You don't know how happy I am about that denton! Believe me, I've been following you for a long time and you really deserved it! They are very complicated fish. I hope you have enjoyed the waters "el estrecho", with a lot of life but not suitable for everyone. You need to learn a little Spanish, and Pablo some English!!! I'm on vacation this week too. A big hug.
You graduated as a spearfisher in Europe 🙏❤️ It’s funny how much more difficult things in tue Mediterranean are. I am Italian myself and have fished both in the Mediterranean as well as various oceans around the world. I had never realised how difficult catching anything meaningful in the Mediterranean was until an aussie buddy pointed out that at the same depths in Australia he catches monster fish with very little effort. Here in europe the fish seem to be smarter, more alerted and stay deeper.. congrats on your catches!
YES DAN! SO STOKED FOR YOU! I know how long you have been working at this one! So proud of you! Also, I love the sneak peaks of the next video; it's a great addition to keep us excited. GREAT JOB ALL AROUND!
Fantastic storytelling and great to see Han Mann out diving with you! Highlight for me was the popping of champagne that was on a par with the dentex 😍😘😍
I grew up in Málaga and used to do spearfishing mostly in the Mediterranean. When l could finally drive, l went to the Atlantic and oh my, what a wonderful experience. How incredibly beautiful everything was... and so much fish all over (talking about 20 years ago)! l remember, you had to be 'very' careful with the currents (there were currents flowing deep under water, too). You needed someone knowledgeable up on the surface controlling the boat... Thanks for the video and bringing me back to my country and the beautiful Atlantic waters!
I've been so excited for this video - so stoked you finally got your dream fish. Hahaha, yeeoooww! I am sure Pablo and Rojas are grateful to have been there for your first Dentex, too. Special moments! Also, loved the cook up + celebration. Onto the next one.
Watching the second one get away reminded me of the sleeping one on the sand that tore off. Again congrats on a fish that took 5 years to end up one the boat with you.
WOW, so happy for you Daniel! Yes, those inverted rollers are next level with virtually no recoil! Once I saw your video come up I HAD to wait for Saturday morning to fully enjoy it!
Video/video series idea that I think a lot of people would find really helpful: 1 time video would be how to find spots when you're new to the sport, what to look for, what features and areas favour what species etc. The series: I'd love to see a how to hunt series. Could use lots of footage you already have and just what techniques are best used to hunt each species, how and where to find them, bass, pollock and mullet could be an obvious start but can branch out to more. I think these could be both entertaining and really helpful to us newbies
OMG, well done mate. You finally got a Dentex. That is a beautiful fish and I wish I could mimic your excited yelp lol. Nicely done mate.... brilliant!!!!!
You should most definitely come to Portugal I am a 14 old boy and always dreamt of spearfishing.My family has a intricate relationship with the sea because we have a tradition of catching tunas each year ,giant 400kg bluefins in the Algarve,with our centuries old nets ,the variety our sea has to offer amazes me and each time I go on the boat to see the tunas I wonder what else is hiding in the deepness ,perhaps you should come here or to the scores or Madeira archipelago and check the sargos here too!
Happy to see you finally caught your dream fish in Spain after the sleeping dentex and other close calls in previous videos and thank you for you videos on how you prepare your gear it has helped a lot of us here in the Philippines. I hope you get a massive dentex on your next video! Cheers mate
Just got back from a night dive, speared 5 Dover soles and this video truly made the evening complete. Just want to thank you for putting out such incredible content! Story telling: 10/10 Footage: 10/10 Presentation: 10/10 Fish 10/10 A Daniel Mann video is the perfect way to rap up any day!
Well done mate.It is the pinnacle of the spearfishing perfect technic the catch of a med dentex.Open invitation in greece,west coast during june to keep the dream alive,when ever you like...
What an AWESOME video this was to watch loved following your journey in the mediterranean for the fabled dentex cant wait for the next chapter and hopefully a 5 Kg+ Dentex next!!
It’s awesome seeing how excited you were in the beginning of the video. I think that’s how I’m going to be when I finally go spearfishing in Hawaii or somewhere where I can see more than 5 feet in front of me. Much love from Boston, USA!
Very happy that you got your dentex In Spain :) very difficult fish to catch, and you really did very well in transmitting your emotions in the vid. It's the first of many for sure!
its the culture of fishing here needs to change we need to educate catch and release we need to create re reefing programs for damaged areas of the sea in both spain and greece we need to introduce catch and release methods to allow locals and tourists to not only take away from the sea but feed the eco system and help it thrive.
Amazing seeing you on this part of the world Dann!! I'm happy to see that you had a nice time and could finally shoot a dentex, I'm still trying myself! 😁😁
Congratulations!! You will never appreciate a meal more, such a great feeling after a very long effort. For me I was elated for days after shooting my first Mu, took a year and a half only but felt surreal actually getting one. :)
@@DanielMann All about finding a good hiding spot, not looking at them and waiting. Then look over ledge lunge and aim for biggest one all in one motion. My technique up until recently was go into excited mode and not be able to wait them out. Helps after you finally get one, with the calmness. :)
Congratulations Mann! I’m fairly new to the channel. I’m not a diver; hell, I don’t think I’ve been deeper than 3 meters in my life! Even I can see that this is top quality stuff mate. Top quality video, editing, narration, content … you’ve got it all going on here and from what I’ve already binged, it keeps getting better. 🍻
A week later I was testing in the same area, with the aim of dentex or snapper with no luck, although I still saw them. I'm very happy for you, congratulations.
Just as I was scrolling through thinking there was nothing to watch! Thank you!!
Hope this helps!
Exactly!

