Got the perfect spot for your follow up have I mentioned I got bitten by a shark, sunny spot called Shark Alley just off Gansbaai lots of fish not so many divers🙄🤣🤣
Absolutely love how you commentate & explain what you’re doing whilst you’re diving mate. No other spearing channel I watch does that & it really makes it so much more entertaining!
While working on the great barrier reef as a Dive master i was hand feeding the resident maori wrasse when a GT came and smashed the food out of my hand and my finger ended up pretty sliced an bruises. I totally get it. Like being hit with a hammer when a powerful bite hits you.
instead of the usual diving type of gloves, try the "knife" gloves which is meant to withstand cuts from knifes. using them all the time while diving. Small nail like objects will go through but you wont get cutmarks
Never missed an episode mate, me and my dad love watching your videos as soon as they come out. Keep it up man. Also, we've got almost identical last names so that's pretty cool
So I've gotta ask, how often do you exercise to hold your breath as long as you do? With that, how long do you stay under on avg? I'm a diver..but Spearfishing looks really dope. Something I'd definitely like to try, just curious as to the above
Good thing you were gloved up, I had a buddy almost loose a finger to a wobby while surfing, had to paddle in to shore with it as he wouldn't let go! luckily stitched his finger back on. Sneaky little things!
Heeeyyyy Daniel got bit by a shaaaaarrrkk!!! 😂 once again killer video brother with a finger killing shark this time, all joking aside though, we all tend to get tooo comfortable after a while when spearfishing or hunting and thank God that wasn't a Moray eel otherwise half your hand would've been gone, thank God your're ok brother, be safe and enjoy those fish 🤘😎
Had a very similar thing happen dived down and sat on the bottom between some rocks turns out what I thought was the bottom was a wobby half hidden under one of the rocks he helped me learn from my mistake by tasting my calf
Hi Dan, is your boat a C-Ski 444? I use to have a tub like that back in South Africa with my brother, with the super low gunnel. Brings back good memories.
Fantastic place yours, with cristal clear water. I'm sorry for you who got bitten by the wobbegong. I think there is nothing to lough about it. An incident can appens to anybody at any time. Hope you can get better soon with your finger Daniel, ciao ciao 🔝👍👋👋
Got harassed by a 7-8ft wobby for about five minutes, don't know whether he was cranky or horny, didn't want my fish. There's some massive ones around these days since being protected
Did you get shark bit? LMAO This sits right up there with the shark bite scene from "Couples Retreat". You are part of an elite group of shark bite survivors! Love the videos! Love that you could still enjoy some Lobster/Cray after your injury. Also enjoyed the DIY shark bite repair.
This shark attack certainly earned a like and subscribe. That's actually a very annoying spot to have any kind of wound, right on the knuckle joint, and on both sides. I cut the tip of my finger with a circular saw right across the last knuckle, and it was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced due to being cut through the bone, but also the most annoying because of it being right on the joint. I got pretty efficient at using my non dominant hand until I healed.
@@DanielMann must be a NSW thing because Down in Tas its Cray and im pretty sure in Vic its cray also, even though the official name is Southern Rock Lobster lol. I got done by an Eel same way as you except i had 3mm gloves on so i was sweet!
That was not a Spanish mackerel but it is a king mackerel also known as a king fish, a Spanish mackerel has distinctive yellow spots going down its sides
I assure you it is a Spanish mackerel in Australia. Not the Atlantic Spanish mackerel you are talking about. Australia has no connection to the Atlantic Ocean. This fish is Scomberomorus commerson
@@DanielMann What make and size of boat? Not a style common here in the US, looks perfect. Thanks for the videos! I heard on Noob Spearo that you make your guns, I'd love to see a video where you talk about working with carbon and trigger mechs and, well, all of it. Keep up the great work, your channel is sweet.
Wanna try eating shellfish swedish style? 2 dl of salt for every 3 ltrs of water in a big pot. Shitloads of dillseeds and a lobster would be 10-12 mins in boil. Thats all. Nice and salty, they way shellfish should be.
Another great vid Dan, I find Lobbos bring out the worst in other crucial awareness when you lock on to them, either getting your body far to deep into a tight cave or not noticing the other occupants, glad it wasn't worse for you fella.
I moved from Italy to Sydney nearly ~30 years ago and I am still not comfortable with its murky waters. In Italy I could dive ~20 m but in Sydney I don't think I've ever been more than a few meters deep. Rationally, I understand that bumping into a bull shark in low visibility is unlikely but I still don't like it. As for wobbegongs, I had to jab one on the head at Long Reef a few months ago as it was coming from my silver bream.
