you are the first video i have watched since the passing of my daughter from copd [ lung and heart ] and you have put a smile on my face again thank you Grumpy shoot straight
Very sorry to hear about your daughter Ray. My condolences go out to you and your family.
At the very least I am glad to hear the videos can bring a bit of joy in such a hard time.
Really appreciate it and wish you well.
This is so awesome man. You’re living the dream! I wait for your videos and I love watching them. Thank you for the content!
Really appreciate it Matthew! Glad you enjoy 👊
The water clarity is awesome there. That Lionfish was cool to see. I'm impressed!
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed. The water clarity was nice no doubt!
What a glassy day for spring time in the gulf.
I been watching you vids to learn the sport. Shot my first fish last Saturday. 4 foot barracuda !!!! Keep up the cool content
Dude you're my favorite spearfishing TH-camr be safe out there man. I'm glad you had buddies there to help you out. You coulda knocked yourself out for sure. Then I would have to watch aquantic apes or something. Lol
I'm not going to lie you looked pretty badass dealing with that fish while you had a bloodied up face 🤘🤘
haha thank you 👊
@@BradenSherron Your buddy who was on the ball gets kudos for being there and helping you out. I can't make out how you got cut on the noggin. Did the gun get you or the supports of the rig ?... Glad you're ok bro.
Great video bro, the second you hit that rig I was thinking damn that had to hurt. So unforgiving out there.
Digging the music while underwater instead of hearing silence and bubbles 😂 Nice catch and looked super fun 🏹 🌊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! Lol feedback for music/no music goes back and forth, had a lot preferring the natural sounds but I definitely like to change it up. Makes editing more enjoyable and adds a cool feel I think.
@@BradenSherron yeah i like the contrast of music and bubbles, nice touch Braden!
Earned yourself a new subscriber! This was wicked to see. From the first spot to the second oil rig- i was not prepared for that clarity! Love how you explain everything. Lots of great information for anyone who wants to spearfish. Ive been petrified of diving an oil rig and this just made it seem more calming and enjoying watching. Got me thinking.. Crazy us humans built oil rigs that go that deep... Such a great video man
Really appreciate the kind words! Thanks for hopping on board with the channel! Glad to hear you like the explanation as well. Diving the rigs is an awesome experience, I for sure feel more protected than diving open water.
It is crazy that these rigs are out in that deep!
Yeaa! From head injury to AP!! Cheers!!
After many years I have decided to get back into the love of freediving and spearfishing. To that end I am setting up a 150cm rob allen as a roller gun. I noticed your rollar has blue collared bands on it. Are those rob allen bands? I was told they make poor bands for rollars since they are too tight and not quite stretchy enough. I am shopping for the bands now.
what a day and a collection of fish... wow
It was a day to remember no doubt! Thank you for watching!
Oh mate.. that looked painful. I love how calm you seemed bleeding profusely with sharks around 😂
Lol adrenaline overwhelmed any pain fortunately! It was sore the weak after though..
sharks didn’t seem to adamant about coming up from down deep.
Them barnacles are hell on the helmet dude!
That they are!
Nice video and trip man. Need to carry a set of game shears on your boat and trim off the fins off that lion fish before ya throw it in your fish bag. They will go plumb through that bag. I have shot 1000s of them in the keys when we go to visit. They are great to eat and your doing the enviroment a favor since they are an invasive species here in the gulf.
Ps they make a product we carry called Sting Master. It helps 100 times over if you ever do get stuck. Great on jellyfish and firecoral stings as well.
Thank you! Great insight and definitely need to make sure I have shears next time..
I find myself unconsciously holding my breath when you are under water. Lol
Nice brotha! Gotta watch the ole noggin lol how did you get that music in there dude??? that was sick!
Thank you!!! 👊
Which song are you referring to?
Dred...i felt that shot on the rig...hope you take care of that wound for infections.
Video was great just the way it is! Thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Really appreciate it!
19:50 bang stick!!
Mate your channel is excellent! Just keep doing what your doing. Diving is such a great adventure and it’s great to share your passion Cheers from 🇦🇺🦘
Glad you enjoy it! Really appreciate it!
It absolutely is!
Hey sarasota county !!! Cab you bring couple of those rigs to our shores here by Venice or Englewood . Our waters are boring here big time
I don’t know if you’ll see this but when you shoot a lion fish cut off the spines right when you shoot it so you don’t have a risk of getting yourself poked by your self.
I do it every time and it makes it easier grabbing it out of the cooler and filleting it
Good idea. Didnt have shears on the boat this trip but didn’t even think about it.
@@BradenSherron I always keep some sort of cutting tool on the boat just in case a lion fish gets speared or caught
That was a great day, congrats!
Thank you! Thanks for tuning in as well! 👊
Congrats on AP#1!! 👏 👏 👏
Thank you!!! Glad to check it off the list, just need that 30# now!
loving the extra camera angle youve got going on with the videographer adds a nice touch!
