Possibly my favourite Spearfishing trip in Australia & first Red Emperor

I'm going back to Australia in Autumn for a few weeks and that got me reminiscing about all the spearfishing I've done there. I remembered this trip I did to the southern Great Barrier Reef where we encountered a myriad of species such as Red Emperor, Red Throat Emperor, Maori Cod, Spanish Mackerel, Barramundi & Black Jewfish. Thanks to Tim McDonald for doing a bit of the filming this day because the batteries on everyones GoPro's were dead. Also for putting everyone onto incredible fish as usual!

I just binge watched a ton of your videos. Superb editing, music and content. I had no prior interest in Spear Fishing but you kept my interest and I learned a lot. Thanks for the great entertainment Dan!

[@briannel5653]

I love it how the red fishes' color pops as the diver ascends with it back to surface

[@ashrafahmedsaleh]

Don't have enough words to describe your videos.. Just a whole bunch of feelings.. Simply outstanding footage, skill, narration, clarity & information: A Gold Mine..

Thank you sir 🙏🏻

[@bernardosantana2817]

Lol...

[@inkycocoacocktail5509]

It sounds so terrible out of context

[@Inspirawesome]

Its currently -45 Celsius where I live, and watching this video really helps with the seasonal depression. It's too cold here to even go ice fishing! The quality of this trip was unreal, what a memorable experience!

[@ronin1330]

It's 1:50 am got to get up at 5 am, got up to piss heard the bell and It's Daniel, what a great video 👍👍 made me hungry listening to you talk about how good these fish are to eat Aaarrr..lol. Thanks man once again 👍👍, alright going to bed now.

Sleep tight mate 😂

[@kbonestom5392]

sick bro. im a. kiwi n watch as soon as ur vids come out. can u do a breath hold vid so we can see how u do it compared to us and other speros? big ups mate

[@ralphfreeman255]

You are VERY privileged! Took up spearfishing about two years ago with my son and can't wait to hit the water. I usually dive around Eastern Long Island, USA and there is not that much variety as you have. As a culinary arts instructor, I enjoy the food you prepare with your catch. Try a mayo/sriracha blend with the panko fried fish, very delicious! Thanks for providing such educational videos...

[@DanielMann]

Cheers Ralph!

[@jamestomlinson5869]

Hi I’m looking to start spearfishing this spring I was hoping to know about good diving spots on long Long Island that you suggest.

[@jenralphfreeman9554]

@@jamestomlinson5869 And give up my secrets, are you kidding? No, just messing with you. It depends on which part of the Island your talking about. I'm from the North Fork (currently live in DE) and I know that shoreline pretty well. Last summer I dove around Plum Island, Horton's Point.. South fork, Ponquoque Bridge, Hampton's (watch the current), and some others are good. I'm going to go out to Montalk this summer and give that a try. If you have a 4-5 mil suit, you can fish the Black Fish season and you'll fill your bag on the North Shore! On a safety note, I'd suggest you take a safety course and dive with a buddy. It is fun, but be safe as well...

[@jamestomlinson5869]

JenRalph Freeman I’m on the south shore and my dive partner will be my father who also happens to be in the cooking industry I am getting my equipment this spring I like to go to Smiths’s point and Shinnacock.

[@mattw5684]

What amazes me in your videos is how many different types of really big fish there are to spear in Australia, (or at least in the places you fish). Very impressive.

[@DanielMann]

The species diversity is quite extraordinary.

[@shelliesman7552]

Daniel! You Be Blessed! To be surrounded by such Beautiful Places with such Great opportunities to Spear Fish, is just so awesome!!!! Seeing this, reminds me of my Great Friend Craig, who was going to San Diego State University, in California USA, and how he had Speared a Large Grouper, and all of his Friends had to help him, each taking Turns getting drafted around by it, and Ima sure after an Hour or two, with no Signs of Tiring, they all had to give up on it! Wish I was there with you!

