Return to the Arctic - HALIBUT Spearfishing in freezing waters
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- After the spearfishing trip to Norway I did in 2017 without seeing a halibut I returned over a year later, further north, deep into the Arctic Circle of Norway. Spearfishing in these Arctic waters presents it’s own unique set of challenges. Daylight doesn’t last long and during our week long trip the daylight shortened by over 45 minutes. Exposure to the cold weather means using thick wetsuits up to 9.5mm with water temperatures ranging from 6-8ºC and air temperatures between 1-8ºC - challenging conditions to say the least. The target species follow no rules, they can be anywhere and the vast areas need to be covered by swimming and constantly scanning for halibut. The crew consisted of myself & Andrew Gomm from the UK, Giuliano Tagliacozzo from Italy & Josh Ball from Australia. ALL of the fish captured on this trip was filleted, frozen down and taken back home to enjoy over the winter months. At the time of the trip (2018) Norwegian law allowed each of us to export 20kg of meat from the country because we were at a registered fishing lodge. Nothing was wasted.

Talk about the adventure of a lifetime - living your dreams with your eyes wide open Daniel. Better still you are making video masterpieces along the way. You had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through, cheering you and your mates on. Brilliant trip, mind-blowing location, incredible fish handled respectfully, and a fantastic group of mates. I don't know how you do this - but every video gets better. Better technically & superbly-crafted stories. Can't believe this is not an adventure channel on Netflix.
Thank you very much mate, really appreciate that 🙏🏻
Hey Dan, I spearfish over here in Washington USA. It’s cold here too. I’m trying to figure out what the little vests some of your buddies are wearing are for? Extra warmth or???
Hey Tim they are weight vests to hold extra lead due to the really thick wetsuits.
Trailer Yacht Daniels narration and great voice bring his story telling to a level of relaxation and enjoyment unequalled with this type of video, loving joining his adventures and sharing with my family
Great video, really fun to watch!
Very well done!!!! Amazing show!!!
Any DeerMeatForDinner fans on here? Who thinks I need to catch up with these legends and try my luck with a monster HALIBUT in Norway???
Thanks mate! Come on over in the fall 🍂
Yes 🙌
you should do it
DeerMeatForDinner, the PNW is home to some good spearfishing as well. Get after it!
Me
I didn't understand how big those fish where tillyou got that thing in the boat awesome fish
And they taste anmazing!
HALIBOOOOT!!!! So good mate
After a long hiatus to the TH-cam comments section my main man is drawn from the dark webs with a halibut video 😂
Daniel Mann hahahaha 😂
HOLLYWOOD😂😂😂😝
just here for the....hellabit
@@dcthepro1339 lmaoo
Watching this video from a filthy carpark in the west of Sydney frothing 🤤
I hate when People are spearfishing!
@@loveruoo1307 then fuck of mate.
Loveruoo 1 I hate when people go to fishing vlogs and bitch about it.
@@loveruoo1307 as a fellow anime fan I'm ashamed of you. I like it when people hate people who hate spearfishing
@@thisuploadeditsself.2938 well said
*gordon enters the chat*
THE FISH IS RAAAAAAW!
He deserves so many more subs
Agreed!
nice going. was a naval diver in Norway for 11 yrs. in the 80's. never approach a flatfish directly from behind or front -- then you'll spook them. Approach from side and fake passing. I used only a 6 ft sling back in the days...everything went down. happy hunting
600 lb pacific and atlantic halibut
I'm going to name my first born son 'Halibut" in honour of this video! Brilliant as always mate.
Kveite is the Norwegian name, might be a bit more subtle :-)
Been waiting for this vid!!!!!! Better than I hoped for.
Magnificent content as usual, I hope your channel will be massively successful next year
Cheers for the support Jack!
you know its good when the fish has cheek fillets
3:07 “oh my god it’s Jason born”
Holy shit mate, i am commenting just for the "halibut"
Hey man, just wanted to say that I am an ‘aspiring’ spear fisherman, and I am 14. You’re videos are so awesome to watch and I just would like to let you know that people appreciate things like this. It’s clear that you put heaps of time into these videos and they inspire me to spearfish.