But, if hes starting to come along with you more maybe invest in a gimble? for those super smooth and clean shots.. will up the game even further.. some of the shots on the camera are in and out of focus very slightly
Awesome bro! Would you recommend a Rob Allen tuna rail gun 120cm? Are they any good? Also how do you avoid the bends bro? I’m planning on spearfishing soon!
Thank you!
That will be a great gun to get going with. Can get you doing everything.
We don’t get the bends from freediving as we’re not breathing in compressed air!
This man is so awesome
This might be asking a lot as I know filming and editing is already a tremendous amount of work, but it would be super cool if you had a dive timer and a depth showing on the video as you take these dives just for total noobs like me who are never going to go spearfishing nor free diving And also for people that are interested to have an idea of how deep and how long you are free diving. Just wanted to throw in the suggestions box because I love your videos, but I think it would be a real cool add-on.
Stick figure! Great music...that's a bad ass panga, I used to have a 25ft one with a 150 yamaha 4stroke
Watching from philippines.😊❤
Don’t usually comment. But the lionfish are venomous not poisonous. That’s why for a long time people didn’t eat them. If they were poisonous you wouldn’t be able to eat them I love fried lionfish Great eating and can take coolers full of them no qualms with game wardens. But still awesome video brother. Keep it up
Awesome video! Subscribed. What brand ponga boat do you have? Where did you get it?
Nice work on the AP. Suggestion next school, cause we hunt them a lot in NC. If you turn around and they are coming at you, stop and sit completely still, and look away and maybe give the squid fingers. They’ll normally come right to you in perfect range. Often they turn for a sec and then turn right back at you.
Sorry, also, if they don’t come in range don’t shoot a far shot, super slowly rise and signal another diver to dive. They’ll normally follow you up a little, and the diver passing you on his way down can get good shot.
Interesting comments.
Congrats mate. You earned it
Really appreciate it!!!
Cool video!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching! 👊
Love the videos. You should do some catch and cooks when you can.
Appreciate it! I definitely do 👊
@@BradenSherron I love the videos though man keep them coming!!
great song at the beginning and great video. its none of my business but were you still able to monetize the video with copyrighted music?
Randomly found you on youtube today and man your content is awesome! You are lucky to do all these dives. Keep those awesome vids comin. Stay safe bro!
Welcome aboard! Really appreciate that. We have to run super far out, but we are lucky to have it no doubt. I try to take advantage of it! Got more vids in the works coming out soon.
Im a subcriber now so I can't wait for the next one. Probably prefered less blood coming from you forehead though✌️ Have a safe one bro. 😎
Hey nice video. I also am wondering what kind of boat that is thx
Did I also say your bloody crazy getting in there with sharks lol
the way this guy ignores stud mangroves would drive my cuban family nuts
bro love your vids nice fish
Glad you like them! Really appreciate it
Finally got that ap
Finally 👊👊 now to get a 30lber!
Your dive videos are always so epic! I would love to dive some oil rigs like that one day.
Btw I really like your boat 🛥️ epic shot from the drone 👍🏻Looks like it would perform well in the rough seas often seen in the channel between islands here in Maui county. What kind of boat is that?
Really appreciate it!!! It’s a panga, 25 feet long made in Mexico.
Salve galera boa pescaria 🎣🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Brazil
Gracias 👊💪
Bradon you are a nice spearfisher❤️
Thank you!
GREAT video! 😀 As always, just great video. You shot the Permit with a gun that didn't have a reel?
Thank you! Really appreciate it.
The gun did have a reel, but I was grabbing the line to try and keep it from running and tangling up- and to keep it away from the sharks as best I could.
Where are you launching out of? We launch out of sabine but have to go way out to get that deep. Most of our closer platforms are 40ft
I launch from all over, but this was way out haha. Just was able to throttle it down because it was flat.
Crazy how you have the record cubera and only after you shot your first AP
Excellent video! Just curious what is your contingency plan if your motor quits? Do you bring a satellite phone?
Thank you!
First line of action I’d say would be radio, then garmin inreach (satellite messenger), and in case of emergency that has SOS, as well as epirb.
Looking at going the twin engines route though!
Good deal! I will be facing the dilemma of a single or twins and was just curious.
Love the vid brother! What are the names of the songs you play in the this video?
First one is ‘all for you’ by stick figure. Others I’d have to check, they are licensed through Musicbed
@@BradenSherron thanks man! I wanted to know the first one in particular, so no worries about the others. Love your content and I’m gonna get into freediving as well.
Fisher Howard 👀
TH-cam’s weird man. I don’t even follow that many people and I haven’t seen the past few of your videos on my feed
Are you on the subscriptions page or home page?
Start digging in my guy..Dis guy's AWESOME😎🤟🤟
@@sotunijek7418 Really appreciate that!
I get some people telling me they don't get notifications sometimes... I can't explain it..
Congrats man, amazing video. Just a question, isn't dangerous loading the speargun out of the water?
Out of all the places in Texas that you’ve dived. Where is the clearest and best visibility?
Mainly all depends on time of year and weather conditions. It can get crazy good in one place and be bad in another.
But most consistent is South Padre since it drops off deeper, quicker there. Hit up George at Texas Blue water spearfishing and he’ll get you out!
