Spearfishing a Huge Sailfish WITH A REEL GUN
We sent it out wide off of South East Queensland Australia. Diving in deep water when the fish of a life time swam up to me. We originally thought it was a marlin but later found out it was a sail fish. Beyond stoked with this fish. This fish was not wasted, it fed many of my friends and family.

Spearfishing Deep Ledges Holding GREAT Fish

The mission was to fill the freezer with some quality fish. Mission accomplished!! I'll be out of the water for about two months while my partner and I welcome our second child into the world. So if you think I'm a bit trigger happy that's why😅 It was really rough heading out which was great! There was only one other boat out there. Had the place to ourselves. We shot spanish mackerel, tuskfish...

Super fishy on one of our hot spots out off Brisbane Queensland. Spearfishing off Moreton Island can be very challenging but it pays to explore and find the fishy spots. We shot mangrove jacks, spanish mackerel and black spot tuskfish to name a few. spear gun: Vendetta Rollergun Aimrite wetsuit: Polosub boat :Haines Hunter v17r

We sent it out wide to get away from the poor inshore visibility. We had to battle through a bit of swell and heavy rain but it was so worth it. We picked up some great fish including a blue spot trout, mangrove jacks, wahoo, rusty jobfish and green jobfish to name a few. spear gun: Vendetta Rollergun Aimrite wetsuit: Polosub boat :Haines Hunter v16r

Blackout after fin SNAPS 20 meters deep! Spearfishing Misadventures
Просмотров 12 тыс.9 месяцев назад
A nightmare situation arose while spearfishing off south-east Queensland. My friend's fin snaps while he is on the bottom in 20 metres of water. We have a good dive buddy system, which allowed my other mate to save his life. The purpose of this video is to stress the importance of diving with a buddy. Spearfishing is a dangerous sport, but having a buddy watching your back mitigates a lot of th...

Too Risky? Spearfishing with Big Bull Sharks

During the summer months diving off Brisbane, there are a lot of sharks to deal with. Perhaps in this situation it would of been smarter to find another spot despite all the good fish that were in this particular spot.