Thanks
I think youngbloods is better tho 😔
M g Why does everyone have to compare fishing channels? Can’t they both be different and equally as good?
@@moishe3591 youngblood too much over acting
I’m reading this 3 years after you posted it, but I hope you followed that aspiration!
I hope your still at it 3 years later
Daniel that was awesome wow what a fishing Expedition that was I'm going to watch that again that whole Adventure what's exciting fun to watch great job beautiful video
Loved the vid I remember when your channel was at 10k subs look how far you’ve came. I requested this vid before happy you made it
Daniel, I'm a newbie and love your channel. What is that your wearing over your wetsuit? is it just additional layer for warmth? what thickness is your suit? Have a Gold Medal Day! --4est
It’s an additional vest with more weight in it. Jacket is 9.5mm and pants are 7mm.
@@DanielMann that was my 2nd guess... thanks --4est
Now i want to go out and look for halibut but it is -2c° where i live in norway and my wetsuit is only 6,5mm thick. I think im going to stay inside.. 😂
-2 is not so tropical. I had a 9.5mm jacket, kept me toasty in the water.
@@DanielMann did you have 7 mm pants? How did it feel in 9.5 mm? How do you carry the weights on the plane? Do you have to pay overweight fees?
I had 7.5mm Forza tre pants and the 9.5mm jacket is straight smooth skin so super comfortable and oh so warm. I checked the 5kg weight vest in with one of my bags and just took 5kg of weights in my belt carry in. Norwegian Air and SAS have no problems with dive weights I’ve found. More interested in the plethora of camera equipment I’m usually taking.
@@DanielMann Thank you. Did you dive last year with a 5.5mm? A friend went to Guadeloupe and he had to leave his weights behind as they would not allow them on the plane. I heard some times elsewhere there are problems with individual weights more than 2 lbs / 1 kg. Anyway I'd love to go back to Norway and this time spearfish. Is it very pricey? it is one of the most beautiful places I have been to.
No way I’d use a 5.5mm in Norway. I rarely use my 5.5mm in the U.K. either. I had a 7.5mm jacket. 1.5mm undervest and 6.5mm pants last year. Was 10-12 degrees but the air temp was mid teens so not so bad. Was borderline. I’d go thicker, it’s always going to be cold there. This trip was circa £1K from the U.K. with flights, accommodation, car hire, boat hire, car fuel, boat fuel and food which we brought from the U.K. and Italy.
haven't yet watched the video, but man did I miss seeing a notification from your channel!! Keep it up! "grabs popcorn"
I’ve been without a decent internet connection for the past month being away for work, wish I could have uploaded a fortnight ago!
I used to hunt all flat fish with just a hand spear. This was in the sixties and seventies but I have never seen a large Halibut when diving.
I love your videos I just wish youll get to shoot old specimen and large only and just enjoy the sight of small specimen .. so you cant atleast affect the population that much of some rare fish that you spear... anyway love your videos
unless they are destructive or alien species in that part of ocean...
I at least would appreciate if you make it a bit of documentary saying how that fish lives gettinh more video shot then target only worthy fish.. atleast 1 or 2..
"I'm waiting for a fat baccalá" made me laugh so hard.
Greetings from Italy!
Haha every day with Giuliano makes me laugh 😬
Australians always sound so happy and hyped
That's awesome, didn't know Matt Damon went spearfishing!!
ravenfan1606 😈😈
Right?! He looks him.
enhorabuena excelente vídeo, lástima no entender el inglés, pero el texto con "traductor" perfecto, condiciones muy duras de frio, las aguas excelentes y el premio da envidia
Great quality vid Dan. I plan to be in Norway sometime late next year (2019) chasing one of those brutes. It is like watching a 'how to' video.
too bad you might not be able to bring the fish back with you if you do this again. theres a suggestion for a law change in norway right now. if they do change the laws, non-residents can not bring more than 20kg of fish out of norway and it will be illegal to bring fish fillets out, so a fish thats more than 20kg gutted wouldnt be possible to bring.
Got to make hay while the sun shines eh?
