I am in the Army and was stationed in Hawaii I was battling a brutal divorce and self medicating with Alcohol every night to get by. One day my friends came over, helped me clean up my pig-sty of depression and made me go spear fishing with them. I immediately fell in love with it. I stopped drinking and bought all my own gear. Ever weekend I was itching to get in the water. It was so therapeutic being under the water and not hearing all the noise of our working world, both literally and physically. I never harvested more than I wanted for lunch or dinner and always went for a healthy species of fish. I moved again but kept that mindset of getting out in nature and connecting with it. I have never been religious, but there really is something spiritually connecting about submitting yourself to nature.

Welcome to one hobby fishing from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🤝🎣🎣🎣

ahh yes flounder. it has become my favorite fish. I've had most fresh and saltwater fish and my favorite so far has been flounder and sea trout. white buttery fish absolutely delicious. the ones we catch here are summer flounder i believe. tan and green spots. they are actually hard to filet but you get 4 filets per fish. where they are sideways you go down the middle of their top and bottom and cut in underneath the filet. i catch live shrimp and small mullet as bait but have also caught them on white artificial shrimp too. they actually grab their meal and sit and eat it slowly back on the bottom for about 60 seconds, then you set the hook. they call them door mats around here.

bela pontaria.....pescaria top ... lugar maravilhoso, Deus abençoe,

Best fish I ever had was fresh hake in Sweden. I bought it at the covered market in Uppsala. I took it home and pan fried it and it was stunning. It melted like butter in my mouth.

I've had that fish many many times. It is super tasty, super delicious. One of my favorites.

I'm used to calling them flounder, and they are usually the most sought after eating fish in the bays and beaches. They are really delicious stuffed with crab and other good stuff.

Anonymous Citizen... We use a gig to catch flounder in the TX/LA mud flats...

When I lived in Seattle WA, we went fishing & caught whole lot of flounders. Delish!

I love your videos Dude. I always dreamed of doing things of that nature. God bless you.

That guy tryna steal your shoes but you still gave him that fish, what a legend you are!

Love living your adventures with you. How cool, it’s a dream. From Dallas, TEXAS!

Well done. One of your previous followers hit the nail on the head. Rictus, 4 fillets from that one fish. A sharp blade… forget about the bones. 8/10 on my rating.

Feeding the sharks and giving the locals fresh fish even though he was going to 'borrow' your shoes is definitely making peace with the karma gods ;)

Flunder is a clear 9/10. When you let a tuna steak out of judge, maybe even a 9.5 many bones, sometimes worms. very tasty lovely episode, love what you do, best stuff on yt atm

Another great video man!!!! Thank you..

We dont really eat that fish because it has lots of tiny bone, and the fishermen would normally leave them and catch other fish like mackerel that dont hv lots of tiny bone.

Peacock flounder(left-eyed) is what you speared, when I lived in Alaska we caught halibut, a right eye fish. in the ocean caught a 50 pounder once. it was real hard to clean and process, kind of chewy too.

Wow beautiful views and water so clear..i enjoying watching from western Australia

Beautiful fish bro and lovely reaction to the local dude attempting to steal the shoes, much respect! You got a peacock flounder (Bothus mancus). Never had it, but they are related to the European turbots (closer than to the European flounders), which are also beautiful eating and at least a 9.5 to me. Love the vids, keep it up 💪

Super cool video Cavy! Legend for always sharing your adventures! BIG BIG MAHALOS 🤙💪👊👍🎣🎣🎣🎣

Too right mate! Thats why I was wondering how you speared the fish, normally it totally blends in with the sand. Lucky it was swimming👍

Flounder is extremely tasty tho they are very difficult to catch especially due to their camouflage. Another cool fact about flounders is that unlike most fish they have both their eyes on one side of their body so they can lay flat in the sand and ambush prey.

I always choose flounder at the seafood restaurant !

Mate that was brilliant. I use to eat sole/flounder with my grandfather and he swore it was his favourite fish to eat and he lived on an island most his life. There is definitely many different kinds and the 'sole' fish looks like a footprint where the flounder is more round with pronounced fins etc but both taste good.👍

Love tuning into your vids. If I may request, please show more footage of the gutting and cleaning of each fish! Cheers!
