    These guys were out in the Ocean all day to get this fish. This fish was speared on the last run of the day. They got two for the day. Obviously this was the biggest one. They were given to the Locals in NZ to eat. It was not sold for Profit or even to recoup costs. A whole village ate fish for a week. A true Legend. Thanks Butch for the Video. And thanks Gunther for a once in a lifetime shot. All caught on Vid.

      #Greg Braddon at least those locals would have had the meanest feed of tuna for awhile... I watch these north American bluefin tuna vids and they ain't got nothing on our waters for giant bluefin tuna. I'm so lucky to be a kiwi and one day I'll be in there to catch me one🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🐟🐟🐟

    +Alex Ross If you're so concerned about the Bluefin preservation then go lobby against commercial fishing like net draggers and long liners. Spearfishing and Sportfishing literally make no dent on their population.

    Willownss,
    I love spearing, it's a a wonderful feeling as a person that eats fish to be able to go into the ocean and catch your meal.
    I don't appreciate the industrial methods employed to catch fish but that in a way is also necessary.
    The saddest thing is that nobody is regulating themselves, that and the by product of fishing with nets make fishing sad.
    A few guys that grouped together and caught 1 fish which they are likely to eat isn't that bad compared to the souless commercial trawling.

    i agree with the the conservation aspect of what some people are saying and agree that tuna in general are an overfished group of fish but you have to realize spearfishing is not the problem. when spearfishing there is no by-catch, no waste, and honestly look these guys took one fish. even if they had taken five thats extremely responsible especially when compared to the thousands taken by commercial fisherman.
    awesome video and great catch, only problem is youll never out do yourself now!

    That was the first shot placed on the Bluefin Tuna. You can tell this by
    a) the single spear holding onto the fish
    b) no other lines/guns floating above the tuna that would show its being held on already
    Great shot and great footage.

    I don't know anything about spear fishing so
    Do such big fish really swim so close to the surface, or did you have to drop chum constantly to lure it to the surface?
    Does it not swim away when it sees divers in the water?
    How many guys were on the boat? or was there a second boat? (it looked like 5 guys during the video)

    Hey Megalops
    You almost had it, the tubing is electrical cable!
    I dont know how high the voltage is but it kills the tuna on the spot.
    The meat is then unspoiled and of high value.
    These guys are making money in a very interesting way ( selling to japan probably)
    Sadly these large tuna are on the decline worldwide.
    Great vid.

  • @iceman8881
    @iceman8881 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    that was just incredible! so how much would a tuna that size be worth?? are we talking in the region of $35000 if u sell it to japan or am i just totally wrong? ive heard that massive tuna fetch tens of thousands of dollars out there, because of the sushi.

  • @richarri
    @richarri 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    @ Taylor Dawson: I've done both, trust me this is much harder than bagging a buck. Shooting a big fish like this requires expert level skills. You have to 1) be comfortable diving 10, 15, 20m+ and stay steady comfortably down there as you scope and zero in 2) unlike the buck you have to be able to get close to the fish, which is not easy for big open water fish like tuna, marlin and trevally 3) only a headshot will do, if you don't kill the fish i.e. headshot bye bye speargun. It'll drag you like a horse if you don't let the spear gun go.
