When Spearfishing goes WRONG!

Anyone who has been diving for a while can tell you, spearfishing doesn't always go to plan. I've witnessed more than my fair share of these moments and in this video I'm going to show you a few of the more hilarious incidents. Throughout these fails I try and explain what can be done to prevent this situations happening to you. Some of them have no explanation - just bad luck!

one of 100's, another beach dive off Worth Ave. on the sand bottom between 1st and 2nd 6 of us heading out to the 3rd reef I'm last when I spot eyes looking up. I forgot my pole spear so i grab my leg knife quickly stick the bottom. A huge flounder starts fighting to get away gripping both ends of the knife keeping it on. I catch up to the group to help bag it for dinner. what a rush. LOL

Brilliant video Daniel! Thanks for taking the time to compile the footage. It's reassuring to know that even the most experienced spearos like yourself occasionally get it wrong. Last year a big kingfish swam right up to me. I took an easy shot and totally missed. It was like the movie matrix in slow motion. Looking forward to your next vid👍

Good things is that we learn from our mistakes and since then i use a two barbed shaft which next has to be directed to a vital shot ! Keep up the good work bro !
