It's smart to show the names of the fish

As an older gentleman once told me, "If you kill it, you better eat it." Much respect man, I'm excited to start doing this myself.

Nice Video. I started spearfishing about 3 years ago, i first got the idea after watching one of these videos (not yours specifically but similar high quality) I thought it looked like the most incredible thing to do. this summer i completed my first 45 Meter dive at just 15 years old. I have nothing but thanks, and respect for videos like these. They help get more people interested in the sport. Thank you.

I've watched this video a countless number of times so amazing I would love to see more and I can tell how much you love the fish even though you're soearfishing while admiring the fish you can and can't kill and how much you know about them!

I speared a halibut about 30 years ago in Carlsbad while freediving. It was in the lagoon area where the old nuclear plant used to be and the water was always warmer than the surrounding water because they would use that lagoon to flush the nuclear reactor with to keep the temp down. This in turn warmed the quite a few degrees more and the marine life would just swarm to this area. The halibut I speared was about the same size as this one, but I didn't have a camera to take a picture of it, unfortunately. We didn't have cell phones with cameras on them at that point in time, but I wish I would of at least had one of those disposable one-time-use cameras they used to sell in that time period. I missed out big time because I only have a tale to tell without proof. I sure did have a great day and I will always remember that until I exhale my last breath in this physical realm. God bless

Those fish are not free, the time, gear, and experience to find and get them is priceless, people who spend their lives near the water have never even stuck their heads underneath have no idea what they are missing. When people know you can get fresh fish and lobster like that, they all become very nice to you all of sudden. You can either pay for the near rotten fish at the market or get it on your grill or pan before the sunset. By the way, that is a nice hole, not too many of those fish were spooked or darted off as soon as you came in range. As long as you know bottom structure, known reefs with sand and thick kelp, there will be fish. I do miss being able to park and kick out a few hundred yards to get on a spot, life, work, location, and family makes these trips very rare. Keep up the videos, very entertaining and memorable.

Thank you for naming them, super helpful for new spearos

Love this vid!!!! And the music!!

EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO THIS SONG IT REMINDS ME OF FAST AND FURIOUS

Great video, nice shots, awesome song!

Wow. Great video and great fish! I hope i can swim in the water like that!

Great video. I'm not into spearfishing myself, but I do however like to watch you guys kickass when doing it. I do the rod & reel style. KZfaq is so fun to post videos. Thanks for sharing!

I can already taste it in my mouth... )) Nice catch... jealous... ;)

Nice Fish!! Perfect sz. halibut. friend of mind landed a 85lb last year in Port Townsend, Wa. but it had some worms so he ending up with about 30-40lbs. of fish.

Awesome video man! Would love to spear a halibut one day!

Crazy to turn around and see a 16' sevengill an arm reach away! They get big Kodiak,,,nice flatti bro

Awesooome added to Favorites of course excellent choice of music 👌👌👌 what's the name of the speargun by the way? Kinda like it

great vid man

Cooooooooool!!!!! Interesting!!

Man the music really suits ur video. I wish I could swim so I can go spear fishing with my uncle but when I was 6 I was trying to learn how swim but I nearly drawn since then I was scared to get into deep waters :(

Dude this video is sick!!! Spearfishing is hella badass- ever do it in the sf bay by TI?

badass! :)

Bro that hali at the end there was a beast

Amazing bro

Newbrunswick Canada has probably the best halibut

What part of the California Coast? I'm in Laguna Beach. Looks like similar environment.

The seven gill with a tag is extra points!

nice i would love to do that, looks really fun

great vid 👍

That shark was amazing

Nice halibut!

Thanks for posting.

MAte this is good graphics and content nice

Great video! I definitely enjoyed watching, Have you had any close calls with whites?

haha I like the "door mat" for the CA halibut instead of the "barn door" pacific

great video! very well put together. looks like you have it dialed in. I work underwater and have never spear fished, how you are doing it looks like a blast, as long as a whitey doesn't want your stringer.

It's crazy how different calico grow...I nabbed one 22" 7.2 lbs......

I get it, but I don't shoot them, not in California. I fished rod and reel for 50 years, I recently began taking spearfishing on as another pursuit. The biggest difference between sportfishing and spearfishing (besides being in another environment) is the ability to select your catch. Calicos are very good eating, I used to keep them along with everyone else, until I found out more about their reproduction traits. I'm not trying to be a dick, just passing along a little bit of information, please don't take it as a personal attack. Lol

I spearfish in San Diego in 1993. A 39 pound halibut 29 corbina and an 11lb spider crab

nice shots

Great video! Keep it up! Is the vis always that good there?

nice shootin bro!!!

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MORE

Great video! :) Love it when you put the name of the fish too :D Just wanna know what camera did you use?

Great video! What kind of mount do you use for your GoPro?

I noticed you have a magenta filter on your camera...they actually worked pretty good. :)

Nice vid man. How long can you hold your breath?

Wow! you've got lots of fish to eat there.

if you don't mind me asking what depths are you seeing most of the larger species at? It seems few and far between to see that many larger fish where I am going. Might be my spot also...

Nice vid man . Just started spearfishing myself are there any methods to holding my breath like you do?

great vid man...have you ever ran into a great white before while diving ?

how do you get out to the kelp beds? do you have a kayak that you tie off on the kelp or just swim out to the kelp?

Captures in the kelp!

Are you using a gopro? And if you are where exactly are you putting it whole filming . thank you

Yeah, I always think about gangsta music while spearfishing

Thats huge

awesome video, what camera equipment are you using?

good huntin!

This is the man we were afraid of in Finding Nemo

Nice shots man really cool vid...what part of cali?

Hi Kodiak, great video! I know we spearos are very reserved with our fishing spots, but I'm moving to Santa Barbara in one month and I'd just like to know if I'd be able to see some big fish there... I don't mind going deep; are there some deep reefs with caves that I can check out? KZfaq videos of Santa Barbara show only very small fish in the shallows, but maybe is just because of the spearos skills... well let me know if we can talk a little. Cheers

Great video! Do you us a filter for your camera?

Great vid bro! Sub and hope for more ;)

What is the bag limit per species? Very nice camera work!

muito massa. bela pesca :)
