It's smart to show the names of the fish

Nice Video. I started spearfishing about 3 years ago, i first got the idea after watching one of these videos (not yours specifically but similar high quality) I thought it looked like the most incredible thing to do. this summer i completed my first 45 Meter dive at just 15 years old. I have nothing but thanks, and respect for videos like these. They help get more people interested in the sport. Thank you.

I've watched this video a countless number of times so amazing I would love to see more and I can tell how much you love the fish even though you're soearfishing while admiring the fish you can and can't kill and how much you know about them!

As an older gentleman once told me, "If you kill it, you better eat it." Much respect man, I'm excited to start doing this myself.

Thank you for naming them, super helpful for new spearos

Love this vid!!!! And the music!!

Great vid! I liked how you identified the fish!

Nice video man! Appreciate you including the fish names, I'm trying to learn to ID fish. Subscribed.

Great video, nice shots, awesome song!

I can already taste it in my mouth... )) Nice catch... jealous... ;)

Wow. Great video and great fish! I hope i can swim in the water like that!

Look like a great place for spearfishing ! Would be nice to discover it. Keep the good work and go safe ! Franck.

Great video. I'm not into spearfishing myself, but I do however like to watch you guys kickass when doing it. I do the rod & reel style. KZread is so fun to post videos. Thanks for sharing!

Great video - i enjoyed it alot :-)

Those fish are not free, the time, gear, and experience to find and get them is priceless, people who spend their lives near the water have never even stuck their heads underneath have no idea what they are missing. When people know you can get fresh fish and lobster like that, they all become very nice to you all of sudden. You can either pay for the near rotten fish at the market or get it on your grill or pan before the sunset. By the way, that is a nice hole, not too many of those fish were spooked or darted off as soon as you came in range. As long as you know bottom structure, known reefs with sand and thick kelp, there will be fish. I do miss being able to park and kick out a few hundred yards to get on a spot, life, work, location, and family makes these trips very rare. Keep up the videos, very entertaining and memorable.

wicked nice vids! great shots, the stone shot at the beginning was really nice.

You're a great shot man!

I speared a halibut about 30 years ago in Carlsbad while freediving. It was in the lagoon area where the old nuclear plant used to be and the water was always warmer than the surrounding water because they would use that lagoon to flush the nuclear reactor with to keep the temp down. This in turn warmed the quite a few degrees more and the marine life would just swarm to this area. The halibut I speared was about the same size as this one, but I didn't have a camera to take a picture of it, unfortunately. We didn't have cell phones with cameras on them at that point in time, but I wish I would of at least had one of those disposable one-time-use cameras they used to sell in that time period. I missed out big time because I only have a tale to tell without proof. I sure did have a great day and I will always remember that until I exhale my last breath in this physical realm. God bless

Great video great song keep living life man God bless

awesome last picture with that fish really awesome!

Nice music choice and vid keep it up

Yewww sick video Kodiak

That song takes me back.

I am from Barbados now living in England I miss diving and I want to get back in the water cant wait to get back to what i love. I cant wait to get My 75cm thunder bolt and my Seac Twin fire back in the water great video bro

Good job man. God music big fish

great vid, I am a jersey-east coast diver, be more than happy to team up one day in your waters,keep me posted ...great job spearo

Yea man, haters gonna hate but I say great video. Beautiful life and looks like your living it to the fullest. Always wanted to do this. Dove for abalone once, it was cool. Thanks for sharing. Maybe I'll see you on the Cali north coast one day.

Halibut are actually separate from flounder but very closely related along with some other species of flat fish. The pacific halibut can even reach 500 pounds but most flatfish are smaller within the 1-15 pound range!

The kelp beds along Santa Cruz are full of halibut, white sea bass, ling cod, and all sorts of rock fish. No divers, for some odd reason. We catch 20# halibut in the surf and 35# white sea bass in the kelp.

I get it, but I don't shoot them, not in California. I fished rod and reel for 50 years, I recently began taking spearfishing on as another pursuit. The biggest difference between sportfishing and spearfishing (besides being in another environment) is the ability to select your catch. Calicos are very good eating, I used to keep them along with everyone else, until I found out more about their reproduction traits. I'm not trying to be a dick, just passing along a little bit of information, please don't take it as a personal attack. Lol

great vid 👍

badass! :)

I noticed you have a magenta filter on your camera...they actually worked pretty good. :)

did anyone get response to where in California coast this was taken? thanx!

It's crazy how different calico grow...I nabbed one 22" 7.2 lbs......

Where at and when's the best time to head out there? Tide? Temperature? Season?

great video! very well put together. looks like you have it dialed in. I work underwater and have never spear fished, how you are doing it looks like a blast, as long as a whitey doesn't want your stringer.

Kodiak Morasky Hey Kodiak did you get that flaty in one of the coves. My uncle and his buddy went out in the cove one day and got 6. I want to shoot one soon do you have any tips. I am one of the local groms and i live in Torrance.

Amazing bro

Great video! I definitely enjoyed watching, Have you had any close calls with whites?

if you don't mind me asking what depths are you seeing most of the larger species at? It seems few and far between to see that many larger fish where I am going. Might be my spot also...

@KodiakThunder

10 жыл бұрын

you will learn what spots are good for what fish and at what times the more you dive, however you are right they are few and far between. This video is actually compiled of 2-3 dives I believe! more time in the water will mean more opportunities at the larger trophy fish!!

I live in San Diego mission Valley. Do you ever do any tours on how to spear fish for newbies? Definitely will pay you for your time.

Are you using a gopro? And if you are where exactly are you putting it whole filming . thank you

Nice vid man . Just started spearfishing myself are there any methods to holding my breath like you do?

This is the man we were afraid of in Finding Nemo

Hi Kodiak, great video! I know we spearos are very reserved with our fishing spots, but I'm moving to Santa Barbara in one month and I'd just like to know if I'd be able to see some big fish there... I don't mind going deep; are there some deep reefs with caves that I can check out? KZread videos of Santa Barbara show only very small fish in the shallows, but maybe is just because of the spearos skills... well let me know if we can talk a little. Cheers

I've seen sheepshead show up in Monterey over the last decade or so, but dam are they cagey, haven't been able to spear one yet, are they good eating?

Maestro.

Great video! Do you us a filter for your camera?

I swam out south Torrey pines at North Black's flat Rock I fasted red meat two weeks went out too far saw a creature too large to identify.. I got three sheepheads

What is the bag limit per species? Very nice camera work!
