Dan you dropped down in the middle of a scamp meeting. If you had thirty minutes of bottom time you would have needed a crane to get them on the deck. Great video brother I enjoyed the heck out of it
@@anthonynewton289 you do like to argue. I don’t. Since we can’t meet face to face and discuss this the way grown men do this is done. Assuming you are a grown man
Why, because most of them are Freedivers that don't use scuba tanks and complain commenting "In my state Scuba tanks are illegal, scuba tanks makes everything easy or even say "Thats not a sport".
@@pajino7116 Back at 2013, Hawaii (Honolulu) banned scuba diving in the west because of exploit marine resources using scuba diving equipment. This was a long time ago though.
Where in the world can you spear fish with air tanks on. Its just a slaughter. It was banned 30yrs ago in Australia. Also Grouper are a protected species here because they are to easy to catch with a spear gun.
They’re 200+ feet down and commercial fishing, go ahead and try that free diving. They’re fishing for a living, not for sport. Australia is a communist country, their laws are awful. I’d rather burn alive than live in such a shit country, where you can have the police bash down your door for posting about a party during covid.
@@briananderson1141 Try free diving spearfishing, as all of us do. We care for the future, we don't wipe out all the fish in one dive so. We do sustainable hunting. Scuba gear during spearfishing doesn't conclude to anything sustainable.
@@Spyros_Mazarakis Who is "all of us"? Have you ever been on a dive with me spearfishing? Where did you get the data that SCUBA Spearfishers kill everything in sight? Do you realize that there are bag limits on sport fish for a reason? If those bag limits are met by every person with a license, the fish as a whole will still survive. Did you know that we humans are a part of the ecosystem. Does your country even have a wildlife conservation program?

Dan McMahon ! I just can't help but respond to those haters... nothing but paperweights those ( probably the same folks behind lab-grown meat 😂 )...My hat is totally off to you and your crew ! You guys make a living in a way that any REAL man would would proud of !! I've busted my ass (in a different industry) all my life to earn my take. You guys risk your lives to put a meal in front of someone whose only real concern is how much to tip the waitstaff or if they're gonna get laid for buying their significant other an expensive meal. In my book, you and the guys you work with have balls of titanium ! Get a huge kick outta your vids !!! Be safe out there 👍
Time is money and money is pounds of fish. Just think of the tangled up mess you would have with a tethered spear. Of course stoning fish with head shots is the secret to success. Great video Dan!
"...Hey what's going on over there, ...don't know. Let's go check it out"! Nice eye-ball release at 8:10! If you ever need a chef on-board to keep you nourished, let me know!
Someone put a Thumbs Down for this video 🤔🙄. Not sure what their problem was with the video but Dan is a Machine when he hits the water. Cool, Calm, Professional. Maybe this person dosen't understand what Dan and the crew do for a living. These guys live to Dive and put food in customers stomachs, very dangerous at those depths. DAN God Bless you and the Crew, Families. Keep these videos coming brother.
I don't understand people who enjoyed the video, in my country spearfishing with oxygen is illegal, even its legal in some other countries but I see no Fun .
Your taking it to a new level with spearing and filming. Thanks for allowing us to dive with you. Im a free diver and speared all over the wourld but you can out shoot me any day at any depth.... spay safe brother......... Live free or die
Not hard to out do someone spearing when you got an air tank on your back , my grandma could do that with a tank too, free dive and do it that’s a game changer
You get better with practice but most Free divers do not concentrate on killing the fish outright because of the line attached . Dan has to either kill the fish outright or damage it enough so that it will not get away with your spear . Having a line attached is troublesome when you are spearing around wreckage because of wires and doors that a fish can go thru , and you have to untangle that to get your spear free to get the fish .
Beautiful video makes me want to and try my own hand at it. The vibes, wakes my instinct I wanna go, setup a playlist with *Metallica* One and *Delta Parole* Wasted and go off into my own world right this moment.
Great content but honestly don’t like to see that many grouper taken off of 1 reef especially after you said it was a high pressured spot (even within daily bag limit). Not hating, just think conservation is the mark of a great sportsman instead of having to “wax them” but I digress. If y’all have an overabundance of them in that area I take it all back!
Ah ah ah ! 😂😂😂 spearfisfing with scuba diving !… the kings of game fair ! 👎👎👎👎👎👎 kill its all !…… and after ? You feed a village or you sell all your fishes ? Shame on you !….
so many people on the boat and no one helping you get in the boat. Or at least watching. I know of a diver that was lost at the boat and died because no one was watching to ensure everyone was safely in the boat.
lol i know the feeling bro.... they come up with a nice stringer full of fish like yeah theres more there man hit it.... but in the back of your head youre like yeah but they bagged all the good ones hahaha.... but ya never know til ya make the dive. turns out these are scamp infested waters lol good stuff as always man thanks for sharing
He also stayed in the one small spot , and when his Buddy ? came by you could see there were still a bunch of Scamp down there in that one small spot . Makes you wonder how many other places down there you could find concentrations of mostly not bothered fish .
Love the old video. I'm just now starting to use a GoPro on my hunts and have not perfected the art of filming or editing. Wish I had video of my last dive a week ago when the bull shark ate 3 grouper and a fish ring in one gulp. I hope he choked on it 🤣
Spearfishing is WITHOUT oxygen tanks. It is a physical/disciplined/respectable sport where you deserve your catch... A philosophy! THIS, is berry-piking in a forest Dan, NOT Spearfishing... And it is rather disturbing to see divers publicly publish such disgraceful act of Poaching... Nothing to be proud of Dan and I personally hope you'll stop.
Dude, that's your culture and laws not his. It's legal where he is and he does it commercially and is licensed. Relax this is a legal and ethical commercial harvest. Much better than big ships dredging reefs for store fish eh?
4202...lol, it's a federally licensed commercial spear fishing boat . Scuba spear fishing is legal and normal in many parts of the world. Good luck to you however you choose to spear fish . Dan
Is there a difference in market price between reds, blacks, gags and scamp? I can only sell lionfish but I'm curious on the economics of the decision to stay in the one spot on this dive.
I commercial fished for 30+ years. Traditional ly prices are low to high, red, gag, then scamp. Dan, I am 67 and have dove since I was 12. Your equipment and skills are impressive.
Completely agree. I work for an automotive OEM that prides itself on process Developement and Dan’s process optimization is exemplary. “Stringer Filler”!
By my count....7 Scamp and a nice Gag.....It appeared to me that those Scamp had no clue as to the danger they were in.....It also looked to me like you didn't have to move 10 feet...I'd say you "waxed " them pretty thoroughly....I kept waiting for the Jewfish who never showed....Great precision shooting....Stay safe...WT
Those scamps are BEAUTIFUL!!! I would have done the same exact thing. I need ALL those scamps. That first big gag you commented on, was he moving too fast and you figured you couldn't catch him?
Awesome vid like usual Dan!!! You are truly a fish slayer bro!!! I’m glad you only have a LIMITED amount of oxygen or else you’d be able to wipe out a whole colony of fish. LOL. Be safe out there brother.
Donde está el mérito utilizando botellas de aire, en conocer el sitio?? Sería meritorio si solo empleas tus pulmones. Y además está la legalidad pues en la mayoría de paises del mundo está prohibido pescar con botellas o compresor.. No veo nada en el video que no pueda hacer cualquiera que sepa bucear.
Hello friend, very good fishing, excellent, I like them a lot and your videos are very good. Please could you tell me what make and model your rubber harpoon is, I really like that multi-arrow system you have. greetings and a big hug from Venezuela.
Really enjoying the vids!! Any chance you could explain some of the gauge readings? I'm not a scuba diver but 199 seems to mean you're ready to get back in the boat. A little bit of text on the vids if you've got the time would really help people like me
That 199 you saw is how much time you could stay at that depth according to the computer , and the 199 is MAX . The lower left number on same screen is the depth you are at now . He keeps checking that number so he knows when to take his next decompression stop .

