What an episode. Hands down best content in this genre on the net anywhere i reckon by far. Spear fishing, catch n cooks, camping, your kick back humble as dont talk too much shit like most of them lol

[@aleho1]

I agree with you cuz, NZ is one of the only places left in the world that has fish life like the rest of the oceans used to.

[@wilmaterna4667]

we really shouldn't advertise it @@aleho1

[@Rainersherwood]

I recommend key west waterman for similar vibes - underwater commentary paired with insane spearfishing skill. For rod and reel and kayak fishing, Rokkit kit is pretty dang good too and just about the most humble guy I’ve ever seen.

[@muhammedPies]

Thank you, after watching this id rather use takle gear 😅

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cheers mate, appreciate that. definitely enough yelling and screaming 'survival' stuff out there. Feel free to comment any suggestions or feedback for me to better my videos, just want to share what i experience and if i can do that better let me know. Cheers, Ollie

[@connielasher3126]

This is such a great channel. Ollie's quiet style and humility are refreshing, and his expertise is wonderful to watch. Thank you for taking us along and showing us your beautiful country and its marine life.

[@mram7634]

As a Pacific Islander living in the USA, I salute you! That scene with your king fish and sharks following you made me nervous as hell lol. Great video, Ollie! Keep up the great work 🤙🏼

[@Rainersherwood]

Ollie you’re an absolute beast. Don’t understand how you’re so confident while spearing alone. Damn impressive. Enjoy some fresh yellowtail sashimi for me!

[@handyandy6887]

Holy crap that encounter with those bronzies was intense...nearly fell of the bed😂 Always love your videos. Cheers mate👍

[@aleho1]

That was so intense with that massive kingy..to be doing that in that bit of water solo, that was not far off being a full blown shitshow…. In that current, solo with water in the goggles while hugging the catch while it’s still thrashing… while trying to swim against the current… with the bronze in a place you can’t see.. That is heart pumping. Don’t do that solo people, this fella is very very experienced and manages to stay calm because he knows exactly what is going on based on experience. But don’t do this solo. ❤

[@samuelembleton5440]

Ollie you legand. Can't believe you held on to that fish. Nerves of steel bro

[@boydp5004]

Also, thank you for identifying the fish. I appreciate being able to identify the fish.

[@notyouravaragesavage9172]

Living on the wild side today mate, amazing fish bro. Stay safe out there Ollie and thank you for taking us on your adventures and sharing your life and passions here with us here.

[@Kumukarl]

Where you get to call home is such a beautiful place! Epic fish, and the new boat is looking 🔥. Keep trusting your gut and stay safe on these solo missions bro!

[@jimr5855]

you are f-ing crazy to have stuck with the kingy :-) Loved this this episode!

[@brianandrews1760]

Another superb video, beautifully made and narrated. I also really enjoy your background music, very appropriate - not noisy and jarring like so much of the (so called) music that accompanies most KZbin videos these days. Thanks and please keep up the good work!

[@dinho890i]

Suuuuubbed You're a legend for not dropping that fish mate 😅

[@samual3467]

Ollie How Do. Just quintessential chap. Absolute admiration for the respect you afford all species below the boat and totally commendable your respect for your boat & gear. Perfectly tidy. Be very proud of yourself. With Best Regards Sam.

[@debramage739]

Stunning scenery, but those bronzes would have me in a poo. Great catch though Ollie, you are a brave man 😊😊

[@maoriboy6556]

Ollie this one is truly a banger 🙌 your breathe hold is amazing 👏 Love seeing each upload you post! You and the boat seem to evolve in each one 💪 The tent set up is epic! Would it be possible to get some sort of mosquito netting fitted to tent cover? The paua and onion looked really yummy also that snapper curry ohh drooling over here 😂 Your journey has been epic man keep em coming 🙌 😎

[@AK-qu6rw]

Ollie you have balls of steel, buy I hope you don't have to change your channel to Lefty Craig in the near future. Love the beautiful waters and adventure. Great video and stay safe.

[@chrisbetter3820]

Hello Legend, First of all , HHHhUUUGGGEEE thank you for the adventures. I’m writing to you as I would like to suggest you that you should meet up with Mat from Pelagic Pursuit. 1- your KZbin channel sound similar , 2- both of you have a deep respect for the environment , 3- both of you are passionate about pursuing fish . Thank you once again for all . Chris from Crete

[@opetermcc]

Love the scenery Ollie and the accompany music to the vid.

[@stoicnavigator]

I finally found "the channel". The spearo, the fish, the boat, the bells and whistles and the tricks and the nature are so genuine and authentic. Why did it took me so long to discover this gem? Shame on you youtube algo!

[@Tunnelrat6666]

Love the boat. What a great place full of life. "Balls of steel" Alone spearing with so many whalers crazy stuff don't push your luck like that too many times. A big whaler took a swimmer down my local Tarthra Beach a few years back they only found small bits of her.

