Cheers Lester! It has blown up a bit for me, I had 1400 subs at the start of the year and most of my videos struggled to get 1000 views in a week. I’m happy with how it’s going so far. Just got to keep making content.
Harry Sidgwick I'd literally rather rewatch these vids over and over then suffer another spearfishing x DnB montage.. why can't everyone narrate lol. Gz on first place Dan 👏🏽
To use your own words, "world class". I've watched almost every one of your videos over the last two days and have loved every minute. Keep doin you homie
My dad was fishing in greece once, and he saw what he thought mustve been a flat fish, but he told me it was the biggest fish he had ever seen. When he went back down for the kill (he was 18m he couldnt stay down too long) he chased after it and the worst happened. He ran out of breath but he was able to make it to the top. A few days later he went back down to see if there was anything else to catch, this time at 20m. He found the largest octopus he had seen in his life. The tentacles were at least a foot and a half long. He shot it with the spear gun so it couldnt get away, and when he went to grab it, the thing latched onto the rock it was on... And my dad's hand... He was able to get his knife out and he cut its eyes and and tentacles, making the octopus release him. BUT, on his way back up he encountered an eel that was a myth on that island. It was 300 years old, and it was humongus. My dad shat himself so many times that week, but this was where he truly thought he was done for. In greece, there is a saying, that wherever there is a big octopus, there is an eel. So my dad was on the look out for eels since this wasnt the first time he had seen an eel coming toward him. Well this eel was coming straight for the octopus which was hanging from my dads belt, IN FRONT OF HIS PRIVATE PARTS. My dad didnt have his spear gun ready and neither his knife and lucky for him that eel only took the octopus. My dad literally lost all his gear that day. But man is Carpanthos a strange island
I used to spearfish in Florida when i was a young man now I'm in my 40ds and because of your videos I've got the bug to start again. Unfortunately i now live in iowa and landlocked no ocean but we can take rough fish in freshwater. Cap, drum , bowfin. So that's my plan. This summer. All thanks to you and your channel.
What a superb video, just the right ratio of fishing and behind the scenes at the competition itself. I am a bit jealous of being able to spear cod fish in water that shallow and with that visibility.
Congratulations on the first place !! Nice shot placements other than the one cod 😅. No drama in the weigh in like the one in Greece. Thank you for another amazing video !! Keep them coming.
Wow well done dan I love this video i watch this video 10 time and never get bored to watch it well done again buddy love your video mate keep at it 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can’t wait to see your next videos buddy your awesome you and jpk will make a great team buddy love everything about you the way you explain from 0 to 10 I will definitely give a fat big 10 mate well done no joke am literally obsessed with ur videos mate ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏🔥
im also in the UK and im looking to get started as soon as possible, watching all ur vids makes me just wanna jump in even quicker lol,. a very late congrats on the win and all the best
Gary Wilkes thanks mate! I had a few fails on the settings of my GoPro which is why the out of water stuff is all blown out white but other than that a good trip.
I know this is an old video but wow was so cool to watch, and the end was hilarious seeing how happy and involved everyone was, great sportsmanship and great win. An inspiration 😁
absolutely amazing video yet again! love your work please keep it up! your videos draw me into another dimension and the narration makes it feel like i was actually there! also congratulations dude
What amazing clips, efforts and skills on your part.. Totally amazing Dude.. and you shared all of this, with all of us, most of whom you don't even know.. Can't thank you enough.. and pls. keep them coming.. And ofcourse: Congratulations..!! Ashraf
@@DanielMann Anytime dude.. I'm dead hungry and should've started cookjng 4 hours ago.. but I'm still hooked on watching your vidx.. God forgive you mate.. 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing vlog....concept is very interesting esp for people like me who cannot experience same as his...and never been into diff places and underwater that much! Thanks for sharing the experience!
Fantástic experience and so nice guys. Quality organización. Migrating to Malmo in a month from Mayorca. Got to buy a battery heated wet suit!! Thank you for sharing Daniel man!
Bro... If you won the competition add this in the title and this will attract more viewers...amazing channel and videos... Makes me want to do spearfishing too... Will really give it a shot soon hopefully
Daniel Mann haha yeah I’m a spearo from WA and I just stumbled upon your channel and few days ago and have been watching all the videos I love what your doing man keep it up
Daniel you cracked me up @10:40 "they're just on the bottom...they're asleep"!! At 6* water temp, you're basically shooting at frozen fish sticks! Just drop down and coat them with breadcrumbs. I have some 5mm gloves for lobster in California, and those damn things feel like wearing baseball gloves or oven mitts...I can't imagine 7mm. At 6*, how can you even move your mouth? Mine would be too numb to make words come out of it...
You are your biggest inspiration for me. 😊 Great video! what time of year was that? Is it true that the Spearfish wetsuits are openly porous /open cell and therefore colder than normal dive semi dry suits? I want to buy a warm new one….
Jagdkrone this was in May. Spearfishing suits are warmer than traditional wetsuits. Dry suits are obviously warmer but don’t lend themselves to freediving at all.
Wow win the competition and don't put it as a click bait. What a example humility and good heart. +respect
Cheers Reynaldo, it would ruin the story if you already knew the ending 😊
So awesome
Much respect, and congrats!!!
@@copticsceptic Thank yous sir.
Yeah good on ya for this one and congrats on the win

