British spearfishing champion - what does it take?
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 09. 2019
- The British spearfishing championship is a fiercely contested title each year. The champion is calculated by taking your best three scores out of four competitions. In this video I break down the double header competition I dived in Cornwall & Devon. What I did wrong, what I did right and strategy. I hope you can learn something from my mistakes and become a better diver. All the fish in the competition are donated to the needy. We could certainly eat all our fish but if we can help others less fortunate than us with the fresh fish we enjoy regularly, I am for that.

As strange as it sounds but I've been really addicted to these spearfishing videos lately! 😂😁
not strange at all , great vids
Millennial Travel Confessions broooo same!
Same here!
Same mate
you all probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
Morning safety briefing, 1 sec later everyone goes diving by themselves haha. Great video as always though:)
exactly my thoughts.
Yeah I was trippin on that aswell
Yay you uploaded, keep up the great work Dan
Love all you voids
Good luck, hope you get more good fish on the next competition. Stay safe as always
Thx for the video. Please make more. Love seeing you out there spearfishing.
needs a slow heart rate, drinks a coffee and runs 2k lol!
🤣🤣🤣
Awsome video man, nice to se your strategy and even how you think. Keep it up i cant wait to the next vid👍🏻
Just got a Deepgear GoPro mask from eBay. Can't wait to start making videos
Excellent video! Great fish! Looked like piles of fun. Dive safe.
Great video once again. Always a pleasure to watch, waiting for the next one!!
SpearFin thanks man!
Nice video Dan!! The most important thing is to end up safe and enjoy spearfishing!
Another awesome video Dan, have been waiting for another video as soon as this one came up I was happy!!
Trav Morgan - Hai legend✌🏼😀
Just made my evening Daniel thanks for the video. Was great to see our Cornish waters unlucky with the comp. Best of luck with the next one. Can't wait to see your next video
Nigel Barrett always a good time in Cornwall although I was disappointed to see rattler missing from the shelves of the Waitrose I stopped at!
another great video Daniel enjoyed watching this first day you gave it all you had second day you did really good look forward to the next competition.
Brilliant account of a testing competition. A bonus to see the legend Shane 👍
Daniel, you are the best. Another phenomenal vid, mate.
Great work, as always! Thanks for sharing!
Just about to buy all my gear to start spearfishing I looked at one of your other videos with regards to the gear I'll need and to be honest this is an affordable hobby for anyone that wants to do it! Been watching videos all over the world but nice to know spearfishing is going strong here in the UK maybe I'll see you guys at the spearfishing championships in the next few years! :P Thanks for making these videos Dan the man!! Hahaha
You're a inspiration to many good to see somebody enjoying life to the max! One love love! Stay blessed! :)
Another wee gem fellas well done love your work
ah mate this was literally round the corner from where I live I had no idea this was on!
great vid again mate
Awesome video Dan! Really interesting to get a good look at what goes on in a spearing comp 🙂 Might have to give one a go! “Don’t leave fish to find fish” sounds like a great tip 👌🏼
Competitions are a great way to learn. A lot of the best divers in the world have competition backgrounds.
I love when you do the comps, please do more
As a Cornishman, it’s proper exciting that we’ve had something like this down here, we never hear about this as much as boardmasters or other competitions. Haven’t watched the vid yet but good luck!
thanks for sharing Daniel
Nice video.
The weather conditions were ideal for me!!!!
Thanks again for taking us hunt with you!!!
Farewell
You did awesome amigo !! Am learning lots from watching your videos ,I spearfish too but in more worn waters !! Keep it up ,am sure you will do better next time !!
Love the vids brother keep it up
Liked the video immediately. Always know it's gonna be good when you upload mate. Your channel seems to be growing heaps as well, super stoked with that too.
Thanks Joe, slow and steady growth.
Badass to be able to make that hike pre-dive...great stuff...great vid.
Looking forward for your next video!!!
Excellent vid. love your work bro!
dan the man! love the vids brother!
Good to see you again
Bravo Daniel!
Great story Daniel. Good to see legends have normal human days too but experience, cunning and skills will eventually pay off. Thanks for sharing, cheers, Gavin.
Trailer Yacht the guys who consistently do well in these competitions are on another level. Very methodical.
So beautiful location! Cheers mate!
Nice video and catch Dan...despite all difficulties. I think that exploring Devon and Cornwall could be a great idea for the next videos "like catch and cook"?
