FIRST EVER Freshwater European Spearfishing Championship Lake Puruvesi
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- In August 2022 the very first CMAS European Spearfishing Championships were held in Lake Puruvesi (25km from Russia!) in Finland. I was lucky to be captain of the British team which consisted of Aareon@skyespearfishing Scott & Feena. We had never competed in freshwater before so all the fish were new to us. We had four days to scout together, learn the fish and come up with a plan for the competition days. Thanks for the support of the British Spearfishing Association (BSA), London International Club of Spearfishing, Yakkida apparel and our partners for supporting us on this trip. Congratulations to all the winners and participants as well as the Finnish diving federation for running a fantastic event.

Mate I'm never disappointed with any of your videos quality, content and editing is always absolutly incredible. Keep up the great work
Cheers Philip!
Awesome to see how much effort goes into these events in terms of scouting preparation! Thanks for another great video to make the cold day warmer!
It's a solid sign of a great video when it takes you straight back! Those sunny days (and sauna night) was definitely a highlight of the year, glad to meet such a great bunch of divers:)
Crazy to have an entire week of sunshine. Have a great Christmas Aksel!
Thanks for sharing this with all of us, this competition had to be incredible to live yet Amazingly exciting to watch. I hope you keep sharing this moments with us all. I love your videos man
I'm so impressed with this competition..congratulations to all you guys
Looks like you all had fun and that's way more important than winning. And looking forward to a haliboooooot video
Thanks for another year of awesome videos.
You’re welcome!
Great movie - as always. Thanks for sharing and keep it going!
Yet another great vid! keep up the good work. Love it when your vids show big fish! that always makes the experience way better for me (but i will never get tired of a Dentex hunt)
Nice vid mister Mann. It was nice time to spend with you team UK on a lake Puruvesi. Greetings to you all and good hunting for the year 2023!
Thanks for another magnificent video.
Another amazing video Dan, looks like you all had a great time even if it was hard going at times! Thanks for taking the time to provide another year of amazing videos and I hope you have a lovely Christmas mate 👍
Thanks mate, have a great Christmas too!
Excellent clip!
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful video, great job Daniel, the quality of your videos is extremely impressive! ...... chapeau bas!
Love the freshwater content! I live in northern Minnesota in the US near Lake Superior and Finland looks like home to me.
Fun fact: Minnesota's nickname is the land of 10000 lakes and Finland's is the land of a thousand lakes :D
Also fun fact: Minnesota actually has 11842 lakes and Finland has 187,888.
@@Art3m1s_98 interesting. Didn’t know they had so many lakes. I would love to see Finland or any of the Scandinavian countries.
@@billnu most finns migrating to north america back in the 19th-20th centuries moved to Minnesota! Most likely because it really is so incredibly similar. Alot of finnish herotage there. Greetings from Finland!
Amazing Daniel, many thanks fron Brazil 🇧🇷🇫🇮
Absolute banger, keep it up man
Thanks Daniel
Interesting competition. Enjoyed the footage. Keep bringing nice content.✌🏻
Hey Daniel, I really really enjoy your content and have been subscribed for I think a year or so now. I live in the Midwest United States so I really excited to see you post this fresh water video because that is really only what I have available to me locally. I would really like to see some more actual spear fishing next time if possible. You do such a great job at putting a story together along side of amazing shots. I know the fresh water probably didn’t yield for the coolest looking shots and I’m sure you were pretty focused on the tournament but if you ever get the chance again I would love to see more of the video of you shooting those pike and any fresh water fish! Great stuff man!
Cheer Colten! I didn't end up filming any fish getting speared during the competition as I didn't want the distraction. Next time for sure!
Great stuff all round 👍
That looks a blast! Fun finding freshwater fish Finnish fashion! 😜
Alliteration game 🔥
Love it Dan, makes me want to jump in the water!
It is nice to see Turkiye at this competition as well. Well done to all teams to their effort for such a good event and to you Daniel :)
Yet another great video with some good insights! I really appreciate the sparing use of music in this one. It brings me closer to the actual events when there is less music. This was a tasteful amount. 🤙
Thanks Michael, I wanted to try something a bit different on the music front this time, glad you liked it.
Just fantastic. Well done all of you. 👍🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Cheers Nigel!
Letsgoooo. I have been waiting for a finland episode for ages
I grew up spear fishing in a lake so this is cool to see how you went. It looks like most of your scouting you kind of did in the middle of the lake- i find that closer to the shore around the grass and roots is where I have more luck personally.
