I think Ive seen all your videos (sea ones) now and watched many others - you present really well with open honest content and the food prep just gets better, cheers :)
Awsome. It’s good to know that even the most professional spear fisherman miss sometimes or don’t get a solid shot in.
I love the footage of the fishes the schools the rays the drone action really helps out your videos and I’m glad you’re doing great Ollie just an amazing thing and to share everything before Christmas and at Christmas that’s another huge part of it that’s why we go out there, right , I love to come back with a big catch and share it with everybody. Thanks again,
my friend.

Thanks Jordan, Appreciate it mate. All the best out there! Great sport
as always great video ollie
Been checking everyday for your new videos and what a way to start the year.What an epic fishing session with that all that kingfish!Its always a joy to watch your videos,keep up the good work.Btw on New Years day I caught my first kahawai, off a jetty here in Auckland,two of them on a sabiki haha.Hopefully my first legal snapper and kingy next.All the best and keep safe,dude.
Cheers Rory! That’s awesome to hear mate I still remember my first kahawai. Good luck out there mate, the best fishing to come yet
Love the music on this one bro and the fishy bit! the crayfish at christmas was super yum as well
Hey Ollie, from my understanding the cracking sound is the Kina eating at the weeds
A few people have said this!! Interesting
Awesome content as usual bro. Well done. Looking forward to your future endeavors.
Much appreciated! Thanks for the feedback.
Awesome content as always brother, my kids love watching your channel !
Thanks! Thats what I want to hear, love sharing my adventures and hopefully inspiring the next generation!
Great video as always bro! Nice to have you back!
Thanks bro! Cheers for the comment mate
Sick video mate..
I highly recommend to be clipped onto a belt reel if you don’t have one already..
In the event of a muzzle wrap you can safely let everything go of everything and resurface..
Keep it up 👍🏻
Yeah I’ve got a belt reel, keep meaning to re attach it!
Kia ora bro I’m a late comer to your vids, but am impressed with your approach sustainable respectful and mate you always make me hungry hahahahah love that the Kina are left alone hahaha well done great vision nga mihi nunui ki a koe ! Respect
Awesome video to start the year🤙🤙 that blue suit looks wicked 👌👌
Cheers mate! Yeah man I'm loving it
Intro music giving me Big Lez vibes
Great show!
Mean video mate. Really enjoyed this one!
Cheers mate! Good to hear !
Recently checked on your videos and i'm loving them going through all of them and they are very entertaining just started spearfishing myself so the tips help out as well!
Hi Jack, wicked mate! Good luck out there and thanks for the feedback !
Amazing
Another wicked video 🙌🙌
Thanks Jack, Happy to share mate
Good for kings yewww!!
Yeah bro, Plenty about!
Loving the new cut 👍
Haha thanks mate
Fuuuuuu great vid brah! Your drone flying an camera work is on point. I was waiting to see if your drone would fly into the mast of one of the boats on your way out lol. 💥
haha cheers mate. It came close!!!
Awesome vid bro well put together, churz
Thanks bro! appreciate the feedaback!
Well done mate
Epic bro! Awesome mission 👍 Cheers
Cheers mate!!
How good, love the content bro
Thanks Karl!
Great one bro all the way from Aussie 😎
Cheers maaaate!
👍👍👍🐟good luck!
Thanks 👍
Nice Ollie, I might have to try the king frame on the bbq like that, it looked bloody good & easy😎
Yeah mate too easy
I love how you chuck the kingy on the bbq like that! I love to do things whole if I can, just too lazy to clean and fillet haha
Yeah mate nice and easy!
Another great vid. Thanks mate.. I know you're busy making these vids.. would love to see how you sharpen your shafts, how often etc etc... thanks again...
Cheers Craig! if they only need a tickle up just use a good steel file at home. if very blunted from a rock etc then use a bench grinder/angle grinder is confident enough. If you dont have the tools, then take it into your local spearfishing shop and they will sharpen it up for you for free. if they dont do it for free then move onto the next store!
