Hey man, I know what you feel like missing your trip. I had to cancel a two-week offshore fishing and diving trip in the Gulf of Mexico. I have a friend with a boat down there, but I cannot get through the airport. I am in Seattle Washington and the airport is not a place to be going right now. How you can go next year.
@@DanielMann I wish we had them here...we have those little parrot fish instead...although i know the diff between a parrot and a tuskfish now i didn;t before. I don't really care about mullets but it would be intresting to hear some details about seabass and their habits over there...like depths,water temps etc...
Great video mate, I'm not even a spearo (I'm a rod and reel fisho) but I've been watching your videos for ages and love them. I'm also from Brisbane. It's so interesting to see the types of structure that holds different fish, and their behaviour. Great stuff mate and I love the style of videos you do, keep it up! 🙌
@@DanielMann Yes mate, lots of Venus Tuskfish and the odd Blackspot Tuskfish on the sunshine coast close in reefs. We mostly catch them on squid baits/lures! But their stomachs are always full of crabs and crustaceans, even just sand and rubble from the bottom sometimes! Cheers
Gold ..thanks Dan. Can you do some on species we 'cant' shoot too, or size restrictions/seasons?? etc , so we/I don't make dumb mistakes. I still dont know the local fish species very well (I immigrated from Tas) So I'm really looking forward to this series!
So how do you train yourself to hold your breath that long? I'd love to get into spear fishing, but I don't know how I can train to increase my breath capacity?
you don't need a long breath hold (dependant where you are in the world) if you can hold your breath for a minute, that'll do for the majority of the world and can hunt down to at least 15m on that time
@@laithdajani3181 emm depends in wich area bro, here at mediterian you really need to get down deep, hold your breath and wait. Once a fish spots you its long gone. So if you are not down there in the grass or behind some rock for a minute or two you aint catchin anything good. Have in mind you still need to get down on 15-30m and up. Id say in my case Im workin on 4 minutes dive, currently on 2.
I recommend learning a instrument. Preferably a reed or brass instrument as you have to learn to conserve and constrict your breathing in order to hold notes. It's a fantastic way to build lung capacity in a fun way.
LOL, my dad caught one and thought it was a parrot fish, he woke me up by slapping it in my eye when he caught it

As always, very cool images, and great editing. The other day I picked up a dentex that I know you're stuck with in the Mediterranean. You can keep an eye on it on my channel. A hug partner
Daniel Mann no tusks here. It’s super weird here. We get weird stuff that only live here like certain parrots but are missing things that I feel like should live here. Supposedly a few doggies get caught every now and then but are always super tiny and may not even be true. It’s a weird place kinda in no mans land out here.
beautiful video as always. how is to live in Londo for a ocean lover like you? i mean i am from a samlla coast town in the Basque country and when i went to live to Melborune for a year it was very hard for me even being a city in the coast.
Finally ! Yes that's a great idea mate! As spearos this is exactly the kind of videos that we need 👌 thanks for your great job. The most educational channel about spearfishing so far. cheers from new caledonia
Yes please ! Amazing vid and really helpful since im thinking a lot about coming to Australia and explore .. this is exactly what i need Cheers from saudi arabia

