My first time Spearfishing in the Mediterranean Sea - PONZA, ITALY!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2018
- My good friend from Polosub, Giuliano Tagliacozzo invited me to Blucamp 2018 to go spearfishing on the island of Ponza off the west coast fo Italy for a week with over 30 Italian divers. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to finally go spearfishing in the Mediterranean.
I never anticipated it would be as difficult as it was. The fish or pesce are extremely shy and very smart. The type of spearfishing here was unlike anything I had ever experienced... Plenty of Catch and Cook in this vlog with authentic Italian hospitality.

NO wonder why Mediterranean divers have completely dominated the world championships since the beginning

Obrigado 🇹🇹
By Anglo-Saxon he meant that you can handle the cold water
Yep, now you know how I feel when I see you going "oh that was just a small fish, 8 kilos"
man, I hit that big fish 3 times in 20+ years
Cheers from Croatia
Prijatelju pozdrav iz Hrvatske takoder :)
As a guy who lives in the maditeranean i know how hard it is to spearfish in it . But for me , it was standard , I thought it was the same in every country ( ik stupid of me to think that ) , and I was so surprised to see someone going straight at a fish and it not escaping in other seas.
Hey man I'm mediterranean as well, do you think we have less marine life (fish) in here if compared with other oceans?
It’s not a matter of opinion it’s fact unfortunately. Watch any of my videos from Australia to see.
Man same here I thought it was the same everywhere
The guy called Fabrizio was actually Fabrizio D'Agnano, the owner of TotemSub, one of the best divers in Italy. Lucky you! Great video
I don't know UA-cam recommended this video to me I'm neither a fisherman, a swimmer, a toman, nor an Aussie (I'm a teacher in Midland Texas), but great channel, I'll be watching more!
The baracuda is a curious fish the best way to catch it is to hide between rocks and hit your gun barel in the rock or make sounds from your troat it the fish will came straight to you to see wat's going on and sorry if my english is little bit bad
Questi pesci sono molto buoni, qui li chiamiamo Trilha o Bearded Parati. Ogni volta che li vedo, li prendo perché hanno il sapore di gamberi. Guarda il mio nuovo video del Pesca Submarina al suono della musica funk dal Brasile

Obrigado 🇹🇹
"get in there, Anglo Saxon!"
Shooting those thin Baracuda! And I bet it was a really fun experience getting to a new location and finding you’re out of your depth. You must be sneaky! I must learn to hold my breath longer. Great video.
After watching this video, where you as a professional diver who was spearfishing all around world and participated in many competitions have problems to catch something, I realised how hard spearfishing in Mediterranean and Adriatic sea actually is. As someone who is diving in Adriatic since childhood, and had many dives where I actually got nothing. I had no idea that there is something about the sea that makes it so hard.
I hope you spear your dentex in Mediterranean, you deserved it!
Epic mate, good effort finding the time to film everything/fly the drone. Hard enough to do it at home let alone in a totally new environment. Great editing and a good story. We are so spoilt here in Aus, definitely looks like a great place to challenge yourself over there. Look forward to diving there one day, love how soft the bottom looks everywhere!
The one man production crew is constantly being tested over here 😂 New drone basically flys itself and fits in my pocket just about so loving that. I’m looking forward to diving back home one day, I’ll probably just look and not shoot anything for the first half a day. Bottom was really soft, except for the occasional urchin.
Great Video! I am Italian myself and I understand the struggle!
Mate that editing tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks dude!
The way u explain everything makes your videos easy and entertaining to watch
Thanks for sharing this adventure with us. I Spearfish occasionally in the Adria on the other side in croatia. You should go there too.
Bro every video has been nothing but great you have not disappointment me once👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻💯
Amazing video Dan, you are by far the best spearo & editor that I've found on UA-cam. Watched all of your stuff at least 4 or 5 times and enjoy the story format. It is immensely better than just a shooting gallery type video. Keep up the great work and stay safe during your travels.
Much appreciated Kevin 🙏🏻
Best channel on youtube for fish lovers. Brilliant editing and narration.