That’s what I assumed. I used to live in McAllen and would go to SPI regularly just never spent much time in the water. Yea I actually just messaged him on IG. Going to plan a trip this summer. Thanks man. Your content is awesome!
Such a great channel!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you! Appreciate you tuning in.
What Coolers are you using to put the fish in? the one looked like it was a soft cooler, would you recommend?
They are Calcutta fish bags from Amazon. They do the job. The more insulated version is supposed to be better.

Wooow amazing
Thank you!
Liked and subbed 👍good job Aloha and Mahalo 🌺🤙🌺
oh man, fill hurt for that. hope u be good
What a great day in the water! Sorry about the header. How did it look once you got home and cleaned it? Will heal fine?
It was! It probably needed a few stitches, but it healed up. Have a scar there but we’re all good 👍
@@BradenSherron All the most interesting spearfisherman have nice facial scars & stories & videos . Trifecta !!!
What part of the coast/ what state are you launching from?
Texas in this video!
that would have hurt like hell lol
It was a bit sore the days following!
OW.. That hurt my head just watching that......
What was the song from the beginning of the video? I can’t remember the name of it!! 🙏🏼
All For You - Stick Figure! Took me 30 mins of scrolling through my playlist then finally downloading Shazam 😅
How long can you hold your breath
Nice video. Can't believe you got back in after smashing your head on the wreck.
Really appreciate it!
Initially I wasn’t going to but figured the water was clean enough to not worry. Hard to resist when I heard Fisher saw an AP lol..
are these oil rigs abandoned?
These have workers on them, but they are not actively drilling. These are production platforms.
Biutiful master
Thank you!
how does the water pressure not hurt you from that depth you’re at
We equalize our ears from the pressure when descending down. You can look up equalization for diving to learn more about it.
As far as the rest of our body, it adapts naturally. Peripheral vasoconstriction plays a big role- blood from the extremities is brought to the vital organs, the lungs are filled with blood to not get crushed from pressure. It’s very interesting- and crazy to think our bodies automatically adapt!
Great video and serious quality in fish. Next time you clean a Permit run that fillet all the way up to the top of the head or your losing great meat.
Thank you, will do!
Stick Figure is one of my favorites. I dare you to feel stressed while listening to them.
Glad someone appreciated the stick figure feature!!
@@BradenSherron I'm sure you already know, but The Movement is also good. Also, not in the same island reggae genre but similarly chill vibe is an older group Pinback.
What song is this in the intro?
Glad you didn't knock yourself out. Good to have good buds.
Absolutely. Thought the same thing!
Ft Daaaang that water though
What size fish bag is that ?
heres my affiliate link to the specific bag on amazon! You can see the details there.

hey guys, i dont get why you dont eat barracuda? we eat them out in indonesia and they're absolutely delicious in curry, amazing video as always!
We will! They do taste great. Only typically shoot them though if we don’t get enough meat say with snapper or other species we want to try for.
@@BradenSherron ah good to know, great video either way, hello from the UK
Cigureta is common with barracuda in the gulf and other places. Always been sketchy eating cudas just never know
bring some scissors to trim those spines off the lionfish to make them safe in your bag
Why do you use the Panga boat? Serious.
Seaworthy yet economical $$$. I’m 21..
@@BradenSherron I was curious.
@@deanwellmer3668 👊👊
@@BradenSherron Your content is really great.
Man how long you can hold your breath
mantap spot nya👍
It was! 👊👊
The minute 28 is crazy and dangerous moments It wasn't me and my heart is fluttering and my hands are clenched 🫢 boys be safe
What drone are you using?
I believe it was a DJI Mavic that filmed these shots. It was Wyatt's
🤙🏻
Bro you never look up and load guns on the boat without discharging, please be a little more carefull I like those videos 😂
Y u don't come to jamaica
How’s the diving there!?
top
We keek a pair of scissors to cut the spines off the lionfish
Anytime working around structural steel a hard hat of some sort is pretty much a necessity. Imagine you blacked out and where deeper not a good thing be careful out there man
Another permit?!?! WTF 😂
Lol I was just as surprised!
Lion fish arnt deadly 😂
Yo my fellow spear-fisherman, The reason your prize fish are headed away from you is they have been shot at before. Take it from someone who has fished the keys and watched jew fish follow the guy with the speargun so he can hijack your kill. If you want to go sometime come to Bradenton and look for captain Dlip from Hardbottom. No Bananas!
You have lungs of Steel
Need to talk to you about a spot, don’t want to blast it online. Msg back please!
Shoot me an email @ bradensherron@yahoo.com or message me on instagram! Might be able to message here on TH-cam but not sure how that works.
Great spearfishing content! I just dropped my first spearfishing video as it was my first time going. such a gnarly experience, I'd love for you to check it out!
The anodes on that platform are gone....
Not sure what they look like. Where would you expect to see them on the platform?
Damn you smoked your head 🤦🏼♂️
Not ideal
You are dont dfraid by a shark ??
shark only dangerous for fish not for people
My money is not sand