Hey Daniel, question here from an amateur, I'm in Halifax nova Scotia and I want to get into spearfishing out here, but I have never heard of anyone out here doing it, have you heard of any speardivers out this way? If not any advice on how to get started without someone to show you the ropes?
Hey Daniel! Have you been to the Red Sea? I used to spearfish there. It was a unique experience and I would recommend it for you if you haven't been there before.
@@DanielMann Well, I am Syrian and last time I speared there was 2013 where it was allowed for all. It is true that it is only allowed by citizens now but laws are changing all the time in Saudi Arabia and they are trying to sponsor tourism so keep an eye open! I don't know what applies for Egypt though! It might be prohibited there.
Those are some massive parrotfish Mann. What do you reckon makes their bones blue? I’ve only shot a couple of them, but haven’t observed any blue bones...?
I’ve never shot one with blue bones but in north west Australia apparently they do. I’ve seen smaller grass/purple tuskfish with blue bones but never the big ones.
A friend died of coronavirus last night , stay away from everyone , and type every disease known to mankind / biblical plauge of locust, we’re in revelations. Ask forgiveness for every sin and repent today. Stay safe everyone
Daniel, you have impeccable content always and I would like to you ask you a question if that's ok. I just picked up my very first speargun to start learning on that I got from trading a bcd for it. It's a "65 Blactip custom by Reef with enclosed track. Question I have is this: Isn't that bit much of a speargun to start right out of the gates with?
I get it! It’s not a parrot fish 😂 I actually really enjoy these types of videos. Currently not in a position to do this kinda stuff myself, but one day I hope to so this really helps with the technical knowledge 👍🏼 thanks Dan and keep the good videos coming please!
Thanks for the all the vids Dan. Very informative. I've been learning a lot from your videos and getting better at bringing home fish for the family as a result. Much respect from the Cook Islands.
I have been watching you for ages. and the videos never seem to have anything less than amazing footage. these videos always make me want to go out and dive. you got me into diving and i love it more every time i go out, not just looking for fish but hearing the crackling of the rocks and experiencing a whole different world underwater. thanks for sharing your awesome knowledge of the great bluebone
Why did you shoot a parrot fish?.......................sorry, I had to. Great video, can't wait till the next episode. Do a series of 19 videos. This could be Covid 1
Absolutely Fantastic! I've only been spearfishing once and I'm completely hooked! Spent most of the last year learning about the sport and watching every video I can find. Your videos are informational, instructive and fun. I'm a fan! While we are on coronacation, could you make a video for us newbies trying to get into the sport? Especially for those of us that are old and will need a 50 lb. belt to help us get to the bottom?
That intro was NUTS!!! way cool edit. Also this vid series of focusing on specific species is brilliant. Love it!! Love your work. Please keep them coming
i live in norway, do you have anny tips for diving for cod and halibut. i have never spearfished before, i have all the gear but i got it right before corona.
Hey Daniel. I'm 10 and you inspired me to spearfish. I've just bought a Rob Allen scorpia 50 and I'm mainly shooting for your smaller reef fish ( i live in New Zealand so those fish would be; Leatherjackets, John Dory, Snapper and Butterfish.) I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration.
Lmao cliche much with the hand sanitizer. Man you're a beast! What was the best fish you ever shot? Like maybe not the biggest fish but the amount of effort you had to put in just to shoot it. Thanks brah!
This is exactly what I need. Stuck at home for the next 4 weeks! With no diving! Sorry to hear about your trip mate, sounds like it would have been fun. Its definitely stopped me, I was working as a commercial Paua (Abalone) diver at the start of the year but had to stop cause of the virus! Stay safe and dive well mate, looking forward to the next one.
@@DanielMann thanks for taking the time to reply. Your videos have helped me feed my family and friends and also keep my sanity when I'm not in the water.
That footage, some of the best in the biz.
As always Daniel,fascinating.thank you
I like this format, and I appreciate this. Thank you.
Cheers Seth!
Ugh bored outta my mind so happy I found your channel!!
70 videos to get through 😎
One of the best eating fish
Great idea! Hope to see some species from colder water as well ;-)
Hey man, I know what you feel like missing your trip. I had to cancel a two-week offshore fishing and diving trip in the Gulf of Mexico.

Savage mate, sorry to hear!
In Mexico need a license if we doing spearfishing?thanks
Love your videos man. Great stuff.
I love learning about the native fish of Australia, the wildlife is so diverse. Loved it!
Get them around Coffs Harbour as well! So delicious
Crazy dan! I finally got onto some Sydney rock oysters aswell! coming soon!
more more more!!!
They are really nice fish!
Good catches mate! 🤘
Thanks Dimos, nothing like them in Europe at all.
@@DanielMann I wish we had them here...we have those little parrot fish instead...although i know the diff between a parrot and a tuskfish now i didn;t before.

Love the vid we are shut down here in Canada as well and I appreciate the diversion. Thanks Mate be well
what a beautiful parrot fish

Wow great vid cheers Dan.
Sick idea for a video series mate looking forward to see what's next. Suck you can't take your trip man. stay healthy man
Thinking about that 3°C... may have been a blessing in disguise.
Gold ..thanks Dan. Can you do some on species we 'cant' shoot too, or size restrictions/seasons?? etc , so we/I don't make dumb mistakes. I still dont know the local fish species very well (I immigrated from Tas) So I'm really looking forward to this series!
That’s not a bad shout actually. Although I don’t have much footage of said protected species apart from QLD grouper & red bass.
Thanks Dan, good idea doing the different species coverage, looking forward to seeing them.
I think I’ll do fingermark next.
Are these going to be mini episodes?! A little bit of wee came out, can't hold the excitement!
Hope so! Got a few fish in mind.
Hey Daniel! Great Idea you had sharing your tips on different species, I will definitely stay tuned for more! Stay safe!
Thanks André, you too.
@@DanielMann That parrot fish looks good.nice job
Love this kind of video! Mann you killing it 😂
So how do you train yourself to hold your breath that long? I'd love to get into spear fishing, but I don't know how I can train to increase my breath capacity?
it is an app cald stamina, i vent from 30 - 40 sek to 2 minn easy. you can look at youtube videos of the app
you don't need a long breath hold (dependant where you are in the world) if you can hold your breath for a minute, that'll do for the majority of the world and can hunt down to at least 15m on that time
Most divers don't practice it all just comes from experience and getting out of the water

