- Koheru catch and cook sashimi. In this mission I go hunting for Yellowtail Kingfish in New Zealand's Hauraki Gulf. With great weather conditions, I head out on a solo mission at first light. I encounter a good school of Yellowtail Kingfish and take some Koheru home and show you how I turn it into some delicious sashimi!

Imagine a world where a hunter has to (somewhat) justify his actions on his own boat due to the knowledge that some form softkok will undoubtedly write some nonsense comment about safety when the only food they eat is probably from a packet or a restaurant -- Keep up the great work mate!
Yep it's sad mate. Too many gun safety comments lately so thought I would try stop a few ahah. All of those comments definitely from frozen meal eaters. Thanks bro
Love it. You've got me keen on diving and spearfishing!!
Thanks bro. Get into it!
Great video man love all the content and living here in New Zealand my whole life and seeing how beautiful it is, is awesome. You got me into spearfishing and thanks for the videos. Cheers 🍻
Thanks again Mitchell. Good luck out there with the spear!
hell yeah champ, was a great day out today. ill be going up there next week if you're keen to jump on
Great Vid - 100% agree love raw Koheru - i just peel the skin off after slicing behind the fin/gill saves trying to skin with knife as its so soft
Will try that for the next ones! I agree., the skin is super tricky to fillet at times!
Another goodie! You have me hankering for some fish.
Haha thanks mate 🤙
Another great vlog :). Good to see an honest man just getting enough for a feed. Unlucky with the kingfish Ollie, it wasn't meant to be :(. Nevermind, there's always tomorrow :). Goodluck with the next dive brother Ollie.
Cheers! Yep can't always go to plan 😊 happy to take a feed and get some ocean goodness
Hey Ollie, that sucks when you miss out on a good fish because of the safety being on. That's happened to me a couple of times with different guns, now both of those guns no longer have a safety mechanism ;-) Problem with your float line is that it wraps too easily - with a good float line you wont get those tangles. I made my own float line 20+ years ago by pulling the rope through some clear pvc tube and sealed it with a stainless steel plug each end. I used a vacuum cleaner, fishing line and some cotton wool to pull the rope through. It floats and never tangles. Been using it ever since and only needed to repair it once when a shark stole some fish off my float.
Cheers mate. Very Rarely do I use a float line but sounds like I need to upgrade or get my DIY on at home! Cheers for the advice
Safety first Ollie! Awesome vid brother......Lessssgooooo!! 🙌🏾👍🏾👌🏾
Cheers for sharing the video!
🤙
Always enjoyable to watch. Raw fish looked nice. 👌🏻😉👍🏻
Thanks Dale. It was superb!
love the sashimi
btw the soy sauce that you were using is dark soy sauce, we mainly use it by few drops for adding color to dishes. Try Japanese soy sauce in New World, great taste.
Thanks Tony! Will have a look next time in supermarket. I guess you just get used to things.. I did have some Japanese sushi sauce a friend bought over from Japan but didn't really like it.
Awesome vid mate keep em coming!
Thanks Nick, that's the plan!
Nice mate. You should try a sashimi blind taste test with a small selection of NZ fish. Agree, I hate float lines, especially around structure.
That's a good idea, will be hard trying to get a good selection but could def line up 5 or 6! Will keep that in mind
First time I’ve watched your videos - loved your content dude 👌🏼
The boat brought back memories of my inflatables, had a few now. That engine sounds rough as hell, gives me chills. I’ve had old 2 strokes die on me while out, absolute nightmare! Stay safe!
Anyway, really looking forward to watching your progress over the Summer, it’s almost winter in the UK now, so no diving for me now ☹️
Yeah she's an old motor but is serviced regularly. Let's hope she's doesn't fi on me while on a Misson! Sounds cold and dark mate, let hope I can get some good content out to keep you sane over winter!
‘My boat my life’... well said.
Yep. Will still get some slack for that but I said it!
