- Check out Tim's side of the story! • World Record Given Awa...
This is a story I've wanted to share for the past six years. Witnessing this spearfishing world record goes down as one of my most memorable days diving ever. In this video I share my thoughts on why this was such a monumental fish for me, even though I didn't spear it myself. I did manage of a few nice fish of my own this day including a personal best red emperor. Red emperor are Lutjanus sabae, the same family as the red snapper that get taken on the west coast of the USA.

What would you do if you saw a world record fish and someone asked to dive on it?
I'd have already shot it if i saw it :)
Knowing me, miss it point blank haha
Great video mate
@Luke Batiste, I’ve got footage that supports that claim 👀
@@DanielMann Snapper?
This man just made a mini documentary about catching a large fish. What a legend.
Mini Moby dick
And it was interesting asf
It makes sense hes austrailian 😂😂
Ik fr🔥
Next upload, How I caught a Megalodon
(Yes i'm 9 months late to this)
I can't believe tim let him shoot that red what a guy... you can hear him die a little inside when hal says he is shooting it.
Hal's a dickhead tbh
Ur right
Typical American
@@BarraKadesWetdreams can you not be such an ass most of us are not like that
@@wayneamelie278 yeah I mean I get him asking but when he said it’ll stay for when I go shoot it I’d be like Forsure bro. Also would never ask if he’d been looking for it that long.
the ethics of how hal behaved aside, i think people are failing to realize tim likely found great pleasure in allowing hal to get this fish on his 21st birthday. i know it's unfathomable for most of you guys, but doing kind things for people actually feels really good
Truer than true,you can't teach someone to be gracious, hope the young man learns what an act of generosity that was and behaves accordingly the rest of his life.
Yeah, it's the same reason people love watching when others open Christmas presents that they gave them.
Yeah I would’ve been so happy to give that memory to someone forever
Tim is a legend. When I was young my father let me shoot a large whitetail deer, bigger than any he had harvested. On that day, my father was the hunter and I just the weapon he chose to use.
Tim was the hunter who let his protege Hal seal the deal, giving great fulfillment to both men and creating Tim’s legacy.
true, though I would have shared the record (maybe he has IDK)
Tim was way classy letting Hal shoot it. Watched the exchange between Tim and Hal again and couldn’t find the part where Hal “asked Tim if he could have a crack at it” as Dan puts it at 4:46. All I saw was Hal bulldozing his way into shooting it. Birthday or not, that’s absolute trash behavior. Otherwise, an absolutely incredible video.
Yeah agreed
Yeah it broke my heart when i heard that he even found the spot
No matter what you say, we all know this keeps Tim up at night
No, a man like this sleeps better after something like this, he’s a real man, that legitimately wants others to be happy! Most won’t understand this, most aren’t real men, they’re immature adolescent boys that think they are men, but are sorely mistaken! Guess what your comment tells me about which one you are?!!
Tim is a great man and really handled it all like a true sportsman & legend! Tim did the homework & even found/saw the fish too. Hal was a dickhead for forcing his way into taking it... Tim even said that the fish would wait for him to shoot, but Hal kept shouting that he would shoot it. That's the difference between a legend and a spoiled boy. Daniel: you should've told Hal to drop it.
Agreed.
Rotor Chris Difference between the humble Aussie and the loud American . Seen it sooo many times on dive boats .
ScubaJunkie
I do not disagree with at all. Hal was a greedy absolute “A$$ Hole” who would be well served to learn some humility. The thing is though, people like “Hal” come in all flavors and nationalities. Can’t stand being around people like that. Don’t be a “Hal”
Cheers to Tim for being such a stand up fellow. Take a lesson “Hal”
Ive dove with Hal before. Im not surprised with what i saw here. Same story when we took him on a trip to the bahamas...
@@scubajunkie6591 listen man there are humble americans and loud aussies don't get that twisted either. i can't help but agree however this particular american was spoiled and that this aussie was an actual living legend
Hal: My Turn!
Tim: That red’s freaking big!
Hal: I’ve never shot a red
Tim: That Red will stay there for when I go down and shoot it
Hal: Haha, I’m shooting the red!
🤦🏻♂️Please, don’t be a Hal 🤦🏻♂️
Unfortunately, Hal sounded and acted like a spoiled, selfish and entitled American man-child. Please don’t let his behavior, attitude or ego be a representation for all of us Americans. That Aussie was pure class.
Tim you are the true legend of this video. You are a selfless man and we all know that it was your fish and your world record. Tim, you are a class act my friend 🤙🏼
He wasn’t American but otherwise yeah on the dot
I cant imagine doing that to a friend who has always wanted to shoot a red, shameful
10/10 comment
@@Pliko3 its said in the video that he was America tho?