Top work!!!
Thanks Mark, glad you enjoyed it mate😁
good shit man! hope to see you guys out there one day!
Appreciate it mate. Glad you liked it😁
Nice one❤
Thank you 😁
True. Mu's are very irritating but love the challenge.
So fun to hunt. The challengeing species are my favourite
Howzabout that cod that swam past!
Massive Queensland grouper hey. Intimidating fish
I saw one off the coast while fishing we were in a 28 ft black fin when it circled the boat i feel to my knees i couldnt believe how big it was and he lifted its head out out the water just enough to look at us at that moment i realize how small we really are i cant imagine being in the water with a creature with that much power the captain said it was 16 ft i couldn't tell i was star struck i will never forget it.....
It's a humbling experience being in the presence of an apex predator. Well, terrifying in the moment and humbling after the fact. I'm guessing this shark was around the 4 m mark. Where were you at the time?
@DownDeep we were around 30 miles off the coast on New jersey tuna fishing. we were in 600 feet of water, this was a while ago, and I always think about where it is right now. I hope it's still swimming somewhere. I think about it a lot it really affected me in a way I can't explain
I'd say it's still swimming around mate. Unless it swam into a pod of killer whales😅 Pretty crazy what they are doing to the whites in some parts of the world
Hey mate this is a great channel! I’m glad I found it. 🐟🤿🔥
Aww, thanks mate. Much appreciated. Welcome 😁
Nice sailfish man!!! 🔥🤿
Thanks mate, still stoked 😁
Great video and a belated congratulations! I am only in my second season and I am participating in our national online freshwater tournament. Lots of fun so far.
Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying the videos. I love the annual comp format. Best of luck in your fresh water tournament. Where are you based?
@@DownDeep I am in Oklahoma. It’s right in the middle of the US. It’s a tough state to spear with not a lot of clear water, but we get it done😁 Arkansas is next to us and you can spear game fish like stripers and walleye there.
Awesome mate, I have never spearfished in fresh water. Sounds pretty challenging. I bet no sharks makes it easier to relax though😅
@@DownDeep oh yeah. No sharks is great. Our biggest danger is getting ran over by a boat.
Great video! 🐟🤿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thankyou😁
I know that feeling.
I've been out at sea for the past month with no proper service but have been waiting to watch this video the moment I got back on land! It was certainly worth the wait and didn't disappoint, that was some incredible footage and fish of course, can't wait to shoot a billfish myself. Love watching your vids 🙂
Much appreciated Ethan😁 glad you enjoyed it mate. I thought this video would have performed better. Can never pick which video will do well 😅🤣Welcome back to land, hope it was productive.
Ps, I love your videos, too. Hope you captured some cool footage over the last month. Looking forward to your next one
@@DownDeep Hahaha yeah the youtube algorithm is a funny one! It took a fair few of my videos a year or so before the algorithm actually picked it up and started pushing it. How was the audience retention on this one, I can imagine it'd be pretty high given it's a shorter video?
@EthanYeo1 this one might still have a chance😅 it has 74% retention for the first 30 seconds and 57.5% retention overall. Pretty good numbers for my channel. Ctr is 6.6% which is a little lower than normal. I wonder if youtube is trying to push longer videos over the shorter ones
How I spent years spearing every day off the rocks south Sydney without seeing a single shark I’ll never know 😂😂 thousands of hours hauling bleeding fish on a float and not a single tax man
I envy you! My last shore dive resulted in a hasty retreat back to land while protecting our catch from multiple whaler sharks😅
Great advice to drop weight belt. Here in South Africa we unbuckle our belt when ascending from a deep dive holding onto the loose end. If you blackout you’ll let go and your belt will fall away. Can save your life.
I do this too! Not every dive though. Only if I feel a little off or I stayed on the bottom a little too long. Might be a good idea for a video. Little things like that that some people don't think about that can save your life. Thanks for the comment🙂
@@DownDeep Yes. Not every dive. We also have a clip on a short lanyard on our belt to attach to our float line and jettison our welt belt when an accelerated accent seems prudent. I suggested to Rob Allen last week that he should do a video suggesting some of these common sense safety measures. The more RUclips sites that get this information out there the better. Lives could be saved.
That's a great idea. I'll make a video in the near future on some basic safety tips like holding your disengaged belt while ascending. Could save a spearos life
Loving your spear fishing content, I’m new to it and your commentary IDing the fish and then telling us the size is super helpful!
That's awesome, glad you are enjoying the content and finding it helpful. If you want to improve your diving quickly , I would highly recommend joing your local spearfishing club.
Haha to be fair with sails down not lit up, they do look like a marlin. But that's pretty epic you managed to get the shot considering it wasn't super interested in you. 👏🤙
Haha, I'll know better next time. The fish didn't give me an easy shot. 😅
Cracker sail fish cliffy well done mate 🤙😀
Cheers mate, I was stoked!
Good selection of great fish for SEQ!
Thanks mate, was a particularly good day that one. Top table fish
Good work Liam and crew! I was there beside you earlier then shot up further north. Been a poor billfish season for us trollers but an excellent pelagic season in general on everything else!
Liam spotted a bunch of bill fish smashing bait while we were dealing with the sailfish. So there were a few around that day. The sailfish was full of long toms. Do you ever use them for troll baits??
I don't. We do use gar a lot of course. I have seen the longtoms jumping there a fair bit.
Yeeeeoowww great fush
Cheers Shane, I was stoked
haha noice fish
Cheers bro! Let's get a blue marlin
"let me know what I did wrong in the comments" what a guy lmao legend.
Haha, glad someone appreciated that one🤣
