The Green Job fish (Uku) Spearfishing - Fish in Focus
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2024
- The green job fish, aka, Uku & kakaap is a predatory demersal species that behaves much like a pelagic fish. The world record is 17kg but anything over 10kg is considered a trophy sized fish. They are renowned worldwide as a difficult fish to spear, especially when larger. In this video I show various situations that I have found green job fish in. Anything from using burley, aspetto & the silent dive bomb.

Daniel Mann has the best spearfishing channel on UA-cam. Change my mind.
Too kind Jack! There are so many great channels these days all unique in their own way. Viewers are spoilt for choice.
@@DanielMann Oh I agree that there are numerous great channels on UA-cam. But the knowledge that you share, along with your professional + cinematically gorgeous presentation style is unmatched. You truly are doing all of us a great service and we thank you for it!
Agreed
@@AdamFreediver And Adam, my man, you have the best free diving videos for sure 👍🏼👌🏼
true true, Ryan Myers is pretty good too!
Daniel, your lack of jealousy and the compliments you give to other spearos is admirable.thats why your channel is on the top!love this video!
I’m a firm believer in credit where credit is due 👌
Some of my favorite content on UA-cam after a long day it never fails to relax me and fuel the passion for diving and the deep blue much love Dan.
Because it is like documentaries, greetings from Morocco
Thank you Daniel!!
I enjoyed the video and i
apreciate what you offer for this spearfishing passion we are living.
Happy dives and winter from Mayorca!!!
Great video Dan and beautiful shirts! Been working on ours a bit but you just raised the bar significantly. I can feel how soft they are through the screen!
Cheers Ryan!
Been watching for years. Thank you for contributing so much to our small community. Cheers from SoCal California.
Going to finally get into spearfishing this year. Can’t wait.
Be careful, once you start you'll be finished. You won't go a day without thinking about it!
@@DanielMann and make sure yourpartner is as supportive as Daniel's..itis a pain otherwise
Superb! Very educational as always, a fish to add to the bucket list for sure! Thanks!
Dentex-Seabass Lovechild of the tropics!
Perfect words for what i have seen online for this fish!
Though not so hard to catch like the Dentex!!!
Definitely not so hard to catch but still very fun to spear. The bigger ones from my hometown are very difficult, I've never managed to spear a monster in my local waters. Always travelling a little bit...
@@DanielMann I have hardly ever seen a monster Dentex in my local waters! 😁
Tell that to the jobfish in the Philippines. Most of them seem to have been in the Med taking lessons from dentex...;-(. But then again, the groupers and snappers here are equally smart. Just comes with fishing pressure. But hey, at least the jacks will never learn:-)
@@AntiVaganza Ιt always has to do with each individual fish and what experiences with divers it had in the past.There are certainly times where you meet just really really curious dentex here in the Med too coming to eat you!!!
@@spearfishinglifegreece That's a good point. Actually, I normally find the groupers here to be exceptionally shy but then the other day I had two come up to me when I grunted - classic grouper pose, looking straight at me whilst waving their pectoral fins. I didn't even see the first one until really late because it's so rare they will come out for grunts here. Not sure if the spot I was on has less pressure or whether the new moon made them more curious.
As for the suicidal dentex - if Daniel goes much longer without one, you have to hand capture one of those and release it around him next time he visits;)
Hands down best spearfishing videos on the Tube. Always learn something, still yet to plug a nice Jobbie so hopefully I can get one soon! Thanks for the tips dude!!
I have been watching this channel since I started practicing free diving two years ago, and I always wait for the new even though I am not good at English until I like it with good luck
Nice shots. Learned something. Thanks👍
Great video D Mann🤙🏾
Thanx again Daniel. Nice presentation!
Cheers Bob!
Cracking footage - Well done
nice video Daniel very educational thank you
I love these kind of vids
Your channel is so awesome! Thanks for uploading another great video!
Cheers Paczki!
Couldn't wait for another vid i love ur content mann
Love these kind of videos! Not early enough to get one of those codes but definitely going to get a top anyways! Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for the support Ben 🙌
Aweh! Kakaap mowdown...Tops Dan!
Great video again Daniel. Love your style of vid.
Glad you like them!
Great videos Daniel!!! Love them, and missed them! Hahaha
Great vid Dan!! Will watch this another 20 times!!
We had some great sessions on the job fish didn't we? I think the one where we all nearly got eaten in the morning, then you belted that 10kg jack and I shot a 9kg job on dark was a good one. Except the steering issue...
Another great informative vid as usual Dan. Keep up the good work mate! Cheers 🤙🏻
Thanks Daniel 🙌
nice vid Mr. Mann
Another excellent video Daniel. Your footage is superb. Your editing, narration and production quality are outstanding. As always, you are showing how it is done. Thank you !
Thank you kindly!
Quality content lesgoo 🔥
Enjoy the videos bruvv so informative 🤙👍
I had no idea they schooled up like that! Awesome video Mann. I love the fish in focus vids
Always waiting on your videos Mann the best have to use me one of them codes lol 👍
Shark Bay to Coffs, you're bloody spot on there 🥇 One of my favourites D.M.