[@stevegarland9063]

Brilliant episode for sure… takes me back to when my grandparents were light house keepers there and I was fortunate enough to do boating as a kid and visit the last keepers before the light was automated. Thanks heaps….by the way, those mozzies are brutal….they come in from grouper rock, I think when the wind is Nor westerly…they are big brutes too! Cheers

[@angusweir8665]

You could inc7a folding down bed system where you placed your mattress and sleeping bag, possibly. Brilliant video thank you so much for the journey stay safe ❤

[@kraekennedy]

As far as visuals and beautiful colors, this was by far your best video yet Ollie! I loved it so much I watched it twice.❤👍👍👍

[@dionrupa2748]

Wow! Totally Epic! Just keeps getting better Ollie!. Educational & Inspiring as usual.

[@ralphslife5710]

I love your calm demeanour discussing the sharks and then the contrast stress as you get on the boat! Always holding out for your content drop!

[@cheekypukeko]

Legend Ollie. Absolute legend. What a video. What an experience. Thanks mate.

[@DavidPalfreyman]

Loved it, thanks for making and sharing your adventure with us. Stunning scenery epic spearfishing.

[@targettony1122]

New to the channel and 😲 omg what an epic journey. Thank you so much for sharing your dives and adventures. I'll probably never get to New Zealand so thank you for sharing.

[@reubenlankshear1114]

[@ocean_is_lyf5325]

One of, if not the best video so far!! Just amazing Ollie 🙌🏻

[@Violence0vAction]

Another sick mission - so much beauty & so many bronze whalers. Stay safe mate. Thanks for sharing.

[@ladz_brah]

Amazing content as per always Ollie!

[@pauldensem3643]

Man that was a cool trip. Don’t think I’d have the nerve to hang onto a thrashing kingie with all the sharks taking an interest! Nice job Ollie, keep it up.

[@leonnott9816]

Awesome video! Makes me want to chuck the suit on and get out there. Love it!

[@Ukeleo283]

Thanks for sharing those great experiences Ollie. also reminded me the same when traveling south in Milford, I recall I have to hide in the sleeping bag leavings only one tiny hole for breathing.

[@cadubiker]

[@danieltang2488]

We actually slice watermelon skin (white part) and make delicious salad in summer. So crunchy! Perfect for detoxing too

[@richardgraham9114]

Another cool vid! Thanks Ollie. Would love to see some complete dives including surfacing to give us an idea of depth and down time. Interesting interview on Noob Spearo podcast too! Keep them coming

[@Antipodean33]

Hands down my favourite spearfishing channel. Gutsy diving on your own, you'll have to come over here to South Australia and I'll show you some massive green lip abs

[@1313InkLife]

What a life. Much respect from Tennessee USA. Bucket list to spear New Zealand and the Great Barrier…..the Caribbean has to work for me one but one day I’ll make it over to Tattoo and fish. Good vibes from the 1313Ink Family

[@flowss7329]

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cheers brother. It's a Senator, 500 model to be exact

[@PigzHeadNz]

That's no good, putting yourself in danger Ollie. A good cardio workout. 👍

[@jonafritchie7811]

Did a fish just go vampire on your hand at the exact same time you shot here?? 16:45 Epic video brother! Would love to go fishing with you next time I’m in NZ! It’s always felt like home!

[@knightclan4]

great trip

[@TheSpearoHeroes]

Another ripper of a video! 🐟🐠🍣🔥🦈

[@Kiwigd]

Great vid mate.. I’m Auckland based.. but spend a bit of time on the Coromandel.. I’ve been kept out of the water for a few years now. Slowly recovering from a few medical issues.. looking forward to getting back into spearfishing this next summer..

[@johnholloway2118]

Cool sesh bro

[@pallasxo8222]

Got YOU King Fish !! Nicely Done, Ollie .. I clean (gut) my fish and put them in the cooler (Eskie) on ICE bottles, just like you have done. & (Ice in the gut cavity) . Most Excellent. Smashing open Sea urchins is a brilliant strategy to lure in big snapper. You have a top notch channel. one of the best. Boat, tricks, and intelligence. all A plus.

[@danielanzalone5163]

Love your channel all the way from Chicago, always exciting to see a new video posted! Hey, has any of your cooking equipment fallen overboard and you had to dive in and get it?

[@tylerdavidson3272]

Love your videos Ollie! Always gets me stoked to get in the water! Have you checked out thermacell? It would have kept those pesky mozzies away from you all night for sure! I live in Florida and know all to well how annoying those things can be! Whether you’re sitting in the blind hunting or on the boat near shore. Cheers! Keep the footage coming!

[@paullavender-pc1uz]

Such a beautiful boat, such a beautiful video. I appreciate the way you go out with that kind of courage and you just do it second nature. And you always bring home a big haul of fish… you keep at it you keep at it and you keep at it, that is so impressive. It’s a good lesson in life hard work pays off . Willingness to survive… Keep pushing forward bro . XLNT.

[@mia2113mark]

The boat tent looks awesome Oli. Some amazing footage in this video. Shame there were no crays.

[@shaunhill5795]

That was nuts!

[@coreytelford2865]

Yo bro. Yeah awesome bit ov footage there. Those sharks were pretty keen on some free kingfish. You looked bugged and happy to get back to the boat. New boat is algood. More room get that tent sorted at the back and good to go.