I didn't know you can legally spear or catch a Sail Fish. What a beaut!
100% legal here in Qld Australia. Thanks mate, pretty stoked
So good cliffy! Kiichi has got to be the best dive buddy in the world
Kiichi is a legend. Love diving with him. That second shot was so quick 🤣
What did you do with it?
We ate it
Wicked video mate, well done. That Sail fish was a ripper, thay go so hard. awesome footage, thanks for sharing the adventure! Dive safe, have fun! 🤿🍺👍🙏😁
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it. Definitely a day to remember!
Awesome fish cliff👏👏
Thanks Drew!
i was freaking out every time you've said MARLIN.... ;)
Haha, I'm a bit special some times
Been waiting for this one!! Nice one Cliff! Very cool how it turned straight at you, great job with nailing the shot 💪
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm not sure if it was trying to intimidate me or it saw the flasher behind me and was checking that out. Whatever it was doing it made for great footage 😅
@@DownDeep haha for sure! I've heard of Marlin turning and taking a swim at spearos if you chase them, but have no idea regarding sailies. I guess it could be similar based on this!
Watching Tim Mac's marlin video and the same thing happened. He charged at it and it charged back😅
@@DownDeep haha that's the one, noticed some similarities in this video with that one 😜
@LearningToHuman haha, it's got millions of views. Hopefully this one does alright
Nice fish, great footage 👌👌 must have been hard keeping your composure man 👍 how was it on the fork??
Thanks mate. Yeah there was a lot of pressure to not mess up the shot. As far as eating goes it was pretty good. No way near as good as mangrove jack or trout though. The wings on the BBQ were very good, my favourite part of the saily
Awesome fish cliff
Thanks man, still stoked
Awesome bro keep killing it! 🙂
Cheers mate!
Whats that magnesium spray u mentioned?
Schuessler Tissue Salts Mag Phos Muscle Relaxant Oral Spray 30ml I have to get some for myself to keep on the boat. Pretty handy if anyone is having cramping issues.
What size single roller is your Aimrite?
I'm using a 1.25 aimrite Vendetta. Absolute weapon!
@@DownDeep Nice, such a sick gun! I’m looking at a 110. Do you use a 7.5mm shaft?
Yeah man, 7.5mm rob allen shaft. I have been thinking about trying an 8mm manny sub shaft. I think the rob allen 7.5mm gets a little shaft whip some times.
Fins shouldn't break (but they do)! I have had a pair of Ray Powel Diver fins for over 15 years, a little tatty on the ends from trundling over rock platforms but still going strong. Good reliable fins are essential!
This is the first time I have seen it. I have a pair of diveR composites, they are about 10 years old. Still going strong. The fins that snapped were brand new diveR inegras.
@@DownDeep Wow, that could cost a life if your down & over stayed your bottom time & your fin snaps!
100% mate. That's why it's imperative to at least dive one up one down. Anything can happen at any time. Dive buddy is the number one thing you can have for safety
Nice video man i enjoyed the commentary.
Glad you enjoyed! thanks for the comment
"Not much of a tax return''; that's a good one!
haha, might need a new accountant😅 thanks mate
ได้แรงนัดดอกนี้
Yes, lucky shot😁
Sir watching from philippines❤❤
Thanks for the support!
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸. Nice underwater video.🌷
Thankyou, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Belter of a video, nice work Cliff and crew. loved it! Did Danny Sleep in and miss the boat? 🤣🤣Well done, Dive safe, have fun! 👍😁🍻🐟🤿
Haha, cheers mate. Danny was on holiday or something. He missed out! Was an awesome day. Gun is shooting a lot better now. The shaft had a slight bend in it
@@DownDeep Thought it may have😁
How do you have your gun set up? Trying to get mine dialed in
I have a 7.5mm rob allen shaft. The shaft without the shark fins as I hear they are prone to snapping. I also run 16mm mannysub rubbers, best rubber I have used. What gun are you using, I might be able to help
Just built a roller with ermes muzzle / handle and a soriatec barrel. I'm thinking about using a 7.5 - 8mm shaft
How's the mannysub rubbers compared to primeline?
@allanjr808 very nice, I want to make another gun for blue water hunting. I already have the double roller head. I have not used primeline I don't think. Mannysub has just been flawless so I don't see a reason to try anything else
Awesome footage! And nice shots. I think you shaved 2 scales off that last jack!
What is the Evinrude you have on the back? I have an Evinrude FICHT 150, I think it is just pre ETEC. Wondering if they are any good.
Hey mate, it's a 90 etec. It's starting to miss a bit at low revs. Apart from that it runs pretty well. I'm looking at upgrading to a Yamaha 115 when finances allow.
@@DownDeep I am getting a 150 Optimax. It only has 220 hours on it and they are pretty fuel efficient. The Yamaha would be good but the newer 4 strokes are crazy expensive.
Yeah, they are pretty expensive. For myself I think it's a good investment. I will be using it all the time. With better fuel efficiency and more reliability, I'll be able to do longer and further trips. What boat do you have
@@DownDeep I have a 1800 Mustang. One of the older ones that has had the floor and transom done and pod added. It is a bit rough, but should be a solid hull. I had a 115 Opti on a previous boat and it was super efficient, I could get 85km on 30L which was amazing. The 150 Opti I bought was only 5k and only had 220 hours on it. I know they are reliable and fuel efficient so I went with that to keep the price down. We are based in Mackay, if you are ever up that way or want to do Cloughy look me up!!
@@Timbuctoo sounds like a good dive rig. I would love to come up and dive the cloughy challenge. When is it run?
🎯🐟🤜🤛✌
😁💪
Nice one Cliff, looked like an epic day out! Great work with the edit too!
Thanks man, it really was an awesome day. Some cool fish taken. This one took a long time to edit😅
Definitely paid off!
and… subbed Love your work Keep ‘em coming 👍
Awesome mate! Welcome to the channel 😄
Awesome stuff cliff, always a good watch
Appreciate it mate!
Deadly video that was, got some good spots with some good fish 👍🏾
Cheers mate, appreciate the support. Was worried the longer video might of been a bit boring in some parts
Love you, Cliffy
Love you to bro❤️
