World Spearfishing Champion answers YOUR questions - Giacomo De Mola

[@DanielMann]

Did Giacomo answer your question?

[@hannahmann4215]

Si 🤩

[@scorpius2626]

Oui mais j'ai une dernière question ? Je suis catalan et j'habite en France donc désolé pour le mauvais anglais. Ma question est : Sans bateau comment trouver votre spot pour n'importe quel poisson ? Et la météo est-elle importante selon les poissons recherchés ?

[@ImpactZoneSpearfishing]

yep, thanks legend!

[@samudraaryawan3255]

Yess thanks. Greetings from Indonesia 🤙

[@blueaddictionn]

yes ❤❤❤

[@msacontrocorrente]

Great ending, I loved more than anything Giacomo underlining how spearfishing is really up to what stage of your life you are at and really how you see spearfishing in general. Many fish ? Big fish? Is a very personal and unique answer, Giacomo is one of us and knowing it, is amazing, thank you Daniel for bringing him on the channel!

[@DanielMann]

Grazie Cristian, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@sinclairsspearfishingstori9310]

loved the dentex part and “second shot via braille” has to be the funniest line ive ever heard

[@Metalearning_cz]

Wow, this video is just mindblowing. One of the most insightful looks across many spearfishing levels I have seen on your channel. Also, those questions were precisely those I wished to get the answer to. Lovely to see you both having so much experience and still being humble and open for all levels. Thank you for your time and effort in making this episode. 👍🙏

[@Itzmfalex]

This was honestly so helpful. This guys got so much knowledge and experience, I could listen to him talk about spearing for days. Great vid 👍🏽

[@DanielMann]

Cheers Alex!

[@fh38flkwjlisjeflsjliejf]

Great video Daniel! Please do more interviews with professional spearfisher/freediver

[@DanielMann]

I will try.

[@kenspearfishingadventures]

Finally my inspiration Giacomo De Mola was featured in your channel. Thank you very much! I remember long time ago Giacomo offer me free of his masterclass.

[@Dashbo43]

Very informative video! Thanks a lot. Much love from Tunisia!

[@EthanYeo1]

Finally got around to watching your last couple videos! Once again the production quality was unreal. Really enjoying these style videos, love how educational yet entertaining they are 🙂 Did you guys end up cooking up the grouper?

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Ethan, glad you enjoyed them. I had to leave early the next day so didn’t get to try the white grouper. Hopefully I’ll get my own one day 🙂

@@DanielMann Cheers back at you ! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

[@MK-ox2sw]

Agreed! Species knowledge, and environment knowledge is vitally important👍 Glad you haven’t given up on GR. Tough fishing, but very rewarding. Anyone can shout fish when they are abundant. In GR waters you have to invested. Helps when you have some local insight of course… Keep up the good work!!

[@danielmetti8288]

Thank you Daniel for your video!

Nice video idol.. this will be my one of favorite video you’ve shared idol.. thank you world chams for all the helpful answer… keep safe always.. God bless

[@ImpactZoneSpearfishing]

Thanks for covering off on my question mate! thought that speices knowledge would be favoured but very nice to hear it from the horses mouth per say. deeper doesnt always equal better nice to know.

[@DanielMann]

If there are no fish at 46m it’s hard to shoot them 😆

[@alexmacdonald258]

Very interesting! I'm especially struck by the similarities between hunting big game here in America-elk and deer-and hunting fish. Knowing your prey and their environment is key to being successful. Thank you to both for a great video!!

[@TheBowhunterinNB]

Thank you gentlemen.

[@blueaddictionn]

very nice video we want more videos like that watching you from Tunisia 🇹🇳

[@DanielMann]

Thank you! Will do!

[@CameronSmithDiving]

That's some next level skill! Must feel very different hunting so deep. Would be pretty interesting dropping down on those wrecks!

I’m not going anywhere near his depths but it’s pretty cool to see what the human body can do.

@Daniel Mann I wasn't thanks for the video learnt alot 👌

[@smailspearfishing6408]

I want to ask about warming before dive, because when I go to sea sometimes I find I can't keep myself very close

[@marcchehab9562]

very beneficial thank you!!

[@marougarkovic3765]

Hey Daniel I wanted to ask since you’ve been fishing in the med a lot recently will you make a stop in Croatia at one point. Croatia has the 3 largest mediterranean coastline and pristine beaches and spearing locations especially the islands down south

[@DanielMann]

Hey Maro, I’ve been to Croatia in 2017 or 2018 I think. No spearfishing but a beautiful place for sure. Possibly going through this summer, see how it pans out.

