So interesting. Thanks for making this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! When I find another, I'll make a 2.0!
Very cool. Such a pro. Nice shootin’!
Thank you!
Wow!! Great camera with Such sharp footage ! The shark dives were super cool - such a fun day and great fish 🎉 thanks Luke
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fish are amazing! 😁
Yes they are!
Way to go Cody and congratulations
Cody is a stud!
Nice Fish. Those sure are pretty.
@@eamonndonovan6958 Thank you! What a blessing it was to be able to harvest it!
Good job bros, dive safe always
Thanks for subscribing! You too! Cheers!
Special find in the Florida Keys!
Thanks Derek! I was stoked!
Well done on the video Bro. Thanks for sharing your spearfishing with us, greatly appreciate the entertainment, loved the tunes and fish, very cool. Wishing you and family many Blessings, have a great weekend. Stay safe, have fun, enjoy life! 👍👌🙏
@@Dstick1Spearfishing thanks bro!
What gun do you have?
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!
That thing is a 2 man job...one to hold and one to pull!!!
@@debraward1813 that would have probably solved my problem!
Sweet shot!!
@@ValidatedGolf thank you!
Can you do a review on how to cut your wetsuit to fit the GoPro mount never seen that before it’s sick
@@drewdodge3498 I never thought of that, I have a hard time wearing a mask with a mount and I hate the head strap because it always falls off. I’ll have to do a tutorial when I do the next one. Essentially burn a hole in the top enough for the mount to poke through and make sure to use a wide, thin base so it doesn’t spin or put too much pressure on your head.
@@OceanEthosI have the same problem I hate wearing the head strap and I end up just ditching the GoPro would really appreciate that tutorial you got me to subscribe just off that lol
Beautiful video 🤙🏽 good stuff
@@Gernfishin thank you! I’m hoping to get more posted soon! Stay tuned!
Unreal, nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Perfect eating size yellowfin. That's so sick. I also landed a yellowfin this year in Miami of all places. Super cool and exciting!
That’s awesome! I bet it caught you off guard all the way up there! Always fun to come across those less common species! Cheers and thanks for watching!
Great work boys! That’s “work hard, play hard” in action!
Work hard, play hard indeed!
There’s only one wreck in isla with mooring balls 🤫
@@darreniorio9317 I know 🤦🏻 I tried to edit it out but it screwed up the rest of my timeline. 🤐 maybe I put that in there to throw everyone off the scent😎
🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Had a blast thanks for showing me ropes, miss ya 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@codyhoward1783 you rocked it out there harvest your first fish at 60 feet is pretty impressive! Most people land their first fish in 20’ of water and it’s usually a grunt or sheepshead 🤣
@@OceanEthos I take a lot of people out for their first time and most people's first fish is a spadefish in 10' of water, honestly. Going down 60' for your first fish is crazy!
@@WandereringFamily123 I agree! I was baffled in the video as you can tell! 10-20' of water and maybe a grunt, sheepshead, triggerfish or schoolmaster is what we normally expect for beginners. I think Cody's background in Scuba combined with his athleticism helped him a ton. Hopefully beginner and first time spearfishers see this and curb their expectations lol
What an amazing afternoon it was! Great fish bud!
@@eamonndonovan6958 it was a pleasure diving with you Eamon! Be back down soon!
These are endangered stop eating them jerk
And i like the shell
@@shepsgotjokes2009 thanks! Check out the full length video on my channel!
That looks good
@@shepsgotjokes2009 thanks for watching!
Better than Saturday night live when they were funnier. Florida born 1959. Lived Grand bahama. Sean 1000 of them. This is your story don't ever stop telling your story.
@@vailwarren8175 thanks for the Support! Glad you liked it! Cheers!
I thought the whites were part of their natural color.
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!
If this conch available please sell it to me. I'm from india.
@@Jeevan1 it’s not available, but it is a beauty! Thanks for watching!
3:45 to 18:06, just pulling out the conch
Sometimes it takes awhile to pull out 😅
Wow I live in Florida as well and I’ve never seen one that big.
Thanks man, that’s still the biggest I’ve seen to date. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Dispatching and chumming at the same time One day boys, one day And you won’t know what hit you
❤ Amazing footage
Thank you!
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.
The bleaching killed a ton of coral. Corals at cheeca took a hard hit. On a positive note, the soft coral like sea fans seem to have rebounded nicely!
Yea a lot of it did die and get covered in algae, unfortunately. I’ll do another update soon. Luckily a ton of coral restoration organizations are working on recovery and solutions. You can look into ICARE, MOTE and REEF if you’re wanting to contribute! Cheers!
Wow, how cool is this. Loved it bro, well done! The clarity and colours are amazing. Cheers for sharing this with us! Dive safe, have fun!🤿👍😁
Thank you! Cheers!
So clear. The colors are phenomenal!
Thanks! It’s beautiful under there! Some of the best snorkeling in North America!
What an incredible sight and I just can't get over the sheer visibility. I'll have to note this place on my scuba/snorkel list. 😳😍
Alligator reef is truly unique. It seems like when everywhere else in the florida Keys is murky, it’s still clear at Alligator. I’ve taken over 1,000 trips out to Alligator Reef and I can honestly say 90% of the time it’s clear!
@@OceanEthos How very cool and lucky! I envy that you've been out there so often. I love how healthy it looks too. It's good to see.
Where's the alligator?...🤔
Alligator Reef is a Coral reef named after the U.S. Navy schooner “Alligator”, part of the U. S. Navy Anti-Piracy Squadron that wrecked there in 1822. Despite the name, there are no alligators at this reef!
That was just awesome footage, the vis was next level, cheers for sharing the stunning beauty. Dive safe, have fun! 🍻🐟🤿👍
Thanks! You should come enjoy sometime! That bait tends to run under there during the end of May. Sundances Watersports runs a snorkel boat out there everyday!
I could still miss.
Hahaha
Born and raised in Fl. Hands down the biggest Horse Conch I've ever seen. Did you check for records?
Thanks man, yea I did check for records. I was just alittle shy of the record but it was close!
Great capture, thanks for sharing 💙 what camera are you using?
Thanks! It’s a DJI Action 4. I didn’t color grade or edit it. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@OceanEthos I appreciate that, thanks again
Amazing visibility!! What a world under the water. I never thought I’d see a zillion of anything, but I think I just witnessed a zillion fish. 😂🎉
Thank you! That bait ball was insane! Glad you enjoyed!
Wow that is some National Geographic worthy footage! I can’t believe how many fish were there @4:30
Thanks! It was one of the best days I’ve witnessed under that lighthouse!
Dang that looked like an awesome trip out on the water!! Living that Florida keys life! 🤙🏻
Thanks! It was a blast! We always say, “If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong” 🤣
So you ate it raw @OceanEthos ? I didnt see you cook it in the video. I might be worried about tiny parasites, which cooking I guess would take care of.
Cooking would take care of parasites. I “cooked” it in lime juice, the same way you would “cook” a civiche. The citric acid in the lime juice actually cooks the meat. I’m not sure if it has any effect on any potential parasites though
Sweet redemption. Wahoo are great fish.
Thanks for the comment! We love hunting and eating them too!
👋
👋🏼
How did you get the guts out? Oh smaller shells you can boil the rest of the conch out.
I reached my hand as far up as I could and pulled most of it out. There was still some in there so I put it outside by an ant pile and they did the rest of the work!
@@OceanEthos Great idea. Never thought to do that lol
Such a Nice wahoo bro🤙
Thank you man! It was a blessed day! Thanks for subscribing and tuning in!