Best. Spearfishing. TH-camr. Ever. Keep up the good work mate. And come over to New Zealand sometime. We'd love to have someone with some talent diving our waters.
Oh no doubt mate, I was more talking about TH-camrs. We do have some awesome channels, Wettie springs to mind, but nobody puts then together quite like you do.
Great to see you back! All I'm hearing is Dr Evil and his voice and the air quote fingers, 'I got bitten by a "Shaaa__ark" '. Steri strips rock by the way, also super glue if you're in a pinch ;)
@@DanielMann thanks man that's not too terrible. I'll have to do some looking. Currently training in my local pool before I brave the ocean. But once I do I'll be sure to start looking for one of those.
I've had the same happen with my left hand being grabbed by a wobbie. The wobbie was big enough that when it hit, it peeled back my skin in 3 places to the bone and only just missed an large vein/artery. Unlike you though, I was stupid enough to just wrap my hand up and wander off to a wedding. A few days later I had a nasty infection and was on antibiotics for a week. Not a fun experience that I want to replicate ever again.
Had the same thing man!! Got bit by one down on the south coast chasing crays, went into a big hole, not seeing him, grabbed me on the uppa leg and pinned me down in 8mts of water , was not fun!
Mann you scared me 😨, I saw the notification and oh no, don't tell me bro got a chunk taken from him. I'm happy you're ok bro, and when asked you can now say, " yea, got bitten by a shark before", 😁. As always bro never a dull moment with the vids, keep em coming bro, and all the best to you and the family. #Best spearfishing channel on the tube.
Come on mate a wobbegong is hardly a fuckin shark haha I mean it is but it kinda isn’t I thought you were bitten in the balls by a nice bull or a pointer What a disappointment 🤪

Just in case you have not heard Dan got bit by a shark.
I Allso got bitten by a shark 😂
Think Dan has to do another vlog just on his experience bitten by a wobbie lol
Not sure he has enough space on memory card for that vlog
I got 128gb cards and dual card slots - I can go on for hours 😉
Got the perfect spot for your follow up have I mentioned I got bitten by a shark, sunny spot called Shark Alley just off Gansbaai lots of fish not so many divers🙄🤣🤣
Meet up with YoungBloodS
So you can get bitten by a real shark
@@kettlebells-ez9xi fuking sook a that glove while eating bahahah
yes please that would be so dope
Dan is on the east coast of Australia, Brodie who owns Youngblood’s lives on the northwest coast like 4500 km away
*Dan is on the south coast of England ☹️
Did I mention I got bitten by a shark?
Joshua Burch yes
The fact it's called a "wobby", adds an unfortunate amount of hilarity to your situation.
An awesome vid and a good laugh
Absolutely love how you commentate & explain what you’re doing whilst you’re diving mate. No other spearing channel I watch does that & it really makes it so much more entertaining!
Thanks mate!
Welcome to the shark attack club Dan! Q: How can you tell if Dan got bitten by a shark? A: You don't, he will tell you
Amazing video! Although you forgot to mention what happened to your finger.
Bitten by a shark! 😂
Lol
Ayyy mate, I’ve missed your vids haha, keep doing this amazing job bro! You really deserve more!
Wayyy better film than Sharknado!
Haha thanks boys! That drone footage over the reef and Maori wrasse was insane - looking forward to the Pacific island vlogs 💪
While working on the great barrier reef as a Dive master i was hand feeding the resident maori wrasse when a GT came and smashed the food out of my hand and my finger ended up pretty sliced an bruises. I totally get it. Like being hit with a hammer when a powerful bite hits you.
Man have I missed your videos
Dude I am in my 40s never even been in the ocean & your videos make me want to pick up the sport. I am addicted to the awesome looks.
Glad you survived that shark attack big Dan. Was on the edge of my seat.
Some people get carpet burn, Dan got a carpet bite.
7:54 Dan got bit by a shark!
Hahaha bitten by a wobbie, happens to the best of us 🇦🇺🤙
Definitely does Firthy 🤦
Man I’ve been waiting for you to put your new stuff up thank you
instead of the usual diving type of gloves, try the "knife" gloves which is meant to withstand cuts from knifes. using them all the time while diving. Small nail like objects will go through but you wont get cutmarks
Good to see ya back mate.
Yay! Finally a new spearfishingvideo!
I'm gonna show this to my wife,,,When she gets a paper cut, she is ready for the hospital :) hahaha.
Gotta love tweed heads, 82cm jack and 92cm barracuda caught at Boyd’s bridge last week 👌🏽
honestly, the best consistent spearfishing channel keep it up
Whata welcome back! Love the vid, keen for the next few 😉
Another awesome video!!
