Tips for spearfishing Yellowtail Kingfish

[@HarryLindley]

Haha thanks for the call mate, some pearls in this video! Now i just need to use the tip of getting into the water, to try catch another ! Back to that, hooroo.

[@BacktoBasics]

This channel is absolute gold! A 10 minute video fast tracks what would take years to learn underwater

[@DanielMann]

Thanks lads! Merry Christmas, looking forward to the Christmas cray lunch cook up on the ‘gram 💪

make a tutorial on how to shoot leatherjackets... the most lethal fish throughout Australia

[@Oceanwazza]

I’ve seen them take dogs swimming on the surface...

[@pobox9755]

@thors blot i once seen a leather take out a cruise ship with one bite, im suprised your friends brother even had anything left of him to drag to shore. :O

[@francinewalker67]

Hahaha besides the joke, I’ve just grabbed one they are do lazy 😆

[@FrontierOutdoorsman]

Just bought my first speargun last week while I was in Maui. I've been dreaming about spear fishing for YEARs and your videos helped me get my nerve up to finally do it. I only had 1 day to hunt, but it was a huge learning curve. Pulled the trigger twice and missed horribly both times. Can't wait for the next trip!!

[@o.antonio]

"I've shot King fish in some extreme dirty water. 4, 5 meters" Ahaha, *laughs in Portuguese*

[@DanielMann]

By Australian standards that's pretty filthy! All relative. I've shot barramundi in 1-2m vis before.

[@eminozpnar1076]

I remember times that I couldn't even see the Spears point.

The way he said “chilly bin”. Spot on

[@fuckthatcrapnameshit]

nice colab with Harry!

[@markjvairy]

Also letting your mate shoot the first kingy allows you shoot a bigger one as the king school follows up the speared fish , this gives you a better pickings at a closer range most of the time

[@DanielMann]

I knew I forgot to add one part! I even had footage of them following a speared fish 🤷‍♂️

[@markjvairy]

Daniel Mann another great video though 👊

[@johnholding5982]

The editing keeps getting better each episode keep it up! If you're ever in WA we would all love to see you collaborate with Brodie from Youngbloods. Yeww

If there is a sale on London to Perth flights with Qantas let me know 😎

Two of my fav you tubers

[@duncanhalliday3655]

Got my first kingfish of the summer on Saturday, fried with Cajun seasoning is really nice.

[@salgadogp1]

Hamachi Kama is my favorite yellowtail dish. And likely the easiest recipe one could find. The collars are often overlooked, but a real delicacy on this fish.

[@DanielMann]

Collars and wings are always overlooked but some of the best meat on the fish.

[@tonogaratebuser8420]

Thanks for the tip, i caught one once near surface, in 3 m, of water. fought a lot. it was 5 kilos.

[@nfragala]

You are awesome. I dive Rockport & Gloucester, MA. If you ever want to dive rocky New England coastline or hit up Block Island for striper, lmk. Thank you, Dan!

[@aggintnuc447]

Finally!!! I have always been wanting a kingfish video from you, thanks

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Thanks Man, I took notes 👌

[@galaxystar703]

Such great technique stunning video makes me wanna go back and try my own hand at it. The vibes, wakes my instinct I wanna go, setup a playlist with Metallica and Delta Parole and go off into my own world right this moment.

Good luck mate!

[@findingjoe]

Found an awesome reef out from Newhaven Victoria bout 30km out which should produce some good Kingfish.

[@mitchellheaven8219]

Another great video thanks for the tips

[@finnmcgreal881]

loved the vid this fish has been on my bucket list since I started spearing and I've just had bad luck with them ever since but I'm pretty keen on spearing one after watching this vid

[@fuckthatcrapnameshit]

Have fun in Austria! If you feel the people are grumpy, it's just our lifestyle ;) don't break a leg!!!!

[@nigelbarrett3602]

Thanks for another great video Daniel. Not many kingfish in Cornwall but nice to see fish 🐟🐟from other parts of the world. Have a great Xmas and a happy New year looking forward to next years adventures.👍👍

[@I_am_Deliverer]

That’s a great James Mason look mate! Jealous!