Thank you.😊
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Once again I love your personal narration.😊
Great job.👍
Cheers man!
This makes so much sense! I'm just learning to spear, but I'm in Greece. I do know I have to be careful with movements, but I didn't know the mediterranean was so difficult to fish. I wish I had started spearing when I was back in PR 😅
When i got the notification that you had uploaded a new video, i dropped everything and watched it right away. Totally worth it! Keep up the great content
Thanks Martin, glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Wow Dan, you really conveyed how hard spearfishing in the Mediterranean really is! I was with you the whole journey ; the pain at missing the Cortina and the elation when you nailed the barracuda n grouper. Great video, most enjoyable
Cheers Julian, glad it conveyed well.
Best Spear fishing channel I've found to date. Best quality I've seen anywhere, I hope you keep it up!
Cheers Alonso!
Another awesome video.. What an amazing looking place.. I'd never get enough of Italy.. Just to go to experience the culture and the food would be life-changing.
The Italians have good nailed down, much different to the ‘American Italian’ food that gets around in most western countries. Very simple with fresh ingredients and of course top quality olive oil is more than necessary.
Up until 5 yrs ago I lived on a boat But sold it and told myself No more expensive boats A large part of what I did was down to watching these films yep went and got another boat Thanks id forgotten how much i need the sea I'm sure you know what I mean God its good for your soul Keep it up dude
I feel like you could make a crazy show out of this man, the production is so good just with one person and the idea of eating with others and sharing the fish with others is super cool. I hope all the best for you man keep makin these!
Thanks mate, I’ll just keep making videos 👌
Living the Dream!! Absolutely stunning location & awesome content. Makes me want to learn to spearfish.
You sir are a master at making videos on a whole nother level. Bravo
Thanks Ivesy 🙏🏻
Following your great editing vids i learned of your up and coming diving in med i couldnt wait to see it you vids are so true
being croatian born diving in nz and most of australia i too had the same difficulty when diving in adriatic very cold water in summer and always deep long dives
Great video man!|
Been checking out your vids the past days actually and have been really enjoying them!
Greetings from Greece! :)
Love your videos also man! Watched loads of them when I got back from this trip.
Well done your patience layer off in the end. The old guy is a legend great video.
Best quality to view-ratio on youtube! Good job!
Thanks mate!
oligri91 agreed
This is epic content man! You deserve wayyyy more subs. Saw your UK vids and now I'm tempted to get in the car and go down to Brighton for a few weekends and attempt to learn this skill!
Finally uploaded💦💦💦. Been waiting for so long but worth the wait. Didn’t disappoint. Love it Dan! You da Mann!
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hey Dan, your vids are by far the most entertaining Spearing vids I have come across. Great narration and editing. Really liking the places you are hitting as a lot of us Spearos may never get to see it for ourselves! (even the UK stuff)Really well done bro, keep them coming!
Cheers Ben!
I watch your videos from México, Querétaro, I started watching them 1 week ago and they are awesome, keep doing what you do, I'm already anxious for your next video.
Solo en estos días, María, mi esposa está en San Miguel de Allende, para visitar a su familia. ¿Cómo es posible que desde Queretaro pueda ir a pescar? Y luego Daniel Mann, que es un pescador noruego extraño pero muy bueno! Soy de Roma, y con María, llevamos años pescando en Loreto, en Baja Sur. ¡Aquellos pescados los extraño mucho! Feliz anno nuevo-ciao Stefano /ps Giuliano" el cocinero", un gran buceador, es el mejor sastre mudo (wetsuits for underwater fishing)en Italia y el Mediterráneo.
Been watching your video for sometime. I'm trying to learn how to spear fish and your videos are making me hype to really pursue this sport. Thanks and keep posting Dan.
Thanks for watching Jester!
Wow that place looks amazing and what a beautiful place be. The food looked great aswell.
Yes bro you got one!
Your videos are getting really good!
Thanks mate!
Planned our rout today for sailing back from Korsika to our homeport in Triest...looked for some nice fishing spots on the way and stumbled over your video! Ponza here we come 😉
I love how you actually put work into your videos, Better editing than the big channels
I think I spent about 40hrs or so editing this one. I had to cut it down from over an hour initially.