Never missed an episode mate, me and my dad love watching your videos as soon as they come out. Keep it up man. Also, we've got almost identical last names so that's pretty cool
Cheers Darby! More stuff coming from down under over the next few weeks.
Awsome video again, keep it up and get well soon👍🏻
You can spearfish around that boat ramp aswell if your interested in getting flathead
I’ve dived in the river a lot back in the day, plenty of flathead 👌
Came for the click bait... stayed for the quality content. Keep it up M8!
Thanks Nick! Sort of click bait, I don’t know if you know but I actually did get bitten by a shark... 😂
Once again you show how it doesn't take a dozen trophy fish to make an entertaining video. Lovely
The cutting edge of lobster fishing....!
thank god he didn't get bitten by a shark diving in Australia
😂
So I've gotta ask, how often do you exercise to hold your breath as long as you do? With that, how long do you stay under on avg? I'm a diver..but Spearfishing looks really dope. Something I'd definitely like to try, just curious as to the above
I don’t do any breath hold related exercises but try and stay reasonably fit. I cycle to work and have a fairly physical job at times.
Good thing you were gloved up, I had a buddy almost loose a finger to a wobby while surfing, had to paddle in to shore with it as he wouldn't let go! luckily stitched his finger back on. Sneaky little things!
Heeeyyyy Daniel got bit by a shaaaaarrrkk!!! 😂 once again killer video brother with a finger killing shark this time, all joking aside though, we all tend to get tooo comfortable after a while when spearfishing or hunting and thank God that wasn't a Moray eel otherwise half your hand would've been gone, thank God your're ok brother, be safe and enjoy those fish 🤘😎
Thank you Daniel , and keep up the good work
welcome back to Australia
Love the vids man exited to watch!
sick vid bro hope ur hand is allg
Damn so happy you didnt loose your finger at least. Love your vids too your video inspires me to spearfish.
Had a very similar thing happen dived down and sat on the bottom between some rocks turns out what I thought was the bottom was a wobby half hidden under one of the rocks he helped me learn from my mistake by tasting my calf
Your legend daniel mann❤️
Good to see you back bro, and hope your fingure gets better soon.
Thanks mate, it’s healed pretty well but still a bit tender.
Reminds me when people get stung by a wasp and tell you about it over and over lol
Hi Dan, is your boat a C-Ski 444? I use to have a tub like that back in South Africa with my brother, with the super low gunnel. Brings back good memories.
Howzit Paul, this is the older version - 440.
I was really worried for you when I saw the title. Hope the hand heals up well mate.
Hahaha bitten by the mighty wobby... Nice vid keen it up.
That’s near my house in tweed that’s scales
Great video, keep up the good work!
Best vids on youtube
Fantastic place yours, with cristal clear water. I'm sorry for you who got bitten by the wobbegong. I think there is nothing to lough about it. An incident can appens to anybody at any time. Hope you can get better soon with your finger Daniel, ciao ciao 🔝👍👋👋
It’s not always good visibility but very nice when it is. Grazie Mario!
Awesome bro! Narly Little bite bro! Another awesome vid, your vibe is epic!
Cheers Rowan!
Keep them coming I have a question for you what is your next bucket list fish I would like to see you get a stripper or huge Cobia
Dentex is my next bucket list fish. Shot a few nice cobia in the past, biggest around 24kg.
Awesome Vids mate ! You definitely have to come give us some lessons . Have a good weekend Cheers
Got harassed by a 7-8ft wobby for about five minutes, don't know whether he was cranky or horny, didn't want my fish. There's some massive ones around these days since being protected
They’re quite ballsy sharks, ive had two have a go at me here. First one was small but the second was rather intimidating
Did you get shark bit? LMAO This sits right up there with the shark bite scene from "Couples Retreat". You are part of an elite group of shark bite survivors! Love the videos! Love that you could still enjoy some Lobster/Cray after your injury. Also enjoyed the DIY shark bite repair.
It seems to me he got bit by a shark...
Great content as always bro!!!
Thank you Layne 👌

Both you and the shark were like 😲 at the same time.
This shark attack certainly earned a like and subscribe. That's actually a very annoying spot to have any kind of wound, right on the knuckle joint, and on both sides. I cut the tip of my finger with a circular saw right across the last knuckle, and it was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced due to being cut through the bone, but also the most annoying because of it being right on the joint. I got pretty efficient at using my non dominant hand until I healed.
Omg 7:55. I dont know I you guys saw it but I think he got bit
Hahaha great video man!
Looked more like an eel than a shark 😂
Hey Daniel do you think you could show me how you attached the spearguns to your rack I'm making one for my zodiac! Thank Matt
It’s just bolted through the transom.
