    This is such a great channel. Ollie's quiet style and humility are refreshing, and his expertise is wonderful to watch. Thank you for taking us along and showing us your beautiful country and its marine life.

    What an episode. Hands down best content in this genre on the net anywhere i reckon by far. Spear fishing, catch n cooks, camping, your kick back humble as dont talk too much shit like most of them lol

      I agree with you cuz, NZ is one of the only places left in the world that has fish life like the rest of the oceans used to.

      I recommend key west waterman for similar vibes - underwater commentary paired with insane spearfishing skill. For rod and reel and kayak fishing, Rokkit kit is pretty dang good too and just about the most humble guy I’ve ever seen.

    As a Pacific Islander living in the USA, I salute you! That scene with your king fish and sharks following you made me nervous as hell lol. Great video, Ollie! Keep up the great work 🤙🏼

    Ollie you’re an absolute beast. Don’t understand how you’re so confident while spearing alone. Damn impressive. Enjoy some fresh yellowtail sashimi for me!

    Ollie How Do. Just quintessential chap. Absolute admiration for the respect you afford all species below the boat and totally commendable your respect for your boat & gear. Perfectly tidy. Be very proud of yourself. With Best Regards Sam.

    Holy crap that encounter with those bronzies was intense...nearly fell of the bed😂 Always love your videos. Cheers mate👍

    • @aleho1
      @aleho1 2 місяці тому +1

      That was so intense with that massive kingy..to be doing that in that bit of water solo, that was not far off being a full blown shitshow…. In that current, solo with water in the goggles while hugging the catch while it’s still thrashing… while trying to swim against the current… with the bronze in a place you can’t see..
      That is heart pumping.
      Don’t do that solo people, this fella is very very experienced and manages to stay calm because he knows exactly what is going on based on experience. But don’t do this solo. ❤

    Another superb video, beautifully made and narrated. I also really enjoy your background music, very appropriate - not noisy and jarring like so much of the (so called) music that accompanies most UA-cam videos these days. Thanks and please keep up the good work!

  • @Tunnelrat6666
    @Tunnelrat6666 Місяць тому

    Love the boat. What a great place full of life.
    "Balls of steel" Alone spearing with so many whalers crazy stuff don't push your luck like that too many times. A big whaler took a swimmer down my local Tarthra Beach a few years back they only found small bits of her.

    Brilliant episode for sure… takes me back to when my grandparents were light house keepers there and I was fortunate enough to do boating as a kid and visit the last keepers before the light was automated. Thanks heaps….by the way, those mozzies are brutal….they come in from grouper rock, I think when the wind is Nor westerly…they are big brutes too!
    Cheers

    The tent set up is epic! Would it be possible to get some sort of mosquito netting fitted to tent cover?
    The paua and onion looked really yummy also that snapper curry ohh drooling over here 😂

Smashing open Sea urchins is a brilliant strategy to lure in big snapper. You have a top notch channel. one of the best. Boat, tricks, and intelligence. all A plus.
