Love how each species has their own characteristics and techniques to hunt them. Great video mate, glad that Vermicular Trout footage was helpful! Cheers, Strick.
@@addidixon6185 Would love to dive with Dan the Mann... but just not in anywhere below 25 degrees 🥶Haha! Maybe a Doggies trip to the Pacific Islands when we are allowed to travel again?
Your editing never ceases to amaze, I hope soon enough you'll be able to do this full time if you wish to. I'm sure lots of people have already mentioned collaborating with YBS or Nick Fry and I think it would do a great deal to increase the reach of your videos. cheers
I’m a bowhunter not a spearo but your vids are one of the very few I can sit and watch the whole thing. I love the cat and mouse of both sports and having to learn your game’s habits and mannerisms is all part of the fun and going that extra mile makes you a better hunter. Can’t wait for the next one mate, regards from Warwick QLD👍
Daniel Mann Yeah mate I’ve been chasing them the last few weekends, the big fellas are playing hard to get, their answering the calls but not coming into bow range, I had a young stag at 13m last week and my drop away rest played up and sprayed the arrow big time. I’m having another crack at them this weekend and have a pretty good plan so fingers crossed
Awesome video as always from the Mann himself! Really got me pumped to do some overseas diving, they look like a fun fish to hunt. And I honestly can't tell you enough how well put together your videos are, they're superb. Thanks for keeping us entertained during lockdown!
Very informative and interesting video on Coral and Coronation trout. Thanks for putting this video together Dan. This will help inform and educate current and future generations of spearfishers.
sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Rory Cayson Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Great content as usual Daniel. As you were running through the list of trout by their proper names I literally asked myself how are you pulling that off in one shot. We appreciate the effort that goes into perfecting these video. Keep em coming. Looking forward to the next one as always! 🍻
Quality content 💯 Here in st.kitts we have one type of coral trout ...We call it the butter trout ..Its black and white before you spear it then it goes either high red or light brown in colour...They only grow to about 2lbs thou.
Well done Dan! I loved the shots on the old Yellow Sub! I remember you spearing 2, You inspired me to get one. And I have! Keep up you great work. Kind regards Peter
Thanks Daniel. Love your style of editing. No ego, just awesome footage and great knowledge. I've only been spearfishing for three years and have learnt so much from your content. Keep them coming!!! By the way - we get trout 90km+ offshore on our fishing missions here (50m depth). Cheers from the Pilbara 🤙
That was freaking awesome! My one and only Coronation Trout taken off Musgrave is the highlight of my spearing career to date. I must have chased 20 or 30 of them over the last 5 years .... such a cunning, beautiful and delicious beastie.
Daniel Mann Hi mate. Went out with my son on weekend and got a few nice Dhu fish. He got a 17kg one which was fantastic. We can still fish here which I’m grateful for. Keep it up Dan appreciate what you do.
Hey Dan, absolutely love everything that you do and videos you produce. For people like me who are total newbies with no mates who can introduce us to the sport, a longer video/new series based entirely on starting spearfishing from complete novice would be so helpful. Something where you talk about entry level guns/wet suits/techniques/gear setups all in one place, as it doesn't exist anywhere on youtube?
So informative @Danielmann thanks mate, those coro trout are definitely hard to shoot, i have been chasing a couple out of brissy aswell they are cunning as anything, i’ll get one eventually 👍👍👍
Very cool video Daniel. Very informative and cool to know the difference as I have heard quiet a few arguments about these guys. Now we know. Good job thank you.
Broski you never fail to deliver, thanks again for another beautiful and informative video bro, I can always depend on you for good content. Shout out to all spearos, keep safe yall.
Just binged all your videos in order from oldest to newest. Awesome editing. It's been my dream to free dive and spearfish. You ever think abt coming to Alaska? For Alaskan Halibut or our different rockfish, salmon. I've got a boat! I'd take you out!
Your just topping it’s every video brother! Definitely a much need thing to have on your channel, how many fish are you planning to do this on? Because they are really enjoyable!
Not into spearfishing personally, would love to try one day, but subscribe for the amazing quality and fishing footage. Keep it up. I do love a fishing channel that prides itself on quality footage audio and lighting.
Thank you for the great content, as usual! I just noticed that you upgraded from filming in the kitchen to the living room :) I used to spear coral trouts in the Red Sea. Beautiful and tasty fish.
Still in the kitchen, just facing the other way! Still on lockdown in the UK so my wife and I are both working from home, not much space in our little flat.
Hey Dan, sick video... I wish we got some of these coral trout but it seems I will have to make a trip to Aus to shoot one... My personal favorite is the coronation trout stunning fish
The coronation are something to behold. When you pull them up from the bottom they change from a dark brown which then goes to purple and then finally to the brilliant red on the surface.
@@DanielMann that's amazing bro, thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and wisdom with us... You are such an inspiration and I hope I could be half the diver you are I would be ecstatic
HellooOo from Mauritius.. ur channel is amazing and very knowledgeable.. Really hope oneday you can make the trip to Mauritius and enjoy the marine life
