I was mixed on this dive to leave them for a tournament or take them. Was the first time diving with him and didn’t know if he had shot a carbo so decided to go after them. It doesn’t take much to convince me anyway. I’m definitely not leaving unless I know for sure how you dive and handle yourself. Deep stuff I like to come up together unless we get separated on the bottom.
Nice shot placement right there. Always wanted to do some deep dives for carbos. Those look like one bad shot placement away from a really bent shaft! Are you diving a low % nitrox or just air? I thought I misheard the video when you said 1500psi, but now I see you had a deco bottle. Great dive
Yep they will definitely bend some shafts. The one last weekend bent two of them. I did do this dive with 1500 in my main tank but I did have a pony bottle for a Deco. The other guy did not have a pony on him for this dive and that was mostly what I was worried about. I knew how much air I had but I wasn’t sure how good he was so I knew we had to get back out relatively soon.
Did you ever build another gun? I'd be interested to know how you built it... It took me by surprise when you laid a second spear into the grouper.... Me and my dive buddy were like WTH!
It’s a dive right transpack. It’s just straps in the front with d-rings to clip to. I put bungees around the air bladder so it stays nice and tight as well.
Excellent video and perfect 1st shot. Consider carrying a dive knife and take that fish out with a brain shaft. It would instantly kill the grouper and save you time.
I have one on me. Was trying to get some video of him in action but was short on time for the depth and air pressure left. It’s hard to think down deep sometimes.
Very nice! That quick second shot gave your buddy a chance on the other Carbo. If no second shot that big one would have silted up that cave I bet. Impressive fishes!
I never finished it completely just testing it now. It’s the third overunder I’ve made and just seeing what I like and what I want to change. I’ll be making a new one one of these days. I like the line release on the left. It drives me crazy having it on the right
@@jasonbihari oh my. That’s very frightening, so fast, and benign. The video makes it look like a very casual, easy going activity... wow. It did make me think about, I mean it crossed my mind in one of your other videos that simple tasks performed, in difficult situations that if somethings going to go wrong it will. The simplest tasks, can be a challenge. I hunted In the sub Article in January, with a very experienced, very serious men. The temperature was -48c. With very high winds, you might last 30 minutes in the open ( regardless of what gear you had on). An example of a simple task being difficult. Getting a rifle magazine out of your pocket, and putting it in the rifle, then closing bolt and chambering a round would be exhausting. Your finger tip would freeze from being on the trigger for 15 seconds. Thank you for commenting, it all makes sense... I know that living life involves risks, so be careful and live it ! Terrific vids, and your grouper from the holes showed amazing skill. I think spear fishing could be the future if done properly and controlled. No by catch, selective harvest and you can monitor species abundance.
You get used to it but can definitely see it in a few of my videos. The worst three times I’ve had it I didn’t have a camera on but you can still see it in some other videos. I know what to look for and what I need to do to get out of it if needed.
@@jasonbihari when you are diving with an attached airLine are there the same risks with the blood gas, and all that ? I noticed on that you were closely watching your time, when doing the Grouper dive, which you had an attached line. Also I’ve wondered why the free divers don’t have an inflatable air vest for emergencies. Cut off the weight belt, pull the rip cord and you’re going to the surface. Not great but better than getting dragged deep by a shark, tuna, Goliath? Are there automated alarm systems for divers, like a you have to respond to the prompt or the alarm goes off ? I’m just curious if there’s been any safety advancements in the past 50 years.
Depends on how you look at it. I know it looks easy but we spent a lot of time and effort to get to this level. In fact it takes a different kind to do the dives we do to kill trophies. Earlier that day we had a large mako approach us on the way up. Don’t think many Fishermen would be getting in the water to do what we do especially after that.
I gained a lot from this, more so than just watching the hunt. There is so much going on. So much to learn!
Definitely a lot going on if you want to look for it. Most people just see the fish and kill but the whole dive is the big picture
That was a sweet in and out it. You look after your buddy like your little brother which is great. Great stuff as usual men thx.

Awesome video! Would love to have seen them when you got them on the boat!
The thumbnail picture is them in the boat. Other than that I have several other videos with big black grouper with deck shots at the end

Thank you
Keep going ❤

Yeah I made a few now. My buddy has this one now
Your dive buddy should learn how to hold a fish!!! Hahaha
He was narked big time. The deep water and big fish isn’t a joke.
That over under made quick work of that situation!!!!!
It absolutely did. This exact situation is the reason I built it.
@@jasonbihari I have never seen a double barrel speargun! I would love to see some video/pics of that unit. Can you build me one? 😍
@@MarkPrimo if I can find shafts for them I will start building them again.
First shot knocked him silly, second shot turned out the lights
Nice catch brother
Thanks man. One I’ll never forget
What BC do you wear? It looks very minimalistic, I like it!

I knifed my big grouper last year before pulling it out of the hole. That’s another interesting video if you want to check it out.
Very nice! That quick second shot gave your buddy a chance on the other Carbo. If no second shot that big one would have silted up that cave I bet. Impressive fishes!
For sure on that. That’s why I grabbed it and pulled it up fast. Was just hoping he would get a shot at the other one.
what kind of gun is that with loaded freeshafts on top and below? nice to have an insurance shot immediately available on a fish that big
I built it. Got parts from neptonics
@@jasonbihari post up some pics if you can - I'm intrigued

Perfect 👌
Thank you sir. I was pretty happy with how it went.
Shout out next vlog
Some shots of the fish in the boat would have been nice.
I can’t post pictures on here but I’ll try to add some on future videos. I have plenty on FB
@@jasonbihari guess I should have said....some video of the fish on deck.
Camera died on the way up on this one.
Most of the time the guy’s just throw them in the box or we just take pictures.
Jason never. Take a squirrel monkey diving go heffay
Why wouldn’t he kill that fish whilst making his way to the surface. Just get the feeling it’s gonna be gone, at evry second of the ascent.
Narcosis

If I get it bad I’ll just look at my depth gauge and make sure I’m going up. I’ve kicked in place before without realizing it.

Diving is cool, but it is not on the same sport level as surface fishing. JMHO

Earlier that day we had a large mako approach us on the way up. Don’t think many Fishermen would be getting in the water to do what we do especially after that.
I like to fish as well but I’ll always have the wonder of what’s on the bottom.
Are you proud of you ?????
Shame on you !
Stop doing that
Try it without tank....
How about try stop complaining on random peoples videos. Are you gonna listen to me probably not do you think I’m gonna listen to you. there you go.
