Spearfishing & Shark Encounters while Freediving in the Florida Keys - 4K HD- Watch Till the End!
This episode gets better the longer you watch!
In this episode of Ocean Ethos, Luke Pfleiderer joins the usual suspects: Captain Ed Martin of Killshot Spearguns along with Carson Rutz as well as a new face to the channel, Alan, aboard Capt. Ed’s Boat offshore of Islamorada, FL.
This episode has little bit of everything: Black grouper, Red Grouper, Sharks, Mutton Snapper, & mackerel, and of course humor which is always present when Capt. Ed Martin is around!
Forgetting my fins on land, I was able to focus on filming more than hunting and got some phenomenal 3rd person footage and Shark footage towards the end of the video.
The day starts off slow, but stay tuned to the end where we dive wit...

    What gun do you have?

    • @OceanEthos
      @OceanEthos 4 месяца назад

      I use a Killshot 110cm Enclosed Track with an 8mm shaft. I have put various Killshot models through the paces over the years and they're all top quality & Highly recommended by anyone who has used one! He sets that 110cm length up with either your standard shaft diameter or the thicker 8mm like I use. I like the 8mm on mine because in the Keys we can drift the reef or the wrecks back to back with the same gun and have a better chance of shooting and landing larger pelagic fish if they come by because the kinetic energy of the thicker shaft provides better penetration if you run into a surprise wahoo, AP or AJ, etc. If you're just shooting snapper and grouper off the reef, I would recommend the thinner shaft since it's faster and better suited for the reef. Hope this helps!

      @OceanEthos 5 месяцев назад

      It is my understanding that when the temperature gets too high, they bleach and they turn white. If the water temperature returns to normal quick enough so they do not die, the algae will return and they will gain their color back. There may be corals that are naturally white but not these. Great question!

    Great vid thanks for sharing! I have been free diving islamorada and same reefs since 2021. Im surprised last visit little over week ago I noticed coral bleaching at Cheeca Rocks. Idk if I missed this event you documented, I have not seen it that bad. I was concerned for the reefs as last summer there were loads of hot spots in the ocean. Not many dives this year as I do not get along with jellyfish and they have been out. Recently have visited Alligator, Davis, Pickles, Hens and Chickens reef. Im wondering though is it mostly dead what we’re seeing or is this how it looks here in FL? I see abundance of purple fans and branch corals. But the rock underneath it when u look closely seems to be dead and covered in algae.

    • @OceanEthos