[@erwindavocol1405]

Your One of the most Awesome Spearfisher in the planet..Keep it Up❤❤💪.. love u man from Batanes Philippines💖

[@EthanYeo1]

Just rewatched this video, holy crap the footage you got was incredible! The way you put the whole video together from the commentary to the editing really shows how amazing this trip was 😍 How did you meet Tim? :)

[@rorywilson8376]

That is a serious depth....

[@DanielMann]

It wasn’t too deep, seen much deeper dives in the Mediterranean for much less fish!

[@djoserlealskyview]

I'm a fairly new scuba driver I have never done spear fishing but your videos are inspiring and now I have a huge interest on this activity

[@joshurrr]

Great video dan, I laughed so hard when josh missed that fish, I’ve screen shot one of your videos where you swam up to a huge school of dew fish and captioned it “ you’d still miss” and sent it to my brother, he always misses

[@rhysclay6368]

On the Tim McDonald episode of #noobspearo he mentions that exact moment I think? Barra and a black jew in the cave and Josh misses both or something like that. Or was that a different time?

[@joshurrr]

Are you asking me that question or Daniel?

[@DanielMann]

That was it Rhys 😂

[@fz1000red]

I'm two months behind everyone else here @Daniel Mann but wanted to say I very much enjoy your work to share your life's experiences with us on KZbin. I have no clue how much editing goes into your cooking videos, but they too, are top notch. Perhaps you can produce something that describes how you got into your hobby and developed to the point of being a competitor and world traveler? Regular folks like myself did stupid things like joining the Marine Corps so we could travel..🙃 You do excellent videography and editing I must add! If I was just, oh I don't know..thirty years younger? I'd love to learn how to freedive and spearfish. For now these videos are serving to curb my foolish desires quite well. 👌👍

[@TheApnean]

Loved those Black Jew in Darwin Harbour when I lived there. So thick on the harbour wrecks some times it was hard to see the wreck structure. And you are right about them not being so timid. Have actually had to push them aside to make my way once or twice. Great vid as usual Dan. Mitch.

[@DanielMann]

This isn’t Mitch who used to make floats is it???

Hey Daniel, have you ever thought of makibg a trip here to Saint Petersburg, Florida and compets in the St Pete Open? World's largest spearfishing tourney, top-notch tourist destination, come on!!!!! Lol Hey mate, I live here and Saint Petersburg, Florida really is an awesome City and the St Pete open it is an amazing and absolutely enormous tournament! It is a spectacle to see. Being the world's largest spearfishing tournament it is something to behold.

Any luck today Andrew?

Got our 2 crays each and a few dinner plate sized abalone. The fish in qld always make me think we miss our down here at the ass end of Australia, but maybe its not that bad. Cheers

[@tomtiernan8134]

I don’t think I’ve ever dropped an anchor in water that deep never mind free dived to the bottom. 😀. You guys are such excellent shots. Always near the head. No tail shots. Impressive. The only spear fishing I ever did was in Belize and Florida using a Hawaiian sling.

Those Mulloways are just amazing!Great vid Daniel!!!

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Dimos. These are a slightly different species to mulloway we get in the northern parts of Australia. Much higher dorsal fun and different shapes tail. Oddly enough the ear bones from the black Jew are much larger than the equal sized mulloway.

I used to do a some spearfish up of cape York in Queensland when I lived up the never speared a Jew but used to get a lot on handling fishing the biggest was 127cm

Black Jew on a hand line would go hard. They fight much harder than the southern mulloway I’ve found.

@@DanielMann Not as expensive as the UK!!! Great fishing. Why do you support Amazon? Bezos is a C***

Seriously though. Great vid and if you get a chance please check out my Solo Angler content. It will make you homesick.

[@DanielMann]

I use amazon because no one else can offer the service. I’ve never met him before so can’t form an accurate opinion of him. Having lived in both countries I’d say Australia is much more expensive for groceries, food & alcohol compared to the U.K. I spent $50 just to make a charcuterie board last time I was in Australia. Something that would cost me £10 here and be of better quality. Watched the snapper video, you are a natural on camera!