Where in norway is this? :)
Mikkelvik outside Tromsø
dude i dont even know what im watching yet but as soon as you yelled HALIBUT I gave the vid a thumbs up haha
It's Matt Damon
what are the odds. I just saw ur channel and i wanted to see some harribut videos. Uploaded 1 second ago holy shit what a timing
And first comment haha! Definitely a Christmas miracle 😂
Haliboooot.
Do you need a license for fishing like that?
Thanks a lot
That's impressive!!
I must have watched this a thousand times already, but it just never gets old! One of my favorite spearfishing videos ever
I love ur suit very nice..😊 sir daniel.. but I cant afford that knd of suit..😂😂 I love spearfishing.. from philipines..
Amazing stuffs mate, im a shore angler but i do love watching spearfishing videos and come across to your channel about week ago and love them, some amazing contents, it amazes me how not many followers on your channel, i suppose people only dream of what you actually living in so they dont even try to subscribe :) keep up the good work bud and hopefully i get to do this brilliant sport before i die :) in anglers term tight lines mate
Why shoot the big boys? They are bad for eating, but essential for the speices.
They were delicious.
only a spearfisher knows the satisfaction he is expressing
Love that you went back. I watched the first video and didn't know that you went back. Big ups to such a successful trip!
Cheers Nathan! The one time the sequel was better than the original!
Halibuuuuuut hulibooot!!!
I cant support a vid that is killing an endangered species of fish..... Not a fan...wish i could be
Not endangered.
European population information www.iucnredlist.org/species/10097/45790126#assessment-information
Most people will look at the United States population which is way different.
Hey, it's Matt Damon.
My thoughts exactly 😂
Watching this video all the way in Texas the lone star state lol. Weather is getting warmer so free diving here I come lol. Plus I have to get myself a spear gun and take a trip to the gulf of Mexico for some fish mate. Cheers all the way from across the giant pond mate! Lol
Me: Why did I come here?
Dan: You came for the haliboout.
Top marks for a incredible video!
I saw your first halibut video and was so excited when you caught the monster in this one! Congrats on the beautiful spear 🥳
Mann these fish are crazy! Unreal video as always mate, love ya work
Wow Daniel that's awesome spearing. Giuliano Tagliacozzo was the iceing on the cake I think. He is so funny. Usual cheerful Italian guy, always a pleasure for all 😅😉👍ciao ciao
He is always so positive and has a fantastic outlook on life and spearfishing. Very honoured to have him on the trip with us.
You made this trip on Porpoise for the Halibut!
Omg yessss
Thanks for the heart my first one ever
Appreciate the support man!
How is it fishing in the cold weather
Makes you swim fast.
I can feel such immense energy when he screams "Halibut!" Lol makes me want to go spearfish much more now...
I'm rather upset that Jose is not in this one... his Halibut scream of war and almost losing your speargun remains my favorite part out of the two episodes. Keep up the good work though.
Joose was busy in New Zealand this time round. Hoping to get back to Finland for a dive this year with him though.
Finaly... it here, tanks for making almost 30 min video from Norway!!! This took allot og work, but it is so good, I Love it!!!
Daniel, if you ever need an extra diver let me know! I am a good cook and fairly decent spearo. Cheers!
these are some of the best spear vids ive watched , hard work . big hi from sydney australia , love your work , really enjoyed watching
Carrying halibut surfboard style - love it! Awesome video mate, one of the best spearing vids I've seen
You are killing to many Halibut..leave some for future too bro
Sat in my house in the Philippines with my new Cressi Sioux on full lockdown watching your fantastic channel, feeling highly frustrated that we can’t go to the beech !!!
Just starting out mate and found your channel, it’s awesome. Stay safe Bro ✌🏽🎣
not a fan of spearfishing but the vid editing was just mental!! well done
Epic shit bro
Even with a wet suit I don’t know how y’all didn’t get Hyperthermia. I thought I was a hard core fisherman and after watching this I was wrong.
any tips on how i can increase the time I can hold my breath I'm thinking about getting into spearfishing but I don't think id be able to hold my breath
it doesn't matter u start of shallow then get deeper and deeper
How do you hold your breath so long
There is a channel named Adam Freediver( th-cam.com/channels/zVy7DiPyVvfiOvXF_XMs4Q.html) who has multiple videos regarding freediving and breath hold. Like this one th-cam.com/video/3aXxXCXptYA/w-d-xo.html.
