Sharks feeding frenzy on that school of baitfish was Nat Geo material!!

[@aocfishman00]

Thanks...it was crazy...and we hung out for like 10-15 minutes. I may do a video of just that footage as it was mesmerizing.

[@exoticflorida2360]

Been watching Dan’s videos for a while now and very cool to see these trips from another perspective and more above water footage. Bravo!

[@aocfishman00]

More to come!

[@zacharysinger5370]

No joke, I would pay for the unedited full films of all the spots......These videos are absolutely my favorite thing to watch on YT. Thanks for sharing Dan.....

[@matthew_kiely]

I live in Clearwater and charters and local dudes with big boats, are very protective of their spots, even on charters they take your phones so you can't record the GPS co-ord and then give your phone back once they have left the spot, they also don't like stopping within sight of another boat as guys are "spying" on each other.

[@blakeshaw5272]

You and Dan bringing back the groceries!

[@garytull7730]

Love the drone footage, especially the baitball. Excellent job assembling this awesome compilation 👍

[@aocfishman00]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tommystrickland2861]

That was awesome to see different footage and to actually see Dan from another perspective, loved every minute please do more, you guys are the best.

[@aocfishman00]

You got it!

[@richardvila1173]

Love your videos, excellent camera footage under and above. Fan of Dan!

[@aocfishman00]

Thank you very much!

A new perspective, I have been subscribed to Dan and just found you. Best of both worlds, thanks.

[@aocfishman00]

Awesome, thank you!

[@mrhalfapino]

I love the editing style of you videos! You get all the “top shots” plus drone footage of the boat! I’m so glad I came cross your channel. Other than Dan do the other guys post videos?

[@aocfishman00]

Thanks so much!!

[@Grottolova]

Search Rich Waters. It's likely in your suggested video feed too

[@southcoaster4142]

Great footage, all over really enjoyed it, top stuff. Paul Australia. Cheer's.

[@joerevels8198]

Excellent drone footage. Good to see same dive but different view.

[@aocfishman00]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Topdawg-ib9mz]

That old man is Experienced enough to know you never load a gun in the boat…. Great shots great footage always love the vids suppose to be taking a trip out there end of June can’t wait…

[@tomjones7853]

I load on the boat all the time. Not having a loaded gun on a boat is for charter trips with unexperienced divers.

[@walterweaver5040]

Nice I love your vids as much as your Partners

[@aocfishman00]

Thanks for watching!

[@befmx31]

:42 seconds in....love it!

[@mdv2043]

Well that looked like ole Dan the fish sniper...and I have heard of the pipes before...good video keep em coming.

[@aocfishman00]

Thanks, will do!

[@mohamedramees8027]

Really enjoyed watching…

[@brianblizzard7591]

Wow, that bait pod was one of the coolest things I have seen. Awesome footage.

[@Florida_Adventures]

Great video and enjoyed meeting you a few weeks ago at the Burt Reynolds ramp.

[@daresuarez8280]

Very niceeee

[@aocfishman00]

Thanks a lot

[@jkfishnhunt684]

Great video quality but what I can't stand in any outdoor video whether it be hunting fishing or diving is background music. The thing I like about Dan's videos there not over produced.

[@aocfishman00]

Understood. You can't make everyone happy...and audio is always one of the most actively commented aspects of KZbin videos it seems (versus actual content). On one of my other not over-produced spearing videos ("The Pipes") where there is no background music and just ambient audio, a commenter said "I love spear videos but absolutely cannnnot stand the audio that comes with. Most aggravating noise in the world". So...yeah.

[@jaytua730]

Nice footage and music

[@davidbrown5906]

Big Sailfish. Very cool video.

[@aocfishman00]

Thanks for watching!

[@captnronfl]

Very cool.....

[@Noobee65]

Will you give us a gear/boat review since Dan won’t?

[@aocfishman00]

I'll see what we can do....

[@recifedepeixes]

Second to that...

[@lonlayton4080]

Life long fisherman but NOT a diver. Love Dan's vids now I'm subscribed to yours. Bunch of questions but I'll limit it to two. First, obviously y'all target the gags because they pay the best but why? I've seen Dan pass up nice red grouper but having eaten both I couldn't tell much difference. Secondly, why don't y'all use powerheads for these fish as it seems much time is waisted retrieving fish that weren't 'stoned'? Does it spook other fish?

[@aocfishman00]

Hi Lon - a lot of this comes down to quota and economics. Once you use up your allocated quota share for red grouper or red snapper, for instance, you need to either buy or lease quota from another individual to land any more of that species for that year. And if you lease it, the owner takes money off the top...so if you were getting say $6/pound under your quota, but when you lease it you need to pay the quota owner $4/pound, you are now only making $2/pound for those fish. So, that may be part of the equation depending on the time of year, etc. Or, a 20-pound gag simply pays more than a 10-pound red grouper. Just depends I guess. I think the powerhead use on fish in the Gulf is frowned upon by the buyer (outside of AJs), though I know they use them in the Atlantic. Thanks for subscribing!

[@TommyBedley]

Awesome video brother! Love watching your vids! I’d kill to dive with you 🤙

Does this boat launch from Hernando Beach?

[@aocfishman00]

Hudson Beach

[@waterskipilot145]

Nice looking boat. What is it?

[@aocfishman00]

It's a 44' Tempest hull that was custom built-up for commercial fishing.

[@romancan3463]

great video, some online store where to buy the type of harpoon with a closed head thank you greetings

They are custom guns built by the Headhunter guys.

No, sorry. They only make them for their own use.

It would be super crazie if you had the balls. To take a shark in the bait fish ball ?

[@aocfishman00]

I'll pass...LOL

[@alfredolopes7508]

Not very loyal to spearfishing with a Bottle, and a lot easier. In Portugal the navy police will confiscate your entire material if you get caught doing it.

[@aocfishman00]

Good thing we were not diving in Portuguese waters then.

[@alfredolopes7508]

@@aocfishman00 but you should come here and try, you would not be disappointed.

[@mraeromech]

Ditch the music

[@MarcosIturribeitia]

spearfishing with scuba diving tanks is not fair, not sporting and It is ecological crime in several countries...

[@aocfishman00]

Not in this country where we have responsible and sustainable fishery management. Your mileage may vary. Thanks for watching.
