I’ve watched three of your videos today, and I’m gonna watch three more!
Good stuff! Glad you are enjoying them mate!
Yoh ollie , I watch ever video!!!! They are fire, keep putting in the hard work and it will pay too. Thanks for all the joy!!!
Thanks bro, cheers for the feedback. Will keep producing 🤙
Epic brother, that "one last look" is always worth it aye.
Haha totally bro. Often pays off
I used to live near here. I'd swim to that rock and back almost every day. I love watching your videos, I'm originally from UK so when people enquire about where I live I'd tell them to watch your vids as you capture it better than I ever could. Really miss that part of the world.
Nice mate, would love to live there myself. Cheers for the comment mate.
Are there no sharks ?😂
@@volkert7775 You get a few Bronze Whalers but they don't bother you really unless like Ollie you've just speared a fish then they can get a bit feisty. Seen an Orca in that bay chasing a ray but they're harmless to people. We're lucky here in NZ that shark attacks are extremely rare.
@@hudsonquay wow man what an experiences i live in the netherlands ive seen a mosquito 😂😂 and a pike
Nice one! I saw a massive snapper there a few years ago, just cruising in the shallows. Classic on or off spot huh. Great fish
Thank you for bringing back memories of spear fishing in the Aegean sea at a wonderful age.
No problem!
Literally 2 days before you got this big one I speared a 17 lb at the same spot. You must’ve got his old man!
Boom! Nice work bro
You really captured that bay in its full beauty and your persistence had its rewards. One of my favourite spots to kayak fish 👌🏽
Cheers mate! Yeah it's a pretty cool piece of coastline!
Nice snapper there. Keen to see a co-lab between yourself and Kerry Flowers, two of my favourite NZ spear fisherman on the tube.
Thanks mate! Will have to get up North and make that happen one day!
thats epic Ollie!, love the small tips, needing some fresh snapper
Well done OC 👏 it's the cold water that recalibrates you hey, you get out of the water you feel refreshed invigorated and it almost feels like summer again. Thanks for sharing,
Gary.
That's is Gary, lots of benefits the being in the ocean in general and especially cold water!
Just when I thought it couldn't get any better you go and nail a beast. The smile said it all.
Thanks Mark, yep was pretty Stoked!
Good example of trusting your methods and being patient. Great fish mate!
Cheers mate, yep a bit of patience sure pays off sometimes
Thanks Olly keep em coming man, great content!!!
Cheers Sam! Will do mate
Patience pays off yet again. Awesome job man
Love the way you open your videos, keep up the good work 👍
Cheers for the comment mate 🤙

Mad vid bro! Persistence always pays off as you have proved once agen! 🤙
Cheers Ryan!
That is amazing you can catch something that big pretty much straight off the beach. Enjoy!
Yep, we have some great opportunities for spearing in New Zealand. Don't need the big flash boat to get a feed!
One keen as dude ollie! Good on ya!! Keep it coming!

That's a bloody good fish my bro, tu meke. Good set of chompers on it. Congrats my bro
Cheers guys, yeah the fish had definitely munched though its fair share of Kina!
I agree, it was a beautiful fish.
Those kind of remind me of Tautog fish that we have here on our East coast of the U.S.
Those are one of the very best tasting fish that we get locally .
Great Video , that water is Crystal clear .
Oh cool! Cheers for the comment!
Wow! Awesome fish mate, we’ll done💪😎
Thanks bro!
Amazing footage as always, drone stuff was awesome.
This country's amazing
Cheers Nicholas, sure is an amazing place
They used to build sailing ships there in the old days, the cuzzies had a big slaughter up on the beach pre euro times as well, alot of good fish have come out of there over the years, welldone!!!
Interesting! Cheers mate
looks like the one Ive seen out there on occasion but always just happened upon it and not been ready...Well done
Cheers mate. Doubt it's the only one there though
Rip Ronnie. Loved that trick of clipping your float off to the kelp
😂 Rip Ronnie
wow nice fish mate... nice techniques for baits ... will try cheers
Thanks mate. Yeah, dish burley and a bit of Kina mixed in works great for snapper!
Mean bro. Epic Winter morning slog.
Cheers bro
Wow ! Think I need to work the one area more. I give up after 1 check and move on. Thanks mate!
Any spot has its lucky days!
Good work great video and some snapper in the freezer ..
That's it mate! Cheers
Some seabuck advertising. Like it. Beautiful fish, pays to get wet in Winter.
Sure does. Still plenty of fish around!
Gun intro with the shots
Been there a few times. Nice score, old mate looks like that snap from goat Island haha
We're is this
Nice snap! Be awesome to see what ya did with it.. maybe show us some of ya recipes sometime man.. keep up the awesome content 🤙🤙
Thanks mate. Will try to incorporate into further vids! Has been great i
Eating so far!
First time I've seen a goatfish in one of your vids. Come to Hawaii and we'll get you a kumu, the endemic goatfish. Yummmm.
Solid!!

