Shooting Red Moki is not something most NZ spearfishermen would be proud of, pretty much a no go fish. They are very slow growing, slow producers, and live a longtime up until about 100 years old and don’t move far, once you take a few out from an area they are gone for a very long time. The one you just shot was probably living in that small patch of reef for close to 40 years helping to maintain the eco system such as keeping the kina population down. Challenge yourself and go for more pelagic fish such as snapper, trevally etc...Plus its a lot more fun..Moki will just sit there and smile at you
Yep, as I put at the end of video I don't target them anymore. A guy told me that on my walk back from shooting that one. I was ignorant but now I go for other fish. Have got a few blue cods and tarakihi and just waiting for summer in the Marlborough sounds so I can target some snapper and maybe even kingfish.
@@Aldenpnw Nice one...Butterfish which are kinda green in colour are a really nice eating reef fish try those..But again like any reef fish just take a one or two
Good suggestion, thanks. I'm gonna try going for some next weekend and will try to shoot a video. I never take more than I can eat or share with those I'm with in one meal here in NZ
great video!!! beautiful and frightening shark footage. is the fish you collected in this video a "red moki"? why is it not good to target them?? cheers mate.
You got iron balls to go in shark infested waters with such a visibility ´ maybe you ll be lucky to see one of those huge GW you re looking for ´ but if one of those predates and your the target ’ which I hope you won’t ‘ well then you won’t see em’ comin especially in murky waters or low visibility waters ´ Stay safe mate 👌
ONE shark equals "shark infested waters"? Um, they live there. It is their home. They do not "infest" the waters. Quite frankly surprised you didn't also use the term "lurking".
I want to check out bluff down on the south end of the south. Heard there's big crays, paua and some huge great whites! Need to see one of those underwater
Sharks are pretty chill normally. I've swam/dove with tons of them. This one is what I would call a tax collector as he comes after hearing the speargun shot to steal your fish
Bronze's don't ever attack. I've done all my diving around the salmon farms where there are countless numbers of them . Although I did get told off by my manager for posting a video of me holding a fin and getting a ride by one 😅

Humans are not the target of sharks
@@AndreaNobili84 Well someone should remind the sharks of that because attacks and predations are increasing worldwide .

Beautiful footage full of atmospheric taste. Its a dusky shark or maybe bronze whaler?
Thanks, it's a bronzy, about 1.8-2m
What shark is that? Maybe a young bull?
Bronze whaler
If you fear being near a sshark, stay out of the water. They're attracted to fish in pain.
To swim in shark-infested waters, you'll need a larger toothpick.

No "shark infested" waters were shown in the video. One small whaler. ONE INDIVIDUAL! One dude! How can one individual create an infestation?
Glad it didn't attack!
