Thanks for reassuring us that those sounds were indeed humpback whales, thought for a moment that someone was facing the consequences of a SPICY Wagamamas
Congrats on 9 years mate. You really inspired me to dive deeper and try new places, shot my first big time fish last week (140cm Spanish mackrel) and I’d like to thank you 🤝🏽
Congrats on 9 years 🎉love videos ,come to croatia in summer ,if you can in town Novigrad in dalmatia , sea Novigrad is very good ,we could go spearfishing together if you would like ,I have boat, have good places for nice fishes
No worries mate family and friends are more important than filming for a video especially when you haven't seen them in a while. Amazing video and congratulations on 9 year's.
Wish you many more happy years together, travelling the world! Great catches and beautiful footage but those muddy waters reminded me of spearfishing for Seabass! I see you are liking the charcoals now! 😁
So good to finally have enough phone service to watch this video, well worth the wait! I know I say all your videos are well put together but this one was something else, the footage, commentary and story telling were all on point 👌 It’s much easier to film and get footage when there’s just the two of you hey!
Beautiful country. Been there for work quite a bit. Beauty of living in the U.K. is I can fly there in the morning, shoot the interview and be home that night… was a long day though I just admit 😂
Wonderful video! What a wonderful way to spend an anniversary with your beautiful wife. Congratulations. 🥳 thank you for bringing such great content. Sitting in freezing cold Idaho in the US it’s so nice to see content of warm water sport spearfishing.
Congratulations!! 100 more anniversaries to come. Wish you happiness above everything! One more amazing video mate!! Love it!! If you are still there try to hit a red emperor
Hey Dan, good videos mate. Still watching your content. Welcome back to the big island and look fwd to seeing you and Tim chase barramundi in the next one 👍
In some of your earlier videos you have mentioned that you have built multiple spearguns. It would be really cool in the near future if you document your building of one. Keep it up, I love your vids
I just think they are a bit overrated as a fish when everyone says they are the best in the world. Any day of the week I'd rather eat a red emperor, Venus tusk fish, large mouth nannygai, threadfin salmon or goldspot wrasse.
I managed to get my wife on a fishing trip during our honeymoon but she has never fallen for that again, you must be pretty good at sugar coating. Surely trout is in the top 5 so versatile, crumbed, baked, numus, curries. Each to there own i guess, keep up the great videos.
I laughed at the proposal thing....because it drew many parallels. Our family was flying out to meet my brother who was on his uni gap year in Australia, and to meet in Sydney for his 21st birthday. Short story was, I'd decided to propose when we did the Harbour bridge climb. I'd managed to get this ring half way across the world and to the top of Sydney Harbour bridge, without being busted. Down on one knee at the top, asking the question, to be met with 'are you joking....?' No, no. I'm not 🙄🙄
5:37 am I crazy or is there some sort of very camouflaged fish on the wreck? Looks like a scorpion fish but too big! I'm not familiar with Australian fish :D
I find coral trout a bit bland to be honest. The best part of them for me is the skin. In Australia I'd rather eat red emperor, snapper, grassy emperor, Venus tusk fish or scorpion fish.
The carbon guns were made with lots of foam, resin, fibreglass, carbon fibre and plenty of swearing. Essentially you make your core, then using vacuum bagging, add your composite layers on top of that.
Happy anniversary 🎉 but 9 years and no kids as a dad of 2 I would highly recommend a baby for you both lol parenting is hard but rewording 🤣🤣what I am saying don't have any have fun sleep in 🤣
11:25 just hold you hold that fish that is not the right way to haul it because it could slide off of the spear gun if the flange is not pierce to the other side of the fish🫡🙏🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾🤿
Hey mate - how come that you’ve given up your aqualung micromask ? Also is that the omer wolf ? How is it ? Seems like it have a smaller field of view, can you share your thoughts on it ? And also how is diving with polarized lenses compared to regular ones ? Great video as always
I’ve not given up on it. Still a great mask just very hard to find new at a reasonable price so testing alternatives. Omer is owned by Aqualung so naturally the design of the wolf mask is a similar fit. For me it has the same or slightly wider view than the micro. The lenses are polarised just a coating that adds a bit of contrast to the view. I quite like it and doesn’t darken the view much at all.
Here in the Florida,there is a huge superstition about having bananas on the boat while spearfishing. I’m curious how that got started and why people believe in it.
I think historically if you had bananas on long voyages it would ripen other fruits prematurely and was deemed bad luck as your fruit would go rotten. That’s what I’ve heard at least anyways. Very bad luck in Australian fishing circles too!
Thanks @@DanielMann ! They look awesome. I must say that my first impulse was to look for them so I could buy them too, but I can not find them, not even at Omer website lol...Could you send me the link of your suplyer please? you would make me a huge favour. Can´t wait for your next video! take care amigo
@@l4nc4ster7 it's a new model for 2023 so may not be in all stores yet. You can see it in the Omer catalogue though www.omersub.com/wp-content/themes/trackstore-child/assets/pdf/cataloghi/OMER-GlobalBuyersGuide2023.pdf
Hey Dan, Nice video as usual. Do you know any doctors around Brisbane that specialise in diving/sinus problems? Every time I go I get about 20-30 mins before something blocks up in my head and serious pain only 1m below the surface
Tipp by Dejan Sverko: Better wear mask over GoPro. This way the mask will lock the strap plastic on the back underneath it and it's practicaly impossible to loose the GoPro. also, this way, the GoPro feels less "fluttery" and doesn't need to be worn so tight. Changed after Dejan's Tipp, never did GoPro over Mask again.