Your videos are put together so well, great footage, never a dull moment, good job man!!
Thanks mate!
Keep up the great vids love em
Awesome and informative vid Daniel, made very professionally.
What a wonderful video!
Awesome footage and story telling!
Great vid mate! You do an awesome job of capturing the whole experience and really have a knack for making interesting videos, well done.
Thanks fish hunter 👍
These videos man - they are super great. Loving it.
Cheers dude!
Great scenery out there Mann, glad you finally got the grouper!
One of my favorite channels, deserves more views, good cinematography!
Cheers William!
Good stuff Dan. Weather looks awesome, beats winter down here.
I have been watching these mediterranean masters for more than 8 years on youtube. They always make it look incredibly easy. I think the challenge would be really rewarding to shoot a grouper/dentex over in the Med. Well done mate and great fish. I felt your pain with those missed opportunities. Beautiful film.
They sure do make it look easy, far from it! Glad you can appreciate them all the more after my experiences 😂
I definitely had the difficulty reinforced. I'll be taking a little gun (and a lot of hope) when I go over for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I love your vids, you explain everything love it
Duuuuuuude your vlog is on another level now! Keep it up man!
Thanks Mark, much appreciated 👍
hi Daniel, I'm from Fiji and I love watching your videos
Good video, in my hometown, hondarribia I am catching the dentex between 15-19 m in summer. This summer has been really good one, I have cought one of 5kg other 4, 5 and 3kg. Dentex and big seabasses are the queens of my waters. Like your videosss
Finally one who see where pros in spearfishing came from :D (Mediterran), There is no dive and shot here, you need to know tactic for every fish you hunt otherwise you will get only 150g fish. Sry for my bad english. Great video!
Yeah way to go you you should be so proud that you're part of a fishery that is so completely annihilated every goddamn fish from your water that there's almost nothing left! Way to go you aren't you guys great!
@@deannelson9565 is not like that but ok :)
@@denesch the hell it's not the Mediterranean is listed as the most endangered water body on the f****** planet! every single species of any significant take is collapsing as we speak! There's a reason why there's almost no fish found in that damn body of water and this is not my personal opinion! If you do even the slightest bit of research you will find out this is true! The entire thing is collapsing, every species is down by a minimum of 30 to 60% in the last two dozen years! While many other bodies of water on the planet are actually recovering the Mediterranean is dying and that's just a fact this is not personal opinion its an actual measurable and well known scientific fact!
Great adventure Daniel, loved seeing the big community dinners. I've heard soo much about how hard it is to dive the Mediterranean, your video really did a great job of showing that. Those barracuda looked like such a tough shot, nice job!
Thanks Dan, have you got any trips planned?
Yea, for the last year I've been working nonstop to save up money for a sailboat to take around the world. If you see and good 12.2m fiberglass mono hull's for sale let me know! haha
Awesome video Daniel. This looked like the trip of a lifetime. Glad you got that grouper at the end!
Thanks Rusty, now for a dentex...
Wow, persisting paid off! Congratz bro 👌👌 your vids are always such good quality and your camera movement so smooth, really enjoyable! Keep it up ☺ Love from the Netherlands
Thanks man!
Welcome to my recommended!! :)
It totally paid off, excellent video!!
I'm happy as an italian to hear that is difficult in the mediterranean, it really is!
what makes it difficult? lack of fish lol?
@@JoseRhodeIsland have you ever been on med and youre talking ?
@@savalarasxd1229 yes I have been to a few parts of the med. especially Greek islands, my fave. Went I went I never really saw any fish, just beautiful clear blue water.
I really appreciate you keeping it real!
Only way to fly 👌
The b roll was on another level. Great job Dan!
Thanks PJ, it’s easy when you’re in a location like that.
the Mediterranean Sea fish become very smart, since age of 12 years old it was very easy for me to catch some fish some KG , no days very hard I feel fish become very smart discovering fishing technic very easy its like mind reading, Daniel love all your Video and special the one for the Mediterranean Sea because i live there, hope to see more adventure in the Mediterranean
We JUST arrived to Egypt and were going to the Mediterranean tomorrow to spear fish to! Overall great video man keep it up!