Dan Dan Dan........ Lobster really? Cmon its a cray bro! Good to see you back in Aus!
Crays are freshwater, lobsters are saltwater. No where in NSW fisheries will you find a saltwater crayfish mentioned 😎
@@DanielMann must be a NSW thing because Down in Tas its Cray and im pretty sure in Vic its cray also, even though the official name is Southern Rock Lobster lol. I got done by an Eel same way as you except i had 3mm gloves on so i was sweet!
Gotta love the tweed river
God speed healing to your hand, man... great video.
That was not a Spanish mackerel but it is a king mackerel also known as a king fish, a Spanish mackerel has distinctive yellow spots going down its sides
I assure you it is a Spanish mackerel in Australia. Not the Atlantic Spanish mackerel you are talking about. Australia has no connection to the Atlantic Ocean. This fish is Scomberomorus commerson
Daniel Mann ahhhh now I understand that looks exactly like a kingfish from the Atlantic
Its a miracle! Btw nice boat!! Great video as always
Thanks Bruno, it was good to be back out on my boat again.

I was bitten by a gray seal once.........on my fins. Glad to see not even a vicious shark attack can keep you out of the water.
Bella Daniel! Stupendi i tuoi video!
I wish you a speedy recovery lol I got stung by a flathead once. Nasty wound hey
I’ve also been done by a flathead in the knuckle. Not fun at all!
What happened to your hand bro 😂 cool vid man !

Best. Spearfishing. TH-camr. Ever. Keep up the good work mate. And come over to New Zealand sometime. We'd love to have someone with some talent diving our waters.
One day I’ll get there. New Zealand has some incredibly talented divers, the Shields family & Herbert family springs to mind.
Oh no doubt mate, I was more talking about TH-camrs. We do have some awesome channels, Wettie springs to mind, but nobody puts then together quite like you do.
Hy Dani fantástico video!! Could you tell me what tube you are using here ti breath? Thanks a lot!!
Riffe stable snorkel
Great video, hope you are ok, mate, that lobster plus wrasse meal should definitely help the healing process!
Certainly took the pain away for a bit.
@@DanielMann It was pretty nasty from these seemingly harmless and docile creatures..
Great to see you back! All I'm hearing is Dr Evil and his voice and the air quote fingers, 'I got bitten by a "Shaaa__ark" '. Steri strips rock by the way, also super glue if you're in a pinch ;)
The steri strips worked better than I had expected, much better than getting stitches that’s for sure.
Yeah they have saved me a few times. Glad they worked out and hopefully you'll be diving again in no time, more aware of wobbys now :D
Did you get bitten by a shark?
Another great video Daniel enjoyed it very much
now you are goin to turn into Daniel Sharkmann
Great video mate, keep it up!
That looks like the perfect 2 person setup. What does something like that run brand new?
Not sure what they are new but I think I paid about $9K for it second hand a decade ago.
@@DanielMann thanks man that's not too terrible. I'll have to do some looking. Currently training in my local pool before I brave the ocean. But once I do I'll be sure to start looking for one of those.
Yoooo Dan!! Awesome vid again!! Lol watch out for them Wobbies aye!!!
I’d been out of the game too long and forgotten about them!
No worries you will get back in it!

That sounds horrendous! I was quite concerned about an infection given I had another three weeks in Australia.
Had the same thing man!! Got bit by one down on the south coast chasing crays, went into a big hole, not seeing him, grabbed me on the uppa leg and pinned me down in 8mts of water , was not fun!
Painful experience!
Good to see you back in Aus waters mate. What gun are you running in this vid? Yew
Just my homemade carbon fibre 120.
poor dan it’s going to take him forever to get over that shark attack 😂
Mann you scared me 😨, I saw the notification and oh no, don't tell me bro got a chunk taken from him. I'm happy you're ok bro, and when asked you can now say, " yea, got bitten by a shark before", 😁.

Daniel what is the make and model of your boat it looks really well setup.
C-ski 440 built by fibre tech in Durban.
Wire brush and dettol for those wounds Daniel - WIRE BRUSH I say.
Felt like it at the time!
Holy shit! That's unlucky mate, hope you're good. Great vid as per.
All good this end now Max, cheers!
Great vid bro
The wobbe didn’t look to big, I normally see 1-1.2m ones
Come on mate a wobbegong is hardly a fuckin shark haha
I mean it is but it kinda isn’t
I thought you were bitten in the balls by a nice bull or a pointer
What a disappointment 🤪
Hi Daniel what boat have you got there ? Nice shooting
Hey Henrique, it’s a c-ski 440 built by fibre-tek in South Africa.
Amazing vid