Solid video Daniel! Awaiting the arrival of a new shirt 😎
Tracking says due to be delivered today!
Awesome video dan
I totally respect your freediving skills. Your one hell of a Waterman Daniel. I wish all the spearos wouldn't kill the big trophy fish tho. When fish have made it to that age and size , I think they deserve to live.
Just my opinion. Not looking for a fight or anything. 😁 I'm a spearo too, but I don't shoot the horses.
Not directing straight at you , but yer most spearos hunt the horses. Usually crap to eat too. All about the trophy photo.
Great video once again Daniel,and nice t-shirts 😉
Thank you again
Another amazing video
Cheers Stephen!
Another great video Dan! Heading to the swains next week so this has fired me up to try for a big Jobbie. Thanks mate
Jealous! I've heard it's wild out there, good luck.
@@DanielMann thank you mate 🤙
Great Quality 😍😍
Love this style of video, cant wait for the crayfish one.
You’ll have to take me to make that video!
I got a spot or two down south. 😉
Phenomenal editing Daniel! Sounds like the job fish is good eating!
Thank you, they are pretty good to eat but I would chose many other fish first.
Mann love the shirt. Merry Christmas in Advance. yohhh
Great video Dan
Thanks Dan, when are your uploads going to become more regular?
I spear fished for my first time a couple days ago on the Great Barrier Reef in mission beach I got a couple coral trout and a snapper or smth lol this dude inspired so if you want entertaining spearfishing content you came to the perfect place at 4:05 anyone else see the haliboot?
Awesome video as usual... 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Vassan
Awesome..👍👍👍👍
Mad editing skills!
Dan. Great video! I am leaving in two days for Hawaii and this is my target species for the trip. Could not have been better timing. Also when prepping gear your band videos helped me out replacing my dyneema wishbones for the first time. Love the stuff your putting out man, keep it up. And Thanks
Good luck Austin!
Glad to watch yet another video of yours! Great stuff, seems like a great fish to spear.
Regard from Rome, (hunting for dentex this weekend, wish me luck!)
Keep the vids up!
Good luck!
Great Daniel very nice fishing.
Thanks 👍
yessa amazing vid
Another awesome video. You have no idea how your videos are helping now that I’m able to get in the water more and copy your tips. We are now eating seafood regularly.
Great to hear Timothy, the meals shared wi the family and friends are a highlight for me.
@@DanielMann definitely. My wife is Indonesian so I do get a bit spoilt with food. The abalones the other night were, well, awesome. I just need to find some big Southern Crays now that it’s cray season here, that’s a big goal of mine as I’ve never tried one.
Great Video Daniel really like your fish in focus range! My missus is get the shirt for xmas 👍💪🌊
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video !! Please do the same one for the red snapper (sebae) !!! Can't wait to see it !
cmon now, give this boi a million subs
Daniel you go a mention in Kelly Youngs latest Spearo video, when She shot a Halibut in Baja, She shouted "H A L l BUUTT", in your honour. 👏👏👏👍
I saw that!
Finally 😍😍
Nice blog Daniel was just looking in to see if you had a new blog and here you are 😁👍🏻 just watched joe pk spearing bass in Devon another great blogger love you guys keep it up 😬👍🏻🧜🏻♂️
His video was insane from today 🤯
About time Dive Everywhere had its product line, well don’t stop at T-shirts.
Got the shirts and they are awesome! The gang and I will be wearing them on our first ever spearfishing trip to Costa Rica this December all thanks to the amazing videos you post. Oh, and you should add Slippy lube to the list of gear - it's now on amazon. Best!
Cheers Adrian! Good look in Costa Rica, I’m well jealous 😁
Sensational.
Aloha Dan!...Just discovered your channel....AWESOME!!...think I'm going to be hanging out here for a long while
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by, glad you’re enjoying the videos 👌
I'm a diver as well... so you video always catch my eyes
Thanks John!
Daniel amazing fish! Actually landed an absolute monster off of rabbit island around 17 lbs. was actually in the reef with a bunch of omilus. I tend to run into a lot of job fish under the reef here in Hawaii for some reason
wow fantastic......
That is the best Green Job fish video on UA-cam. Thank you! Maybe next time you catch one, you can make a catch and cook video. I have dived many times in the Red Sea but never seen one.
Very kind words, next time I will for sure.
Yey Daniel, I love your work, and the topic is fine, but I'm not LOOKING for a job, thank you.
Impressionnant 👍
Merci!
Incredible mann!!!! I've only landed a couple here in Hawaii. I'm always looking, and most often when I finally spot one, I get so excited that I screw it up...
We’ve all been there
Every time I see uku, they blitz it before I can get to the bottom. Gotta find some better spots on oahu
Have shot a couple here in Palau during the day. They are quite a fighter when caught on handline.
Good fishing
Massive HALIBOOT!!!!!
Nice fish......
Nice
lesgoo so sick
This awesome vid 🤙🏼
Hello fron Brazil 🇧🇷🐟 OCleitON 🐟🎯🎥🤜🏼💥🤛
Obrigado!
