I agree, but do question how many halibut they actually needed for themselves? Had they fished stand up rod & reel style, they could of released a few & only kept the largest.

Thanks for your comment. That free swimming one was truly a monster. The gopro really doesn't do it justice. It's hard to get a sense of scale but I have a feeling it was close to 100kg...

​@@JoePkSpearfishingDo you agree with the comment above? Killing Big breeders is just for show

On the other side of the debate is keeping one bigger fish so you don’t have to take more than one.

Not many divers and fishermen think about protecting the big breeders and taking the smaller fish. Worst of all, take only what you are going to eat. The endlessly providing ocean we once thought it was, no longer exists. It is time to start spreading the idea about the preservation of the big fish, and taking only medium to small ones, which of course are the best eating.

Thanks again Mr Mann. If it wasn't for your coaching though in round 1 I'd have probably just caught a cold.

Perhaps a trip to alaska? Think you've got some pretty amazing halibut to be had there.

Thanks! You're so right. There is so much that can potentially go wrong on a trip like this but everything seemed perfect 🙏

It was unreal! Thanks 😀

Yes it was incredible. I couldn't work out what it was at first!

I did all summer runs for 5 years scouring different kinds of location until I got my first one. It’s about finding the right place. I was confined to doing it from the shore, so it was a bit of research but actually really worth in terms of looking for the right circumstances. Once you find that good spot for the right time of the year - there is a lot more of a guarantee. In my experience it’s been best last half of august, when the water clears a bit from dying seagrass and algae and on into september or november. But I’ve heard old fishermen say differently also, this is off the shore, it may be different further out but they seem to come into the shallows to rest in warmer water after feeding or soak up some vitamin D. I’ve killed 20+kg halibut in just 2-3 metres of sea water. In the old days people would spear them with a long weighted spear from a boat spotting them by looking into the water with a makeshift telescope. Anyway - part of the trick seems to be that you want a patch of good sandy, rocky, gravelly seabed with at least periodically strong current going through and it can be sorta shallow in the 1-20 metre range, and then if there is some nearby deep water that drops to like a couple hundred metres or more that’s a good combination. They can hunt, lounge, rest, move according to temperature and water quality, they can escape seals etc. The good thing about doing it from the shore is that not a lot of boat fishermen usually hang out there. A few locals may, but the tourists tend to overlook it.

Cheers to you!

haha thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much Malcolm!

Yeah it would have been angry if I'd speared him for sure.

It really was incredible! Thanks so much for your comment.

Cheers Mr Dunn!

It was hard to do when we were out there for halibut, but glad I did now. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

Thanks! I definitely have been spoiled this year, but eating all the better for it!

Thanks so much and great to hear from you Mr Sinclair. I hope there will be more spearfishing stories next year 😊

I’ve had a very busy year and not got in with the camera much, plan to do a lot more recording next year, keep your videos like this coming

@@sinclairsspearfishingstori9310 This is fantastic news, look forward to seeing them

Thanks Matt, I just hate the idea of wasting fish.

You showed remarkable restraint, especially given that it was a split-second decision.

Thanks Mr Grigg!
