Missing those shots had me thinking you're human after all but then again maybe you were just missing them to make us mere mortals feel better. I love watching your videos and Joe Pike's. I miss England, I hope I can go back there sooner. Can't wait for the next one.
In my opinion, this is one of your best vids so far. Packed with tips and great clips. So incredible to see you interact with other people that also share the passion for spearfishing and cooking great food! "keep em coming"!
Absolutely love this one like all your other content! Perfect combination out of hunting-action-nature and always some fun and a just having a good time along. Watching your vids always gets me out of daily stress and makes me dreaming of my last and next dives. Keep it up Daniel! :)
Hi @@DanielManncould you please inform us, what series of cressi wetsuit that the chef wear? I am so interested to have that kind of wetsuit, thanks in advance, looking forward for your next youtube content
Always looking forward to the episodes, and each one is better than the last. Great seeing two great channels diving together more and more as well! Now the trifecta would be Joe, Dan and WetMammel!
@@DanielMann now that would be a great episode or few!! I’ve been wanting to get a nice barramundi or blue bone for sure. I like the rugged aspect of camping and spearfishing to cook over a fire, simple fun and enjoying the peace!
FINALLY! Someone that hates shallow weed stalking as much as me. Excellent video. Really made my fish dinners look prehistoric, cant wait for the next one
Oh man... I wish our purple hinge rock scallops were that easy!!! Imagine them being just as camouflaged, 2 meters into and on the roof of a cave anywhere from 3-20 meters deep, absolutely cemented to the rock and needing a tire iron to pry them off... Great vid, D! Love how you included missed shots. Keepin' it real. I missed a shot so badly last weekend that I hope that footage never sees the light of day.
I’ve never thought of eating the spider crab here in the Washington USA area. Y’all must have a different breed of them over there bc that was a monster! Great video again Sir Dan! High quality as always!
I love all your content. Im brand new to the sport, havent even caught a fish yet. I live on Oahu and your videos have been helping me a lot. Keep up the good work !
Good to see someone in the uk cooking boullaibaisse ! Glad you enjoyed it. I could it that everyday ! If you travel in Catalunya try the zarzuela or the suquet which is the Catalan equivalent :)
Absolutely perfect video 👍👌 Nice trip, friends, spearfishing tuto, different spearfishing style, catch and cook and you end up with one of the best French dish, the bouillabaisse 🙏 That looks absolutely delicious by the way😉 Man, we have to film together😅
So here I was thinking far out Dan's aim is incredible, his shot placement on the pollack are absolutely on point! 😍 To then after seeing you hunt the bass, it felt like i was watching back some of my footage 😂 Nonetheless it's great seeing you back in the water spearfishing!
Really appreciate that insight on the camera work in the water! Not sure which is more impressive, your ability to get those camera shots of Joe, or your spear shots on those fish. World class content as always 👌🏼
Hi, I've been following your channel for a long time and everything in your videos has always been spectacular. The sessions are great, the quality is fantastic... this channel is absolutely brilliant and you helped me a lot with the majority of my curiosities about freediving and swimming, especially spearfishing, thank you so much, I appreciate everything you do on UA-cam, good job! Anyway, I would like to make a suggestion (if it's not a problem for you): I'm convinced that you can add a really funny video on your channel to show us some of the funniest things happened while freediving, swimming or even during other water activities, I was thinking of something like a "oops and bloopers" compilation. For example, you could gather all of the times where you or your friends get recorded on video during ops time... like a pee time! Once, my uncle, who is a scuba diver, wrote “I’m peeing right now 😊” on a waterproof notebook while we were diving and it was soooo hilarious and funny that I almost died. He always tells me there are 2 types of swimmers, divers and surfers: those who pee in the water and those who lie. If you want, you could also include those "releasing" moments as small clips in the future videos just to keep having a bit of humor on your channel, you can use both old and new clips, what do you think? Yeah… I know, it could sound weird for you right now, but, in my opinion, it's the funniest thing about divers and swimmers, believe me. When a swimmer pees in the water, I think they demonstrate to be someone who is not afraid of consequences or to be judged and they just enjoy the moment, no matter what happens. And if you can't tell when someone else does it, well, you could ask them to do a particular sign before they do it, I think it's something that can come out great! I'd be so so happy to watch it, let me know, have a wonderful day!
