I am in the Army and was stationed in Hawaii I was battling a brutal divorce and self medicating with Alcohol every night to get by. One day my friends came over, helped me clean up my pig-sty of depression and made me go spear fishing with them. I immediately fell in love with it. I stopped drinking and bought all my own gear. Ever weekend I was itching to get in the water. It was so therapeutic being under the water and not hearing all the noise of our working world, both literally and physically. I never harvested more than I wanted for lunch or dinner and always went for a healthy species of fish. I moved again but kept that mindset of getting out in nature and connecting with it. I have never been religious, but there really is something spiritually connecting about submitting yourself to nature.

His intentions were to steal. Yet you gave him one of your fish, he’s going to remember that. Respect.

Thank you for sharing this video. It reminds me of me and my brother growing up on the island of Guam in the early 70s and early 80s. This true islander living.

Welcome to one hobby fishing from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🤝🎣🎣🎣

I'm used to calling them flounder, and they are usually the most sought after eating fish in the bays and beaches. They are really delicious stuffed with crab and other good stuff.

Great for bringing the Ladys for a cook over !!!

11:09 “I need a seat” **Garbs a tiny stick to sit on** 😂😂

Feeding the sharks and giving the locals fresh fish even though he was going to 'borrow' your shoes is definitely making peace with the karma gods ;)

ahh yes flounder. it has become my favorite fish. I've had most fresh and saltwater fish and my favorite so far has been flounder and sea trout. white buttery fish absolutely delicious. the ones we catch here are summer flounder i believe. tan and green spots. they are actually hard to filet but you get 4 filets per fish. where they are sideways you go down the middle of their top and bottom and cut in underneath the filet. i catch live shrimp and small mullet as bait but have also caught them on white artificial shrimp too. they actually grab their meal and sit and eat it slowly back on the bottom for about 60 seconds, then you set the hook. they call them door mats around here.

Dude you have loads of good karma. You are a good person. Gifting a prospective thief a free fish is a beautiful thing. That man will remember you and you likely taught him a valuable lesson...and I like to think you made him a better person that day.

Well done. One of your previous followers hit the nail on the head. Rictus, 4 fillets from that one fish. A sharp blade… forget about the bones. 8/10 on my rating.

I thought you made content in your country, it turns out that you made this video in Indonesia.. I know because you gave fish to fishermen using Indonesian.. I really like your content.. Enjoy the beauty of nature in Indonesia 🥳 warm greetings from Jakarta

That guy tryna steal your shoes but you still gave him that fish, what a legend you are!

The flounder we catch in Florida are delicious! Was super excited when you hand speared this one but got a little nervous when you said you were giving a fish away to the local! Glad you ended up cooking this and liking it. I had a feeling you were going to say it was your favorite fish. They must be super rare over where you’re at

Terima kasih bro Sudah berbagi dengan nelayan indonesia Semoga sukses dan sehat selalu

Did u gave him a fish and said ‘thankyou’😂 I can tell u are a good hearted person♥️

Love living your adventures with you. How cool, it’s a dream. From Dallas, TEXAS!

what a great episode homie! exciting! you cant be too careful. those legit sea pirates are no joke. this guy wasnt a bad guy really. it was humbling to see you wave him over and give him fish before you knew he was gonna rip your shoes bruh! you are good peeps. the gods favor you. cheers from Philadelphia!

When I lived in Seattle WA, we went fishing & caught whole lot of flounders. Delish!

I always choose flounder at the seafood restaurant !

Super cool video Cavy! Legend for always sharing your adventures! BIG BIG MAHALOS 🤙💪👊👍🎣🎣🎣🎣

You really inspired a lot of people. The catch and the videos were epic! Bless and love Cavy Cavdog!

bela pontaria.....pescaria top ... lugar maravilhoso, Deus abençoe,

Flounder is extremely tasty tho they are very difficult to catch especially due to their camouflage. Another cool fact about flounders is that unlike most fish they have both their eyes on one side of their body so they can lay flat in the sand and ambush prey.

Similar to what we call flounder in Florida. Very tasty, one of my favorites especially when you stuff them with crab meat and shrimp. And glad you didn't get your shoes stolen!🤣🤙

I've had that fish many many times. It is super tasty, super delicious. One of my favorites.

Florida has Flounder that is identical ! Good Job! Cavy!

Best fish I ever had was fresh hake in Sweden. I bought it at the covered market in Uppsala. I took it home and pan fried it and it was stunning. It melted like butter in my mouth.

