[@BacktoBasics]

Hopefully this is your new 'normal'. The absolute dream, great Episode legends.

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers fellas! Hopefully see you out there at some stage!

[@ALLGODSDIE]

This was kick ass !! The shark was like heck yes! I got 2 human's to chill with.. I love the spear fishing.. And I see y'all just got a girl hooked on spear fishing.. She got 2 nice one's.. Y'all be safe and no more beach front.. I hope y'all got it off safely..

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers Keith! We love the spearfishing too, nothing more rewarding than putting someone onto their first fish! Peta did really well! Yep no more beach front! Take care!

The coro trout was sooo good! Never had luck on those sneaky buggers, they either make a huge run as soon as they see me, or duck into a cave right when I line them up

[@TheKYMB01]

Great Vid as usual. What was the idea for the anchor bridle off the side of the boat ?

[@sailingpopao]

Thanks Kym! The way the boat was sitting meant the solar was shaded half the day, because it was so calm we side bridled it and had the sun on the panels throughout the day 👌

[@danartriatmojo]

Guys on flat water like that, is it humid and feeling sweaty all the time or not? because I saw there is no wind/breeze or whatsoever. PS: Glitch on 11:07

[@sailingpopao]

Definitely, it’s a good time to go diving! Ahh spewing about that glitch! Cheers for the heads up!

[@flipspearing]

I’ve heard you say that before about spanno and only good when fresh? Do you vac bag ya fish? Because I find Spanish awesome frozen as well as fresh

[@sailingpopao]

We don’t have the vac pack onboard but do at home, we find the oil in the flesh seems to go a bit fishy over time 🤷‍♂️

[@sparcousa]

How does the purple cod taste compared to a barra cod(if you guys remember or recently consumed) Don't think it will be fair to compare it with a coral or coronation trout?

[@sailingpopao]

Haven’t tried a Barra cod unfortunately but I hear they are hard to beat! Definitely different to a trout. Lots of fat like other cod, we love them!

[@sparcousa]

@@sailingpopao tough to be no doubt. Man, with kind of pristine reef and abundance life, you guys should do a taste test comparison between few species of snappers and trouts. Like what you did previously with the crustaceans. Surely some of us would appreciate that 😅

[@sailingpopao]

If we have too 😂

Congratulations on the Coronation Trout, the Purple Cod looked mighty tasty too! Quick question though, when you bleed the fish in the water, don't you up your chances of the Ocean Tax Collectors coming in to claim their share? - Curious in Canada

[@sailingpopao]

Thanks! They are both really tasty fish. There is usually always sharks around or close by, the struggling of a fish already is a huge dinner bell, we think the blood is literally just adding another drop in the ocean so to speak!

[@canucklehead0]

@@sailingpopao Thank-you, I was very curious as I've seen this practice of bleeding the fish out, done by many Spearfishers on KZbin. It make sense to bleed the animal out, but to do it in such close proximity to active predators has made me wonder about the risks. Take care, and have fun!!

[@sailingpopao]

No worries, happy to help! The small extra risk in our opinion is worth the huge extra eating qualities of the fish.

[@canucklehead0]

@@sailingpopao I must agree, because it does look really tasty!! The trout, that Purple Cod and the Tuskfish out of all the species you hunt look particularly tempting,...and of course the numerous kinds of crayfish!

[@drift8021]

I am (probably irrationally) terrified of sharks. Seeing one swim up on ya is freaky. Any tips? Just bop them in the nose?

[@sailingpopao]

Definitely a bop on the nose where all their receptors are is *usually* more than enough to let the shark know who's boss. If you see one swimming erratically, pec fins pointed down, back arched that's when we get a bit concerned and keep on high alert, more often than not just move spots. Good luck!
