As an Aussie spearo, I don’t like the way that you spear a fish that swims up to you like I seen in previous videos. I’m sure that that particular fish has encountered divers that feed or respect them but you put a spear at point blank into its head. That’s not fishing etiquette. As a diver you should respect the fact of selective fishing and hunting but you’re a wanker that shoots anything regardless. You remind me of a poacher in South Africa.

[@hawaiiangunner]

WOW!!! What a absolutely AWESOME VID!!!

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cheers! Stoked you enjoyed it. Got plenty more vids to look through on my Channel if you haven't already!

[@edstraker8451]

Hi Ollie, it's been a while since I acknowledged my appreciation of your quality videos and aquatic adventures. I haven't been in the water since July, but that's changing soon. Thank you so much for entertaining me in the interim. Take care as always. Trev 🙋‍♂️

Cheers Ben! Yeah mate special spot. Would love to go back late summer

[@benransley123]

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Good to see fish in such massive numbers! Been hard fishing out from Omaha - Great Barrier etc. struggling on the size... warm water maybe? Had a nice cray dive on Sunday though so can't complain!

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

@@benransley123 yeah not sure mate, I have heard a few places have been very hit or miss so far this summer.. good to hear you got some crays though!

[@chaseandgather]

Great session on the moana - those work ups were absolutely off the charts. Good to see those numbers around. Nice vid mate 👌🏽

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cheers Michael! Bloody awesome to see alright!! Next time I’ll not worry about the kingies and go for more trevs, they were amazing smoked up

[@chaseandgather]

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit the trevally in the smoke box is hard to beat aye bro. The extra oil content in the Trev flesh fused with the smoke materials is top quality. Nice to get some mass in the freezer as well with the kings too mind you

[@adambrakey6351]

Amazing my bro!!

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

[@ryanheesch4818]

[@jcornwy]

Do you cook you kingie frames on the bbq?

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

[@finnthornton5157]

where did the ruku blades go?

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Lost one over the side of boat a few videos back you will see. Just moved to carbons, a lot nicer to dive with

[@philippeszyncel900]

Hey mate, first off thanks for the top quality videos. Loving the footage especially around my neighborhood. Was wondering, I noticed you have been mostly posting footage with at least a buddy recently. Has something occurred that changed your mind to spearing alone? Cheers

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cheers Philippe, I've just been hitting some places which are quite far off shore and not really assessable for my little inflatable. Also sometimes it takes a while to finally get the right buddy to dive with who is on the same page as you. Some days you go out with people and never want to dive with them again for multiple reasons. I still do love diving solo, perhaps its just summer..

[@joseguilherme9048]

Nice bro

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cheers Jose
