The Black Sea is somewhere I never considered going spearfishing until I spoke to Valentin Lyutskanov at the world championships in Spain. He said he would love to take us out diving to find some corvina off the coast of Bulgaria. It was beyond anything I could have imagined and one of the best days diving I've ever had in my life.

After years of spearfishing in Croatia I understand how magical it must feel to see such a large school of Mediterranean fish, but I have to say it was hard for me seeing them being shot because of just how rare they are here. Great video and diving technique, but I am certain humans have to start restoring the nature. (Keep spearfishing it is the most ethical way to get fist)

Somehow I missed this video of yours. Very very interesting not only to see the black sea underwater but also how plentyful the fish can be there. Your videos are so relaxing, you manage it so well to catch and portrait the feeling of being silently underwater, everything is just slow and beautiful. Hope we will see some more soon.

Thank you! If you pause at 2:12 you can see it's not a death tuck as some people call it. Just the excess looped up under so if you pull the loose tag it it all comes undone. I do it also but I don't wrap it over the belt - that would be a disaster as you say.

Now that you experienced the difference between the black sea and the Mediterranean you should try the northern black sea near Ukraine, I have a friend from Odessa and a friend from Crimea and they shoot corvinas of over 3 kilos there, and also they catch Sargo (bream) using sea weed as a bait, i saw them catching them as big as 1-1.5 kilo. Its absolutely insane.

In Australia it's not needed for 99% of the spearfishing there to catch a feed. In Europe it's a way of being able to do things safer with less effort and therefore less fatigue. I know you won't agree but unless you've spent an extended amount of time fishing in the Mediterranean it might not make sense. Every technique has a time and place. The previous world champion I dived with said you should never variable weight dive to gain depth, only to make things easier once you have achieved that depth constant weight.

@@DanielMann You're absolutely correct Dan, I'm not falling for that shit. In the true spirit of breath hold freediving the weight belt only counteracts the buoyancy in the wetsuit. In my mind it's a dogs way of saying I'm not scuba diving. If you spend a lifetime truely earning your catch you respect the process and yourself. So in conclusion I'm against drop weighting and fkn shark shields. Thanks for a healthy debate

Fish in the Black Sea is so plentiful, that you need to know the exact hole to look into to find it.

I’ve been to many places that are fishy but knowing the exact spot or hole is a huge help. Sometimes 5m in the wrong spot means no fish!

Back in the ussr that fish was a prized target - you had to dive deep for it and sometimes it was very difficult to extract it from their holes. The biggest I saw was 5 kilos very shallow - I got so excited that I missed at point blank range. I never saw so many in a school. However outside of Corvina (Brown meagre) this place looks desolated. Did you see any mullet there?

I've heard there are much bigger Covina around the Ukraine coastline of the Black Sea. I saw mullets, snarpsnout sargos, wrasse and stingrays. They also get massive sea bass in winter, one of Valentin's friends shot one 12kg this year.

I would have guessed there would be plenty of seabass too, but corvinas seem to be the dominant species, not even a sargo or something...

They get massive bass in the winter. Valentin showed me a photo of his mate with one 11kg this winter just gone. I saw some small sharpsnout sargos and mullets also.

Why do you turn off the light immediately??
@DanielMann
@DanielMann Ай бұрын
Light has a retractable switch so when you let go it turns off. Also scares fish less.

amazing video, my all time fave is the legendary corvina (eskina in turkey). you've mentioned it's difficult to see large shoals in the med which is generally true but my experience in the aegean is slightly different. I would recommend you find a cove or bay downstream of large fish farm if you want to see shoals. but be prepared for bad visibility 🥸

I cannot stand how this guy fakes his ‘British’ accent. If you go back a couple years, he sounds like a true blue Aussie. There’s a pretty clear difference between an organically changing accent and someone putting it on. I know a bloke that puts on an English accent still to this day, they sound exactly the same. What’s the problem mate are you not proud to be Australian??