I've been pricing out gear :p I can't wait to get going. Started practicing holding my breath too. Did 2 minutes 38 seconds today, personal best! Looking forward to practicing in the pool.
Hi Dan, novice spearfisherman here - watching your videos over lockdown was definitely what got me into the sport! I was just wondering whereabouts that string weed spot is as I am still very much a surface spearfisherman and haven't had much luck! Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Hi Charles, string weed can be found all along the shallows in coastal areas. Everywhere we dived on the coast had patches of it. Just a matter of swimming until you find it and remember for next time.
Great vid and great vis. A couple of things though. Your shots on the Pollack were awesome. What great accuracy with parallell shooting being your norm. Secondly re your ad(or whatever it is called) for the clip - you're Aussie so no one is buying your England football 'disappointment'. 😁
I’m using the sporasub harness. It’s the best quick release one I’ve seen, single click and gone. Bouillabaisse was all time, I need to cook it myself.
This was an amazing episode. Felt like a production rather than vlog.
Man… that was epic. Favourite episode yet. So good to see you missing fish like us mere mortals 🤣
More to come!
Missing those shots had me thinking you're human after all but then again maybe you were just missing them to make us mere mortals feel better. I love watching your videos and Joe Pike's. I miss England, I hope I can go back there sooner. Can't wait for the next one.
I love these types of videos/series keep them coming. Much love from Lebanon
Thanks Marc!

No idea sorry Heldi, it’s a 5mm I think though.
@@DanielMann no problem, thanks alot man, cheers!
Nice film and some great recipe ideas there. String weed one of my favourite places as you nearly always find bass lurking Cheers for sharing
So good! Both the fishing and the food! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Love the storytelling on this one, Daniel - and thank you for another great video. Keep up the good work :)
Did not disappoint, absolutely smashing video🙌
Cheers Angelo!
Sweet Dan! I'm in cornwall so saving this video for later! 👍
Yet another banger! He don’t miss
Thanks Lauritz!
Haha I instantly knew those pinnacles where you went for pollock!! Great spot to dive there 😍 awesome video Dan 👍
They aren't a secret but I'm sure their depth keeps a few guys away.
Just found this channel, its a mystery why you don't have more views! This is so high quality, while so fun and relaxing
Always looking forward to the episodes, and each one is better than the last. Great seeing two great channels diving together more and more as well! Now the trifecta would be Joe, Dan and WetMammel!
He's in Australia at the moment, perhaps Joe and I need to go for a little trip...
@@DanielMann now that would be a great episode or few!! I’ve been wanting to get a nice barramundi or blue bone for sure. I like the rugged aspect of camping and spearfishing to cook over a fire, simple fun and enjoying the peace!
Nice one as usual Dan, awesome to see this mini-series kind of thing and some more frequent uploads !
FINALLY! Someone that hates shallow weed stalking as much as me. Excellent video.
Really made my fish dinners look prehistoric, cant wait for the next one
Great video Dan! The food looked Devine, salivating while watching.
Will cook a bouillabaisse for you guys soon 😁
Excellent!!
Thanks for sharing.
8:50 incredible shot
Thanks...it's almost as if it were planned 👀
@@DanielMann love the sound effects @13.12 when you shot the fish.. made my day. I hear that same sound lol
Kinda' reminds me of a Dove Shoot................ the hunt in the weeds.
Great Content, Sir. Love to watch Your vids.

Awesome vid! Looked like a great time and that meal looked banging!
One of the best things I’ve eaten for sure.
I’ve never thought of eating the spider crab here in the Washington USA area. Y’all must have a different breed of them over there bc that was a monster! Great video again Sir Dan! High quality as always!