It’s a parrot fish
Couldn’t help myself
Thanks for taking the time to pop out a new vid, they are all amazing good and I enjoy them immensely.
love the vids
Great video Dan! I was already excited to get out there and chase the Tuskie’s, but this video has really screwed me up😂. Thanks mate👍
Nice video keep going 👍👍👍👍
Really looking forward to the rest of this series, keep them comin!
Sweet video man love the species highlights!
You ever get tuskfish in Hawaii? They don’t get a lot of things that you’d think would be there like dogtooth right?
Daniel Mann no tusks here. It’s super weird here. We get weird stuff that only live here like certain parrots but are missing things that I feel like should live here.

New Subscriber. Up in Broome, my favourite.

Damm this virus I was looking ford to another "HALIBOUT" Vid !
IT suck that you can not come to norway but everything her is closed

Nice vid that's a really cool idea ! Do want to talk about Europeen species like Sargo, Labrax or Polak ?
If I get more footage from pollock and Labrador yes 👌
Finally ! Yes that's a great idea mate! As spearos this is exactly the kind of videos that we need 👌 thanks for your great job. The most educational channel about spearfishing so far.

Another fine video. I too lost a freediving trip in Kenya due to the virus - your efforts to entertain us are much appreciated
Great format. I wouldn't mind a slightly more in depth explanation of the eating qualities...maybe I'm just hungry
Красава, очень интересные сюжеты получаются
Ok I get it. IT’S. NOT. A. PARROTFISH....Tuskfish. Loud and clear

Long nose emporer???
These videos are the only thing keeping me from going crazy being at home!
Hey Daniel!
Have you been to the Red Sea? I used to spearfish there.
It was a unique experience and I would recommend it for you if you haven't been there before.
Hi Anas, I’ve not been to the Red Sea. I was under the impression it was only allowed to be speared by citizens?
@@DanielMann Well, I am Syrian and last time I speared there was 2013 where it was allowed for all.
It is true that it is only allowed by citizens now but laws are changing all the time in Saudi Arabia and they are trying to sponsor tourism so keep an eye open!
I don't know what applies for Egypt though! It might be prohibited there.
pero Daniel que bien vives!!!! yo no me quejo, bueno ahora si por la cuarentena, saludos y salud desde Fuerteventura
Those are some massive parrotfish Mann.

I’ve never shot one with blue bones but in north west Australia apparently they do. I’ve seen smaller grass/purple tuskfish with blue bones but never the big ones.
Thanks for the cool video and keeping me busy for a bit. Cheers!
Did u see the wobby when u where pulling the tusk fish out of the hole?
It was a long time ago but I can’t say I saw it then. Was more concerned about not having the tuskfish swim out the other side of the pipe 😂
You r superb my bro
Enjoyed this format Daniel. Thanks!

Always a wealth of knowledge Mr Mann . Digging the funky music 😎🇦🇺🧜🏻♀️🐟🧜🏻♀️🦀🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️
Got to mix it up every now and then 😬
I heard that the taste is very similar to the...parrotfish!!

It's a "65 Blactip custom by Reef with enclosed track. Question I have is this: Isn't that bit much of a speargun to start right out of the gates with?
It’s a whopper of a gun at 65”. Is use something around 1m or 1.1m to start with.

Great info thanks @Daniel mann
Daniel i have question. If i use 100cm barrel roller speargun. What length should i cut for 16mm rubber band?
Not sure as rollers come in all shorts of flavours these days. Best consult the manufacturer.
Daniel Mann thank you
Wait, isn’t that a parrotfish?
😏
What is your favorite fish to spear
Do some fish from nsw please
Got a nice one of those coming up.
I love to see ylu releasibg these profiles. Especially because I'm in Australia 😂
So perfect timing I have nothing to do all day. Gladly to watch your vids
I was craving for a video 😫😫thank you for posting 😏😏🤗
5:12 one just swims past
They love a bit of noise and commotion.
Thanks for the videos, stuck mostly inside here in Australia so very nice.
HAHAHA...Liked your video after your first sentence!! HAHAHA
I'm in California, are your Black spot tusk fish similar to our Sheepshead different colors but look so similar.
Both are part of the wrasse family.

Wahoo or Spanish Macky next please champ!
I’ve got two videos on here specifically about Spanish mackerel 😎
Definitely going to help me
