megaMrCools - It is not illegal to spear lobster in the bahamas.
wwunderful - Original Billy Rocker is not wrong. It is not illegal to shoot nassau grouper. The ban was lifted years ago. There is a season for fishing nassau grouper and is only illegal if the fishing of the nassau grouper is out of season.
To the one who asked, the song appears to be ROOTS OF CREATION by Brad Knowles/ Sublime - somewhat obscure. Listen to the lyric. These guys must be quite environmentally conscious.
Also, does anyone watch Rick Murphy fishing shows? is that guy in this video the one who takes Rick Murphy on the Bahamas (Tuna & Dolphin) Shows? Big supporter of environmental conservation if it is. Best to not throw stones.
Love the comments on this page - keep them coming, EVERYONE. Let's keep our oceans thriving.
Upbrownie22 needs to know the facts. Bahamian citizens and Legal residences have different fishing laws to abide by than visitors. Besides, it's not nice to call people Dumbass, DAMBASS!!!
Before one makes any judgement about what any of these guys are doing here, they should spend time in Bahamas and at the National Trust even - Then learn why the local free divers pose no threat to the ecology of the Bahamas. Note that spearing is legal only when free diving in the Bahamas.
Good video and music selection. I love my GoPro. Check out my videos on yourtube too as I wear my Go Pro on my head for hand free filming. Also have video on vimeo titled Key West Adventure 2010.
Sea Creatures wont run out you idiots! This earths been around for a long time! there are literally millions of lobsters and fishes in the sea to KICK BACK and let the GOOD TIMES ROLL!!
heyy bud dont listen to all those dumbasses good job and just to asy to you all that say its not good to shoot them IT IS TOTALLY AND UTTERALLY LEGAL TO SHOOT A LOBSTER IN THE BAHAMAS WITH A HAWIAN SLING AND OR POLE SPEAR learn your shit before you critisize
legalizing spearing would destroy their numbers. They would have no chance. looks like u are the truly ignorant one mr. burgandy, you know nothing about marine ecology, intricacies of lobster habitat, or commercial fishing for that matter. keep your hateful comments to yourself. there are rules set in place for a reason
I am completely clueless about spearing lobsters. But can I know why it is bad for the lobster population if one spears them? Is it because there would be too many people spearing them? Really curious!
@joshsiow it is very easy and if more did it then their number would crash. The lower threshold number for spiny lobster could be 25 lobster or 2000 lobster, once you go below that level the population cannot recover. Habitat degradation is also a major concern due to tourists, so attracting more tourists bu legalizing this and destroying lobsters in the area....... you tell me what is wrong about this picture.....
legalizing spearing of lobster would deplete the populations very much. It would be too easy for the average person to catch them and what if you shoot a juvenile? just throw them back dead? or keep them undersized? Commercial fisherman go offshore to harvest their catch, individuals harvest more near shore, where lobsters breed, in their sanctuaries.....
Do you really think recreational lobster fisheman using a spear to catch lobster is going to deplete their poulation......then you are truely ignorant. There is this thing called commercial fishing. That is the only reason lobster and fish numbers are depleting

Using spears to catch lobster is like shooting fishes in a barrel... will deplete the species very soon.