Thanks Daniel love your videos learned almost everything I know about hunting different kinds of fish from yourself and Tim. Thank you again from Cairns Aus 👌
Excellent video mate and a great guide to the Plectropomus genus! Just about to head out on a research trip on these guys in the Keppels - probe-tip spearing for DNA samples, so your tips and tricks should prove very useful!
Daniel Mann anything will do as long as its legal.lol Love your vids man and I’m hoping you can spear here in the Philippines soon. Would love to show you around as well. Stay safe! Hope y’all are doing well
Hey Daniel, epic video. I’m currently in Tonga doing some spear fishing, i noticed you mentioned not having any problems with ciguatera over here, could you shed some light on that? Was it local knowledge? Or is there an article somewhere I could read about it ? Cheers man, keep up the video’s.
@@DanielMann yooo thanks for getting back to me, we’re you guys diving off Tongatapu? East of west? And who did you do the charter with? I’ve read online that there can be a correlation between post natural disasters and ciguatera, (tsunami last year) hence the many questions :) Appreciate you time man
Great video - could you do a fish in focus episode on grouper? I'm currently in the bahamas and have been polespearing for "strawberry" grouper - would love to learn more about the species. Thanks for the quality content!
Loved the in depth footage and tutorial. Videos like this help pass the time until I can go fishing again. Could you please identify the long white filaments coming up from the bottom at around 7:50 in the video. Is it some kind of tubeworm or eel? Thanks from San Francisco.
Hey Marcelo, it’s what we call whip coral. Kind of a semi soft coral that comes from certain areas. If you find a big patch with fern coral in 30m you’re almost always in for some fish action.
Amazing vids mate wow i,m learning so much, really really worth while to do these type of vids, no one is doing this. so much info that makes sense and helps you become a better diver. 12 outof 10 mate.
Great footage and editing! Informative as always, keep your great work up! Definetly one of the best Spearfishing Channels out here! Greetings from Germany whrer spearing is unfortunately forbidden, so I have some Kilometers to beat to go out for a hunt.
You need to make a UK sea fish species vid just like this one Dan , i cant find one on you tube and if you mentioned habitats for each species as well it would be the definitive video on the subject .
I've only got the roving / marbled to go off this list. Also with the coros their the primary reef from on Christmas Island, I find that that if they go under plate coral whilst running they will stop an come out slowly in the same direction they were running, you can pretty well dive to 3m above the plate an get a shot every time.
@@DanielMann Christmas is pretty slow on reef speices just plague coros. Ie you can see over 50 a day if you target reef. Cocos (Keeling) Islands which is the other half of the Indian Ocean Territories has plague passionfruit can see over 100 a drift an than the odd ventricular an bluespot.
That’s pretty cool. I saw similar amounts of coronation trout in Timor-Leste when I was there. You could drive and seen 50 of them. Lots of smaller ones though and no real stand out monsters. I’m sure they’re there in the depths though.
@@DanielMann most of the coros here are between that 2-4kg range. You do see the odd bigger one but I'm yet to break 5kgs on island. Cocos all the passionfruit are around 4kgs and are just everywhere
Great video mate cheers ! As a spearfisher from the red sea we have the square tail trout ALOT but it never grow above 3-5kg We dont have any of the other species but the closest one is the blue spot it looks similar in the underwater footage but on the boat it looks sooo diffrent and it never grow above 10-15kg i think the highest we ever heard about and its like a myth or a legend is 18kg
Love your fish focus serie! Thanks for the tips Daniel.. Coronation trout are really a pain in the #@*! in my area I will try to improve my skills with your advices ! Great job again. Cheers from Noumea
I really enjoyed that vid mate ! Would you consider spearfishing up around Darwin ? Lots of golden snapper up there, or do the crocs put you off a bit 🤔
Thanks Dan, awesome vid as usual. Are there any specific conservation issues with these famous fish? Also, I have done lots of free-diving in the tropics, never spearing though, and see loads of fish I assume are coral trout. They look quite distinctive in this video, could I be mistaking other fish for coral trout, or are they just quite abundant?
They are listed as least concern on the IUNC red list, at least for bar cheek, leopard and blue spot. A lot of the smaller females are caught for the live trout trade from Queensland. They also have a closed period each year based around certain moons for spawning purposes which helps protect the fish stocks. They can be quite prolific in some areas and also very docile.
Love how each species has their own characteristics and techniques to hunt them. Great video mate, glad that Vermicular Trout footage was helpful! Cheers, Strick.
Super helpful, made this video what it is. Cheers legend!
Go on a diving trip together plz🙏
It would be the best footage ever ❤️
@@addidixon6185 Would love to dive with Dan the Mann... but just not in anywhere below 25 degrees 🥶Haha! Maybe a Doggies trip to the Pacific Islands when we are allowed to travel again?
Don't you say that if it could never happen :) Sounds like a stunning 2 x 30 Minutes in front of my Screen :D
Back to basics my ass. Take it as it is or go eat potato chips on your fartsy couch with xour 4k tv rig.
You learn something new everyday. Esp when Dan uploads.
You talking about trout or DaVinci 😂
Daniel Mann def both lol

