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.

Cheers mate, appreciate that. definitely enough yelling and screaming 'survival' stuff out there. Feel free to comment any suggestions or feedback for me to better my videos, just want to share what i experience and if i can do that better let me know. Cheers, Ollie

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.

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!

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 🤙🏼

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

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. ❤

Also, thank you for identifying the fish. I appreciate being able to identify the fish.

Ollie you legand. Can't believe you held on to that fish. Nerves of steel bro

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.

Living on the wild side today mate, amazing fish bro. Stay safe out there Ollie and thank you for taking us on your adventures and sharing your life and passions here with us here.

you are f-ing crazy to have stuck with the kingy :-) Loved this this episode!

Where you get to call home is such a beautiful place! Epic fish, and the new boat is looking 🔥. Keep trusting your gut and stay safe on these solo missions bro!

Suuuuubbed You're a legend for not dropping that fish mate 😅

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 KZread videos these days. Thanks and please keep up the good work!

Stunning scenery, but those bronzes would have me in a poo. Great catch though Ollie, you are a brave man 😊😊

Love the scenery Ollie and the accompany music to the vid.

Ollie this one is truly a banger 🙌 your breathe hold is amazing 👏 Love seeing each upload you post! You and the boat seem to evolve in each one 💪 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 😂 Your journey has been epic man keep em coming 🙌 😎

Legend Ollie. Absolute legend. What a video. What an experience. Thanks mate.

Exciting for us ollie. Well done

Amazing content as per always Ollie!

Great episode!! love the tent system

Thanks I enjoyed that adventure !!

Wow! Totally Epic! Just keeps getting better Ollie!. Educational & Inspiring as usual.

Awesomeness absolutely thanks for the adventure stunning visuals 💯🤙

Another sick mission - so much beauty & so many bronze whalers. Stay safe mate. Thanks for sharing.

One of, if not the best video so far!! Just amazing Ollie 🙌🏻

Some world class footage here Ollie: privilege to watch.

One of your best videos to date bro, insane scenes, keep it up mate

Loved it, thanks for making and sharing your adventure with us. Stunning scenery epic spearfishing.

Best video so far!! Lovely Underwater Commentary, Cheers

Amazing ep man, incredible place to dive

Awesome adventure as always, cheers from Brazil!

I finally found "the channel". The spearo, the fish, the boat, the bells and whistles and the tricks and the nature are so genuine and authentic. Why did it took me so long to discover this gem? Shame on you youtube algo!

Love watching your vids! My brother and I watch over here in the UK. Keep making the content! 🙏

Wow, Ollie! Taking a big chance out there alone with the Bronze Whalers. Beautiful photography. Thanks for sharing. ❤

Great episode! You really make me want to get into spearfishing

Awesome friend I am very proud of the way you catch fish, Thank you for sharing your experience,,,

As far as visuals and beautiful colors, this was by far your best video yet Ollie! I loved it so much I watched it twice.❤👍👍👍

Awesome content as usual, cheers mate

Awesome video! Makes me want to chuck the suit on and get out there. Love it!

Just fantastic Ollie

and once again you bring life to our eyes that we love watching your footage that you bring and may you never ever give this up for we the people think you f#cking rock at this so please never stop 👊🏽

Great quality film. Lovely film. 👍

Was an amazing 49minutes Ollie 🤜just loved it

Ollie you have balls of steel, buy I hope you don't have to change your channel to Lefty Craig in the near future. Love the beautiful waters and adventure. Great video and stay safe.

Thanks for sharing those great experiences Ollie. also reminded me the same when traveling south in Milford, I recall I have to hide in the sleeping bag leavings only one tiny hole for breathing.

Congrats on the new boat!

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

Best one so far Ollie , not a Diver myself but love watching your content . Love the work man keep at it .🙌🏼🥳

Big balls - great tutorial on under water hunting, great video and editing! thanks for sharing!

Amazing footage

What a beautiful place man, I envy you .

So good!

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.

You could inc7a folding down bed system where you placed your mattress and sleeping bag, possibly. Brilliant video thank you so much for the journey stay safe ❤

You are awesome by what you are doing…thank you for sharing your passion and beautiful videos. Stay safe and healthy.

I love your calm demeanour discussing the sharks and then the contrast stress as you get on the boat! Always holding out for your content drop!

New to the channel and 😲 omg what an epic journey. Thank you so much for sharing your dives and adventures. I'll probably never get to New Zealand so thank you for sharing.

Another cool vid! Thanks Ollie. Would love to see some complete dives including surfacing to give us an idea of depth and down time. Interesting interview on Noob Spearo podcast too! Keep them coming

Great video and love the new boat.

Sir you are brave! My heart was racing with the bronzies chasing you!

Great vid, pretty special location!

That was brilliant.

Damnnnnnn Mannnnn 😮 respect 🫡 that was a struggle at the beginning so intense but bravo for fighting your way back to the boat 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wow!! That’s brave and awesome video! thanks

great footage Ollie...travelling to Australia again this year, seems need to visit NZ next :]

Ollie great content mate

Man that was a cool trip. Don’t think I’d have the nerve to hang onto a thrashing kingie with all the sharks taking an interest! Nice job Ollie, keep it up.

great trip

That was a big start to the dive stayed composed though Mean dive bro!

Love your channel all the way from Chicago, always exciting to see a new video posted! Hey, has any of your cooking equipment fallen overboard and you had to dive in and get it?

Got YOU King Fish !! Nicely Done, Ollie .. I clean (gut) my fish and put them in the cooler (Eskie) on ICE bottles, just like you have done. & (Ice in the gut cavity) . Most Excellent. 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.

Great vid mate.. I’m Auckland based.. but spend a bit of time on the Coromandel.. I’ve been kept out of the water for a few years now. Slowly recovering from a few medical issues.. looking forward to getting back into spearfishing this next summer..

Yea bro one of my fav adventures of yours too, keep up the mean work brotha🤙🏻 oh yea no bread with your butter to go with the sausages this time 😅

Could you please do a gear video soon! Love your content

What a life. Much respect from Tennessee USA. Bucket list to spear New Zealand and the Great Barrier…..the Caribbean has to work for me one but one day I’ll make it over to Tattoo and fish. Good vibes from the 1313Ink Family

Such a beautiful boat, such a beautiful video. I appreciate the way you go out with that kind of courage and you just do it second nature. And you always bring home a big haul of fish… you keep at it you keep at it and you keep at it, that is so impressive. It’s a good lesson in life hard work pays off . Willingness to survive… Keep pushing forward bro . XLNT.

It's funny as a South Islander watching ollie get so excited from just paua
