Talk about the adventure of a lifetime - living your dreams with your eyes wide open Daniel. Better still you are making video masterpieces along the way. You had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through, cheering you and your mates on. Brilliant trip, mind-blowing location, incredible fish handled respectfully, and a fantastic group of mates. I don't know how you do this - but every video gets better. Better technically & superbly-crafted stories. Can't believe this is not an adventure channel on Netflix.
Hey Dan, I spearfish over here in Washington USA. It’s cold here too. I’m trying to figure out what the little vests some of your buddies are wearing are for? Extra warmth or???
Trailer Yacht Daniels narration and great voice bring his story telling to a level of relaxation and enjoyment unequalled with this type of video, loving joining his adventures and sharing with my family
Very well done!!!! Amazing show!!! Any DeerMeatForDinner fans on here? Who thinks I need to catch up with these legends and try my luck with a monster HALIBUT in Norway???
nice going. was a naval diver in Norway for 11 yrs. in the 80's. never approach a flatfish directly from behind or front -- then you'll spook them. Approach from side and fake passing. I used only a 6 ft sling back in the days...everything went down. happy hunting
Hey man, just wanted to say that I am an ‘aspiring’ spear fisherman, and I am 14. You’re videos are so awesome to watch and I just would like to let you know that people appreciate things like this. It’s clear that you put heaps of time into these videos and they inspire me to spearfish. Thanks
Daniel that was awesome wow what a fishing Expedition that was I'm going to watch that again that whole Adventure what's exciting fun to watch great job beautiful video
Man, when I first started watching your vids I didn’t quite get the excitement at first. But the underwater footage doesn’t do justice to how big these things are when you see them in the boat!
I MUST COMMENT !... I've been a diver since 1972 ( U.S. Navy )... did recreational diving 'til I was 47 all over Hawaii & California and I chased big Halibut in the sand flats along the Santa Barbara Chanel Islands, White Seabass in the kelp off Palos Verde cliffs and your video is the best Diving/Spearfishing video yet......AWESOME .... I know COLD and it looked COLD but the thrill of the chase......... PRICELESS ! ........ CONGRATULATIONS on a great Dive Adventure !
Thanks for the kind words Robert. I made another video about the trip before this looking for halibut which featured some bigger fish but not quite as cold.
Wow Daniel that's awesome spearing. Giuliano Tagliacozzo was the iceing on the cake I think. He is so funny. Usual cheerful Italian guy, always a pleasure for all 😅😉👍ciao ciao
I watching this thinking about my youth and realizing I want to do this stuff. I didnt have the money when younger and now dont have the body. Proud of you guys for doing this well you can. Jealous for sure. Great video.
Amazing stuffs mate, im a shore angler but i do love watching spearfishing videos and come across to your channel about week ago and love them, some amazing contents, it amazes me how not many followers on your channel, i suppose people only dream of what you actually living in so they dont even try to subscribe :) keep up the good work bud and hopefully i get to do this brilliant sport before i die :) in anglers term tight lines mate
Can't tell you how good these vids are! I was excited watching this! Some good laughs, halibuuuut! Stoked for josh too gettin a ripper fish at the 11th hour, woulda made it all the more special! Awesome, awesome stuff!
@@DanielMann Ahhh dang, sorry to hear that. What a bummer. Because of this video, I am trying to convince some other dive buddies to freeze their butts off with me for some Halibut!
Now i want to go out and look for halibut but it is -2c° where i live in norway and my wetsuit is only 6,5mm thick. I think im going to stay inside.. 😂
I had 7.5mm Forza tre pants and the 9.5mm jacket is straight smooth skin so super comfortable and oh so warm. I checked the 5kg weight vest in with one of my bags and just took 5kg of weights in my belt carry in. Norwegian Air and SAS have no problems with dive weights I’ve found. More interested in the plethora of camera equipment I’m usually taking.