Absolutely awesome channel! once we done building our yacht we would love to have you guys over for a week of diving ! stay safe !
Thanks guys, keep us posted on the sail boat 👌
Peeps Can Yall Check Out Cray Spearfishing Adventure Very Great Spearfishing Channel Too
2:43
Did something did just stab my face ???
Lol great fish mate HAILBOOOOOOOT. here to send our support liked and sub.
I watching this thinking about my youth and realizing I want to do this stuff. I didnt have the money when younger and now dont have the body. Proud of you guys for doing this well you can. Jealous for sure. Great video.
Can’t tell you how excited I was to see this pop up in my feed. It didn’t disappoint! Thanks for taking us along on the adventure.
Glad you liked it Kyle 🙏🏻
It would be great for me to come there and share this beautiful experience with you, but unfortunately I can't make it due to many reasons. I will keep watching you to your next adventure. Ciao ciao mate, merry Christmas and happy new year. And happy safe spearing. 😃👋👍
Olá Daniel Mann! Também gosto muito de fazer imagens Subaquáticas de capturas na Pesca Sub! Me fale quais câmeras você usa? Um abraço e boas águas!!! #fronteirasub
Awesome video dan, you put my videos to shame😂 love your intro 😂
Nice halibuts the place looks like Langfiord.. on the finmark komune..
Nice one Daniel, if I could cast off 40 years I would love to join you to harry some Halibut .
Odd blokes
This man screaming HALIBUT from top of his lungs brings me back to this video again and again!!
Remember that you can't take halibut under 80cm or over 2 meters.
bro can you make a spearfishing course?? please, tired of looking up the individual components and skills needed... will happily buy it....
I am freezing cold now from just watching you guys spearfishing in that water. Great video though! 👍
HALIBUTTTTTTTTT
Man, when I first started watching your vids I didn’t quite get the excitement at first. But the underwater footage doesn’t do justice to how big these things are when you see them in the boat!
You made this trip on purpose for the hell of it, get it?
I have waited since September to see this video and it was worth the wait!!! Great video Daniel!
And welcome back😂❤️ thought that other video was from 2019😅
What depth?
7m
Jesus Christ that’s incredible. I need to spear a haliboot in 2019. I love seeing this cold water content, by the way. So many spearing videos (most?) are in tropical waters where I’ll rarely be, but this is right up my alley. Thanks for the inspiration.
All spearfishing is good spearfishing in my books. Every situation and locations has its various challenges and I love trying to adapt to them. You should definitely go and do it, have a punt.
Tell us where you are from without telling us where you are from?
"It's a fucken big dawg"
I am not a hater. I really enjoyed this video. So glad Joose wasnt in it. He looses and abuses too many fish. Not to mention he almost lost ur gun. Keep the vids coming. No more Joose please
wow
Can't tell you how good these vids are! I was excited watching this! Some good laughs, halibuuuut! Stoked for josh too gettin a ripper fish at the 11th hour, woulda made it all the more special! Awesome, awesome stuff!
Cheers man!
How deep do you need to go to spearfish these in Norway? Concidering going but my friends have no experience of spearfishing...
All of these were between 4 and 15m.
Halibut: "Tis but a scratch!" - A moment later (as he goes to pull it up)..."Noooooooo!"
😂
Y’all should try fishing and spear fishing on the same day or try spearfishing for some gar (they aren’t that good but hey are cool)
You are not good spearo you come in the Mediterranean Sea and you could catch a fish. If you come in Greece you will be able only to watch them by far.
Awesome, that's hardcore in those temps! Good idea to get warm water from the motor.
Hey mate u should come back to Australia. Down here there are things called shovel nose sharks, u might be interested in spearing!
Why do people make great vids and think music enhances it? Stop the annoying back noise and your vids will be awesome
I love to spearfish...this was amazing!
Wish I could make my thumbs up even bigger !