you're right, i subbed
Daniel Mann I’ve only just discovered your channel. Keep up the good work. If your in Townsville QLD hit me up and we shall head out to the Reef
Finally the channel I've been looking for one that includes spearfishing and vlogging and has talking as well as fishing love it keep it up
Harry Sidgwick thanks mate!
Harry Sidgwick I'd literally rather rewatch these vids over and over then suffer another spearfishing x DnB montage.. why can't everyone narrate lol. Gz on first place Dan 👏🏽
Cheers Dash! I'll keep trying to add more content soon.
To use your own words, "world class". I've watched almost every one of your videos over the last two days and have loved every minute. Keep doin you homie
Cheers Oscar!
Truly amazing video.I actually felt like I was part of the competition couldn’t stop laughing at all the great humility and spirit.
I wished there were a few more like buttons I could press. What a lovely, event with everyone so joyous. Great job on winning!
Thank you!
Best one yet mate well done, really can feel the stoke come through at the end, great vid!
Cheers Taka or Jess!
This is literally the 6th or 7th time i watch this videos from the time daniel uploaded it ,amazing

I have no words
Cárpathos is one of the greek islands that you can be Alone at a beach in mid august!!.............if the strong wind lets you!!
Wow amazing, i need some of these eels in lebanon 😉
Does the 300yr old eel have a name? If not, I vote we name it Kratos.
i have to admit , i still watch most of your vids acouple of times... but this one is truly awesome.
I used to spearfish in Florida when i was a young man now I'm in my 40ds and because of your videos I've got the bug to start again.

Stoked to hear you have got the fire again James, go get ‘em!
What a competition! Looked like one hell of a memorable moment
Amazing moment for me and some incredible individuals.
So wholesome. You make the best spearfishing videos. Never stop you legend!
What a superb video, just the right ratio of fishing and behind the scenes at the competition itself. I am a bit jealous of being able to spear cod fish in water that shallow and with that visibility.
That must have been one experience you won't soon forget. Great job man
Definitely not, was incredible!
This was so wholesome, watched for the 2nd time
Congratulations on the first place !! Nice shot placements other than the one cod 😅. No drama in the weigh in like the one in Greece. Thank you for another amazing video !! Keep them coming.

Fantástic experience and so nice guys.
Quality organización.
Migrating to Malmo in a month from Mayorca.
Got to buy a battery heated wet suit!!
Thank you for sharing Daniel man!
That will be a big change form Majorca! No spearfishing in Malmö as it is forbidden in Sweden but just across in Denmark is very nice.
Thank you Daniel!
fantastic vid mate, congrats on the win ! So much stoke at the end there 😊
Cheers Kane, was smiling about it for days.
I'm grinning like a Cheshire cat that's just OD'd on cream - and I'm not a spearo. What a great video !
Appreciate that mate 🙏🏻
It felt like I'm the one who won the competition. I could really feel the hype. Well done mate.
Thanks man! One of the highlights of my career thus far. Glad you enjoyed it.

Excellent stuff Dan, great Vid..... and I thought you hated cold water.

so good!!
Amazing job mate, keep it up
Great video . !!!

That was wholesome
Great vid, it was a nice event!
Suomi pevkele

Bro... If you won the competition add this in the title and this will attract more viewers...amazing channel and videos... Makes me want to do spearfishing too... Will really give it a shot soon hopefully
That would ruin the surprise 🙂
You look like Matt Damon with long hair
You’re definitely not the first person to say that on this channel 😂
Daniel Mann haha yeah I’m a spearo from WA and I just stumbled upon your channel and few days ago and have been watching all the videos I love what your doing man keep it up
Cheers Kegan! Loads of good content coming from WA also - I would love to get over there one day.
Daniel Mann yeah no problem
Oh by the way, BIG BIG RESPECT For ANZAC day!
Dig in cobbers!
Amazing run, I just got into spearfishing, and im from Rome as well, would be' great to meet Giuliano and dive with him and maybe learn a couple tips😂
Congrats on that win or should I say post grants because only just seen this video, excellent, this video is a great promotion for the comp. thank you
Awesome vid
Daniel you cracked me up @10:40 "they're just on the bottom...they're asleep"!!
At 6* water temp, you're basically shooting at frozen fish sticks! Just drop down and coat them with breadcrumbs.

I assure you fish at 6°C can get up and boogie just like tropical fish. Have a look at some of the halibut videos...
Good job.
You are your biggest inspiration for me. 😊 Great video! what time of year was that?
Is it true that the Spearfish wetsuits are openly porous /open cell and therefore colder than normal dive semi dry suits?
I want to buy a warm new one….
Jagdkrone this was in May. Spearfishing suits are warmer than traditional wetsuits. Dry suits are obviously warmer but don’t lend themselves to freediving at all.
Daniel, it was interesting to see!
stunning video, you can visit our island Tuvalu in the Pacific and find out the best fish and size you can hope for.
I visited Tonga a few years ago and I can imagine it being similarly stunning 👌
ive always wondered whT THAT WAS WHEN FLYING IN AND OUT OF COPENHAGEN
well done mate
Cheers Lance!
Right on...
Congratulations
Thanks man!
awesome :D super video. make one just want to go out!! funny dudes ^^
Lovely spirit
Cheers!