Mean ollie. Hey I just brought me my first boat and yea you guessed it. It's an inflatable 4.5metres with a 15hp. And I'll tell you now. I've been diving on all these allimium boats and tell you by far my boats the easiest to get in and out off. I've never caught a kingi on a rod or speargun but I want to catch my first on a speargun.. I need to get me a line from my gun to my boy. Because i heard if you try hold the kingi it will just take your gun with it and you will loose ur gear...lol anyways I'll keep in touch. Happy diving 💪😎
Hey Jax that sounds great mate. Bit bigger than mine so should handle the chop well. Good luck out there, yes absoulety get a float line or you will lose your gun soon enough.
Great video again...👍👍👍
Thanks brother
Ollie The saftey on/off was my weakness .
I trained myself to check its on.
I dive alone most of the time .
○✔Good dive trip
○✔Good Vidlog
I've removed them now. No more missed fish!
Be safe bro.
At your own risk.
Thanks Ollie, hey out there Labour weekend.😎
great now im starving!
Haha sorry mate
Always dig your videos bro mean....👌
Cheers Kevin
awesome love it
Thanks Jill!
I agree with you 100% - Koheru is the best sashimi ever. It’s a shame we don’t have them down here in the S.I
What's the best fish down south raw? Have to get down for a dive in the next year tick off some species and check it out
I’m not sure there is a species you could describe as “Southern” that would be any different to what you can get up north. Considering species we can typically get on a speargun then I go for Tarakihi and Gurnard. Would like to try the humble old Leatherjacket too sometime.
Cheers bud👌 great job
Thanks mate!
If you completely remove the moisture from the meat surface with a clean dry towel or kitchen paper, you can taste better.
Great tip!
I love your contents, mate.
You should use a light soy for sashimi, not dark soy.
Cheers! I have tried a few but I still prefer the cheap stuff I buy! Will keep experimenting..
you really do live the life bro another meke video !
Thanks bro. I try my best to enjoy what we have here!
check out aimrite, they have their safety with the trigger so its impossible to forget. Awesome vid
Lol my boat my life - best
Haha true
Nice brother, hello fron Brazil
Cheers brother. Will get over there for a dive one day
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Welcome, I dive the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro here. I know some good places close by and very good shallows.
@ that's where I would go, I have a friend living in Rio, very good Diver.
man iv seen you drive past before with your irb next time ill say hi
Where abouts
Nice feed.
Thanks Deb sure was
Hi Ollie. Where did you purchase your boat an ex lifeguard I'm guessing and what size motor? Love your videos. Currently getting into the sport and I'm learning a lot just by watching your videos. Thanks
Hey mate I bought it off Trademe, it's the standard 30hp merc
Hey Ollie another awesome vid!! can you catch Koheru on a line?
Hey mate not sure, should be able to on a sabiki or similar? I'm not too clued up on Rod fishing. Def look into it because they are so good!
Nice vid bro 🤙
Thanks brother
Chur bro 🤙🏽love it
Cheers Keahn
Hey Ollie Pity about the Kingi’s mate but dam that sashimi looks good
Yep, plenty of Kings to come over summer so no worries! Koheru was fantastic
I prefer kina Tongues
Just az well🙄i don't see any 😒kina on his vids. 😁
I'd Have to score a feed 😎 don my woollen jumper over and down to my track pants golf shoe on Take a screw driver GO for a wha wha way out deep.
Good idea about the safety - mine went after a big trevally survived ...
Hey man! Firstly just want to say thanks for the awesome vids. Has helped me survive London and now being back in NZ they've got me pumped to get back out there! Need your advice on one thing. I was thinking about getting a viking 440 after your successes with one but notice lately you've been out more on the inflatable. What are your thoughts on one versus the other? Couple of top pros and cons of each would be massively appreciated!
