Return to the Arctic - HALIBUT Spearfishing in freezing waters

[@TrailerYacht]

Talk about the adventure of a lifetime - living your dreams with your eyes wide open Daniel. Better still you are making video masterpieces along the way. You had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through, cheering you and your mates on. Brilliant trip, mind-blowing location, incredible fish handled respectfully, and a fantastic group of mates. I don't know how you do this - but every video gets better. Better technically & superbly-crafted stories. Can't believe this is not an adventure channel on Netflix.

[@DanielMann]

Thank you very much mate, really appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@tim42310]

Hey Dan, I spearfish over here in Washington USA. It’s cold here too. I’m trying to figure out what the little vests some of your buddies are wearing are for? Extra warmth or???

[@DanielMann]

Hey Tim they are weight vests to hold extra lead due to the really thick wetsuits.

[@martingoodef811]

Trailer Yacht Daniels narration and great voice bring his story telling to a level of relaxation and enjoyment unequalled with this type of video, loving joining his adventures and sharing with my family

[@benpettersen5904]

nice going. was a naval diver in Norway for 11 yrs. in the 80's. never approach a flatfish directly from behind or front -- then you'll spook them. Approach from side and fake passing. I used only a 6 ft sling back in the days...everything went down. happy hunting

[@robertlafnear4865]

I MUST COMMENT !... I've been a diver since 1972 ( U.S. Navy )... did recreational diving 'til I was 47 all over Hawaii & California and I chased big Halibut in the sand flats along the Santa Barbara Chanel Islands, White Seabass in the kelp off Palos Verde cliffs and your video is the best Diving/Spearfishing video yet......AWESOME .... I know COLD and it looked COLD but the thrill of the chase......... PRICELESS ! ........ CONGRATULATIONS on a great Dive Adventure !

[@DanielMann]

Thanks for the kind words Robert. I made another video about the trip before this looking for halibut which featured some bigger fish but not quite as cold.

[@joeswanson1267]

Hey man, just wanted to say that I am an ‘aspiring’ spear fisherman, and I am 14. You’re videos are so awesome to watch and I just would like to let you know that people appreciate things like this. It’s clear that you put heaps of time into these videos and they inspire me to spearfish. Thanks

[@karlpetterulvan1013]

Now i want to go out and look for halibut but it is -2c° where i live in norway and my wetsuit is only 6,5mm thick. I think im going to stay inside.. 😂

[@DanielMann]

-2 is not so tropical. I had a 9.5mm jacket, kept me toasty in the water.

[@stefpix]

@@DanielMann did you have 7 mm pants? How did it feel in 9.5 mm? How do you carry the weights on the plane? Do you have to pay overweight fees?

[@DanielMann]

I had 7.5mm Forza tre pants and the 9.5mm jacket is straight smooth skin so super comfortable and oh so warm. I checked the 5kg weight vest in with one of my bags and just took 5kg of weights in my belt carry in. Norwegian Air and SAS have no problems with dive weights I’ve found. More interested in the plethora of camera equipment I’m usually taking.

[@stefpix]

@@DanielMann Thank you. Did you dive last year with a 5.5mm? A friend went to Guadeloupe and he had to leave his weights behind as they would not allow them on the plane. I heard some times elsewhere there are problems with individual weights more than 2 lbs / 1 kg. Anyway I'd love to go back to Norway and this time spearfish. Is it very pricey? it is one of the most beautiful places I have been to.

[@DanielMann]

No way I’d use a 5.5mm in Norway. I rarely use my 5.5mm in the U.K. either. I had a 7.5mm jacket. 1.5mm undervest and 6.5mm pants last year. Was 10-12 degrees but the air temp was mid teens so not so bad. Was borderline. I’d go thicker, it’s always going to be cold there. This trip was circa £1K from the U.K. with flights, accommodation, car hire, boat hire, car fuel, boat fuel and food which we brought from the U.K. and Italy.