[@castandspear]

Clean vid as always man! Solid king footage and tips right there.

[@Titannz213]

Did alot of Spearfishing, late 70's early 90's alot with a Chap called Alan langton (RIP) also held world Kingfish Record back then. We commonly used a spronger on the on the shaft which tended to splay out on impact and do alot more damage, particulary when hit along spine line you had a good chance of taking out a vital piece, Just dont seem to see many of the modern Spear'os using a sprong head.

[@DanielMann]

I think in Australia we call a similar device a pranger. Brass base with 6 barbs soldered in, came in 6" and 8" varieties. I use them in certain situations.

[@pixi7152]

Another AMAZING video!! Please make more like this

[@MaFam2023]

That was great advice

[@CameronSmithDiving]

Haven't seen one in Tassie yet, but really hoping to come across one before they leave us at the end of season. Love your tips on pulling them in. Easy to overlook safety when you're excited about a new fish!

[@joseluisvargas4430]

Great video

[@EthanYeo1]

If only you posted this video a few days earlier 😫 I shot my first kingfish the other day and after battling with it for a few minutes it my spear broke off as I was handling it in the water and it swam off 😭 any tips for handling it and dispatching it in the water? Also I’ll be sure to tag you guys in the video though when I upload it! 👍

[@DanielMann]

Once it’s tired out and you can bring it to the surface grab their tail, can’t swim very far without that. Then slide the other hand into the gills and grab the throat. Release grip on tail, grab knife and finish it off.

[@EthanYeo1]

Daniel Mann awesome will definitely do that next time! I had a hold of the tail but my grip wasn’t strong enough and it broke free 😭

[@maxmackinlay618]

Good info, I was going to hold it under my armpit.

Good tips. I am in Sydney for the last 7 months, chased some kingies here. Shot two but they tore off. Tomorrow coming back to the UK :(

[@DanielMann]

Thats a shame, this time of year is probably best for Sydney.

[@muratmustafa4532]

Daniel Mann yeah the worst part is to leave Sydney behind and to turn back to the UK. I never considered spearing in the UK before, but this time I might try to get involved.

[@RobinsonBrothers]

Awesome stuff legend got my first kingfish this year, can’t wait to implement these tips of yours 🤙🏽

Find a shallow clear spot and shoot at a target 100 times. You will hit everything after that!

If I go to Norway diving it's not for pike! Halibut, cod, coal fish, monkfish, scallops.

The Adriatic is very difficult 😫

[@kienansmith2820]

You should make one on spearing trout 😁

[@DanielMann]

Not much technique required on those I’m afraid, would be a short video!

[@kienansmith2820]

Or maybe finding them, like what tides, what side of the reef and stuff like that. Probably still be a short video ahahah

[@kizzjd9578]

Trout are easy, they actually come towards you to see what you are.. they are quite inquisitive. Slow down your movements and they will feel more relaxed. As for where to find them, any reef that has abit of current. Don't think ive ever not seen them.

[@pumped2kamootie988]

Yellow fin is the king of fishes

[@uhudla42]

Again a great video, even without kingfish here in Europe. Offtopic Question. Do you shave your beard a bit under the nose for diving, or does your mask fits that good and does not leak though the facial hair?

[@DanielMann]

I always shave a little under the nose/top lip before a dive. The rest of the beard is fine.

[@danberntsen6998]

You are a big inspirator 👍 i have never tryed spearfishing , but after watching youre channel i am gonna start. But first i need all the gear . All i have is wetsuit and abc. Do you have some tips on what to get . Type ,Gun / floate ? Greatings from South of Norway .

No gun as on holiday nor camera to record my childlike screaming as the battery was dead The kayak hire dude, 200 yards away on the shore, said I was screaming.

Merry Christmas Daniel, hope you have a great skiing trip. Tasty, tasty Kingfish are my favourite LBG species and available here in NSW almost all year round. The big ones are really dirty fighters even on heavy gear off the stones and you earn every one you land. It must be full on hand-to-hand combat when you spear a big one - if you don't get that instant stone shot. BTW, you have superb IQ in your interview sections of the video. Still using the GH5 ?
