I must say old chap, that your enunciation has improved dramatically since your emigration from the Antipodes to the Mother Country. Jolly good, and Tally ho.
(From a fellow Brisbane bayside lad, albeit somewhat older)
Dressed out that fish like a boss.
The flesh on these fish are whiter than on the kings we catch in the states! Our kings have grayish flesh and are really dry when cooked! Great video!
4:42 nuuu that mackerel has got the band in its teeth lol
Here in the US we call these king mackerel or kingfish. We have a smaller variety which have yellow spots and a less aggressive lateral line drop, that we call Spanish mackerel
That’s heaven
FASTEST fillet macky job ive ever seen! hope i could do it that fast on my chanel one day yew!
Great vidio realy want to do spearfishing there...so mani big fish ! Heloo from indonesia
He makes the filleting look so easy
He has filleted a few fish in his time.
Great video and loved the filleting demo. What process do you use to keep your knife sharp?
Hey Nick I have been using the Spyderco triangle knife sharpener. Pretty idiot proof (good for me) and I can get my knives back to shaving arm hairs in a few minutes. I also use a diamond steel mid fillet sometimes if I’m processing heavy scaled fish like barramundi and mulloway.
nice one idol
Lol at the end fish breath
Nice video our uk mackerel lot smaller but so tasty.
A lot harder to shoot in the U.K. too. I’ve only managed one.
U r the "Spanish King"👌😜🤙
Kings cut in steaks and grilled, are killer
Just started at age 56 dad caught mullet in 60s. I have a few videos if you want a luagh google mark howe spearfishing love the brighton video as from uk. Mark
Funny i recently found out king mackerel and Spanish mackerel are different there mackerel are more like grey mackerel Than spaniards as well as them being smaller
What gun are you using? That one looks pretty simple and easy to reload.
The carbon fibre one is a gun I made myself. 120 with 16mm rubbers and a 7.5mm spear.
@@DanielMann hi mate, is it made of wood wrap around with carbon fiber? O
No, foam in the middle.
@@DanielMann how do you do it bro? Planning to build my personal speargun. Thanks so much
Bit hard to explain here but essentially a foam core with a composite shell formed with vacuum bagging.
Why are the Spanish Mackerel there so much bigger than the ones I see them catch in Florida?
I was asking the same and also I don't see the yellow dots they look more like king mackerel
Huge aren't they?
In Australia we call them Spanish mackerel. Scientific name is Scomberomorus commerson. They don’t get yellow dots on them no. Perhaps the common names are different in our two countries? These aren’t really big ones either, in the west coast of Australia very common 25-35kg.
call them spanish in australia but called kingfish up here, spanish and cero mackerel stay under 15 pounds but kings are a lot bigger
Scott Wenzel they are actually not kings at all. The species is narrow-barred Spanish mackerel
How ya goin
You should partner up with YBS youngbloods
Or Back 2 Basics
Pppffffff got nothing on the giant mackerel we get down in Cornwall 🙄
😂
Spanish mackerel or King mackerel they look more than king to me idk....
AleAlex-Pro they actually are a type of Spanish mackerel i thought the same thing. They species is narrow-barred Spanish mackerel and they are actually a near threatened species. The meat looks different than a king i just caught one a few days ago and i was like dang this looks way different lol.
Not sure why you put Spanish/king, they are different fish.
People call them different things in different parts of the world. Common names suck, these are scomberomorus commerson.
@@DanielMann yea common names confuse things but a fishing lad did a video a while ago to address all the shit he was getting for calling them Spanish and kings are scombermorous cavalla 🤷♂️
Ha ha
So if you guys call kingfish Spanish mackerel, then what the hell do you call Spanish mackeral😂
collin are you fucking high