I would be happy to see an episode when you catch up with Joe PK as you are my both favourite channels!?
Zibb I’ve plans to meet up with Joe, he makes some incredible videos.
Great video Dan and good effort in the comp. Would be great to see a video of you and Joe PK 👍
hopperpaul1 that will happen one day soon!
That viz was better than Tweed Heads on Sunday! Great vid mate!
Good luck for next weekend 👍
Great stuff cobber!
good on ya man... workin for it... great video as usual.. I would imagine you taking the time to document everything for the channel hurts your performance and is a massive time suck.. but many folks including myself appreciate it.. cheers..
It's not too bad but if it was world championships there would be no camera!
Hey man awesome video! Could you make one in the future about tips and tricks etc? Like holding breath and stuff... that would be useful!
Haha, with the "fiato corto" sweater... Good job mate, I wish we had all the bass you have in the UK here in italy... Pollock seems like an interesting fish too ;)
That “Fiato Corto” sweater mate...top class! ;-)
cofe ☕☕I watched this video about ten times because of the wonderful atmosphere among the divers Wonderful times👌👌😉
Awesome video mate
Thanks Kevin
Your videos are too good!
Goat Track!! hahaha been there done that.well done mate.
These are well produced and interesting videos.
I’m streaming them on a TV and they look good too.
Congratulation to 100.000 follower. See it right now :)
Like always Dan, a really informative and we'll put together. I'm off out for my first spearo session this weekend :D
Thanks Adam, good luck
@@DanielMann thank you mate I'll need it
You should hook up with the blokes from Fishing the Wild, in NT. They need someone with underwater filming skills, and you need to get back into some water with fish in it.
You won't get taken by a croc or tiger shark, because they have someone looking out from the boat. Safe as houses.
Those guys are producing some very high quality films. Not sure I’d do too much swimming in that part of the world. Loads of fish here in the Atlantic... in certain areas.
I like the length of the underwater shots. Really shows how you are hunting.
Thanks!
I cut a lot of them down, thanks for the feedback 👌
@@DanielMann You miss-understood me. I love the length. I will probably never go spear fishing. So it is fun to see how it is done and not just the highlight but how it is actually done. Thanks for the great content!
Another exciting blog 🧜♂️
Nice video mate, when are you coming back to Aus for a dive, it would be good to see you up in cairns spearing a few
Rod Ashford no plans for Australia in the near future.
Best and only spearfishing channel with such quality in the videos
Samir Carreta thanks Samir, you should check out some other channels like Joe PK, David Ochoa, Dan Jones, Harry Lindley, Underwater Ally, YBS.
Daniel Mann yes I will , you’re so natural everyone loves that
The good the bad and the ugly, cool to see the whole story!
Harry Lindley lots of ugly this time round 😂
I do those hikes from ringstead it’s usually quite fun and warming before a dive. There’s shit weather forecasted for Ringstead this weekend 😞
that was a great video .
Great Vid Dan, doing the hard yards mate. Reminds me of a couple of State tiles here. Last one, Pat M .... Grand Master,65 + led me and some young blokes 2kms over a mountain to dive for not much. Young blokes didn't do the distance. Looking forward to the next instalment
I feel every competition diver has attempted a stupidly ambitious trot at some stage of their career 😂
Keep it up you expired me to go out and have fun at the lake
That WAUC shirt and Hoodie though! Shane representing the West Aussies - onya cobber!
Got to thank the sponsors eh?
Interesting, always wanting to do this but worried about the strong current. hoping be able to dive like you one day!
I regularly spearfish exactly where you are mate. Gimme a shout next time 😜
Keep goin’!
ahhhh happier times before Corona stopped us doing anything
Hi Daniel, love your videos. Big fan. Have u ever thought about about trying for a bluefin in the med? I used to see a few schools when i was in the sth of france, but never had the chance to give it a go. Also something cool was the run of dorade in a town called sete. There where hundreds of fishos with guys spearing in between them. It was mayhem. Keep up the good work!
I like ur competition videos...
8:20 looks like u enjoyed a few pints 🍺 😂. Great vid and very informative.
Stuck to lemonade actually. No beers before competitions!
Well done man! Next year let’s go for the gold
Always going for the gold. With the current scores I can’t win for the year (nor was it likely!) but hopefully I can get better next year.