@@DanielMann Thank you. Did you dive last year with a 5.5mm? A friend went to Guadeloupe and he had to leave his weights behind as they would not allow them on the plane. I heard some times elsewhere there are problems with individual weights more than 2 lbs / 1 kg. Anyway I'd love to go back to Norway and this time spearfish. Is it very pricey? it is one of the most beautiful places I have been to.
No way I’d use a 5.5mm in Norway. I rarely use my 5.5mm in the U.K. either. I had a 7.5mm jacket. 1.5mm undervest and 6.5mm pants last year. Was 10-12 degrees but the air temp was mid teens so not so bad. Was borderline. I’d go thicker, it’s always going to be cold there. This trip was circa £1K from the U.K. with flights, accommodation, car hire, boat hire, car fuel, boat fuel and food which we brought from the U.K. and Italy.
Best one yet mate, congrats to all on the fish. Captured the feeling of the trip perfectly and the stoke after all the hard work, nothing beats it! Well done!
Poddy! Hope WA is treating you well. Still remember editing your footage for SDM back in the day... if of course this is the same Nathan Podmore I’m thinking of.
@@DanielMann sure is mate - hahaha miss the countdown to grabbing the latest SDM off the shelf , such epic footage all the time , and the editing ;) hope your doing well over there mate
You had my thumbs up at jumping in the water. The cold...cooooooolllld water. The rest of the video could be trash as I resume play but I'm still subscribing. OK... Just finished the video so I'm making this edit.... This this video was so easy to watch. No distractions and no hype... Just fishing and Bros.
Thanks man, you should also check out the channel ‘Underwater Ally Adventures’. They make great content and their last video on kingfish was pretty awesome.
Jesus Christ that’s incredible. I need to spear a haliboot in 2019. I love seeing this cold water content, by the way. So many spearing videos (most?) are in tropical waters where I’ll rarely be, but this is right up my alley. Thanks for the inspiration.
All spearfishing is good spearfishing in my books. Every situation and locations has its various challenges and I love trying to adapt to them. You should definitely go and do it, have a punt.
Sat in my house in the Philippines with my new Cressi Sioux on full lockdown watching your fantastic channel, feeling highly frustrated that we can’t go to the beech !!! Just starting out mate and found your channel, it’s awesome. Stay safe Bro ✌🏽🎣
I watched the entire video with great interest, and I'd love doing such an experience once in a lifetime. I would only hunt for one big halibut though, provided that you feed an entire family for one month with it!
enhorabuena excelente vídeo, lástima no entender el inglés, pero el texto con "traductor" perfecto, condiciones muy duras de frio, las aguas excelentes y el premio da envidia
Your best video yet! Beautiful water, big fish, good friends and great food. I have to say you’re too kind to your mate that couldn’t harvest a big halibut. On our boat, we would have been trash talking and questioning his manhood 😂😂😂 its all good on an epic adventure like this. Congratulations again on an excellent video and a lifetime memory ✅💪
Good video, I was cheering for last guy to get a hallibut so much!! Its like a hollywood movie with a great ending :)) looks like you have a great company of men :)
Cheers Dimos! You’ve been pumping out the videos lately, I need to catch up 😂 Seabass on the polespear was epic. Maybe you could go for the world record halibut in polespear?
Daniel Mann hopefully in the next week or so .... just got back from a quick trip with a cyclone threat so looking forward to putting it together once I have time ... hasn’t got much Spearfishing in it due to the conditions and crazy weather but it’s a bit of mixed bag... found an amazing freshwater waterfall on an island.... do many people spear halibut where you guys went? Would love to put that place on my bucket list one day 😊
I'm your big fan! been watching your videos for a while, learned a lot, and got a bit better at spearfishing ( in AU). Man you got so many big fish! Looking forward for your next video!
@@DanielMann mostly Sydney area, but i do travel a bit for good spots. Just got back from Batesmans bay,It was great. Me and my buddy are considering to go up north and try to hunt for different spices.
Me and my dad Where out fishin. I live in norway all The way up in The nothern spot. We caught a halibut that was around 112 kg. We had to pull it up with a gravene on land. Thats one of The best fishing experiences i have ever had. Nice halibut u got!