I'll eat just about anything once, give it a go.
@@DanielMann I guess I’ll have to give them a try.
Finally brother u have been waiting for this episode with joe pk from the last video
It’s only been a week 😁
@@DanielMann well a week is a long time for the excitement your videos give
Had the bouillabaisse in Marseille some years ago. Quite too garlicy (especially the rouille) but delicious. Nice video as usual
This didn’t have too match garlic at all but I can see how that could ruin it.
Seeing you miss shots, doesn’t make me feel so bad now haha
I love all your content. Im brand new to the sport, havent even caught a fish yet. I live on Oahu and your videos have been helping me a lot. Keep up the good work !
Best video I've seen for ages Dann.. thanks
Cheers Mark!
Absolutely love this vid
Thank you 🙌
@@DanielMann I really enjoy the videos with you and Joe, and seeing an amazing chef cook your fish is fantastic to watch.
Good to see someone in the uk cooking boullaibaisse ! Glad you enjoyed it. I could it that everyday !
If you travel in Catalunya try the zarzuela or the suquet which is the Catalan equivalent :)
Absolutely perfect video 👍👌
Nice trip, friends, spearfishing tuto, different spearfishing style, catch and cook and you end up with one of the best French dish, the bouillabaisse 🙏
That looks absolutely delicious by the way😉
Man, we have to film together😅
Soon 🤞
Thanks for the vid. You definitely need a way we can help sponsor a trip.
I already know it’s gonna be a good vid
Hope you like it Matthew!
@@DanielMann I was blown away, awesome vid. Keep up the fantastic work.👍
So here I was thinking far out Dan's aim is incredible, his shot placement on the pollack are absolutely on point! 😍 To then after seeing you hunt the bass, it felt like i was watching back some of my footage 😂 Nonetheless it's great seeing you back in the water spearfishing!
What can I say, the fish are bigger and easier to shoot at 15m than 15ft 🤣
@@DanielMann Haha too true, I reckon a pranger would've been perfect for those bass!
I was longing for one let me tell you 🤣
Really appreciate that insight on the camera work in the water! Not sure which is more impressive, your ability to get those camera shots of Joe, or your spear shots on those fish. World class content as always 👌🏼
Thanks Jack, I need to spend a bit more time on the camera to try and get more in focus 🥴
@@DanielMann could barely notice, but that’s why you’re a professional. Excited to see where your adventures take you brother
Chef’s home is amazing 🤩
That was just the AirBnB for the week but it was stunning none the less.
Nice catch buddy well done 👏 💪 I can’t wait to start buddy well done you inspire me Dan keep it up 💪💪💪💪💪👏👏👏❤️
Can’t wait to get back out , just ordered my 110 roller !
That's a serious weapon!
@@DanielMann I’m excited too miss all my fish with it :) I have had a beginner gun for a few year and decided it was high time for an upgrade !!
Great stuff, Dan, Joe and MasterChef!
how did I miss this episode in July!!! so good! Also that looked like a phenomenal meal! don't suppose that recipe is available somewhere?
Got to turn notifications on! It’s a standard bouillabaisse, can find loads of recipes for it online!
Keep it up, looking forward to your next video as always :D
Epic episode Dan! im new to the Spearo world so I feel less frustrated when I see a Legend miss a few shots but great work non the less!
So good! Do i see a Peter Mckinnon inspiration going on here? Cheers from Azores - Portugal.
I think this is the best video of yours I’ve seen. What else to say?
Hey Dan great video and good to see you remembered your gun this time! 😉
Always handy for spearfishing.
@@DanielMann Indeed
Man this another level of videos keep up the great work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️
More to come!
Super vid like always mate 👍 i know how hard is to hit in shalow waters from 12 shots 2 fish 😂
Tell me about it, I hate shooting down on fish.
