I live in the Virgin Islands 🇻🇮 and grew up eating fish till this day and I managed to get most of the species wrong. Some of them I would know close up when they are caught but never seen them from under the water. I tried spearfishing once and was very nervous about it. My fear of sharks was the main reason and I didn’t like the feeling of being unable to sense something behind me underwater. Because of that, I live my spearfishing dreams thru the videos you provide for us here. Thank you,sir 👏🏽

Number 24 must underrated fish on my opinion they are good eating fish. I'm in Tampa bay area so spadefish is common here. Was doing some hurricane preparation here cleaning the backyard and was waiting for 6pm to take a break watch your video and eat something 😂. Maybe share the weather you going on there. Still a little early to tell where the hurricane will go but I'm sure you have people following all over the Gulf Mexico.

This video was so interesting. I absolutely love the content & time that you spend making these videos and it shows in the quality of it. I look forward to Cooking with Clams-Will, and your videos each week. I’m not a spearfisherman but would love to do it someday. Surprisingly, I did very well on this, getting a 21 out of 30 due to fishing my whole life, watching fishing videos, and I have the fish rules app & study it continuously. Anyway, don’t change a thing and I keep hoping Madeline starts a KZfaq channel someday. Thanks again, Tony from Clewiston Fl.

I missed #9, #10, #12 (all groupers). I knew they were groupers but couldn't tell which one. I've always had a hard time identifying groupers. I need to learn the shapes of the fins, tails, patterns, etc. That's why I carry a waterproof fish species rules/regs book with me. As always, If you don't know for sure, don't shoot or keep it!

After years spearfishing is easy to identify these fish, even when I don't know all the names in English, are pretty much the same species I used to catch in Cuba Just missed the Yellow Grouper 29/30. Great educational video taking in consideration that fish underwater don't look like on pictures. The biggest problem I have here is to calculate size because we used to measure fish by weight and here is by size and in inches; a whole new measure to me.

That was a lot of fun. I used to shoot a lot in the early '70's to early '90's, so I'm way out of practice now and way too old to go back, still got 20 out of 30. Mostly mixed up grouper species and swapped Cero for King Mackerel.

@pedrogonzalez66611 ай бұрын
I love your videos, and I think this one may be my favorite. There are so many saltwater fish in Florida that its hard to know all of them. I found that as I dabbled in spearfishing that the fish can look very different underwater than they do when you are examining them in your hands on the surface. This video highlighted those differences. I missed just a few of the species and my 8yo, fishing fanatic daughter, got 22/30

I thought I'd bang them all out, but it's hard to see exactly what they are underwater. So I got the Dog, the Cabrera (confusing them both as a trick question gray/mang) and the Yellowfin grouper wrong. I've never caught any of those 3 species, so was unsure. I also said the Porgy was a Grunt until I re-looked at the shape of the head (almost the shape of a sheephead). Also, the Cero could be confusing with a Spanish underwater because I think the yellow dots play a big part distinguishing the 2 apart, aside from the pinstripe (maybe you got that wrong too. Lol) , but nuntheless, I called it a Spanish.. So 5 wrong out of 30 for me. One thing to note on the this underwater vid, from a distance, was the AP's from a distance looked like a school of baitfish, until the came up close! Pretty impressive camo!
