@@1960shelly1 that is super awesome! It’s a small world indeed! We had a blast and loved every moment of it! Hope you guys had as much fun as we had!

@@PeterMeier-n9u if you would take the time to read the title of the video, you’d see that I was diving in two lakes! But you are right! No pike or walleye in little raspberry lake…

Spearfishing is a HUGE sport all around the world. It’s just like hunting. You can’t release a deer that you go hunting for either. You shoot to eat. And the whole “catch and release” argument doesn’t hold up in my opinion, as it’s a known fact that about 30% of fish die of the trauma and stress caused to the fish after they released. And given that these lakes are stocked every year with new fish, I’m sure there is no impact at all on the fishery.

@@romanomantel7548 - I’m not disagreeing with the 30% survival rate of catch and release. Does depend upon handling and skill of the angler. Treble vs single hook, barbed vs un-barbed and more. Still 30% is much better than 100%. I’m not against hunting or spearfishing. Just not 100% convinced on the current regulations in Saskatchewan in general being good for the fishery/natural resource. I did browse over suggested changes in regards to angling and spear fishing but the rationale I don’t remember the details well enough to comment.

Lucky you!

Hey buddy! I gotta be honest… I have no clue what an IG is :)

@@romanomantel7548 he is asking if you have an Instagram account

I LOVED! the burbot!

Hahahah why not?

Hi mate, for Canada you probably want a two piece 7mm wetsuit. Depending on where you live, it can be hard to come by. I bought mine online at scubastore.com. They have great products and ship decently fast. Don’t forget about gloves and socks…

@@romanomantel7548 ty for anwersing means alot to me :) I ordered a open cell wetsuit i cant wait to see it!! Exciting to jump in the water with it and see what it feels like!!! SUBBING AND LIKING ALL YOUR VIDS THAT I SEE!!! :) next question what type of speargun is that and length?

@@skinz1234 thank man. Appreciate it. Make sure you watch a couple of TH-cam vids on how to put an open cell wetsuit on and how to take it off. Very important you use some kind of lube to get in otherwise you’ll tear it the first time you use it. But open cell is definitely the way to go! Good on you! The speargun you see me use, I made myself. It’s a 110cm long with a spear overhang of 40cm. I found that that is super important when it comes to accuracy. You want a spear overhang between 25-40cm. Not shorter. I’m also using a roller gun which has its benefits and challenges. They say it has more power and less of a recoil in comparison to a normal rubber band gun. My buddy bought himself a Rob Allen gun from a dive store in Vancouver and is super happy with it. I like them to be around 90-100cm long as it helps to close the gap between you and the fish. If you go shorter you lose power and accuracy but if you go longer you might find that challenging due to the bad vis in the Canadian lakes…

Only just been there once. That back in October! Would love to go back!

Thanks man!

Yeah that’s why I love Saskatchewan. Basically the same rules apply to spearfishing as for angling! Over here in Alberta it’s legal but very restricted….

We.should fire off a letter to the OFAH. They got the Spring Bear hunt and Cormorant hunt legalized. Maybe if enough interest was shown they might do the same for spear fishing.

@@ericferguson9989 pretty good idea

Thanks mate! SK is a great place to spearfish!!! I actually thought that spearfishing in MB was complete illegal… good to hear that at least there are some fish you can shoot. Hope to make a new video over May long weekend! Gonna meet up with my buddy to get some fish!

Why? Are browns endangered?

@@romanomantel7548 not many grow big in these small lakes. We enjoy catching them again and again. So much that they get named.

@@tightline29 not to start a debate but catch and release is not the best for them fish either… I heard 25% don’t make it after they’re released.

@@romanomantel7548 that is true for people that are uneducated on fish handling. Seen many fish caught every year live until old age. But yes some don’t make it.

@@tightline29 I don’t actually think we got any browns! I mostly got Splakes and Tiger. Good to know about the browns though. Thanks mate!

Hey Buddy, the only thing I bought were the rubber bands and the spear. The rest I made myself, including the trigger but the best site to buy stuff from is scubastore.com. It’s in Europe but great service and quality product. My friend and I both bought our wetsuits from there.

That’s impressive! I feel like I could make the wooden part, but im not brave enough to make a trigger assembly.

@@aarongibson3740 thanks mate! You can buy them for sure but also there is a whole bunch of videos on TH-cam about how to make your own…

Thank you :)

Thanks mate!

Hey Jesse! It was by the power plant side of the dam but right next to the water outflow there is another channel where the water is standing still. If you dive down right at the beginning of that channel there are what I would call “concrete teeth”. Once you see them you’ll know what I mean. Your actually see them in the video. I must say thought that I was back there last may and I couldn’t see any burbot there at all… so I either got super lucky or the month of October (that’s when I made that video) is better as the water is even cooler… apparently the burbots like the really cold water…

Let me know if you went out and had any luck…

@@romanomantel7548 its pretty cool how the burbot stack up on those concrete teeth.

Hi there! Yeah it’s a great spot! I’ll be back there in 3 weeks hoping to get some big trout! Stay tuned for another video!

@@romanomantel7548 That is right at the dam correct? I thought you were not allowed to swim in that area? I was thinking about going out there this weekend, but wonder how much water they are releasing.

@@sirjessbec regarding location I just sent you a reply message to your other comment :) Regarding swimming I didn’t see any signs that say no swimming. I actually got referred to that spot by a dive shop in Saskatoon that I randomly called. He said that they go there spearing sometimes and I have seen other videos from divers going diving in that area too…

Thanks, Jurney. Yes it was. Point Peron

Yes! The water was crystal clear!

Thank you. That was last week at Thanksgiving.... Yep, it was really cold. :)

@@romanomantel7548 What thickness of wetsuit were you in?

@@pcrecreation5266 I have a 3mm full piece with gloves and booties. I lent my hood to my father in law otherwise I would have had that too :)