Hey Dan, I spearfish over here in Washington USA. It’s cold here too. I’m trying to figure out what the little vests some of your buddies are wearing are for? Extra warmth or???
Hey Tim they are weight vests to hold extra lead due to the really thick wetsuits.
Trailer Yacht Daniels narration and great voice bring his story telling to a level of relaxation and enjoyment unequalled with this type of video, loving joining his adventures and sharing with my family
Great video, really fun to watch!
Very well done!!!! Amazing show!!!
Any DeerMeatForDinner fans on here? Who thinks I need to catch up with these legends and try my luck with a monster HALIBUT in Norway???
Thanks mate! Come on over in the fall 🍂
Yes 🙌
you should do it
DeerMeatForDinner, the PNW is home to some good spearfishing as well. Get after it!

I didn't understand how big those fish where tillyou got that thing in the boat awesome fish
And they taste anmazing!

I think youngbloods is better tho 😔
M g Why does everyone have to compare fishing channels? Can’t they both be different and equally as good?
@@moishe3591 youngblood too much over acting
I’m reading this 3 years after you posted it, but I hope you followed that aspiration!
I hope your still at it 3 years later
I must have watched this a thousand times already, but it just never gets old! One of my favorite spearfishing videos ever
I'm going to name my first born son 'Halibut" in honour of this video! Brilliant as always mate.
Kveite is the Norwegian name, might be a bit more subtle :-)
Love that you went back. I watched the first video and didn't know that you went back. Big ups to such a successful trip!
Cheers Nathan! The one time the sequel was better than the original!
Daniel that was awesome wow what a fishing Expedition that was I'm going to watch that again that whole Adventure what's exciting fun to watch great job beautiful video
Can’t tell you how excited I was to see this pop up in my feed. It didn’t disappoint! Thanks for taking us along on the adventure.
Glad you liked it Kyle 🙏🏻
Watching this video from a filthy carpark in the west of Sydney frothing 🤤
I hate when People are spearfishing!
@@loveruoo1307 then fuck of mate.
Loveruoo 1 I hate when people go to fishing vlogs and bitch about it.
@@loveruoo1307 as a fellow anime fan I'm ashamed of you. I like it when people hate people who hate spearfishing

Man, when I first started watching your vids I didn’t quite get the excitement at first. But the underwater footage doesn’t do justice to how big these things are when you see them in the boat!
Been waiting for this vid!!!!!! Better than I hoped for.
You bring back wonderful memories of youth and spearing California barn door halibut!
"I'm waiting for a fat baccalá" made me laugh so hard.
Greetings from Italy!
Haha every day with Giuliano makes me laugh 😬
Finaly... it here, tanks for making almost 30 min video from Norway!!! This took allot og work, but it is so good, I Love it!!!
Magnificent content as usual, I hope your channel will be massively successful next year
Cheers for the support Jack!
Probably the best spearfishing video I've ever seen. Just brilliant. Very well done.
Cheers!
*gordon enters the chat*
THE FISH IS RAAAAAAW!
You know... probably 3rd time watching it v over a few years now, but the whole Haaallibuuuut... haaallibuut...! Never gets old.
🤣
Loved the vid I remember when your channel was at 10k subs look how far you’ve came. I requested this vid before happy you made it
I MUST COMMENT !...

Thanks for the kind words Robert. I made another video about the trip before this looking for halibut which featured some bigger fish but not quite as cold.
I can feel such immense energy when he screams "Halibut!" Lol makes me want to go spearfish much more now...
Hats off Daniel. Good job. Way to chase your dream fish and get it in the boat. No fish were mistreated. As humane as possible. Another great video
Wow Daniel that's awesome spearing. Giuliano Tagliacozzo was the iceing on the cake I think. He is so funny. Usual cheerful Italian guy, always a pleasure for all 😅😉👍ciao ciao
He is always so positive and has a fantastic outlook on life and spearfishing. Very honoured to have him on the trip with us.
I watching this thinking about my youth and realizing I want to do this stuff. I didnt have the money when younger and now dont have the body. Proud of you guys for doing this well you can. Jealous for sure. Great video.
Great quality vid Dan. I plan to be in Norway sometime late next year (2019) chasing one of those brutes. It is like watching a 'how to' video.
Nice. Very Nice. Looks like a GREAT time. Great frustration frequently brings Great reward & satisfaction. Well Done Guys.
It made it all the more sweet after not getting one the year before.
I saw your first halibut video and was so excited when you caught the monster in this one! Congrats on the beautiful spear 🥳
what a beautiful place... what a beautiful experience... thanks for the hard work in documenting this adventure..
Thanks Joe