We did loads close to the shore but didn’t film much of it. Will try harder next time for sure.
Love the video like always. One day I'll begin! Just have no clue where to start in NJ and no experience in the water. Makes your videos all the more exciting and enjoyable!
Very cool, thanks for sharing! Be safe..
Another outstanding video Dan! I love how friendly everyone is at these European comps, I'd love to experience it one day in person 🙂 Is there any particular reason why you didn't film during the comp?
Thanks Ethan. Come over to Denmark in May for the Scorpena cup, I’ll dive with you! I didn’t want to get distracted in the comp and also looking in the reeds is a pain with the head cam!
@@DanielMann Ooooh I'm starting work next year pretty much full time so will have to see if I can take time off, but I'm definitely interested! Yeah thought that might be the case 😅
Funny watching this middle of the winter 🤣
Always looking forward to watch your new video! :)
Thanks Arthur!
Unortunately I can spearfish anywhere except in my home country. Any tips how to book progress while I'm in the Netherlands?
@Arthur Diepersloot can't you spearfish in het grevelingenmeer? I was sailing there this summer and clear water and full of seals so there must be some good fish in there too? I wish I had some gear when I was up there... and maybe look for lakes with clear water?
I would really like to get into spearfishing but I live here in Finland. This video really encouraged me that its possible and likeable here even though the visibility might not be the best
It’s a great community, get involved for sure!
Suomessa tossi on hyvä kaveri
Amazing video ❤ I would love to see you go spearfishing in southwest Australia
cracking video dan merry christmas and a happy new year!
Cheers Liam, you too!
Cheers Liam, you too!
Отличный фестиваль! 😀
Can’t wait to see you come over to New Zealand Daniel! Would love to show you around a few spots but I’ve just broken my leg, keen to see you get a nice kingy and live vicariously through you haha good luck!
Thanks Kane, been and gone sadly but did get onto some nice fish while I was there. Hope the leg heals quickly!
Looks like fun!
Would be fun to do fresh water spearing
Awesome video, Daniel.
Great interesting Vid Dan spearing in the fresh and the camaraderie looks amazing.
Would be cool to take out some carp in NSW one time. Lots of fun!
Brilliant
i am scared of diving fresh water, this video gave me an idea how it feels like. ill try it soon at Minit lake, Philippines, 4rth largest. great video as always sir. thanks for sharing..
Only spearfishing content my mrs will willingly watch with me!
You’re welcome 🤣
Great video, great flashbacks. Hold your breath, remember, its remedy for your lungs ;) - Ivan
Thanks Ivan!
Great video, thanks for sharing. As a mostly freshwater spearo good to see. Come spearfish in the USA!
What lakes do u spearfish and what kind of fish? ✌️
Thank you, DMann!
Hey Daniel, quick question about Polosub fastening. I have seen that in your 7 mm you have frog and in the 3 mm you have Velcro. Which one is better in your opinion and why?
Hey Maciej, I prefer the single frog. The velcro was on a very old suit but I don’t like it that much.
Great vid Dan. What spearguns have you used there? 3m visibility is great for lakes. Mostly i use 55cm pneumatic gun Pelengas Varvar. Probably one of the best guns for fresh water spearfishing.
Українці молодці! Вітаю Олександра.
Absolutely Epic! Ask Santi to show you the dentex around Asturias ! He is the master!
I’ve heard he’s amazing and of course got a great result here. Will be interesting to see him at the world championship in Laredo 2023
Great video Daniel! As we can see from the video the visibility is not the greatest in those huge lakes here in Finland, but that makes competition much more interesting atleast my opinion. If you keep searching here are a lot small lakes and ponds with chrystal clear water and huge perchies and trouts over there 😊👍🏻
I dived in a smaller lake a few year ago near Oulu but it was November and never found any fish. Visibility was incredible though.
Man, i wish i wouldve known you were here! D:
Grande Santi Lopez!!!
Best content like always keep up bro🔥🔥💪
Love your vids
Thanks!
Thanks!
Awesome video mate!
Cheers Tony!
I'm just curious to know if all these people have better places to dive or is this as good as it gets for them. Hello from palau
Süper 👏👏👏❤
Good one Daniel!
Grazie Carlo!
I wish spearfishing was legal in Sweden
Nice...
Complimenti ciao Daniel.
Prego fratello!
Great video! Will we be seeing a British team at Freshwater Worlds next year?