Flunder is a clear 9/10. When you let a tuna steak out of judge, maybe even a 9.5 many bones, sometimes worms. very tasty lovely episode, love what you do, best stuff on yt atm

Peacock flounder(left-eyed) is what you speared, when I lived in Alaska we caught halibut, a right eye fish. in the ocean caught a 50 pounder once. it was real hard to clean and process, kind of chewy too.

Wow beautiful views and water so clear..i enjoying watching from western Australia

Great stuff bra, glad you didn’t lose any gear. I’m still laughing about the bow and arrow shark misses. I’m sure it’s so much harder than it looks. Easy for me to laugh sitting on my ass at home wishing I was there. Your videos are raw which makes them great. Even had time to rip a fart during the video lmao 🤣. Keep it up mate 🥥👍

Note sole, but when I lived in New Zealand, I would go flounder spearing at night around the estuaries. Shine a light as close along the ground as possible and see their shadow as they sit on the bottom. Got to walk quiet with no splashing though. Beautiful tasting fish!!

Your catch karma just went up from sharing your fish like that, you gave him a lesson that some people go to the island's to experience life. Expert shot my man. Stay safe and full my friend! 🐠🐟

Hi im from Indonesia.. And thank you for being kind to Indonesian people. God bless you 😊

I love your videos Dude. I always dreamed of doing things of that nature. God bless you.

Bruh your so humble. I can't help but admire you. Self sustaining in paradise has to be amazing. I found a primitive camping site off of the beach I'm going to do a week of only catching my dinner. #inspirations

Looks like a flounder, sole or fluke, Cav. Some of the best eating there is. Lots of restaurants will have sole or flounder stuffed with crab meat here in the states. Beautiful video as always, glad you got your shoes back 😉...cheers, bro!

I'm from Indonesia, so happy to see this video and hear you speak Indonesian. Maybe the fisherman thought the shoes had no owner. lol regards

Beautiful fish bro and lovely reaction to the local dude attempting to steal the shoes, much respect! You got a peacock flounder (Bothus mancus). Never had it, but they are related to the European turbots (closer than to the European flounders), which are also beautiful eating and at least a 9.5 to me. Love the vids, keep it up 💪

Bro i just love your videos so much ….I love tropical lands and especially fishing ….I want to travel to Australia 🇦🇺 one day and then in Indonesia 🇮🇩 ….I’m enjoying every second of your videos thanks mate 🧉

Great video! i really enjoyed it the spearing. You did well by offering a fish to that guy. I consider you lucky having this opportunity to visit this beautiful places. If you were in NYC, London or Berlin and in the middle of nowhere, you would likely be robbed.

I love eating, we call them flounder in Mississippi. The skin is oily and delicious.

Another great video man!!!! Thank you..

Keep killing it bro! Great spear fishing 💯💯🐠🐡🍋🌶🧂🎣🏹

Yes, one of the best eating fish, it's supposed to have a skeleton of bones that are easy to remove , watching from Johannesburg SA , really feel like getting to Jeffrey's Bay on our coast after watching this

Never had flounder or sole but i have to say it's made it's way onto my bucket list after reading these comments. Never would have thought

Looks like a flounder. Nice place. Awesome to catch your own fish like that.

Love tuning into your vids. If I may request, please show more footage of the gutting and cleaning of each fish! Cheers!

It's in Indonesia 😍 Awesome content!!! The fish called "ikan sebelah" in Indonesian.

0:41 feels like you were in a game like stranded deep hahaha

Sole you say. Looked more like a small Halibut but if not guess it was still tasty. Got hungry watching, cheers.

The most thing i love on you bro is your voice ❤️

I can’t get over how big the fish are when you get out of the water it’s crazy cos they look so small on the camera, wow that round one was so different

It looks similar to a halibut. I’ll bet it taste almost the same, awesomely-tasty!! Luckily the guy you gave the fish to didn’t take all your stuff! To give him one of your fish after he tried to steal from you was incredibly honorable.

Absolutely Amazing underwater filming, and it's just beautiful. Be careful not every fish is editable, some can be poisonous 🙂❣️

I've had it when i lived in Netherlands only smaller, it tastes fantastic and easy to peel of the bone if you remove outer fins when cooked.

Flounders or sole is the best eating fish out there bro! I totally agree with you 👍🏻 White flaky meat is soooo good!

