British spearfishing champion - what does it take?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2024
- The British spearfishing championship is a fiercely contested title each year. The champion is calculated by taking your best three scores out of four competitions. In this video I break down the double header competition I dived in Cornwall & Devon. What I did wrong, what I did right and strategy. I hope you can learn something from my mistakes and become a better diver. All the fish in the competition are donated to the needy. We could certainly eat all our fish but if we can help others less fortunate than us with the fresh fish we enjoy regularly, I am for that.

As strange as it sounds but I've been really addicted to these spearfishing videos lately! 😂😁
not strange at all , great vids
Millennial Travel Confessions broooo same!
Same here!
Same mate
you all probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
Morning safety briefing, 1 sec later everyone goes diving by themselves haha. Great video as always though:)
exactly my thoughts.
Yeah I was trippin on that aswell
needs a slow heart rate, drinks a coffee and runs 2k lol!
🤣🤣🤣
Just got a Deepgear GoPro mask from eBay. Can't wait to start making videos
Great video once again. Always a pleasure to watch, waiting for the next one!!
SpearFin thanks man!
Another awesome video Dan, have been waiting for another video as soon as this one came up I was happy!!
Trav Morgan - Hai legend✌🏼😀
Brilliant account of a testing competition. A bonus to see the legend Shane 👍
Yay you uploaded, keep up the great work Dan
Love all you voids
Excellent video! Great fish! Looked like piles of fun. Dive safe.
Just made my evening Daniel thanks for the video. Was great to see our Cornish waters unlucky with the comp. Best of luck with the next one. Can't wait to see your next video
Nigel Barrett always a good time in Cornwall although I was disappointed to see rattler missing from the shelves of the Waitrose I stopped at!
Awesome video Dan! Really interesting to get a good look at what goes on in a spearing comp 🙂 Might have to give one a go! “Don’t leave fish to find fish” sounds like a great tip 👌🏼
Competitions are a great way to learn. A lot of the best divers in the world have competition backgrounds.
Nice video and catch Dan...despite all difficulties. I think that exploring Devon and Cornwall could be a great idea for the next videos "like catch and cook"?
I would be happy to see an episode when you catch up with Joe PK as you are my both favourite channels!?
Zibb I’ve plans to meet up with Joe, he makes some incredible videos.
Good luck, hope you get more good fish on the next competition. Stay safe as always
Awsome video man, nice to se your strategy and even how you think. Keep it up i cant wait to the next vid👍🏻
Liked the video immediately. Always know it's gonna be good when you upload mate. Your channel seems to be growing heaps as well, super stoked with that too.
Thanks Joe, slow and steady growth.
Daniel, you are the best. Another phenomenal vid, mate.
As a Cornishman, it’s proper exciting that we’ve had something like this down here, we never hear about this as much as boardmasters or other competitions. Haven’t watched the vid yet but good luck!
Hey man awesome video! Could you make one in the future about tips and tricks etc? Like holding breath and stuff... that would be useful!
thanks for sharing Daniel
Nice video.
The weather conditions were ideal for me!!!!
Thanks again for taking us hunt with you!!!
Farewell
Thx for the video. Please make more. Love seeing you out there spearfishing.
So beautiful location! Cheers mate!
Badass to be able to make that hike pre-dive...great stuff...great vid.
Just about to buy all my gear to start spearfishing I looked at one of your other videos with regards to the gear I'll need and to be honest this is an affordable hobby for anyone that wants to do it! Been watching videos all over the world but nice to know spearfishing is going strong here in the UK maybe I'll see you guys at the spearfishing championships in the next few years! :P Thanks for making these videos Dan the man!! Hahaha
You're a inspiration to many good to see somebody enjoying life to the max! One love love! Stay blessed! :)
The good the bad and the ugly, cool to see the whole story!
Harry Lindley lots of ugly this time round 😂
cofe ☕☕I watched this video about ten times because of the wonderful atmosphere among the divers Wonderful times👌👌😉
Nice video mate, when are you coming back to Aus for a dive, it would be good to see you up in cairns spearing a few
Rod Ashford no plans for Australia in the near future.
another great video Daniel enjoyed watching this first day you gave it all you had second day you did really good look forward to the next competition.
Great video Dan and good effort in the comp. Would be great to see a video of you and Joe PK 👍
hopperpaul1 that will happen one day soon!
