    Another good video. I appreciate your philosophy about dispatching them quickly and with respect. Looking forward to the three part dry age videos.

      Thank you! The third part of the dry age series will be different, as it’s interviews with two people I respect for how they deal with their fish. The first two parts are up though!

    thank you, that's a lot more easier than I thought it would be.

      Glad to hear that! It’s a quick process but completely worth it for the respect of the animal and improved meat quality.

    Good information, appreciate your promotion of sustainability as a spearo. 👍👍

      Thank you! It was how I was raised so I think it’s right to pass it along. I like to surround myself with others who think the same about sustainable Spearfishing like @kabir and my dive buddies you see in the videos.

    Incredible tips , just getting into spear fishing and love the idea of leaving the “ waste “ there to stay in the ecosystem ♻️

      Always be safe out there. With regards to any guts or bleeding you do in the water, always safe than sorry till you feel comfortable with that. Blood/guts will for sure raise your chances of sharks, so i would string on a float further from you. Let me know how getting into the sport is for you, it's a great community. Safe diving

    What about the cable through the spine?

    • @SBSpears
      @SBSpears  3 года назад +3

      100% traditional way of doing it to kill all nerve endings. An incision behind the brain and the cable gets slid in killing the nerve endings. Unfortunately while Spearfishing I can’t do this, but I know many fisherman do. Great point!

      @@SBSpears can’t we just slice the fishes spine with knife ?

    • @SBSpears
      @SBSpears  3 года назад +3

      That won’t have the same effect as the cable. The cable goes through the entire spine after killing it humanely in the brain and bleeding. It needs to go through the entire spine to kill any nerve reactions and preserve the meat to the highest quality.

      Haha that’s okay! It also means no blood on your cutting board so less mess. Your knife will be cutting so smoothly through those filets 💪

    Ikejime also involves running a wire inside the fish's spine.

    • @SBSpears
      @SBSpears  3 года назад

      Yeah, if you look at other comments I do agree about the next step of a wire going down the spine to kill nerve endings and have even higher quality meat. For spearfishing that’s not always the easiest or simplest thing to do, but ideally like you said we’d be able to run the wire through the spine. It’s why I even say that you could use a kill spike for immediate dispatching and then cut the tail to bleed and gills it out even quicker after the fish has been humanely dispatched.

    • @xjinit

      @@SBSpears you can run the wire on shore or back home.

    • @SBSpears
      @SBSpears  3 года назад

      You can, but would it still be effective that many hours later or even worthwhile? I’m curious because by the time I’m at shore rigor mortis kicks in and the point of doing ikejime completely with kill spike in brain and wire is to reduce lactic acid, ammonia and other unwanted effects on the meats. The kill spike does it to a certain extent and can be done spearfishing, but the nerve endings remain firing or breaking down while you dive the rest of the day. That would be a great experiment to do just kill spike ikejime and do the whole ikejime and then later on finish the kill spike one with the cable in the spine and see if it is still beneficial. Hopefully I’ll test this out later on!

    very good advice thanks, One question, what is the name of that skewer that is used to finish the fish, excuse me, I don't understand English very well and I want to buy one of those, thank you, nice video

    • @SBSpears
      @SBSpears  3 года назад +1

      Hi there! Which language do you prefer, maybe I know it? And the skewer I use, do you mean the type of knife I used? Some people call them shanks, pointed blades, spearfishing knives, as long as it’s two sides go to a point it’s perfect for use on ikejime. I can also use the speargun tip and poke it in. When I was living in Japan I got an ice pick (the ones to break apart ice) it’s not a blade just a long thin point piece of metal. Hope this answers your question!

    How do you find the brain? I sometimes knife the head but the fish doesn’t die…

    • @SBSpears
      @SBSpears  2 года назад

      So on the video I showed a line you can see towards the head. If you need a guide it would be above/behind the eyes as a general area. You’ll notice a spasm and usually the fish then is completely out.

    1:00 what type of gun with double hook?

    • @SBSpears
      @SBSpears  3 года назад

      So that’s a double flopper tip screwed onto that gun. Depending on the size of your thread you can find a double flopper online or at most spearfishing stores.

      I’m not sure what your comment is attempting to say. But sustainability is more than just taking what you need in a way that is selective, it also means respecting the animal and not letting it suffer needlessly.