My jaw dropped at the 4:30 clip. That sight was absolutely surreal.
It was a pretty amazing sight. There was plenty of other fish in there too, Venus tusk fish, yellow tail kingfish, mangrove Jack etc.
Daniel mann ! Please do a video about the halibut please !
Daniel, like a lot of the other comments, I live in Hawai'i. But I have a spot where the ukus are coming in at around 25-45ft regularly and I have a video on my channel of my first shot at one, it ripped unfortunately. One of the more recent dives at this spot I did in November was unbelievable, I never came out with an uku but I had the experience to see lots of them passing by through this sand patch. Almost 10 or so just cruising by was amazing to see, maybe when I get better and they get bigger we can meet again lol
Hawaii sounds like an amazing place to dive. I’ll get there one day.
Keep track of the moon, tide, wind conditions and time of day at that spot. You may have stumbled across something you can replicate.
greetings from Natuna🤙🥂
Wow
I am about to believe that Brisbane is spearos Heaven .Super video as always bro .Bravo !!! ps : Red Emperor T shirt Please !!!!!
It has a huge variety of fish and can be fished all year round. Unfortunately there isn't too many spots for shore diving so a boat is necessary and often between 15m and 30m.
Well a friend there (His name Daniel) has a boat :P . 15-18 Meters believe i am ok .Once more well done bro !!!
When I’m back there you will have to come for a month 👌
Hello Daniel!
Thank you for your videos!They are great!
If you ever like to visit Goa ,India please be our guest!The season is starting now,water is super,a lot of fish!
Best regards Max!
I’ve seen 7 spearing shot 4 but never landed one. Been hoping you’d do this video. They’re my most wanted target species atm.
They can be difficult to land especially when larger. A gun with a bit of power helps with the longer shots on thicker fish.
Don't mean to be a douche, but perhaps it's time to practice a bit more restraint or do a pool session to see if your gun is actually hitting where you are aiming...?
I've only ever seen four, shot and landed two and missed on one completely and the last one never got in range. But one thing I do know is that they are indeed powerful - even the smaller ones - so like DMann points out, you need a good holding shot.
The second one I shot I actually thought I had lost it. I shot him fairly deep and the shot looked good, just near the gill plate but he sped off super fast. I put a bit of pressure on him on my ascent but the line went slack quite fast and by the time I got to the surface I was bummed out and told my friend, I'd lost it. But he was there, hanging on the line - I had hit him just rear of the gills, maybe nicked his heart so after the first initial run, he gave up completely. I was so happy and relieved as I pulled it up.
Yaaaayy :) I'm not the only one who dive's in gardening gloves :)
I wonder with a good bit of global warming.... if those fish will push a bit further over toward NZ :)
just re-watching this video again. As always -so good. My question is this- whats better to eat, the dog tooth or the uku? Asked from somebody who hunts in Hawaii and may never see a dog tooth tuna in his life!
They don’t get dogtooth in Hawaii, I forget the reason. I’d prefer to eat dogtooth, much nicer sashimi and bigger slabs than a jobfish.
A Dentex is still waiting for you here in the Mediterranean with your name written on it 😁
G’day Daniel any tips on how to care for your speargun rubber stopping it from cracking please🤠🤙
They will always perish but just washing them down with fresh water and keeping them away from sunlight will help.
Haliboooooooot
👍👍👍
Went spearfishing yesterday, got a few salmon and snapper, hopefully enough to feed the family
Sounds like plenty 👌
@@DanielMann family of 8 plus a few extras, you'd hope so
@@DanielMann I'm almost certain you read every comment, I've been watching for a long time and you always tend to reply
enhorabuena Daniel excelente video y lances y además bajando metros, no hablo ingés lástima pero las imagenes lo dicen todo, en que zona es?
Tu si que eres un crack, te sigo mucho. Daniel en este video pesca por australia por la zona de perth
@@nicobuenocaza ufff muchas gracias Nico, David pesca muy bien ¡y se lo monta muy bien! yo también quiero jjjj
🤙
maybe one day you can visit my hometown in the Wakatobi archipelago to do spearfishing together and enjoy the natural beauty of the island of Wakatobi
Looks like an amazing place. I have been to Timor Leste and the diving was unbelievable. I imagine it would be similar in Wakatobi.
Great video you should come spear in New Zealand 😁
I would love to, my sister lives there.
@DanielMann Please do a pole spearfishing video next time
Daniel i'm from spain and i would like to get one of those full carbon spearguns you have. Do you make them on your own or do you have a sponsor that sells them. Sick vid. I hope to see you get a big dentex one day
Hi Nico, I have made those by myself. I don’t sell them as they take so much time to make. You should check out orca spearguns, made in Spain and very similar.
here in kauai hawaii i caught 4 from shore my biggest is 14lbs
Awesome, shore diving for them is very cool. 14lb is a great fish too.
I live in Hawaii and have been trying to spear ukus for a while
Ryan Myers has a plethora of videos on spearing uku's in Hawaii. Really great videos.
@@DanielMann yeah you and Ryan are my favorite spearfishing UA-camrs keep up the good work 🤙🏼
