EVERY CORAL TROUT SPECIES IN THE WORLD - Spearfishing Fish in Focus

[@BacktoBasics]

Love how each species has their own characteristics and techniques to hunt them. Great video mate, glad that Vermicular Trout footage was helpful! Cheers, Strick.

[@DanielMann]

Super helpful, made this video what it is. Cheers legend!

[@addidixon6185]

Go on a diving trip together plz🙏 It would be the best footage ever ❤️

[@BacktoBasics]

@@addidixon6185 Would love to dive with Dan the Mann... but just not in anywhere below 25 degrees 🥶Haha! Maybe a Doggies trip to the Pacific Islands when we are allowed to travel again?

[@fuckthatcrapnameshit]

Don't you say that if it could never happen :) Sounds like a stunning 2 x 30 Minutes in front of my Screen :D

[@markuslebt]

Back to basics my ass. Take it as it is or go eat potato chips on your fartsy couch with xour 4k tv rig.

[@HarryLindley]

You learn something new everyday. Esp when Dan uploads.

[@DanielMann]

You talking about trout or DaVinci 😂

[@HarryLindley]

Daniel Mann def both lol

[@sponsoredbykfc3955]

19:49 I was like “oh crap that’s the video already done” I was too busy soaking up information to care😂

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Trav, glad you didn’t fall asleep.

[@johnholding5982]

Your editing never ceases to amaze, I hope soon enough you'll be able to do this full time if you wish to. I'm sure lots of people have already mentioned collaborating with YBS or Nick Fry and I think it would do a great deal to increase the reach of your videos. cheers

[@fishwithcarl]

Wow that was a mouth full of Latin 😂 Beautifully shot as always and full of useful info! Getting me hyped to try some spearfishing this year!

[@DanielMann]

I think I still stuffed up the pronunciation on some of them. Latin is not my strong point, nor anything other than English for that matter.

[@judahlarry3781]

sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tips you can give me.

@Judah Larry Instablaster ;)

[@judahlarry3781]

@Rory Cayson Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@judahlarry3781]

@Rory Cayson It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account!

[@peppipoohductionswakashunt3157]

I’m a bowhunter not a spearo but your vids are one of the very few I can sit and watch the whole thing. I love the cat and mouse of both sports and having to learn your game’s habits and mannerisms is all part of the fun and going that extra mile makes you a better hunter. Can’t wait for the next one mate, regards from Warwick QLD👍

[@DanielMann]

Cheers Peppi, are you after red deer out in Warwick? I’ve only been there for work once as an apprentice many moons ago.

[@peppipoohductionswakashunt3157]

Daniel Mann Yeah mate I’ve been chasing them the last few weekends, the big fellas are playing hard to get, their answering the calls but not coming into bow range, I had a young stag at 13m last week and my drop away rest played up and sprayed the arrow big time. I’m having another crack at them this weekend and have a pretty good plan so fingers crossed

[@tobystewart4403]

It's always complex, when you are playing cat and mouse down a deep rabbit hole, with fish. Great video, Dan. Quality writing and production.

[@DanielMann]

It’s a bit of a menagerie 😂

[@joeenglish2720]

Awesome video as always from the Mann himself! Really got me pumped to do some overseas diving, they look like a fun fish to hunt. And I honestly can't tell you enough how well put together your videos are, they're superb. Thanks for keeping us entertained during lockdown!

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Joe 🙏🏻

[@Steve1974ification]

Hi Dan. Love your arm chair reflective style. You have a great story and thanks for sharing it! Steve. Perth WA

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Steve, not much else I can do in the way of videos at the moment in UK lockdown 😞

[@Steve1974ification]

Daniel Mann Hi mate. Went out with my son on weekend and got a few nice Dhu fish. He got a 17kg one which was fantastic. We can still fish here which I’m grateful for. Keep it up Dan appreciate what you do.

[@charliefane3613]

hi daniel just wanted to say that you are a big inspiration throughout these hard times and you have got me into spearfishing thanks

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Charlie!

[@peterczislowski183]

Well done Dan! I loved the shots on the old Yellow Sub! I remember you spearing 2, You inspired me to get one. And I have! Keep up you great work. Kind regards Peter

[@DanielMann]

How is the old yellow sub going Pete? Still getting out and amongst it with VB?

[@CoatesmansSpearfishing]

That was insane. Learnt so much. Now I know why I have never seen a big 'Football' trout. Great job!

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Chris! They used to be separate records in Australia. I think the footballer was in at around 6kg.

[@slow_diver]

Love a good fishy nerd session 😍

[@justhangini6706]

Some nice piscatorial facts there Mr Mann . 😎👌🧜🏻‍♀️🐟🇦🇺

[@BrettThompsonfishing]

Great content as usual Daniel. As you were running through the list of trout by their proper names I literally asked myself how are you pulling that off in one shot. We appreciate the effort that goes into perfecting these video. Keep em coming. Looking forward to the next one as always! 🍻

[@DanielMann]

No teleprompter in my house 😎

[@kaitoyanai1298]

I gave it a thumbs up before the video even ended. Wonderful information

[@DanielMann]

Thank you!

[@adamsmith749]

Very informative and interesting video on Coral and Coronation trout. Thanks for putting this video together Dan. This will help inform and educate current and future generations of spearfishers.

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Adam! It has been pointed out to me I got the wrong Ashmore reef for your record vermicular, my apologies.

[@adamsmith749]

@@DanielMann Yes it was caught at the east coast Ashmore Reef a long time ago

[@mathewryan7005]

That was freaking awesome! My one and only Coronation Trout taken off Musgrave is the highlight of my spearing career to date. I must have chased 20 or 30 of them over the last 5 years .... such a cunning, beautiful and delicious beastie.