Cheers man!
I used to hunt all flat fish with just a hand spear. This was in the sixties and seventies but I have never seen a large Halibut when diving.
I get goosebumps just looking at this ....
Great fish, awesome food.
I want virtual reality for my taste buds now!
3:07 “oh my god it’s Jason born”
these are some of the best spear vids ive watched , hard work . big hi from sydney australia , love your work , really enjoyed watching
That's awesome, didn't know Matt Damon went spearfishing!!
ravenfan1606 😈😈
Right?! He looks him.
Awesome Video!! The coloring of Halibut is so beautiful and amazingly camouflaged!!
Me: Why did I come here?
Dan: You came for the haliboout.
Top marks for a incredible video!
What an epic trip. I have rewatched this video at least 10x in the past month.
HAAALLIIIBOOOOOOOOOT another Halibut video!
I was supposed to be in Norway this week on another trip but alas. One day, I hope soon!
@@DanielMann Ahhh dang, sorry to hear that. What a bummer. Because of this video, I am trying to convince some other dive buddies to freeze their butts off with me for some Halibut!

-2 is not so tropical. I had a 9.5mm jacket, kept me toasty in the water.
@@DanielMann did you have 7 mm pants? How did it feel in 9.5 mm? How do you carry the weights on the plane? Do you have to pay overweight fees?

Carrying halibut surfboard style - love it! Awesome video mate, one of the best spearing vids I've seen
I am freezing cold now from just watching you guys spearfishing in that water. Great video though! 👍
Epic........what a great film boys.........well done.

Always thought spearfishing videos need more commentary. So glad I've found this channel
Thanks man, you should also check out the channel ‘Underwater Ally Adventures’. They make great content and their last video on kingfish was pretty awesome.
This is life! Congratulations from South Australia！
dude i dont even know what im watching yet but as soon as you yelled HALIBUT I gave the vid a thumbs up haha
Congrats dan all that work finally paid of, HALIBUTE !!!!! ( love the new intro ) keep it up
Thanks Liam, very Guy Ritchie inspired with that title sequence.
bruh,that's a very unique video, that's something people want to watch, a story , not only a video of man spearing a fish. well done!
Cheers Mohamed! I try and do all my videos with a story not just dead fish.
I have waited since September to see this video and it was worth the wait!!! Great video Daniel!
On-Ya Dan, congratulations on the Halibut.
Thanks for taking the effort to make the Video and posting it up.
Thanks Gordy, merry Christmas mate.

great work Daniel, very nice catch man(n)...now chase bigger dreams
Honestly mate, you do some of the best spearfishing videos I've seen it just gets me so keen to get in the water.
Thanks Jack, I really appreciate the feedback 👌
Finally some original species of spear fishing in a nut shrinking latitude. Nice work
Cheers Roger!
You guys are amazing and the real one... spearfishing in a frigid water so cold but still you can dive and shoot a halibut.
"was that your fart"........ha ha ha ha,blimey they spook easy.Great vid as per usual.merry xmas
The smell was horrendous I knew it couldn’t be just the wetsuits. Sometimes they spook sometimes they don’t. Not easy that’s for sure.
Absolutely awesome mate and probably one of your best yet ... loved it and thanks for sharing 👌
Thanks mate, when’s your next video coming out?
Daniel Mann hopefully in the next week or so .... just got back from a quick trip with a cyclone threat so looking forward to putting it together once I have time ... hasn’t got much Spearfishing in it due to the conditions and crazy weather but it’s a bit of mixed bag... found an amazing freshwater waterfall on an island.... do many people spear halibut where you guys went?

Just letting you know my latest video is out mate
