I like other spearotubers such as Anvar from Cyprus and Dimos from Greece, but Daniel doesn't camp nor use a kayak, so I prefer Ollie's videos than Mr Mann, no question on that.
17:44 hey man sick video but that fish along with one of the other fish you feature later are small albacore not a skippies - notice the long pectoral fins, darker top and larger eyes
I watched one of your videos an that made me wanna learn to dive an tonight I got back from a dive with some mates an they asked me how I got into it an said I literally watched your videos an started 🤟🏽
Glad I'm not the only one who thought the first one that came aboard looked like an alby (no stripes). I'm not an authority, so I didn't comment! Some in the smoker pics definitely were skippies, though,.
Ollie, That first tuna brought on board rod and reel looks to be either a Big eye tuna or an albacore. The lack of purple color and striping on the belly and them long pectoral fins give it away. Great content as always though!
@Ollie you should try the Bonito Tataki with Yuzu Ponzu dip. Leave the skin on the fillets, score and heavily salt. Char over an ultra hot flame/fire until the skin is charred, the flesh side should remain pink.
Awesome vid. Always makes me want to go to NZ for a fishing trip. So much fish life compare to Melbourne haha. Would you be able to share the location of the Smokehouse, i can't seem to find it on Google map. Cheers!
Far out thats probably the best vid I've watched of yours mate! That smoker is massive and can only imagine how all that kai tasted.....NICE! Thanks for an awesome vid :)
wow, what a wonderland you experience out on those reefs. Great work on the filming. And good info on the skipjack tuna - always wondered about their eating quality, but like some other fish, NZers are pretty disparaging of certain ones even though they've probably never tried them. I reckon a lot of opinions are based on what other people have said, not first hand. So if I get another one, I'll be smoking it!
Another awesome vid Ollie.. hope to one day get to meet and dive with you.. I’m always below sea level diving and gathering for my elders.. just woundering do you have a float connected to your gun or do you just use the reel to pull it in? Cheers ❤
Glad the bronzie didn't tax you
1. Daniel Mann
2. Ollie Craig
3. Everyone else
Killing it mate!