hi daniel just wanted to say that you are a big inspiration throughout these hard times and you have got me into spearfishing thanks
Thanks Charlie!
Very informative and interesting video on Coral and Coronation trout. Thanks for putting this video together Dan. This will help inform and educate current and future generations of spearfishers.
Thanks Adam! It has been pointed out to me I got the wrong Ashmore reef for your record vermicular, my apologies.
@@DanielMann Yes it was caught at the east coast Ashmore Reef a long time ago
Wow that was a mouth full of Latin 😂 Beautifully shot as always and full of useful info! Getting me hyped to try some spearfishing this year!
I think I still stuffed up the pronunciation on some of them. Latin is not my strong point, nor anything other than English for that matter.

Here in st.kitts we have one type of coral trout ...We call it the butter trout ..Its black and white before you spear it then it goes either high red or light brown in colour...They only grow to about 2lbs thou.

We can all relate to that, cunning things.
Hi Dan. Love your arm chair reflective style. You have a great story and thanks for sharing it! Steve. Perth WA
Thanks Steve, not much else I can do in the way of videos at the moment in UK lockdown 😞
Daniel Mann Hi mate. Went out with my son on weekend and got a few nice Dhu fish. He got a 17kg one which was fantastic. We can still fish here which I’m grateful for. Keep it up Dan appreciate what you do.
That was insane. Learnt so much. Now I know why I have never seen a big 'Football' trout. Great job!
Thanks Chris! They used to be separate records in Australia. I think the footballer was in at around 6kg.
Love a good fishy nerd session 😍
Hey Dan, absolutely love everything that you do and videos you produce.
For people like me who are total newbies with no mates who can introduce us to the sport, a longer video/new series based entirely on starting spearfishing from complete novice would be so helpful.

It’s definitely in the cards to do a series like this.
Most underrated youtube channel right here
Cheers Owen!
I gave it a thumbs up before the video even ended. Wonderful information
Thank you!
thank you I am doing an assessment on coral trout and this helps a lot.
So informative @Danielmann thanks mate, those coro trout are definitely hard to shoot, i have been chasing a couple out of brissy aswell they are cunning as anything, i’ll get one eventually 👍👍👍
Definitely seen way more than I’ve shot. Cunning things but very rewarding once you get one.
Daniel Mann sure are mate, we will keep hunting thats for sure
You have good videos since I started diving and I am following you and waiting for your clips Thank you for the effort Greetings to you from Morocco

Brilliant video. I seen so many pictures of different looking ones & I was wondering whats going on.
Some nice piscatorial facts there Mr Mann . 😎👌🧜🏻♀️🐟🇦🇺

Until I run out of ideas 😂
😂😂
Epic as always mate, always learn something watching, cheers!
Thanks mate, wonder if anyone has got the 7 species grand slam?
Daniel Mann yeah that would be a tricky one, proper word traveller pursuit
If only you had some means of travel to do it 🤷♂️
Daniel Mann were just trying to get out of the Goldy at this stage! This corona virus is really impeding our trout grand slam, very inconvenient...
It was long but one of your best videos mate
Not into spearfishing personally, would love to try one day, but subscribe for the amazing quality and fishing footage. Keep it up. I do love a fishing channel that prides itself on quality footage audio and lighting.
Thanks Joe, that's a massive compliment to have a line fisher subscribe. People can handle bad looking footage but bad audio is the worst.
@@DanielMann I may perhaps steal your filming on a sofa idea that's brilliant.
The sofa actually helps with audio when the shotgun mic is pointed at it. Stops reverb.
@@DanielMann Thanks for the tip.
Loved the vid. Thank you. MORE please.
Thanks Thomas, more to come.
Nice one Dan ! My first Trout was a passionfruit , very keen to tick off other species
That pretty cool, where did your shoot that? Was it you also that shot a Sydney trout?
Daniel Mann Ha ha no not Sydney, that would be cool though! With local legend Darren Harley, was speared on an inshore reef off Cairns. Very cool fish
100k special? Almost there! Keep up the good work!
I'm a long ways off that! Hopefully I can get out diving by the time it happens.

Awesome vid would be good to see more on a range of other species
Shot dan, great vid . Corination one of my favourite to hunt here in Reunion island.
fantastic....if you're gonna plan to visit malta again, let me know
I’m from sunny coast an hour north of brisy and you have really inspired me to spear fish just wanted to let you know that mate

Always good to listen and learn dude.
Nice upload.
I enjoyed it

Thanks Karl 🙏🏻
Moreton and surrounds underwater unbelievable array of fish species. How lucky are we
Some people bag out Maggie island, but I’ve shot some big bar cheek trout around it! Cheers for the vid dan!
It’s a great little place for a holiday. Seen some monster giant clams there over the years.
Yeah mate, might have to go back there one day
This is great video. Awesome!
I know what you mean about those coronation trout! Ive only ever managed to get close to them snorkeling marine reserves in Vanuatu
They are tricky buggars, love when you find an unintelligent one!
would love to see another vid on mulloway ... Definitely favourite species