Ha nice new flippers bro Seabuck really working hard for you.great to see you in a 3,5mm makes such a difference.
Yeah mate 3mm suit the way to go in summer!
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit It shore is . Less weight more manoeuvrable , you feel much lot cooler and it's that much more 😊 fun after all it's why we enjoy diving.
Yep. All that crackling noise comes from anything and everything that touches the reef.
Walk through your house. Do a few normal tasks. Even setting a cup down as soft as you can makes a tap noise. Walking and touching anything makes a noise. Life is noisy! The afterlife is always banging on the walls of reality yelling keep it down down there. We are trying relax and transcend up here!
True!
Nice ladder on that boat, beats having to get your fins off to climb a ladder with closed sides, seems all American made boats have closed sides ladders.
Hey Dean, Yes it's awesome. Very well designed and though out boat!
Fab Ollie love the vlogs bro NZ is super spectacular you are living in paradise. Keep up the good work mate what spear gun do you use ?
me and the bro were in cooks as well
Nice! great place
Nice video
Thank You ! cheers for the comment
Was that some cheeky gas at 33:55...??? hahahahahhhh
Haha most probably mate 🤣
Another great trip Ollie.
Really enjoy content even the audio.
Who's the artist ?.
Mint,.
Hey mate, cheers for the comment. Really unsure mate, just random royalty free tracks from the internet
Sick
Thanks mate
Kina make those noises when feeding and the small crayfish use that sound as a homing beacon to travel back to as they get older. Where there is kina and seaweed there should be crayfish
unless its been thrashed !
Cheers mate! Yeah, Usually a good sign but more and more places are getting thrashed unfortunately!
Good one 2minute noodles
haha Cheers Stephen, Haven't heard that one for a while
Lol, I’ve also missed a 2nd shot on a Kings and think it’s easier if you don’t get too close
Yep Totally agree there!
New to your channel bro,MEAN vids.
Cheers mate!
Great video Ollie,
How to you find all these great spots, its something I struggle with?
Cheers mate
Cheers mate. A bit of googling edge google earth and just exploring in general. The best spots you won’t find much info online! Got to get out there and search
Hey bro where’d u launch from I’ve never really done fishing on east coast of aucks always been out west
Cheers keep up the mean vids Chur
Hey mate, up towards Kawau. Plenty of options to launch up there
Brilliant content as always dude! Just wondering if you've done a talk through of your smoking process that I've missed? If not I'd be really interested to see it!
Hey Felix! Cheers for the comment. I really don't consider myself much of a smoker so haven't done a full run-through. Once I get a bit better perhaps I will!
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit haha, you kiwis don't muck about smoking ay, I look forward to it brother, keep up the good work 👍
Be cool if you said where you was. Don’t have to pin point but a general area would be cool. Love ya videos though co 🤙
Mad question. In Tutukaka and a manta ray scared the he'll out of me. Seemed pretty curious. Can they be dangerous? I had Hawaiian spear on me so it kept back..
Hi Darren, Im Unsure mate. I have never heard of them attack and seen plenty of people dive with them!
Hi Olli, congratulations to your videos. On this particular one, are you using a closed nozzle on your spear gun? Is there any conflict with the pins on the shaft? Regarding your boat. That's a really cool one!! Maybe you could make a video about it showing the details and pros and cons for spearfishing trips... 🤙
Hi Andre, I am using a closed Muzzle Speargun in this Video. I am using a notched shaft, not with raised tabs. I prefer this style as its easier to bring the shaft back through the fish after spearing. It's not my boat, but very cool! Thanks for the comment
Do you make up big pots of fish stock? Do it well nice earner. Thanks Ollie.
NO, But its on my list of things to start doing!
Hey Ollie, another great video. Do a personal gear video when you get a chance. I see you banging the shaft on reef sometimes; how do you keep it sharp?
