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.

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. ;-)

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.