Thank you Pablo, yes so many languages to learn a little about 🤣
@@DanielMannnext time call me!! @pablo avisarme cabrones ahahaha
So cool to see you finally secure a dentex! There's nothing like success after a long, hard hunt. Congratulations Dan!
Five years and 10:40 on the video and finally you got it. Congratulations 🎉👏🎉 I'm so happy for you My friend.
A great video with a lot of fun catching new fish and knowing their names in Spanish is a great experience
Good on ya for sticking with your goals and dreams Dan! So happy you could take the rest of us along with you. Stoked for ya buddy!
Cheers Russell!
So happy for you. Great to see regular videos from your trip.

Great video, and your interactions and effort to get to know other cultures through spear fishing is great, i’d love to see you coming to galicia!
Yes! Nice work! That gun looked super smooth too!

Looks like a pretty sweet reward. Thanks for all the great videos.

Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed your footage. Take care from New Jersey, USA👍
Good on you mate. That’s some hard work paying off. Like the vermut at the end too, that’s living.
well done, nothing like that feeling of a quest fish. these are rare moments. the dentex is indeed the king of the Mediterranean .
YES DAN! SO STOKED FOR YOU! I know how long you have been working at this one! So proud of you! Also, I love the sneak peaks of the next video; it's a great addition to keep us excited. GREAT JOB ALL AROUND!
Thanks Jack 🙌 The stuff from Sicily is pretty crazy with all the caves we found.
@@DanielMann can’t wait. Thanks! 👍🏼

Congratulations 👏 it is a dream come true for every spearo!!
Great fish Dan! Congrats.
Cheers Doug! Hope you’re doing well & the garden is thriving.
Congrats dude! They look like they behave much the same as our snapper - super flighty!
For sure, sometimes they just won’t come any closer.
For sure, sometimes they just won’t come any closer.
It’s awesome seeing how excited you were in the beginning of the video. I think that’s how I’m going to be when I finally go spearfishing in Hawaii or somewhere where I can see more than 5 feet in front of me. Much love from Boston, USA!
Thanks Bruno, I hope you love the clear water when you find it.
Brother Congratulations on the Dentex
👊😎
Congratulations on the Dentex!
Thanks Joachim!
Very happy that you got your dentex In Spain :) very difficult fish to catch, and you really did very well in transmitting your emotions in the vid. It's the first of many for sure!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great to see you got the Dentex! Lots of love from New England. I'm heading down to Cape Cod today (07/22) to try and land a SkipJack. Wish me luck!
Hope you shot a big one!
Congratulations mate!
Ι spearfish in Greece specifically in Rhodes and everytime I see a spearfishing video in Spain I feel like I have still hope for Mediterranean Sea
its the culture of fishing here needs to change we need to educate catch and release we need to create re reefing programs for damaged areas of the sea in both spain and greece we need to introduce catch and release methods to allow locals and tourists to not only take away from the sea but feed the eco system and help it thrive.
Awesome! Congrats mate!
Thank you Luke 🙌
It’s about damn time! Haaha, CONGRATS!
Thanks a lot 🙌
That is some high pitched squealing! 😂
Very cool video and great fish. A very solid first dentex to open your account. Congrats mate 👏👏
Thanks Kevin, you’d love the diving around there.
Compliments for your first dentex, very beautifull fish.
Ciao Daniel.
Grazie mille Mario.
Amazing seeing you on this part of the world Dann!! I'm happy to see that you had a nice time and could finally shoot a dentex, I'm still trying myself! 😁😁

I reacted the same when shot my first bass hopefully I can get a dentex!
a little ground pepper would also be great to add at the time of cooking
Sooo hungry now…… envious as well 🤩