I made a gear guide vid about two years ago, still fairly relevant. When I shoot a fish and spear goes through into the reef, you would be suprised how much it slows down going through the fish, usually enough to not blunt the shaft tip. having said that, Still try not to shoot into rocks!!!
Very cool bro🤙🤙 How deep we’re you diving??
Cheers! Not very deep maybe 12m at the deepest
Where did you pick up that big ass knife,? Looks quality. I'm in the market for a decent kingi filleting knife.
Hey Dean, It's a Victorinox Knife, One of the Large Steak knife I believe. Works Great
yo ollie you should get luke rikie in a vid
He needs to drop off some more bolting first 🤣
Nice Ollie what gun do you use?
Cheers mate. I've got a few but in this video im using a Rob Allen carbon roller 1m, and a 120 Rob Allen Carbon, both with RA reels. cheers
Ollie can you please tell me whats the name of that gitar music in the background ,tnx infront ✋😎and keep up with great vids . And music .
Sorry I cannot remember exactly, it was from TH-cam music library
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit tnx i am so primitive did not ask google 🤦😁the song is called "floating home"tnx anyway on great films of your adventures component with great baskground music 👍✋.
Fuck I suck at spearfishing...... so sick man so jealous
We all sucked once apon a time!
33:54 what was that sound brada
not sure bro
As always that's an awesome catch btw you should've stuck your woodchips in a steel or thin metal bowl bro.
Thanks mate. Yeah I’m a rough bastard at times ahah and that was just a last minute addition
What gun is that of yours?
120cm ROb Allen Carbon. 7mm shaft. x2 14mm bands
That's not a knife 😂
Mean
Cheers Jeremy
Why don’t u like killing red moki
Very slimy do deal with cleanup etc. Big hard Scales. Mate with one partner for life, and long lived.. Lot's of other easy fish to spear
I noticed that there is only two of you on the boat and both of you are in the water at the same time, do you leave the boat unattended when you and your buddy are in the water? Were there any instances where that created an issue for you?
(I am not trying to chastise you at all, I am merely trying to learn from you. I know that it is an issue trying to find a qualified person to man the boat when the divers are all in the water).
Hey mate we just anchor the boat securely and dive fairly close by
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Have you ever had any issues with the boat drifting away or you were caught in a current where you couldn't get back to the boat or had a difficult time getting back?
Need to stop being such a solo guy and help your dive buddy out in times like that !
Will land more fish for sure
And he’s needs to stop doing craps shots 🤣
Chur bro
Cheers RIchard
What are those particles in the water? I always assumed fish sperm?? Not trying 2 b funny or disrespectful
Can be a lot of things, Algae, Tiny Jellyfish etc to name a few
Josh needs to learn not to take shots he's not confident with,and requiring a second shot on a small kingfish is not good viewing...always best to hit few inches above the green line to snap their spines.
Shit happens. Lots of things can happen causing a lost fish, slightly bent shaft, hitting spine/bone etc causing off centred shots or stopping shaft going all the way through, some rare times even with a properly tuned flopper it sometimes doesn’t open/engage properly. Josh has shot more kingfish then most divers I know including me. Shooting a few inches above the lateral line and you will be nearing the top of the back which will also be risky of tearing out. That’s also isn’t where their spines are, spines run directly under the lateral line. Best safe shot placement I have found is directly behind the pec fin just slightly above the lateral line. If you have enough power in speargun then shoot directly smtheough lateral line will ‘spine’ the fish immobilising them. Cheers for the comment
Why the backing music tracks? I didnt realize that nature had music going 24/7 nice vid SHAME ABOUT THE NOISE!
I think the music is epic, adds vibe and feeling to the scene. Would be bland without it
One can never please everyone on the internet. I make the videos to how I feel. Plenty of other videos to sift though of mine, go check them out, you may like the tracks in the other vids!!