Daniel Mann blessings from Greece
Great job
My favourite spot to spear is a two mile hike in. But its worth it. I can't fathom running in a 7mm wetsuit though, damn!
That's great vis from where I grew up ;) lol :)
thank you for the vd
Muito maneiro! Sou do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro...
Congratulations for a good fishing.
Grazie Mario.
Nice video poma
Nice as always mate 👌 I made the exact same mistake in one of the state titles, too much walking, nowhere to get in 🤦♂️ ended up missing the weigh in...
I feel every competition diver has had this nightmare 😂
Daniel Mann especially when you have a good stringer! Worst feeling
Hey Daniel thanks for you honesty, keep the amazing content coming.
My favorite part about your videos is the genuinity, rough places that most of spearos really dive in.
What kind of setup you use for your water bottle? i've been strugling with it
Thanks Pedro. I actually twist copper strand around the neck of the bottle to form a loop on either side. Then a piece of cord between the loops and a swivel clip in the middle. Keeps the bottle dragging behind the float evenly without spinning out of control, tangling everything in the stringer.
@@DanielMann thanks for the quick reply, i'll try to replicate it!
i cant wait to get in 2 the south west coast of wellington this sunday
Gunna have to get myself some kit to try spearfishing always assumed you needed some form of license as with most things here in the UK so never looked into it.
Great video, I haven't finished it yet but just wondering, were you diving alone in the area? If so, how does that work during the competition safety wise?
Another top vid mate. I’m a new subscriber and brand new to spearfishing. Any chance you’d do a “beginners guide to UK spearfishing” style vid? Covering basics like where and when to look for fish and simple bits like breathing-up and how to dive and aim??
Hey Jack, welcome to the channel. As winter rolls around and I dive less I’ll have a chance to make these style videos for sure 👌
Daniel Mann Spot on mate. Cheers for the reply and I look forward to the vids!
Well done Daniel anyway 👍💪👋👋
Thanks Mario.
Who wants to see his mates videos of the shipwreck? Wud love to see them
You were a brave man walking the Talland Bay route.. Surprised you didn't see any flatties in Talland though. Great video nonetheless. :)
Hey Daniel, you should come here to the UAE, Abu Dhabi there is tons of huuuge spanish mackerel here but I don’t recommend shore diving
why not shore dive there?
K Y I’ve seen some photos of monsters there. Looks fantastic diving.
nice, your still like a champ sir...
I personally don't agree with spearfishing competitions, they tend to take a lot of fish from a relatively small area, of course smaller competitions are fine, but once they get to a certain size they just seem like they're doing unnecessary damage to the fish population. It just doesn't sit right with me most of the time. But anyway, as always, loved the video and I look forward to more in the future!
Each to their own. The format of competitions with one fish per species are much better than a bunch of weekend warriors smashing one target species in my opinion.
Haha love the not behd good soize reference
WTF with the cold beans out of the can ahaah love the vid
Wow was in Cornwall in 1997 but never got my gills wet , thanks for the vid Dan
It has some amazing diving and coastline.
Daniel Mann do they have abalone or sea urchin?
No abalone but urchins, lobsters, scallops, razor clamps, cockles, crabs etc.
Good day Daniel, I'm just curious about the thickness of the shaft you used for your single band speargun ,
Thank you.
hi daniel i have a question for u, i have got go pro black hero 5 installed in my mask. the angles are good but sometimes i dont film very well the shoots, the fish are over of the vision of the camera and i dont understand cuz the camera is pointing well like my eyes. in wich mode do u use your go pro for film videos? i was using in narrow maybe is this the mistake?
Hey mate I always film in wide. You’ll miss the action like you have experience using narrow or medium view. I keep the lens of the GoPro parallel with the lens on the mask.
lthanks mate
My home county and one of my many spots. Spent so much time there as a boy! Now live in Perth and also a member of wa under sea 😂
Hi David please tel me when we go spearfishing where did you put the keys of the car and personal objects
Thank you
Chloe's comment 5 seconds in "is that my mug!" 😂😂😂😅 Busted
Shane Robertson busted indeed!
Not allowed to burley shaneo..?
@@craigsthornton1 not sure to be honest, I don't think it's that effective over here, big current and shit viz, wouldn't know where it is
Dan the man!!
good shit
Daniel Mann can you make video about different spear heads and how to use them or shoud we use them at all?