[@GazzaJollyRoger8152]

Another very satisfying video for sure, thank you very much for doing what you do Daniel ! I enjoyed it while having breakfast this morning! The one question that wasn't asked, Does Mr.Giacomo De Mola ever do fresh water lake diving / spearfishing? 🔱God Speed, be safe!

[@user-bs8xl1vs9t]

hello daniel, i also am a very enthusiastic spearfisher since decades. i have seen the fish on the mediterranean coasts become less and less. there is a reason why in some countries of the mediterranean sea it's forbidden to shoot grouper. i know, i don't need to tell you: groupers have a territory. if you shoot them, there are no groupers anymore. you can not extinct wrasses and so on. but you can extinct groupers in a whole area. i also know italian guys, who say: look at them, how they approach us (just not in spearfishing areas), they are curious, very communicative. please leave them alone. so i ask you: couldn't you consider thinking about not shooting groupers in the med anymore? couldn't you consider to make a clip about this and to raise the awareness of your followers in this special topic. we both know, spearfishing is so much more than just freediving and watching fish. by hunting you get a much bigger understanding of the environment and an intense bond. and if you just eat the fish you catch and no fish of the industry, you are even doing something good. that's why i think, you will understand. let's shoot dentex and wrasses and jacks and so (as long as they are big enough). but let's just play and communicate with the groupers and leave them alone. i have seen so many fisherman who are so afraid of the embarrasment of getting out of the water without fish, so that they shoot virtually everything containing minute groupers. let's go for the big ones or nothing ;-) with kind regards, franz

[@spruik72]

Fascinating listening to the Q&A but also to see Giacomo's setup. I noticed many weights on his belt but no weight vest. Would this just be a personal preference or a better option if diving deep? He seemed to glide towards to bottom from only a few meters down. Great video as always....

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Jonathan, if you watch the previous video you can see a bit more about the setup with the variable ballast technique 👌

[@yanassi]

Really interesting. Thanks for this. I was surprised to see a simple 90cm pathos speargun, when so much more technically advanced equipment are available to giacomo. Knowledge and experience are key, but that applies regardless of the speargun used. I wondered why Giacomo preferred a simple small gun? Maneuverability? Shooting rocky crevices and tight holes? Simplicity of less parts?

[@DanielMann]

Versatility and knowledge of the area. He knows most fish will be inside holes and the 90 is perfect for that.

[@walidabbas-tw1fx]

thanks 👍

[@giovannionfiani4975]

Great buddy , very intresting points were discussed and beautiful images showed. Congratulatio to both of you. I use to spend vacation in greece , it belong to the past but if i don't mistake i have seen some places near finikunda....skiza , saphienza , venetico meybe am i wrong ?

Hello, Daniel, if you're doing the translation feature of Arabic or French so that we can take advantage of the information that I've been a follower since 2018

Hello, does anyone know how the foreigner can get spear fishing license in Italy?

[@DanielMann]

You don’t need a license in Italy.

[@mikhailbobrov9477]

@@DanielMann Hello Daniel, thank you for your videos and answer. Your works helped me understand a lot about this wonderful sport. About the license, as far as I know from what I read on Italian spearfishing websites is that locals have to “report” to authorities about spearfishing. So it doesn’t work with foreigners? Do you know any materials/forums/guides you can recommend that I can find/buy online to learn about basic rules in different countries? Thank you in advance for your answer

[@Timbuctoo]

He must be part fish!! Max for me is still about 15 to 18m, any deeper and it'll be a short visit on the bottom. For me though, it's about having the correct weight so that you are not fighting to much to get down. If you are fighting you won't have a breath hold.

[@DanielMann]

You also don’t want to be fighting on the way up either!

[@Timbuctoo]

@@DanielMann yeah correct. Good balance is what's needed especially with deeper dives.

[@ConstantineVas]

Nice video. How the hell an Englishman and an Italian went for spearfishing in Greece... hahahahaah. You should try to contact Giannis Sideris. Or Manolis Giankos,and arrange something.

[@DanielMann]

Both fantastic spearfishers. Giannis doesn't live too far from here so maybe next time.

I can't help but think the Med is Dead and way over fished. There are no sharks there because there isn't anything for them to eat [because it is over fished]. It has got to be time to stop fishing completely in the Med.
