My first time spearfishing for DOGTOOTH TUNA !

This was the first time I ever had a chance at hunting doggies and it was in Tonga with Tim McDonald. Looking forward to hunting these power houses again one day!

Back in the early 70s you could buy power heads and shark darts. Totally legal. I had 2 power heads which is simply a bullet on the end of your spear shaft. For big fish like sharks,tuna etc i would use my 12 guage power head and for smaller fish i would use my 44 magnum as the 12 gauge would make to much mess of the fish and 9 times out if 10 my spear shaft bent upon exploding on the fish. Illegal nowadays but they were great fun to use during those days. I bought my first power head and shark dart when i was 16 from a sports shop in the city called Mick Simmons. I was inspired about spearfishing by a diver named Ben and his wife Valerie Cropp. Great video. It brought back a lot if good memories

Ali-OG here are some tips that might be obvious but could be help if u dont know them 1 when you’re down try to relax most of your body because more moving uses up way more oxygen 2 increase your breath hold just hold your breath a lot practice exerciseing whilst holding your breath it can help a lot in improving your breath hold and I just realized this comment is from 10 months ago but I’ll just send it anyway

[@mytube4242]

Anyone who thought that killing fish for the sake of it wasn't a good idea

[@jameswillingmusic]

They eat everything they catch..

[@mytube4242]

This is not a thinking persons reply. Do some sums - fish killed, the numbers of days on a visit, etc. Your reply is nonsense - I am a fisherman and have a marine biology degree, I fish for tropical pelagic fish yellowfin, gts, doggies, etc and release them. I suspect you either don't know what you are talking about, or think that telling a mistruth is a reasonable way of deflecting from the concern discussed here - gratuitous waste.

[@DanielMann]

You would be naive to think that catch and release fishing has no mortality. Catch a mackerel and it’s nearly always going to die, no point in releasing it. Yes the sharks got my fish but they also didn’t get another? That’s the ocean and we ate what we put in the boat.

[@mytube4242]

Not that I made that claim, did I ? I commented on how killing a clutch of fish for entertainment was wasteful, and is certainly not ' just for supper'.

[@stanleycates1972]

Riffe mid handles shoot high or low (experience) that's why the started making the euro with the handle on the end. My #2 standard shot high, my NoKaOi shot low. I think all euro designs are accurate with the handle on the end. Adding wings to a mid handle is trying to compensate for the shot oscillation.

Shalala actually, fish dont feel lain the way we humans do, they feel touch, and such, so it was probably more like a very uncomftable feeling more than a painfull one, still, i would only use such techniques if im eating my prey

Had a Riffe MetalTech 5 and it's so different to aim vs my 120 Riffe Euro. Mid handle guns take some getting used to when you have been shooting rear handle and euro type guns. Great vid, dive safe.

[@DanielMann]

I would shoot mid handled guns so infrequently that I would build myself a big rear handled gun if I was ever to go again.

[@trinifishstix]

Daniel Mann heck yeah, I'd do the same. I lost my Euro to a large cubera snapper and was forced to get accustomed to my mid handle. Comes down to what type u have practice with i guess.

[@DanielMann]

No reason you can’t Brandon, if you want something go and do it!

[@marvinboone3342]

In Australia mainly along NSW Coast like around Newcastle and around like batemans bay

[@DanielMann]

Best bet is to get in contact with the Newcastle Neptunes spearfishing club. They will be able to teach you how to do it safely and you will learn heaps more through a club than by yourself. For kit going off the rocks you'll obviously need mask, snorkel & fins. A wetsuit is a must to be able to stay in for any period of time which will also need a weight belt. A speargun around 100-110cm would be perfect around there with a single rubber and 7mm spear. Rob Allen make a nice rail gun and have entry level models that are top notch. A float and flag with a rig line will be needed as well. I've dived those areas and boat traffic can be heavy. If you are down in Sydney check out Adreno Spearfishing. Massive store and they are good guys which will be happy to help on gear selection to any budget.