He lives in England at the moment I think
Lovely video as usual, one love from Jamaica
I'm watching this one again mate. Forgive me, but I absolutely love this video
I am from Greece and here we hunt fish in two doferent ways.The first one is called psachtiri in greek in which you search in holes with torches and short spearguns under 1 meter.The second one is called karteri in which you stay low in the bottom of the sea waiting for the fish to come.Good job and video!
Another incredible video. Drone footage on point, fun to watch and I could taste the Med from here. Nice one!
Cameo this weekend from you for the next one mate 😎
13:46 the guy said: "Gianpaulo, don't you just wanna rip the microphone from him and put it on your head?"
😂
Great video now you know what we have to deal with when we going spear fishing !!!
Fine footage mate!! Nice speargun too and look like you got your fairytale ending Congratulations 👌👍
Great fascinating video.as a spearfising man in the Mediterranean I agree it is harder here than other places but sometimes when its too easy you loose interest and passion for spearfishing.Im allways amazed how clear the water are in Italy and Greece but I guess it is because of the long distance from the Nile.
Best spear fishing videos in the game! Keep it up
Cheers Johnny!
I am really enjoying your videos, keep up the good work 👌
what a great video , thx for sharing !
Thanks for watching man, glad you enjoyed it!
Your production quality is amazing mate! Keep up the great work
Thanks Jacob
enjoy watching here bro thank you again and again for sharing your spearfishing video God bless
What an amazing video Dani! Cool experience and the Italians are very generous and sociable people I really like thier culture. I wish if my country (Libya) was safe so I could arrange for you an interesting trip there with my cousin and my friends who are a masterpiece in spearfishing. Spearfishing in the Mediterranean is mostly between the rock holes and the sand banks and it is difficult to find new places to fish in. Usually not all the places are full of fish. Therefore, almost the spearos in the Mediterranean dive in particular spots which are full of fish which they either discover or were passed from the previous generation to them, or by other spearo friends. I wish you good luck! your videos are amazing.
I’ve never met an Italian I didn’t like and Giuliano is one of the most generous men I’ve ever met.
I’ve heard that only certain spots will hold fish and you just have to learn them. Like Toni knew the stones which the grouper lived in.
Congratulations on the grouper and good luck for the Dante fish
I’ve always fished in the Mediterranean since is where I always go for holidays, and yeah these fish are not dumb around here!
Well that's because there's almost no fish left! The reason why it's well known to be the most overfished and endangered water body on the planet! You know it's pretty crazy when there's less fish there per area of water then there is off of f****** China!
Love the content man! Please keep it coming
Plenty more to come Neilson.
Love your vids from Italy
Its crazy how you can hold your breath for that long, id be needing a breath as soon as i hit the ocean floor
All in the head I find.
Daniel Mann ohh ok, il just have to practice
@@DanielMann and some big ass lungs😂😂
Hey I dont spearfish but I dive for lobster and if you take time to relax and slow your heartrate u can make a 10 minute dive
@@theghost7277 I also dive for lobster conch and other crustaceans and shellfish here in the Caribbean and yes its true. Just take time to calm you heart and breathing rate.
such a pretty place you've got sir Daniel... Nice video
Niiiiceeee shot brotha! Awesome journey
grea job man i love your vids i wish there were more spearfshing vlogers like you keep up the amazing work!!

Absolutely beautiful part of the world.
Amazing video bro, it beat my expectations good job on the editing, I wish that you and fun, good job on the video again and good catch
Cheers man!

Cheers man!
Glad it went well man
Great drone shots
Finally! 🇮🇹🇮🇹
You must have the best life travelling the world and shooting fish :D sick video im pumped for the next
Thanks Marvin, I don’t do this full time, I just work hard and put my resources into travel at this stage of my life.
great story. Ponza is a very beautiful island (nearby my city too : )).
here, the fish is very suspicious and smart (and much less than other countries), so it's needed a lot of technique and patience.
great vid dan, loved it!!!
Cheers Matthew!