Beautiful snapper mate well done 👍
Cheers Mick 👍
Great watch, as always 🙂
Cheers for the feedback 👍
Yeah Ollie
Yip u got bro therapeutic espcially when you see a cray or fat paua...nice vid bro
Thanks mate
An impressive fish certainly, it's probably swam around there for the last 20 years. I let them go myself and eat the sweeter smaller snapps. That Bay is a special place.
Yes old fish, really didn't think it was that big until I shot it. I actually think the bigger snapper are great eating. Beautiful place. Cheers for the comment
Lovely snapper patients is the key brother pays 🙌 off wonderful fish
Patience definitely the key for big snapper bro!
solid from that spot!
Get lucky sometimes aye!
Winner winner fish head dinner. Yum
Hi! that motor does look pretty awesome, I'm not too sure, I would speak with the team at Viking Kayaks!
Man awesome bro, 👍💯🇹🇹
Cheers Shawn!
Beast, nice bro
Epic vid khuzz. Tumeke👍👍
Cheers bro!
congrats man, I live in Tasssie. Hope someday we can go spear fishing together!
Sick Man! Would love to come over there one day for some fishing and hunting
That's an awesome snapper!!!!! Well done! When you say it's cold, how cold do you mean? Cold during winter for me is anything from -12 to 8 C. Cheers from Idaho, USA. Love your videos.
teno pai e tama churr that snapper was awesome
Thanks!
Nice snappers!
Epic mate!
In the future could you also show us the breakdown of the fish at home and how you package it for freezing?
Yeah sure thing!
Good fish!
Thanks Daniel!
Beast!
Sure was!
Awesome brother love the content. Have you thought of live streaming at all? Might be something to look into
Hey bro. Yes I have. Just need to update my tech gear, not up to scratch
Nice fish bro 👌
Cheers bro
nice the spot bos, hello from Indonesia
Chur brother. Mean as day out.
Give me a yell on FB for a day out on my boat
Big love and support champ
yeeehooo
Thanks bro! Appreciate it
amazing bro
Thanks bro, cheers for the Comment!
NICE!!!! 😎
Cheers!
No weight belt?? Awesome vids my bro!
I was wearing a weight belt. Cheers mate 🤙
wow so beautifully clear
Pretty good!
Nice snap there mate!
Cheers Kerry. Looks like you have been getting stuck into it! May have to venture north for a winter kingi
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Yeah Getting out there when I get the chance! If you're on a mission up here and keen to colab hmu!
It is cold alright , especially when there is a little breeze
Yep. Breeze is the killer!
He's a monster cuzzie 🤙
Sure was!
Mean vid bro
Thanks mate
Bloody legendary mate. Superb production .. how you going to keep topping those big fish though (like you seem to do every time). How about doing a catch and cook for smoked eel. I've been doing some lately, had some big ones, they're beautiful if they're bled, hung, salted and marinated for a couple days prior to smoking (I didn't even have to get wet lol). Excellent as always anyway mate. Have fun.
Hey nick cheers for the feedback! Yeah, I have definitely been very fortunate to land some amazing fish this year already! Need to get up to the tropics to target some new species (or down south). I've been meaning to go for an eeling mission, used to do a lot as a kid. Will try make that happen soon, smoked eel is delicious!
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Yeah it is totally when done right. So rich and its $85 a kg if you wanted to buy it. Cheers.
Nice video bro,👍 how's the seabuck fins?
Hard to give a full review yet. Feel quite soft going to carbon from fibreglass. Will have to give them a few dives yet to understand power etc
Hey man, reason you use mono shooting line as opposed to dyneema right through? Awesome videos by the way!!
I like it for faster reloading. But for targeting big fish out wide near reefs I would reccommend dyneema
Great video, that's one hell of a snapper too. Quick question - after you shot the first fish and you were waiting for the burley to bring in fish and you're above the water talking to the camera with no mask on, how come you aren't worried about sharks coming in for a look? I'd always be conscious of anything coming in! Thanks!
Thanks for the comment! They are predominantly only Bronze Whaler sharks up in the waters where I spear. I'm not worried about them they would only be interested in stealing the fish burley, not me.
Hey mate what earbuds would you recommend for spearfishing iv got sensitive ears and they get sore pretty quick when trying to equalize
Hey mate I’ve never used them so can’t help you out be there. Popular ones seem to be docs pro plugs and surf ears
i'll come have a trip with ya oneday mate
I would call that a great catch. Well done, and tea is at what time?? 😆 🤣
Haha cheers Deb. I actually just ate some of this beats for dinner tonight! Was great crumbed
Persistence pays!
Sometimes!
Nice video Ollie! where you got your gears? ie that open cell gloves
They are from Seabuck. I actually prefer non open cell (I think they have some new ones coming out soon)
I found a stainless cray noose in one of those crevices a few years ago.. I love swimming up there, but it has tended to be rather barren I thought, good to see some kelp re-establishing there.
That’s a great fish mate 🤙
Most parts still very barren unfortunately
Hey just wondering where you got the flippers from as seabuck don't have them online 🤔 love the video by the way
Work in progress, Stay tuned!
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
Is that aimrite barrel with a rob allen handle?
All Rob Allen. I put a carbon wrap on myself as airbrush paint was in bad condition
great video man! can i ask a question, when i dunk my gopros the audio is crap afterwards, are you doing anything when you pop up and talk to the camera or have a special cover for the mic? cheers man
Nah mate I just give them a quick shake. What gopro are you using? The later models have much better audio
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit I have few 8s and a 9. I haven’t tried the 9 yet but on the occasion I dunk one on the boat to film and bring it up to tall to it, it can be terrible at times. But yours was sweet as! Great vid too man! It’s a cool spot that one 🤙
@@AdriftFishing not sure if yours in in a housing? Mine is always km the dive suit
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit nah no housing. Maybe that’s the trick