Wow! I can live on that paradise forever bro! Everything I want are all there. Peace, adventure and nature!

Here in Florida we call them flounder and yes they taste amazing. Awesome video

Always enjoy the content mate, youre awesome

dude tries to steal your shoes and you give him a fish 😂, he must have feeld so awfull 😂

Halibut here in the S.F. bay. Delicious!

That flounder looks pretty good! 👍

Called a flounder in Trinidad and Tobago . Normally kept by fishermen for personal use. Best eating fish.

I love how you handled that guy. You didn't let the fact that he tried to steal from you ruin your time. It's always good to stay positive! I am curious to know if you have ever come across someone violent?

Flounder/soul fish are just so easy and so good one of my favs 10/10

I love the Alaskan flounder especially when it’s dried, I usually have it with seal oil.

Bro epiiiic video the trench you swam through looked so peaceful ✌️.... how bad do you reckon that guy feels he was gonna steel your shoes than you give him a fish 🤣🤣 he would feel sooo bad.. also that tongue sole was massive 😳 👌 I love you new way of swimming back with the fish definitely better than having it hang off your man hood 😅 you should have kept the hermit crab and named it Eugene from sponge Bob 🤣 stay upright brother and fish hard yeeeeeeew 🤙🤙🤙 thanks for the escape from reality really needed it today💪💪

Flounder?. Ariel and Sebastian are gonna be PISSED!

brother, most fish fresh over a camp fire is mind blowing. but yeah they are super delicate. Even fresh mullet over the fire is insane, its surprising how the fire when camping will bolw ur mind. love it

Good job 👏👏👏👍

Mate that was brilliant. I use to eat sole/flounder with my grandfather and he swore it was his favourite fish to eat and he lived on an island most his life. There is definitely many different kinds and the 'sole' fish looks like a footprint where the flounder is more round with pronounced fins etc but both taste good.👍

Mate those underwater shots are amazing.

I'm so happy to see your content, here to see fresh fish straight in hot chili chili chili fries

I know it as Flounder and i think its the best eating fish, i love it. Cheers from Australia

great friends, the location is really good, good luck always greetings from Indonesian anglers

I ate them once, and i dip it with a dark soya, chili, onion and lime.

Great stuff 👌

Wow looks fantastic

He was going to rob you and you being a good person gave him a fish. That’s real man stuff right there guys 💯💪 Love going on these adventures with you from my home. Recently discovered your other channel and then found this one and subbed to both immediately. You are living the life brother. Wish you nothing but the best. Do you plan on ever coming to the states? I’d love to be able to meet you one day.

Another amazing video! Pure quality content right there! Keep it goin' mate 🔥

We have it here in Hawaii but they say it mite be not good two eat. I have seen it but never ever have a eat it. But it looks so amazing. The water 💧 there is so clear 👌 🙌 so beautiful 😍 I so wish 🤞 I could do that. One word. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

hi, im from indonesia.. im always watch your videos... its good

Well it was about the best, and "Dover sole" is eaten on both sides of the Atlantic. I have never heard of a tropical flounder or sole. You learn something new every day. But in size that was more of a tropical halibut.

Wonderfull Indonesiaa 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

Hello from Cape Cod, local gray soul is amazing. Great job brother !

The flounder belly cut is considered one of the finest cuts of sashimi a chef can serve. It is hidden from display at fine sushi restaurants reserved for family, VIP's, or very close friends.

Cavy, u have amazing videos. Is it legal to stay on those islands? Such an incredible life u have! Stay safe

Indonesia is wonderland... 🇮🇩❤

keep it up mate, love your content 💪

In Northern CA we’ve got Halibut same kind of fish it’s amazing white fish just like you stated! My favorite fish besides Salmon!

I'm Indonesian and i didn't know there's such a good place like that. Is that in bali?

ever since you started adding in commentary, it has made your videos even more enjoyable. keep up the great work bruh

Bro, the under water scene ... fkg Epic!

Saya dari Indonesia walaupun saya nggak ngerti bahasa Inggris tapi Chanel nya seru mantap pokok nya saya selalu nonton Chanel nya Salam dari indonesia

My wife loves sole fish. Too many bones for my liking but if you are patient enough to eat slow and pick them out it's tasty as. 🤘

Beautiful videos enjoyable to watch

Laut indonesia keren

Tried flounder myself a few weeks back for the first time its unreal eating. You ever consider doing a shark catch and cook?
