Can’t believe that AP got away 😭
😭😭😭
The Bahamas videos are the best.
Yes sir! I have one more trip from this summer to post!
I love the content, keep up the good work. By the way, where can I learn how to do this you guys? :)
I learned from my dad, but a free diving course is a great learning experience! The key is to dive often and work on your technique!
What cameras are you guys using to film these so clear and cinematic.
All of the 1st person footage is shot on GoPros, and I have a Sony A7III with an underwater housing for the cinematic underwater footage! The drone footage is with a Mavic 3 classic.
Also curious how deep you are diving, and how long you are holding your breath, on average? 🙏
On this trip, we dove anywhere from 20 to 60 feet. Most of the dives are between a 1:00 and 1:45
Great content, I am a new spearo and loving these videos. I'm curious why you use a pole spear rather than a regular gun. Isn't a regular gun more reliable with fish this big?
Guns are more reliable, shoot further, and are much easier to shoot than pole spears, but in the Bahamas, they are illegal. You can only use primitive spearfishing methods in the Bahamas, which is a unique challenge!
Waterworld fishing 🎣..😮❤❤.
What a vid, love u and miss u
Thanks man! Miss you too! Let’s plan a Bahamas trip!
Epic video bro !
Thanks man!
Day 1 of asking Derek to catch and release.
I caught and released an AP in this video 😭
IMPRESSIVE..BLUE FIN TUNA ON THE SPEAR
🎯💯💯
Wow GREA ❤❤
Good one promoting the freedom of California when it’s turned into a totalitarian regime. Or do you think that Navy helicopter wasn’t watching you. 😅
Lol why wouldn’t someone let you spear a fish that swims 40 miles an hour? Most people wouldn’t have a chance, and is it really better to catch it on a hook? 😂😂
Great video! You're certainly not claustrophobic! Nice work!
Hola

I think it depends on where you fish most of the time. Where I fish (lower Laguna Madre in far South Texas) is extremely shallow. You can fish a traditional bay boat but you won’t be able to get in and out a lot of areas. Most guides down there run flats boats.
Absolutely, if you need to get super shallow, a Flats Boat or skiff is the way to go!
El anzuelo algo grande.... que mierda de pesca
Nice short
And the only reason why we have a lot more people is that they we are the only ones that have the most money 9:32

These prices are crazy. I want a boat so bad but good lord these prices are crazy.
Look at used boats! Prices have been getting a bit better lately
Life over a fish 🐟 😅.
Great job Dude! I learned a lot!
Thanks!
nothing like it !! congrats
Thanks! It was an awesome opportunity!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Your dad's rep'n us more "mature" spearos! Way to go!!
He is still killing it at 65!
For me the biggest difference is if you prefer sitting or standing while driving
That’s a big difference! My Hewes has an adjustable helm that helps when I feel like standing but you can’t beat a leaning post!
Rad video. Been following Austin for years. Have not go into spear fishing (yet) only rod and reel. We are so lucky to have this in our backyard.
You guys are lucky over in socal! It’s such an incredible fishery. Give spearing a shot!
Incredible footage, dope music 💯💯🔥🔥 nice little slaycation in my backyard. Cheers boys you guys handled 💯
Great trip I love your video style see you soon
Appreciate the kind words!
Where did you clear customs
Abaco
Doesn't look like you guys even cleared customs huh? Just poaching fish. Looks like fun though
Just because it’s not in the video doesn’t mean it didn’t happen!
Great vid!! That so shot is haunting
Thank you! The shot 100% haunts me!

Is your profile pic you with a cuda 😭
@@DerekVanHookcuda with stripes
@tylerJ949 they all have stripes!
Big fish are big for a reason. They know how to survive. Thats why we get really excited and appreciate the big ones we do get. Great video.
Thank you!
That looks like a Nassau Grouper, which are protected in the State of FL. If this video was shot in Key West, the spearo could be subject to BIG fines.
No way you think this is a Nassau 😭
@@DerekVanHook looking at it on my phone, so I could be wrong. What kind?
@@DerekVanHook watched it again on the laptop. My mistake. Good catch. Nice to see good-sized grouper like that.
You’re good! This was a black grouper, it’s a shame we don’t see too many big Nassaus around, even if we can’t take them!
Great video
Thank you!
Tarter Sauce? NOOOOOOOOO! Thats like putting ketchup on a perfect steak filet> :( Please never do that to a great piece of Hog Fish. pinch of salt & pepper and some fresh lemon is all that fish needs!
It’s good both ways!
💯 🎯
I tried Hogfish taco’s in the Keys years ago and it was absolutely, hands down, the best taco that I have ever had…..and I live on Texas/Mexico border.
Hogfish is hard to beat!
