    This is perfect! Heading down to the Bahamas to stay on Sail La Vie in a few weeks. I would love to get some of my first pelagic fish with the Headhunter. Keep up the great videos.

    My kids and I love your channel, and watch it multiple times almost daily. We're somewhat new to spearfishing, and working on our hunting techniques. My older son wants to catch his first uhu. I'm looking for a nice moana kali, or mu. For my family and I, your words of wisdom are like those given from a professor. There isn't a day that we are out in the water that I don't hear, "Ryan said to do it this way," or "I saw this on Ryan's video, let's try it". Well anyway, continue the great work and the amazing videos. Mahalo again for helping in keeping my family interested in diving.

    I have only recently started spear fishing in Southern Cali and the lock down only made it worse but may have helped in the long run. Gave me more motivation to spend more time on the forums and find better info on the sport and my area rather than just going out and trying random spots. Just shooting anything with that pole spear would be amazing since I am still in the stoked to get anything I can stage. Haha. Might be taking a trip to Bahamas soon to so the pole spear would come in handy then. Thanks for all the great videos keep it up man. Helped me survive the lockdown.

    I am 15 years old and just starting to get actually ok at spearfishing. I have been thinking of upgrading my spear setup, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Living in northern Cali it would be so sick to shoot a giant lingcod with that spear.

    • @divebobber
      @divebobber 4 роки тому +1

      In my opinion, the best gun for a ling is a medium pneumatic, like a 70cm. You can pump them up so you have a lot of power for the size of the gun. I use a euro five prong and slam them in the head. This, plus a good bright light is essential for finding those 20 plus pounders in the holes.

    It's scooter from Ormond Beach. Super stoked for your channel success. You came to watch us Powerparaglide. Anyhow, we've been finally able to travel and were heading to the keys to spear some Big Black Grouper. Thanks for a ll the great tips for Spearfishing, your channel has been super informative! Stay cool and keep Spearin!

    Planning to go in February to sail a catamaran around. Last time in the Bahamas was my first time using a pole spear, and I was terrible with it! Hoping to have better luck now that I've practiced a bit more. This was super helpful video! Can't wait to go through all your other vids. Subscribed!

    Because of you I just got into spearfishing. Going for a course in spearfishing in two days, also a freediving course next week. Well I would start off with catching the most common fish here in Denmark, the flats and codfish. Love your videos. Have great day.

    Hey Ryan, I just started following your channel a few days ago, and I’ve been stoked on the video quality. I’ve loved that you actually show/talk about how to hunt. Your process is super fun to watch. I’m in Southern California, and Im thinking a Sheepshead would be sweet to get with the spear, and obviously it would be nice to get an upgrade on my current spear! Look forward to watching your videos, and watching your channel grow. Keep it up brother!

    I would like the pole spear for dentex here in Italy. Since I'm 13, I'm not allowed to use a spear gun so I would like to have a "good pole spear" to shoot fish... (you have to be 16 to shoot a spear gun, hear in Italy)

    What's up Ryan,
    New England Spearo up here diving in the murk shooting tog, flounder, cod, and stripers. Absolutely love freediving and I really appreciate the information and awesome visuals on your channel. I only hunt with my Predator PS because I enjoy honing my technique and only want to make a kill shot worthy of ending that beautiful creature's life. It takes time, technique, patience, and true grit to be successful with a Pole Spear. That's why I love them. Anyway, good luck this summer and stay safe!

    @colefoley192 4 роки тому

    My name is Cole Foley and I live in Sarasota, FL. I’ve been free diving for about 3 years now and have been getting deeper and deeper in depth. The pole spear is perfect for where I hunt as there’s plenty of rocks, structures, and artificial reefs that truly require the flexibility and ease of a pole spear. My goal is to shoot my very first Black Grouper using the Headhunter Roller, that would be sick!
    Thanks for the consistent uploads. I love the beautiful scenery of Hawaii and the great hunting techniques that I have been practicing.

    Ryan my brother another good one! The pole spear is just not used much if at all here in South Africa. We need some more exposure on it here so if I won the comp I'd be shooting King Mackerel first followed by numbers of Queen Mackerel and hopefully a Dorado or two! More importantly Id be filming it all spending hours on the edit and release it on Reel Excitements channel! Thanks for the awesome content my brother!

    Spent the first 2 months of quarantine in harbour island. On high visibility days, I would kayak off the beach and spear the reef. Super new to it but definitely had a blast and managed to spear some lobster and nassau's. Need to figure out a strategy to hit muttons as they were generally pretty elusive and flighty. Also wish I found your videos before I went there! Thanks for the unreal content.

    Would love to put that pole spear in a spanish mack or cobia down here in Oz. With Ciguatera, just remember that it also bioacculmates in you aswell, you might not get symptoms right away but if you eat enough fish with low levels of the toxin, you may still get Cigutera poisoning. Great, informative vid as always Ryan

    Aloha Ryan, thanks for the education, being new to Hawaii (building my house in "Kona Paradise" at this time) I'm really hesitant spearing fish, I definitely need some local knowledge on fish identification . I only like to shoot what I'm going to eat that night. oh, my Shark story, i had two bull sharks come at me after shooting a nice size Mullet, that i was planning to fry up for lunch, while working as a life guard (24 years ago) at Santa Rosa Island, NP, FL . it was my first encounter with an aggressive shark , and all I could think of,. is what would Jacques Christo do, LOL.

    My friend took me out spearfishing yesterday for the first time off Dana Point CA. He shot a sheepshead which I made ceviche out of. Ryan, I've been enjoying your videos and getting motivated for the sport. keep up the good work. I want to win the spear and harvest some more sheepshead and many other fish as I learn the species and size limits. Thanks for the knowledge you share.
