Every chance I get, I shoot a seal or at a seal.......they're everywhere........never planned on actually hauling one in but it may provide some kind of deterrence for the next guy out there.......
Long Anwser:The gills are ripped out to preserve the best quality fish as possible. We only spear what we will eat and do everything to maximize quality of the meat, so we rip out the gills to bleed out the fish making the meat whiter and less fishy tasting.
you got a high definition camera there! cool vid! by the way, werent you afraid that there might be sharks or whales in that area because a seal was spotted?
LOL on the lost gear... Something like that happened to me but I lost the whole gun, shaft and float line... A Riffe teak gun... No doubt... Shit happens in our sport!!
Thanks for sharing... Cool video and great fishing!!
Yeah baby rip out those gills! Looks like a beautiful day under the sea. Good fishing!! I would murder to go on a trip like that. Alaskan water is a bit chilly but some of the halibut I hooked into towed the boat around. A fish like that would surely take you to the bottom. Nice vid
nice video man both the camera quality is superb man props and music hits a nice quiet deep blue sea impact man truly amazing big props and the location southern california cortez bank man thats were i want to spear fish next whats the first and the second artist names big props bro
Although perhaps a little gruesome, ripping the gills out is done to immediately bleed the fish out to obtain the best quality or grade of fish. It is a common practice that makes the fish quality much better and removes many toxins that are contained in the blood which later absorb into the meat.
The same is done with any sushi grade fish you may buy although they take a long piece of wire and run it down the fishes spinal cord, severing nerve endings.
This video is just amazing. I am Greek and love spearfishing but at the moment I live in London and can't do it so I just can't wait for 2 more months to pass then I am going back home and Jumping in the sea...GREAT VIDEO YOU GUYS AWESOME FUN...
yup, aside of getting lost at sea, run over by a boat, dragged by current, get bitten by a shark, killed by a SWB, get entangled with the float line, get a cardio arrest due to the effort and drowned by cramps, the sport is for sissies!!
Don't worry about guys that hate spear fishing, it's their problem.
I know a guy that bags on spear fishing but got so nervous when we took him he wouldn't get out the boat. He's still my mate and it doesn't bother me.
I prefer to kill my fish than drag them out of the water and throw them in a bucket of ice but I like line fishing too.
I had pretty much the same thing happen to me when I shot my first Yellow Tail. (kingfish, as we call them here in NZ)I had it on the surface and I was reaching for my knife wile holding on to its tail with one hand, (big mistake!) it didn't seem to like that! pretty much the same thing as in the video, it thrashed its tail hard and got out of my grip and swam away, except i wasn't using a slip tip so the flopper had folded back down and the fish got away :(
Wow from your extremely mature comment I think in order to avoid being a "fag" I will hereby never kill a fish with a spear again...instead I will just buy fish from the store, which in turn supports commercial fishing which is internationally raping the ocean and produces a high level of bycatch compared to spearfishing which produces ZERO bycatch and allows an individual to select a few good eating fish for dinner. So before you go slandering my videos again why dont u do some research first.