I like the length of the underwater shots. Really shows how you are hunting.
Thanks!
I cut a lot of them down, thanks for the feedback 👌
@@DanielMann You miss-understood me. I love the length. I will probably never go spear fishing. So it is fun to see how it is done and not just the highlight but how it is actually done. Thanks for the great content!
Nice video Dan!! The most important thing is to end up safe and enjoy spearfishing!
Looking forward for your next video!!!
Another wee gem fellas well done love your work
That viz was better than Tweed Heads on Sunday! Great vid mate!
Love the vids brother keep it up
Good to see you again
Great story Daniel. Good to see legends have normal human days too but experience, cunning and skills will eventually pay off. Thanks for sharing, cheers, Gavin.
Trailer Yacht the guys who consistently do well in these competitions are on another level. Very methodical.
You should hook up with the blokes from Fishing the Wild, in NT. They need someone with underwater filming skills, and you need to get back into some water with fish in it.
You won't get taken by a croc or tiger shark, because they have someone looking out from the boat. Safe as houses.
Those guys are producing some very high quality films. Not sure I’d do too much swimming in that part of the world. Loads of fish here in the Atlantic... in certain areas.
Great work, as always! Thanks for sharing!
Bravo Daniel!
These are well produced and interesting videos.
I’m streaming them on a TV and they look good too.
Best and only spearfishing channel with such quality in the videos
Samir Carreta thanks Samir, you should check out some other channels like Joe PK, David Ochoa, Dan Jones, Harry Lindley, Underwater Ally, YBS.
Daniel Mann yes I will , you’re so natural everyone loves that
good on ya man... workin for it... great video as usual.. I would imagine you taking the time to document everything for the channel hurts your performance and is a massive time suck.. but many folks including myself appreciate it.. cheers..
It's not too bad but if it was world championships there would be no camera!
I love when you do the comps, please do more
Hey Daniel, you should come here to the UAE, Abu Dhabi there is tons of huuuge spanish mackerel here but I don’t recommend shore diving
why not shore dive there?
K Y I’ve seen some photos of monsters there. Looks fantastic diving.
ahhhh happier times before Corona stopped us doing anything
Your videos are too good!
ah mate this was literally round the corner from where I live I had no idea this was on!
great vid again mate
That WAUC shirt and Hoodie though! Shane representing the West Aussies - onya cobber!
Got to thank the sponsors eh?
Great Vid Dan, doing the hard yards mate. Reminds me of a couple of State tiles here. Last one, Pat M .... Grand Master,65 + led me and some young blokes 2kms over a mountain to dive for not much. Young blokes didn't do the distance. Looking forward to the next instalment
I feel every competition diver has attempted a stupidly ambitious trot at some stage of their career 😂
You did awesome amigo !! Am learning lots from watching your videos ,I spearfish too but in more worn waters !! Keep it up ,am sure you will do better next time !!
My favourite spot to spear is a two mile hike in. But its worth it. I can't fathom running in a 7mm wetsuit though, damn!
I do those hikes from ringstead it’s usually quite fun and warming before a dive. There’s shit weather forecasted for Ringstead this weekend 😞
Excellent vid. love your work bro!
Good luck for next weekend 👍
Muito maneiro! Sou do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro...
dan the man! love the vids brother!
that was a great video .
Nice as always mate 👌 I made the exact same mistake in one of the state titles, too much walking, nowhere to get in 🤦♂️ ended up missing the weigh in...
I feel every competition diver has had this nightmare 😂
Daniel Mann especially when you have a good stringer! Worst feeling
Great stuff cobber!
Keep it up you expired me to go out and have fun at the lake
Like always Dan, a really informative and we'll put together. I'm off out for my first spearo session this weekend :D
Thanks Adam, good luck
@@DanielMann thank you mate I'll need it
Awesome video mate
Thanks Kevin
i cant wait to get in 2 the south west coast of wellington this sunday
Haha, with the "fiato corto" sweater... Good job mate, I wish we had all the bass you have in the UK here in italy... Pollock seems like an interesting fish too ;)
Another top vid mate. I’m a new subscriber and brand new to spearfishing. Any chance you’d do a “beginners guide to UK spearfishing” style vid? Covering basics like where and when to look for fish and simple bits like breathing-up and how to dive and aim??