Always safe brother, and enjoy ❤
Bro! That’s a stringer 🤙🏽
I am a simple man. I see oxygen devices while spearfishing, I dislike
Yes you are simple, SCUBA tanks are filled with air during normal diving, O2 is DEADLY at 30+ feet!
You probably chase down animals you hunt on foot and beat them to death with rocks too. How dare people use the tools we've created to our advantage.

the more you shoot, the more they come out lol !
great dive
Shooting fish in a barrel or pipe in this case!😂 Great adventure to watch! Thanks Dan!
oxygen+spearfishing=prison
Maybe in your pond but not in lots of other places. Thanks for watching. Dan
Can’t get enough of this stuff, great diving men.
like shooting fish in a barrel. A grouper is a grouper, they all weigh and they all pay! Looked like you were having fun.great dive and great video.

Nice video Dan by the way,that little fish wasn't afraid of you 😂😂 sims he was saying ,bring it on
Thank you for allowing all of us to live vicariously through your videos when we can't make it offshore. Be well and God bless.
I hope soon i can received from you a diving equipment even old but good condition,.
Thanks bro, God bless you always
Nice video.....
Nice fishing watching from philippines keefsafe
Damn it scamp is my favorite eating grouper. Them suckers were everywhere! Nice job 👏!
Shooting gallery with them Scamps. I could see some shafts and fish getting lost shooting big gags in that stuff. Nice job .👍

Don't aim your spear to your friend while you pull your rubber.
I've trought it once and alhamdulillah Allah bessing me.

Thank you HYC, glad you're enjoying the videos! Best, Dan
Loved this one man! Thanks for showing all the fish at the end. You SLAYED!
Wow, what patience you have. I would have shot too early on the one scamp at 6:34. Good job!
Good catch dan you get some lovely once 👍🏿
It is ridiculous to fish with a respirator. In my country it is rightly prohibited. If you go to the fish shop they are still, you shoot them better.
Thanks for watching AM....Dan
@@danmacmahon3973 ..just time to realize how good you were. then only sadness, and skip video..
It's not spearfishing if you use oxigen ... You need to free dive whit no oxigen wtf in my country is even illegal.
Like a video game! Thanks, Dan.
Nice catch n also good show brother.
Isn't it illegal to use scuba tanks when going underwater fishing?
It's regulated but legal in the US.