@@DanielMann but it's strange 🙄 why do the fish looks smaller should be bigger.. i got some nice polocks 2-3kg they looked max 1lb 😁

Awesome video mate. That food looked amazing.
It was pretty special, very thankful & privileged to be there.

Never practise in the pool alone! Too many people have died this way.
@@DanielMann I don't plan to, and I would be letting the life guards know what I am doing ahead of time.
That’s not enough sorry. If you are doing breath holds in a pool you need someone dedicated to watching you.
@@DanielMann Yeah that's what I was meaning, I'd go with a buddy and also let the lifeguard know ahead of time.
Another banger!!!
Excellent trip chaps

Awesome 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video master chef 🐟
Vocês são uma bela equipa! Muito fixe gosto muito dos vossos vídeos ! Top
Love youre Videos
Tip if you don’t know already, keep those fish frames and heads. Buy some prawns and boil it up. Make some Tom Yum Soup…yummo. Yep, chef did it.
Great viewing as always
Cheers Karl!
Thanks chaps😊👍
Our pleasure!
Nice one mr Mann👌🇦🇺🍻
Thank you! Cheers!
Get it Dan!
hope you feel better soon dan!! dont let covid get you down
Thanks Zac, has thrown a spanner in some plans but I’ll live!
Damn. That was good. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice fishing 👍💪
Thanks 👍
You deserve a million subscriber 🔥
Too kind 🙌
Properly more than that
Nice video broo!
Great work!!!
Thank you very much!
Wow that's interesting I've never shot a bass except from the surface . Never really thought how much cageier they might be
Yum
Awesome stuff Dan! What vest are you wearing in these videos? Also that bouillabaisse looked phenomenal!
I’m using the sporasub harness. It’s the best quick release one I’ve seen, single click and gone. Bouillabaisse was all time, I need to cook it myself.
Any tips on re sharpening your spear
great vid! been waiting for this one. where did you get your housing from im looking into one for my camera
It's a Nauticam, this one was from ocean leisure in London. Luckily I just borrow it from my work!
@@DanielMann ideal not cheap equipment for sure it's still one thing I need for my artillery luckily most my clients don't need videos in the water 😂
Dope vid bro
Lets gooo!!
Hey dan, how long do you usually stay underwater per single breath-hold dive?
waiting for your upload dan...
...now I'm hungry!.... 😫
🤣
You and me both!
great video
how do you keep your shaft so sharp? (at least it looks very sharp in the video)
By not shooting rocks 😊
@@DanielMann wow so its made that sharp? my shafts are all round and pointy yours look like they are grinded in triangular shape...
Some are tricut some are round points. I prefer the tricut myself. Comes like that from the manufacturer.
@@DanielMann thank you so much!
Dan, you need an Aussie Pranger gun for that string weed snooping
Absolutely. I’ve still got a load tucked away in my dads shed. Could be time to bring them out of retirement.
One question...what do you use to secure the GoPro?
Head strap
You should try to spear fish in the faroe islands
12 mins in shows you are human haha!
After missing a nice pollock from the surface yesterday, I have categorically banned myself from surface shooting 😂
You and me both.
I notice you very rarely use roller spearguns, any reason for this? are they not popular in the UK/europe?
Quite popular in Europe but I have no need for them in the U.K. Visibility is often poor and fish aren’t all that big.
What is the fish at 5:37? Looks like some sort of cod...?
Just a big Ballan wrasse.
What camera do u uses underwater
In this one I used a Panasonic GH5.
How long do you hold your breath nice fishing btw
Not usually any longer than 1:30.
@@DanielMann a ok I hold it for 1 15 in a pool
Maybe have the cameraman on SCUBA.
Can you wat wrasse? Ballan?
Yes you can.
@@DanielMann thanks so much ill be looking for some recipes now, looking at starting spearfishing in an around torbay, love your content mate!
You might need some more powerful gun roller gun polispast

Dan, ask mike as he is a deer stalker abt snatch the trigger.... miss diving the south cost
Will mention it next time I see him.
