The Vis is normally quite bad in Auckland too. Have to pick your days and go out a bit towards the islands to see anything.

Watching your content is my new fav thing to do in my free time Ollie! Hoping to become a better spearo myself and I’ve gotta say you’ve become a role model for me in the sport. I learn something new with every video of yours I watch and am eagerly expecting your next release :)

Early morning in the dark on that first spot with the tax man who you know isn't far away with all his mates takes guts, seen too many of them around there myself, I don't venture past the snappers in the shallows there now especially alone. Good vid mate bet you can't wait for summer again!

Loving the vids bro. And you attitude to the quality and numbers of what you catch and take is awesome. Keep on keeping on brotherman, next time I’m home we’ll have to hook up for a dive up in the Far North. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours from me and mine.

[@Arbyofuchprawnage]

Good job mate, looks like a great day out. Im going to see the old IRB heading off, been watching you have adventures in that boat for ages. Excited to see what comes next.

[@owabots2]

Amazing!!!

[@XTRDAE86XJakeX]

Epic content Ollie! Appreciate the safety tips about line management. I've seen and heard it from the best of them....letting their guard down almost got them wrapped up. Stay safe out there mate!

[@chefmadewoodwork]

Great Video fren We get Great yellowtail like this in the summers off the coast of Southern California. Your trips plugging these monsters really makes me want to take the move into spear fishing as well. Cheers 🍻

[@Kumukarl]

Such a legendary morning! You’re a beast!

[@guttavontusck4094]

Beautiful haku Brotha happy New Year 🥳😎 what a start man enjoyed every minute of this video top watch

[@franiannarone8196]

Nice footage, Merry Christmas

[@jonathanderekvanwieringen3773]

Here Ollie, I noticed something interesting with amberjack and Tail. When they mellowed out and swimming slow relax around you they fight Like Hell. BUT when active and feeding they don't really fight hard. I believe it's got to do with stored up Energy 😁👍🤙Cool Vid

[@Nick-si5yg]

When is ya next big adventure? Love ya work🤜🤛

[@pt4036]

another top video Ollie just miss all that diving ,too old now

[@whaletacos]

[@notthenorm5174]

Thoroughly enjoyed that ollie, couldn't get much better, well deserved bro'...

[@jokahukore9794]

That smoked fish made my mouth water 🤤🤤🤙

[@raykuhn2869]

Heres a thought for you dont retire the rubber ducky cut a hole in the bottom and put a perspex plate in not a big one but big enough to chase and see bait fish ect and you know where to hunt easy enough to seal and make water tight with a gasket same shape as a frame on bottom to seal in perspex rectangle also use silastic AND YOU DO A GREAT SHOW GRUMPY

[@Jamiedays]

Nice work, some awesome fish there!! I hope to come have a go one day, watching from the uk

[@ralphslife5710]

You been watching some cooking show production bro! Love the way you continue to develop your content. Awesome.

[@paulbecroft8879]

Luv smoked Kingi it's the winner for me.

[@lunamanu7]

Great ep legend, keen to see your new boat! What temp did you have the smoker set to?

[@raykuhn2869]

SHIT HOT A NEW ONE man i wish i was living there a real good day for me was 2 flathead about 350 mm long , 4 leather jackets ,and 1 potty mullet about 400 mm long that was after 8 hrs in water and miles of williamstown back beach checked you go out in 3 hrs 2 big kingy 1 bloody big snapper and 1 im not sure of name YOU HAVE IT SO GOOD THERE EXCELLENT HUNTING GROUNDS all year round . good on you for doing this show and showcasing New Zealands diving capabilities and YOUR SKILL AT HUNTING a shit shot would still get a good feed of fish c u GRUMPY

[@timothycrooks9123]

Bro, you seem to have stepped your edit and flow game up even another level. This is a fine watch, even for people that are not already interested. Well done man. I had a terrible thought though... I dig how you burley with the kina and frames etc. I just wondered being a non-diving fisher, is it sorta against the code to take a burly bag down and anchor it by a bommie? Seems on boats people put bag after bag in. Is this something spearies sorta would frown on? Anyway, from winter in Prague, here is a Kiwi that is super stoked with your latest content bro. :) thanks

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Thanks bro. As long as it’s not in a plastic bag or similar which could get lost into the ocean I dont have any problem with that

[@rawiri2336]

I need go get into spearfishing asap!!

[@NGS0303]

I use to wonder how Ollie made his vids long compared to my vids if one of his vids didn't have much action then I watched closely now I figured out how and it is scenery clips

[@mpk6100]

Really thankful for the content you put on here, great stuff and such an amazing adventure... calm seas ! 🤙

[@itsyourboychristian4676]

I’ll buy your IRB bro, other than that mean content 😎

[@_DEX_-]

Ollie, after you shoot and hit the fish, how do go about gilling it? I see it briefly with you at the surface. Just a little more detail.

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Hey Greg, Just get the knife into the gills and thrash around enough to get the blood flowing, nothing too special. Different however for fish like Tuna where you puncture the side of the fish

[@_DEX_-]

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit thanks Ollie!

[@antonymc4890]

This is crack up, I met those kingis in exact same spot a couple weeks ago, too bad my shot ripped out

[@raykuhn2869]

Just so you know the 44 magnum is the best round for a power head as the 44 mag burns more gun powder before the water gets to it more than 12 gauge shell . i knew a gun nut in indonesia and he went threw burn rate ,grains of powder and a short barrel length to work it out THEN ITS BY BY Mr BRONZEE TRIANGLE WITH ITS EYES BACK AND BOOM TA TAR SHARKY cu GRUMPY

[@elizabethmurray6107]

Hey Ollie love your videos but can you name places where you are?

[@jack_mcrae]

Mean bro

[@raykuhn2869]

Ollie the snapper when you shot it pissed out a lot of bubbles is that the swim bladder but you shot it higher than the guts ??also must THANK YOU VERY MUCH as i now dive threw your show when you miss or you can see it low i scream at the monitor CANT REPEAT what i say or call you for missing but thats spear fishing chow GRUMPY

[@outlawwsog2676]
