Bahamas to explore new areas on the eastern side of the Bahamas bank. This area has some of the best spearfishing that the Bahamas has to offer, and we capitalized on some incredible fish!

😢😢😢
So I noticed that there seemed to be no diver flag on the boat while you all were spear fishing. Isn't that a requirement in California?
But I did enjoy your video.
Dude its not a blue fin tuna its a yellow fin tuna
Please look it up….
Left you dive flag up while underway?
Must have forgot 😭
Ttop on an 18 foot boat ? How do you cast
T top is optional on this model. Casting isn’t that bad!
i am pretty sure that is illegal
Well I’m sure it’s not….
Wow new here love this video
Appreciate it! Welcome!
I still have a heavy billet aluminum pole spear by Ultimate in Boca Raton Florida!!
Dude you need to go back old school with a steel cable!!! You losing to many!
After this trip I did! Unfortunately I only brought dyneema slip tips with me on this trip so I couldn’t switch after I lost the first fish.
@@DerekVanHook the new braids are awesome bud but I still have biller and ultimate spear guns and spears I was diving from 80 and a lot has changed for the better but I will take a lighter steel cable over braid anyday! But you are awesome at what you do it took me a few to learn to actually hunt instead of chasing! If you can get down and just relax and don't point your spear and keep it under your body and just let the current carry you!!
Too close for comfort. Would let it swim past my buddy by a meter before taking the shot
The two distinctions are more like this... Flats Boat (skiff) and Bay Boat. The Bay Boat has the top and is for deeper water than the Skiff (Tech Poling Skiff). The skiff is intended for skinny water so we are talking around a foot or so deep. The Bay Boat is just as it sounds. It requires deeper water, but not really intended for miles and miles off shore unless you are looking for trouble. The two look vary similar except for the top and higher hull (sides of the boat). The skiff trades a top for it's poling platform. They mentioned affordable and they can be but the best makers of these boats charge anywhere from 50k to 100k. Hardly an introductory cost into boating.
Be sure to check out flats boats versus Bay boats! Unfortunately, any new boat these days is ridiculously expensive.
It's the absolute pinnacle of spearfishing achievement to find, shoot and land a tuna, moreso bluefin tuna. Big gamefish, top table fish. Spearing a tuna over 350 kg would not be worthwhile, lost gear and lost injured fish. RMY
Pole spear cuma akan menyiksa ikan, kenapa anda tidak menggunakan speargun?
It’s illegal to use a spear gun where we are. They don’t torture fish…..

My friend stuck one to big. His 1st one ever learned a valuable lesson.
🙏🏻🇺🇸👍🤙🏼🍀🥷🏽🔱🤿😁!
Wow so big great 👍
Nice spot bros, dive safe always
Aku suka
Great video Derek! Very Professional!
Thanks man!
its not primitive spear fishing at all lol. its still advanced technology. you can call it primitive if you spear with a wooden spear without a rubber band. thats not primitive at all regardless I'm a fan of the channel and enjoyed the video 👍
Very helpful video, thank you. I'm on the York River near Mobjack Bay and the Chesapeake Bay and trying to determine if a flats boat like yours will be a good fit for fly fishing and these waters.
I’m not super familiar with that area but if you are looking to get into some shallow water it might be a good fit!
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP with the blood of JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
Have you tried Baja ? Cedros Islands, Cabo San Lucas ?? Huge yellowfin 😊😊😊
Haven’t yet but would love to!
Gotta watch for sharks !!😮😮😮😮
Yes sir!
Very cool! Any reason u guys are not using spearguns?
It’s illegal to use spear guns in the Bahamas!
@@DerekVanHook Ahh! No net fishing either then?
Fishing net! I don’t think that’s legal in the US either…
@@DerekVanHook Probably a good thing!
There is no waters like the waters of the Bahamas. You guys are awesome divers. if you guys went to South Andros diving it would be an amazing trip!! With those caves I am surprised that there was no lobster! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lobster was out of season on this trip, but they were all over the place!
How much is that worth in Japan? if im not mistaken i would guess over $10,000 American money but if im wrong i do know blue fin tuna is VERY VALUABLE in that region!
It is very valuable! However, it is illegal to sell recreationally in California.
I haven't seen those kinds of scales in a very long time, we used to weigh chickens with them back in the days
They are pretty common for weighing fish!
@@DerekVanHook ok, very handy tools
First time seeing your channel
Welcome!
Are there sharks in those waters , are you not afraid of getting attacked by them ?
Watch till the end and let me know what you think about the sharks!
Che mare stupendo quando è calmo
What light are you using ?????
Princeton tech!
Probably ur best video so far
Thank you!
It looks like your shots don’t have enough power behind them. Don’t know if you can choke up more or put a stronger band on it.
I was using a fresh band on this trip and I usually hold the spear at the furthest end of the grip, the Nomad is a heavy pole spear so it’s a bit slower but gets great penetration.
Cool video guys
Thanks!
why is bro gorgeous at 0:11
It’s not only at 0:11 🥵
Can’t believe that AP got away 😭
😭😭😭
The Bahamas videos are the best.
Yes sir! I have one more trip from this summer to post!
I love the content, keep up the good work. By the way, where can I learn how to do this you guys? :)
I learned from my dad, but a free diving course is a great learning experience! The key is to dive often and work on your technique!
What cameras are you guys using to film these so clear and cinematic.
All of the 1st person footage is shot on GoPros, and I have a Sony A7III with an underwater housing for the cinematic underwater footage! The drone footage is with a Mavic 3 classic.
Also curious how deep you are diving, and how long you are holding your breath, on average? 🙏
On this trip, we dove anywhere from 20 to 60 feet. Most of the dives are between a 1:00 and 1:45
@@DerekVanHook sweet 😍
Great content, I am a new spearo and loving these videos. I'm curious why you use a pole spear rather than a regular gun. Isn't a regular gun more reliable with fish this big?
Guns are more reliable, shoot further, and are much easier to shoot than pole spears, but in the Bahamas, they are illegal. You can only use primitive spearfishing methods in the Bahamas, which is a unique challenge!
