[@Chehoo1]

Great video, very well cut and narrated, I'm on hibiscus coast had no idea how sharky Tiri was, keep up the good work👍 loved the Mokes footage

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Cheers! Yep she's sharky in summer but a good dive

[@Nogard2oo7]

That is some crazy shit I've just witnessed! Just when I watched you swim with these sharks I got chills down my spine and risen heart beat.. You guys have nerves of steel..Spearfishing is definitely an art reserved for chosen and brave people. Last trip I got a 23 kg kingy but yours was defo a bigger catch. Great video.

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Peter Melon 23kg is good!

[@Kewonerdk]

I was born in the wrong country, never speer fished but did some diving, and i'm exited when i see a 7 kg trout. This is just amazing!

[@MrGawin]

[@joshstannard1400]

I love bronzies, they’re like the puppy dogs of the shark world, just a pain when they take your fish

[@pejepeineFuerteventura]

[@timsterrett2417]

[@FranckJULIENspearfishing]

Damn' sick ! keep the good work guys !!

[@ninojabbes3044]

good size snappers, good for you guys, would love to join one day

[@BenAdamNZ]

SICK video man.

[@Hartz93]

Great video, guys

[@pacificaifyouplease8560]

Mate did you replace the Riffe? I have a Riffe. Interested to hear about why, what to and how you found it. Cheers

[@RawFoodFuture]

Have you ever had problems with that riffe euro? picked one up at the xmas sale and the thing would not shoot straight. Love the look of them... had to stick to my Rail gun tho. Great video by the way. well put together

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Hi I used 2x 14mm rubbers cause the two 16s were too powerful and shoot thru snapper into rocks. With a shark fin spear it was really inaccurate but generally ok. Too bulky for NZ diving though, this was my queensland gun.

[@hamo4life804]

NZ is the place 4 fresh and tasty fish 4 sure...

[@codypopplewell4016]

Churr, another great video

[@ramilfilm7678]

Excellent video!

[@rawnzfilms2237]

great video mate

[@samwatkins9200]

NZ can’t be beat!

[@timbranthwaite3031]

Epic footage! what do you think of diving out of that rib cause im looking at getting one. rate it or hate it? Cheers

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

It's good for local dives and doesn't use much fuel.

[@nmp3401]

Great Vids! I will be in NZ for Christmas Break... North and South Island. Interested in a Spearfishing Charter. Do you do Charters? If not, Do you know anyone who does?

[@frbraschi]

For how long can you hold your breath in situations like these?

[@frontpagedigital6128]

you got some pretty big stones bro! lol

[@Lnugget]

Any tips for approaching snapper? I've seen them a bunch of times, but whenever I see them they see me and bolt. Seem way spookier than any other fish I've hunted!!

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

basically don't let them see you

[@SM-rg9pr]

Do you usually use 1 gun for both kingy/snap? Ive been using a old 100 and doing fine on snaps and a few avg kingys, but im going to buy a new Hatch hawaiin wooden gun. Im stuck between choosing a 110 and a 120. Gun is pretty costly so id like a few opinions from decent spearfishers.

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Mike Smith Yea only one gun because the fish live in the same location on the reef so can't swap out. 120 does the job for me but seems a little bulky. I want a 110 tube gun for everything in NZ.

[@evebellerby721]

nice one bro! i can see your making an effort when there are a lot of others that aren't! we'll be happy on a close up with the camera too, chur

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Chur

[@dawnsix]

You in Auckland? do you do trainings or anything like that? looking to get into spearfishing, just dont wanna do it alone

[@landergrae]

Nice video man. I've started making my own videos too and was wondering what sort of program you use to edit the underwater footage?

[@spearo16]

Graeme Lander Go look at one of the first videos he uploaded, has a tutorial on how to touch up underwater footage in adobe after effects and mentions some of his other editing stuff. I dont remember but im pretty sure he mentions using final cut or adobe premiere not sure which though.

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Graeme Lander Hey mate premiere!

[@totilsom]

Awesome fish, soo... how can one join you guys for dive?

[@BigBrownCock149]

totilsom Drop down and give me 50 then your in 😁

[@ninojabbes3044]

[@GL-ys8je]

Damn this makes me so hungry

[@nzhuntingman]

Nice video..

[@IsraelTangaroaBirch]

Hey Luke with that shot on the kingie with the free divers gun, where is the best place to shoot it? Head? thanks

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Behind the gill plate is good, bit softer

[@Jacob-mr8hk]

Mate this is bloody class, best spearfishjng video I've seen, cheers, very entertaining stuff and what editor do you use

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

J.C FOOTBALL cheers mate, premiere.

[@Jacob-mr8hk]

Aquatic Rehab TV awesome cheers for replying!

[@alson9384]

[@upunderhunting3872]

What depth were most of these snaps in?

[@PhilippeVirgili]

[@mazblack9289]

[@niclewis9731]

Such a shame so many big snapper being killed , love the dudes who let them go

[@sam4002]

*eaten

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

I should kill all the 30cm ones on a line so they don't get the chance to get this big

[@alperinoyunmekan4495]

Ben onu o kadar yakından göreceğim, kalp krizinden ölürüm.

[@pet12oes6]

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

Nice

[@intrepid5592]

Wohooooo!

[@1pasupaty]

spear fishing ill do call you when there in the hauriki gulf

[@PhantomMantis1]

Isnt leigh a marine reserve?how can you spearfish there?

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

There is a marine reserve between Cape Rodney and Parkiri north of Leigh. Leigh has a ton of spearable ground.

[@peterreeve2779]

Hey guys, these big breeders are what we put back. Apart from that not as nice as a 2-3kg snapper

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Peter Reeve No they taste the same I've probably eaten small snap on the same plate as big snap over a dozen times, I guess around 80% of the fish I shot in summer were male, and I am not handling and releasing loads of small fish causing oil gland infections etc. I try eat 1 or 2 big snapper a week. Takes me about a month to get my boat limit of snapper on spear.

[@petermcelwain2598]

what type of shark is a bronzy?

[@soulsitter5805]

Bronze Whaler

[@evebellerby721]

hey bro, what i meant to say was i really enjoyed your videos. I just thought you could promote more sustainable spearfishing, cheers Benny

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Cheers yeah pulling trigger more so for video, I take two max no matter what. Can't eat more. Good call cheers

[@INViCTAAPOLLO]

Mate, I'm a keen spearo but don't have anyone to join me. I live in Auckland and keen to join a group if there's anything like that around??

[@brendanwaters2738]

I know its a while since this comment but im a diver from youtube channel Subaquatic Spearfishing, and local in auckland, would love to join you on a dive if you still go out. let me know 0211871040

[@brantonbrown9697]

Hey mate why don't you use gloves when diving

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Have no need to unless it's winter or I'm getting crayfish

[@Andrew..509]

hey guy you killing for eat or for fun? not eat or why's you like killing a nice fish?

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

Pat Warm eat

[@lukepaul2882]

Why do u only shoot trophys and not just hunt a feed? 20lb snapper are going to be uncommon with people like you.

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

I only shot two fish over 20lb this season. Shot about a dozen good fish to keep me, my mrs and daughter fed in summer. Meanwhile line fishos go out and catch their boat limit. About 80% of the snapper I shot had no roe (males, not breeders). Better than buying it and supporting mass rape and fish dumping.
