Spearfishing by Dan Silveira. Visit my website at: www.SpearfishingisNotaCrime.com
This is an epic video shot entirely by breath hold. You will enjoy seeing my friends Tom Fiene, Joe Sarapochillo, Barry Krupp, and I spear some HUGE yellowfin tuna up to 190 pounds, Sailfish up to 115 pounds, massive rooster fish, amberjack and more. Spearfishing is one of the most selective forms of fishing. Viewer discretion may be advised to animal lovers. This video is not to be used, copied or reproduced in any way without permission. Music credit to: Tool, 311, and Klaus Badelt.

  • You have some great videos Dan. I noticed you have reflectors on your fins. Is there a special purpose for this?

  • @awlyons2 , reflective stickers on my fins are to attract predators. Hopefully only big fish, but sometimes sharks also. ;-)

  • 3:00 -

    who plays this music?

  • @Januszcisienski1970 , the song at 3:00 is by a band called "311"

  • KingFishGuy,

    I am not sure about your finicky taste buds, by my mouth says YUM to all the fish except the first jack which had some type of funky growth on it. That is why I speared it. I did not want the other fish to get infected by it when it dies and gets eaten. If you count the number of fish taken in this video it does not amount to much considering the thousands of dollars I spent to catch them. And finally as a side note - Catch and Release is not always successful. I CATCH WHAT I EAT!

  • c0rew, The blood can attract sharks, but the areas we dive do not have high numbers of sharks, so we are not concerned about it. When I dive around sharks, I am quick to get the fish into the boat and I always have a safety diver with a loaded speargun nearby for safety while I am landing the fish.

  • More sailfish die because of Hook and Line fisherman than because of spearing. Releasing a fish from H&L doesn't mean 0% mortality.

    So relax, sit back, and enjoy watching an extremely difficult achievement by an obviously talented diver.

    Fishing and Spearfishing are kindred spirits, there is zero reason for hostility towards our sport. We do the same thing, using different methods.

    Spearfishing also maintains the lowest bycatch of any fishing method. We too are conscience of the fisheries.

  • come on dude.. Jaws is fake.. Sharks are overhyped

see all