Hey Jack, welcome to the channel. As winter rolls around and I dive less I’ll have a chance to make these style videos for sure 👌
Daniel Mann Spot on mate. Cheers for the reply and I look forward to the vids!
That “Fiato Corto” sweater mate...top class! ;-)
Goat Track!! hahaha been there done that.well done mate.
Interesting, always wanting to do this but worried about the strong current. hoping be able to dive like you one day!
Hi Daniel, love your videos. Big fan. Have u ever thought about about trying for a bluefin in the med? I used to see a few schools when i was in the sth of france, but never had the chance to give it a go. Also something cool was the run of dorade in a town called sete. There where hundreds of fishos with guys spearing in between them. It was mayhem. Keep up the good work!
Another exciting blog 🧜♂️
Who wants to see his mates videos of the shipwreck? Wud love to see them
Congratulations for a good fishing.
Grazie Mario.
Congratulation to 100.000 follower. See it right now :)
I like ur competition videos...
Wow was in Cornwall in 1997 but never got my gills wet , thanks for the vid Dan
It has some amazing diving and coastline.
Daniel Mann do they have abalone or sea urchin?
No abalone but urchins, lobsters, scallops, razor clamps, cockles, crabs etc.
My home county and one of my many spots. Spent so much time there as a boy! Now live in Perth and also a member of wa under sea 😂
Gunna have to get myself some kit to try spearfishing always assumed you needed some form of license as with most things here in the UK so never looked into it.
Well done man! Next year let’s go for the gold
Always going for the gold. With the current scores I can’t win for the year (nor was it likely!) but hopefully I can get better next year.
Daniel Mann blessings from Greece
Great job
That's great vis from where I grew up ;) lol :)
You should start a Facebook group to post what your up to and what you catch as well as sneak peeks and updates on vids
George Soper I do that on Instagram 👌
thank you for the vd
I’m pretty sure the 2nd spot is at a beach called thurlestone in Devon! Used to dive there all the time but not for spear fishing, such a good spot 👍🏼
Sure is, lovely rock to fly my drone through!
Daniel Mann can jump of the arch too :)
You got to go chase that dream Dentex in the Mediterranean.
Also to add gilt-head bream, amberjack and a grouper!
Perhaps next year. Ran out of annual leave for this year. I’ve also shot many amberjacks in Australia so not so fussed on them but the others I’d love to spear.
We will be waiting for others to be shown on that stringer then. I suggest mid spring or mid autumn days. Small blue fish and squid tend to migrate in that time of the year.
Next year mate!
Can’t wait to see the curry catch and cook vid. I wanna make it 🤤
Ben long I’m having trouble procuring the recipe from Gary...
Daniel Mann noooooooooo! 😭 secret recipe?
I regularly spearfish exactly where you are mate. Gimme a shout next time 😜
Chloe's comment 5 seconds in "is that my mug!" 😂😂😂😅 Busted
Shane Robertson busted indeed!
Not allowed to burley shaneo..?
@@craigsthornton1 not sure to be honest, I don't think it's that effective over here, big current and shit viz, wouldn't know where it is
8:20 looks like u enjoyed a few pints 🍺 😂. Great vid and very informative.
Stuck to lemonade actually. No beers before competitions!
Keep goin’!
Bravo ,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fantastic Dan...
And Congratulations mate...
Well played bro.
You were a brave man walking the Talland Bay route.. Surprised you didn't see any flatties in Talland though. Great video nonetheless. :)
Hey Daniel thanks for you honesty, keep the amazing content coming.
My favorite part about your videos is the genuinity, rough places that most of spearos really dive in.
What kind of setup you use for your water bottle? i've been strugling with it
Thanks Pedro. I actually twist copper strand around the neck of the bottle to form a loop on either side. Then a piece of cord between the loops and a swivel clip in the middle. Keeps the bottle dragging behind the float evenly without spinning out of control, tangling everything in the stringer.
@@DanielMann thanks for the quick reply, i'll try to replicate it!
I never not like one of Dan's videos
Dan the man!!
nice, your still like a champ sir...
Man, I'm from the UK (not living there currently) and i do love it, but im wondering what it is about it that you like? Considering you're living there and all!
Nice video poma
Plz come to east London South Africa
13:14 "Not behd, good soize".
Had to be done!
@@DanielMann Would be disappointed if ya didn't hahaha!