Hey mate cheers. Its a great kayak. Just been doing some missions for kingies and at this time of year mostly out further etc. Just did a mission last week on the kayak vid will be up this week, and planning to head out on it again. Obviously with boat you can cover more ground quicker and get to more offshore islands. The kayak is great though, able to launch basically anywhere, doubles as float so can tow behind you and cover being stretches of coast without the need to double back and then move the boat etc both are awesome. Generally all you need is a kayak man. The 440 is epic, so much storage basically setup to dive straight out the factory
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Thanks for those thoughts. Think that settles it then. 440 it is and will look to add something with a motor to the arsenal in the future at some point. Any accessories you reckon are must haves? Or any other tips for someone about to buy a 440 (or other diving kayak)?
@@mattharveyify kayak leash, some sort of anchor, fish bag and the little dry well option that goes in between legs is good for phine/keys. Other than that good to go really.
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Awesome - added to the list. So helpful to get the tips from someone with first hand experience. Really appreciate it. Cheers! Looking forward to that next vid!
@@mattharveyify easy mate, let grant at Viking know I sent ya! Cheers buddy good lucky out there.
Your filleting skills god mate! like and ready sub..... Thanks/
Legend thanks mate!
Keen to start diving don't know where to start though any tips for a young fella
Ryhs, go into a local spearfishing shop and have a chat with the team. also book into a freediving/spearfishing course
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit chur have a good one keep up the good content
Wat a legend
Cheers gavin
really like ya videos bro. only bad thing is diving alone i nearly lost my life doing that. i know a lot of people doing videos of them diving alone but its so dangerous
Would be interested to know what happened if you don't mind
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit big swell came out of nowhere smashed me into rocks was on west coast out of kawhia . sea was flat before and after only thing saved me was my fitness and close to shore. i used to be able to hold my breath for close to 3minutes. i know its alot different on the east coast
@@darranadam992 yeah mate west coast is another beast I've never dived west solo and when I have been there have battled some narky currents and under swell etc. East coast is chill. Still to be respected however.
Looks like Martins Bay
Awesome content Brother, love your stuff. Couple of the boy's watch your content too. They've created a messenger page, called Kingdom Gatheres. Would love to add you to the page for some encouragement and some guidance. If and when you available. Bless you bro 🙏
Hey Ollie is this out the back of kawau island, unlucky with that kingy
Around there bro
Yea it would have been interesting to see you eat it 🤣 🤣 🤣
Next time!
Do you use a red filter or post production for your underwater shots?
Very minimal post production, mostly nothing. Go pro does the work for me
Get.them.kingi,s.next.time.uncle.ollie👾
Will do mate, they know I'm coming for them haha
Can you at least let us watch you eat one morsel it's like watching a man enjoy a cold beer after a hard day's work.
Haha next time!
Great video! Question for you, what do you have for a dive watch? Cheers
Cheers Bailey. I use the Suunto D4f currently
Do you ever worry diving alone?
I am pretty sure as all divers and spearfishers do.I know I do. When you hunt other things have to hunt too.
Nope, never. Can't live life in fear.
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit that's a fair call! Respect.
fkn safety aye...
Safety no more. Its gone
What do you do for a living?
Work in sales bro
first person
The jellies must be so annoying
Not too bad bro. Just decreases visablilty
Is this at martins bay by any chance ?
Shut up!
There's a safety on it for a reason please do not remove it or glue it a speargun is still a gun
In what situation would I need a safety? I would never point a loaded speargun in the direction of someone else, nor would I ever trust a safety. Many spearguns these days come favtory without them
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit ok it's your call your the pro buddy I have photos of nasty injuries with spearfishing if don't trust the safety on the the speargun I wouldn't trust the speargun at all accidents happen just because you done this and that does not mean it won't happen to you great video buddy sorry if my comment upset you
@@joelmonkley6177 no worries bud, everyone is welcome to their own opinion in this world! Thanks for your feedback. Stay safe out there. Cheers, Ollie.