You did lost a baggage? haha. Same with my Old friend from Dublin to Istanbul, Then from Istanbul to Phil his baggage when to another destination😂
How do you find out about these competitions?
Being part of the National governing body for spearfishing. Each country has their own.

Very nice video idol…
Cast n release.. i dont get killing for winning! Totalt skinny summer Pike!
Love to see a catch and cook for rudd and bream 🤣🤣🤣
we are making canned fish out of them nowdays. DR.Jaatinen introduced this to us and it's gooooood!! I hear Russians make salted Roach that is supposedly amazing with a beer.
The ending though…. How was the sauna? Classic video Dan
Sauna was fantastic!
i am from near puruvesi only 18km
I didnt understand why the turkish team was sent to the back of the line for using a plastic bag? can you explain the rule a little more please?
It’s an unfair advantage because it stops natural dehydration of the fish. If there are 50 people to weigh in and you are last those few hours in a hotter climate like Greece could be the difference between a fish weighing or not.
@ 10:50 😂
Great experience! Did all that fish get eaten?
Yes, all processed and eaten.
Spearfishing in fresh water is much more easy than salt water because of the water quality as in there is no waves and you dont need to go as deep and the gear requirements are much less and most of my spearfishing is in lake taupo new zealand for catfish
what happens to the fish after
All gets processed and eaten!
@@DanielMann nice to hear
gg
Hey, Daniel, check your video description. "In August 2023" obviously is 2022.
Well spotted 🤣
Great video, not eaten Pike for a while, seem to recall many bones! Very impressed with the time travel element to the competition, reminds of a limerick, There was a young lady called Bright, whos speed was faster than light, She left one day in a relative way, And returned the prevoius night! Love the videos Daniel!
As a corse angler it’s hard to see fish being pointlessly killed. What happened to all the fish
They were all processed and eaten. Catch and release fishing kills fish all the time as well with poorly hooked fish or barotrauma, end result is the same except we don’t waste the fish by eating it.
When killing those big pike/perch you remove some of the best genetics in the lake. There are not many of those.
Interesting video. Personally I only kill to eat.
What the hell is Santiago Lopez Cid doing there and how the hell did he win on fresh water. That man is a legend here in Spain
I guess he’s there winning 🤣
Loce your videos, but miss some spearfishing footage and tipd
HALLLLLLIIIIIIBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT
terve this means hi, hello
Do you eat the fish?
Yes
@@DanielMann witch taste the best? I gues pike
Perch for me
Santi Lopez Cid is capable to catch good fishes in a spa pool !!!!!!!!!!
I’ve heard!
As a sports fisherman this just hurts to watch
Why. you get some random fish on a rod that might survive or not. But spearfishing you get what you want
Has anyone ever told you that you look alot like Paul Oakenfold? :)
First time hearing that one!
In Alaska we have a way bigger pike! You should come shoot them!
The coarse anglers in 🇬🇧 are loosing their minds 😂
Not so much losing our minds as wondering why anyone would want to kill something they are not going to eat. Given the water quality it's a surprise that the fish are so small don't you think?...
All the fish were processed and eaten.
i have a cabin on a island on puruvesi any of you wanna visit?
Freshwater guy here. You were probably pissed
to find freshwater fish tastes terrible compared to salt water fish
A shame they shot those nice perch. Don't mind shooting the small stuff but when you shoot actual nice sized fish it's sad.
Kinda the same with those 4-5ish kg pike.
Do you just kill the fish for the killings sake? Perch are good to eat, but the other fish?
All the fish were processed and eaten.
not enough underwater clips, why not use a gopro while spearing, to see what your doing (maybe it was said in the video, but i couldnt bother watching it all when i dont even see stuff)
I don’t often use them in competitions as they are a distraction. Plus the get stuck in the reeds.
Super cool! But i dont get rid of the feeling on how many ways to cheat there are...
Preping spots
Preping fishes
....
lol very fascinating, here in italy is forbidden to spearfish on cloesed waters...
I see people doing it in Lago De Garda a lot!
@@DanielMann Only Garda, Iseo and a lil portion of Como lake are regulated to do so. 3 lakes for a country 0_0
Are these fish eaten? Seems a shame to spear a massive pike purely for a photo and comp?
Everything gets processed and eaten
@@DanielMann good to know, in the UK these fish very rarely eaten but in Europe much more popular.
Pike is amazing to eat 👌 in belgium we always eat them if they're big enough! I guess pretty much any fish that eats other fish is good eating. Those are the fish I hunt in Australia now