That’s a great fish Alex, you’ll be eating well for a long time!
Congrats on 9 years!!! And thanks for taking us all along on your anniversary!
Thanks so much!

Thank you for highlighting my comment. Recognition means a lot when someone has depression.
Congrats on your 9 years.
Wish you many more happy years together, travelling the world!
Great catches and beautiful footage but those muddy waters reminded me of spearfishing for Seabass!
I see you are liking the charcoals now! 😁
Cheers Dimos, it was about 5-8m visibility, not the worst but not great for spotting bull sharks 🥵
It sure takes big b@lls!
Awesome video mate. Very close to my stomping grounds. Enjoy our wonderful waters while you are here. Again great video
Thank you for making videos! I have enjoyed every second of every video you have made!
14:30, i hear "tokmo"... they have these in Australia... haha, turtle doves... Happy anniversary. Greetings from the Philippines
Love to see a clip from so close to home, great Trout and Jack mate. Looking forward to the next Australia session.
Congratulations with anniversary, all the Best to your family 🙏
love your videos

Wicked show mate👊👌
Congrats mate great video, I grew up in bundy so it’s good to see it getting some love. All the best going forward mate keep up the work
I don’t know how you don’t live in Australia all year. What a beautiful place.
It’s just too far from anywhere else in the world…
@@DanielMann Just came back from Iceland a few weeks ago. 2 layovers and a combined 28 hour trip, Iceland was amazing but damn the flight was brutal.
Beautiful country. Been there for work quite a bit. Beauty of living in the U.K. is I can fly there in the morning, shoot the interview and be home that night… was a long day though I just admit 😂
Brooooo that schoal of goldens was amazing! Congrats to your anniversary keep it up mate.
Thanks Leo, the goldens are an impressive fish that’s for sure!
Good old C-ski 440. Awesome boat!
Love that little thing.
absolutely love your videos ❤️🔥💯
Thanks Jhan!
Wonderful video! What a wonderful way to spend an anniversary with your beautiful wife. Congratulations. 🥳 thank you for bringing such great content. Sitting in freezing cold Idaho in the US it’s so nice to see content of warm water sport spearfishing.
Thank you very much Logan!
Awesome. Happy anniversary.
It's just exactly like Europe. If Europe had some fish.
Can't wait to see Tim Mac again!
Haha indeed! It was a lot like Dubai actually, similar fish species and water clarity. Tim Mac appears in the next three episodes from Australia!
Great vid mate, love the Australian content. Looking forward to learning more!
Thanks mate, I’m sure you’ll be experiencing similar things soon.
Cant wait to see the vid with Tim
Great video!!
Thank you!
God bless from philipines
Happy Anniversary guys! 🍀
Thanks John!
Good anniversary.
Ciao Daniel & co.
Grazie mille Mario!
Congratulations!! 100 more anniversaries to come. Wish you happiness above everything! One more amazing video mate!! Love it!! If you are still there try to hit a red emperor
Cheers Antoni, Red emperor is coming :)
@@DanielMann ❤️❤️❤️
Luckily your lass isn't the one that got away congratulations mate
Happy anniversary to you both, and awesome video 😁
Cheers Tony!
Another fantastic video 👌👌👌
Thanks Jorl
@@DanielMann welcome ☺️
W video mate
Cracker vid again the jack being too big for the BBQ and having to cut the tail off got me laughing.
I like to think of it as the BBQ was too small for the Jack!
Casually spearfishing with whale sounds in the background, could travel to AUS for that reason alone. A well spent anniversary;)
All I think of is all the great white sharks following the whales so not super comforting for me 🤣
Hmm I can see that issue🤔 but whale song is idyllic even then!
Hey Dan, good videos mate. Still watching your content. Welcome back to the big island and look fwd to seeing you and Tim chase barramundi in the next one 👍
Cheers Kane! The barramundi are super fun to hunt.
In some of your earlier videos you have mentioned that you have built multiple spearguns. It would be really cool in the near future if you document your building of one.
Keep it up, I love your vids
If I build one again I will for sure.
Congrats on your 9 year anniversary eh :) :) love the videos keep them coming eh :)
Good luck getting the Baramundi!
Luck was on our side!
@@DanielMann ole Mick Dundee said those get pretty big.
Can we get a top 5 best eating fish video Dan? For trout not to be in top 5 there must be some real tasty fish I don't know about
I just think they are a bit overrated as a fish when everyone says they are the best in the world. Any day of the week I'd rather eat a red emperor, Venus tusk fish, large mouth nannygai, threadfin salmon or goldspot wrasse.
hey daniel you should come spearfishing with me in croatia.cheerrss!!