[@DanielMann]

We can all relate to that, cunning things.

[@ImpactZoneSpearfishing]

Fully peaked my marine bio brain haha really knowledgeable and insightful video mate! Well done!

[@DanielMann]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@smailspearfishing6408]

You have good videos since I started diving and I am following you and waiting for your clips Thank you for the effort Greetings to you from Morocco

[@vanzijlp]

Great information in that video - I have saved for reference for when I get to Oz for a diving trip. Thanks, Daniel

[@DanielMann]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dougbourdo2589]

Excellent video Dan. Super interesting & informative. Great job.

[@nathank8314]

Good vid. Great information on probably the most commonly targeted species by spearos and liners. Thumbs up for the abrohlos mention👍👍👍

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Nathan, I’d love to be there right now.

[@DomFisher91]

Thanks Daniel love your videos learned almost everything I know about hunting different kinds of fish from yourself and Tim. Thank you again from Cairns Aus 👌

[@TorsteinFla]

Cant wait to se more videos from the northern waters (Norway) when this pandemic relaxes a bit. Great video as always!

[@yahzuefough5962]

Quality content 💯 Here in st.kitts we have one type of coral trout ...We call it the butter trout ..Its black and white before you spear it then it goes either high red or light brown in colour...They only grow to about 2lbs thou.

[@DanielMann]

That’s pretty cool, any idea what the scientific name is?

[@bertgoesbang]

Thanks Daniel. Love your style of editing. No ego, just awesome footage and great knowledge. I've only been spearfishing for three years and have learnt so much from your content. Keep them coming!!! By the way - we get trout 90km+ offshore on our fishing missions here (50m depth). Cheers from the Pilbara 🤙

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Robbie 🙏🏻

[@teamdilligafffishing4058]

Loved the vid. Thank you. MORE please.

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Thomas, more to come.

[@andreas716]

Hey Dan, absolutely love everything that you do and videos you produce. For people like me who are total newbies with no mates who can introduce us to the sport, a longer video/new series based entirely on starting spearfishing from complete novice would be so helpful. Something where you talk about entry level guns/wet suits/techniques/gear setups all in one place, as it doesn't exist anywhere on youtube?

[@DanielMann]

It’s definitely in the cards to do a series like this.

[@fishhunter348]

Thoroughly enjoyed this top quality vid, thanks for putting it together and sharing!

[@superc4308]

Good stuff D Mann 👍🏻

[@AfricanSpearfishingDiaries]

Very cool video Daniel. Very informative and cool to know the difference as I have heard quiet a few arguments about these guys. Now we know. Good job thank you.

[@DanielMann]

Thanks for helping out with this one Barret 👌

[@AfricanSpearfishingDiaries]

Daniel Mann Of course man. Anytime

[@sailingpopao]

Epic as always mate, always learn something watching, cheers!

[@DanielMann]

Thanks mate, wonder if anyone has got the 7 species grand slam?

[@sailingpopao]

Daniel Mann yeah that would be a tricky one, proper word traveller pursuit

[@DanielMann]

If only you had some means of travel to do it 🤷‍♂️

[@sailingpopao]

Daniel Mann were just trying to get out of the Goldy at this stage! This corona virus is really impeding our trout grand slam, very inconvenient...

[@thehunterdownunder]

'The charge down method' definitely going to have to try this now haha. As always great vid mate.

Hi Mat, amazing content as usual thanks for sharing these high quality videos which make us dream.

[@laddventures6823]

So informative @Danielmann thanks mate, those coro trout are definitely hard to shoot, i have been chasing a couple out of brissy aswell they are cunning as anything, i’ll get one eventually 👍👍👍

[@DanielMann]

Definitely seen way more than I’ve shot. Cunning things but very rewarding once you get one.

Daniel Mann sure are mate, we will keep hunting thats for sure

Hey Dan, sick video... I wish we got some of these coral trout but it seems I will have to make a trip to Aus to shoot one... My personal favorite is the coronation trout stunning fish

[@DanielMann]

The coronation are something to behold. When you pull them up from the bottom they change from a dark brown which then goes to purple and then finally to the brilliant red on the surface.

[@tristanslaghuis7842]

Nice one Dan ! My first Trout was a passionfruit , very keen to tick off other species

[@DanielMann]

That pretty cool, where did your shoot that? Was it you also that shot a Sydney trout?

Daniel Mann Ha ha no not Sydney, that would be cool though! With local legend Darren Harley, was speared on an inshore reef off Cairns. Very cool fish

Thank you for the great content, as usual! I just noticed that you upgraded from filming in the kitchen to the living room :) I used to spear coral trouts in the Red Sea. Beautiful and tasty fish.

[@DanielMann]

Still in the kitchen, just facing the other way! Still on lockdown in the UK so my wife and I are both working from home, not much space in our little flat.

[@anas_alsayed]

@@DanielMann Then I salute you for the camera angle and lighting. I like your content and hope you keep it up. Have a good day!

[@findingjoe]

Not into spearfishing personally, would love to try one day, but subscribe for the amazing quality and fishing footage. Keep it up. I do love a fishing channel that prides itself on quality footage audio and lighting.

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Joe, that's a massive compliment to have a line fisher subscribe. People can handle bad looking footage but bad audio is the worst.

[@findingjoe]

@@DanielMann I may perhaps steal your filming on a sofa idea that's brilliant.

[@DanielMann]

The sofa actually helps with audio when the shotgun mic is pointed at it. Stops reverb.

[@DanielMann]

Hey Marcelo, it’s what we call whip coral. Kind of a semi soft coral that comes from certain areas. If you find a big patch with fern coral in 30m you’re almost always in for some fish action.