No sugar coating necessary 😎 To me trout is just quite bland, loads of things I prefer to eat.
Nice red throat emperor 😉
I wish it was a red throat!
Finally some content with timothy. He doesn't upload so this is a rare gem indeed.
You’ll love the next three videos from Australia, all featuring the man himself!
Haha thats my olds mans place in the background, after ya cleaned your fish at coral cove 😂
Small world!
@@DanielMann yep kinda fond of this cor er of it lol
Süper video 👍🐟🍷
So strange seeing you dive where I dive.
I’m sure you know it a lot better and get better fish from there. I’m sure there had to be fingermark somewhere.

5:37 am I crazy or is there some sort of very camouflaged fish on the wreck? Looks like a scorpion fish but too big! I'm not familiar with Australian fish :D
What are your top 5 eating fish Daniel? Coral trout definitely makes it into my top 3
I find coral trout a bit bland to be honest. The best part of them for me is the skin. In Australia I'd rather eat red emperor, snapper, grassy emperor, Venus tusk fish or scorpion fish.
I love diving wrecks! Im real interested in how you made your homemade carbon guns, I always thought those things looked sick.
The carbon guns were made with lots of foam, resin, fibreglass, carbon fibre and plenty of swearing. Essentially you make your core, then using vacuum bagging, add your composite layers on top of that.
@@DanielMannHaha nice just like a skimboard but it can kill. I appreciate it, I’ll have to try that someday thanks Dan!
👍
0:01 bruh I live near there just out the front of this river is where I was with a 7ft bull shark man I wish I went last week
It must be a bit different diving in a Australia after diving around the world for a while
Definitely, fish are much easier to spear and plenty more of them.
Idk why, but I got a nice tickle out of you talking about the fish that was eyeing you up mate
I’m sure it would have a punt if given half a chance
hello Daniel, really love your videos, just wondering what mask is that and where did you get it ?
Hey Deran, it’s the new Omer Alpha wolf mask. Should be available anywhere omer is stocked 👌
rate the new mask
It’s really comfortable and fits me well so it’s a thumbs up from me.
What boat is that one very interested
Awesome video, and happy anniversary! What mask are you using now :)?
This is the Omer Alpha wolf.
Happy anniversary 🎉 but 9 years and no kids as a dad of 2 I would highly recommend a baby for you both lol parenting is hard but rewording 🤣🤣what I am saying don't have any have fun sleep in 🤣
11:25 just hold you hold that fish that is not the right way to haul it because it could slide off of the spear gun if the flange is not pierce to the other side of the fish🫡🙏🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾🤿
I could see the barb out the other side of the fish so no problems.
What was that thing you picked up when you shot the coral trout? A rock? A box crab?
I thought it was some sort of mollusc but ended up being empty when I checked it in the boat.
Hey mate - how come that you’ve given up your aqualung micromask ?
Also is that the omer wolf ?
How is it ?
Seems like it have a smaller field of view, can you share your thoughts on it ?

How long you last under water ..in around 15 meters deep??
Depends on the conditions but sometimes long enough to shoot a fish.
Happy anniversary!! Nice video btw. Love your mask, could you tell me the brand plase? thanks a lot in advance

Love the vids, quick question do you colour grade the Gopro underwater footage back in the UK ?
Truth be told I graded this when I was in Morocco working last week 🤣

@@DanielMann thank you for the reply awesome channel keep up the good work
What's your top 5?
Depends which part of the world!
Wasn´t you worry about sharks? I mean, you dive in very dangerous waters with the extra danger of the bad visibility... Dont you feel scared?
They were in the back of my mind but didn’t see any.
Lose the put on pommy accent. You’re an Aussie mate, be yourself.
I'm a citizen of both countries and have lived in the UK for nearly 8 years... of course things are going to change and evolve!