@@mustafatrpan1616 no it doesn’t and listen to his accent and how he says aluminum
This has got to be the greatest spearfishing video on the internet.
Caleb Martin absolutely! He is the Mann!
Thanks Caleb, too kind!
Was about to put up this comment myself!
Between you and Brodie I have decided to win the lottery and move to Australia and do nothing but fish and spearfish. I actually just went fishing on a boat for first time in 7 years a few weeks ago because of all of you guys' videos. I love it.
Brodie moss? I don’t know how anyone can sit through a whole episode of his, it’s beyond cringe. His fake enthusiasm and personality is unbearable
Tim is a good guy. He's the real world record holder of the Biggest Red Emperor.
8:48 u can see Tim die a little when he realised what he just gave away
Moral of the story tim is a man of heart and soul. He gives more then he takes and shares his heart with those around him. Blessed to have people as amazing as him in this hobby and in this world. Regardless if his mate speared the record I still see it under his belt
Yea bro there is always some adventure that will get everyone excited
Mate i've watched all your videos, and each time I'm more and more blown away by the quality. Not just of the picture in itself, but your videos themselves. The commentary. The music. The structure. Love your work man
Cheers Aschell, much appreciated.
It’s a true dream of mine to get the privilege to dive with Tim McDonald. An absolute legend of spearfishing. Another awesome vid Daniel. Much love bro! Keep the vids coming.
The most inspirational Spearfishing vid ever! Well done Dan👍 really tells a story. Bloody awesome!!
Thank you Chris, I just hope it inspires people to dive wherever they are in the world.
Tim is such a loyal friend.
What a good sort😁
6:07 check out that good sized grouper as well. Great vid, the young lad should be more humble and grateful for the o.g. being so generous with him. In my country there is no way a kid would get an easy pass like that without a sweat, Tim is a legend. Amazing vid btw!
You tell a great story. Well done.
Good man, your friend Tim. I doff my cap with respect.
So epic man. I absolutely love the froth, team work and excitement of all the crew. This is definitely what dreams are made of 🙌🏼
I am not a spear-fisherman YET. But, because of Daniels videos I will be. I just love and appreciate the passion and spirit Daniel puts into his videos. Buying gear now.
Wow this is what I love about the sports "selflessness" no ego involved. The fact that it's a priced fish and he has been looking for them and let Hal shoot it. Pretty dope.
The last 2-3 minutes of this video hit different. Couldn’t have explained it any better Daniel. Amazing job
Thank you! Went for something different on this one, glad you liked it.
Somebody should have Said no to hal om this situation and lade Tim shoot it hun self...
This by far is the best and truest representation of what it means to be a spearo and a true gentlemen. Great job Tim selflesness at its finest!
Send some of this footage to the GoPro awards and 1 million will be coming your way
Not even close
Fishing is so great. Whether it’s a small pond or the biggest pond on the planet you never know what you may catch. Love this video ❤️❤️
The Passion on this vid is tangible, perfect edit, loved it dude.
Thanks Jacko, would love to see what we could shoot together following these guys around!
Might need a bigger boat 😉
@@DanielMann hi bro i hope you can spare me some of your speargun i really really like it... ive always watching your videos and it so amazing 😊😊 ..
god bless bro more fish to spear... greetings came from Philippines 😊😊
can't held back tears at Daniel's reaction😥, so happy for this legends..
Most underrated CZcams channel: so professional and cool!
This tim sounds like a really beautiful soul. What a kind man. Faith in humanity restored
God damn, that video causes legit goosebumps. You truly are the very best ambassador for spearfishing, Daniel!
Unfortunately I will never be abled to experience spearfishing by myself due to the regulations in Germany, but your videos still strike an undescribable passion deep inside me.
Thank you.
Thanks Ti Mo! Why not drive up to Denmark? Some great diving up that way to be had.
May I say that this is the best made video of all time. Every single part is absolutely perfect. The storyline, the videography, everything, I've watched this video at least five times, and every time it send tingles down my spine. Wonderful job.
Cheers Thatcher!
This has got to be one of my Favourites, if not my Favourite video you have ever done. Period. Thank you - inspirational, educating, entertaining and downright brilliant!
Thank you, I put a fair few hours into this one!
Daniel Mann You can see that! All the real people here appreciate your efforts! Your one of the most underrated you tubers out there yet you haven’t given up! Just a good guy making great videos! Thank you
Prob watched hundreds of spear vids and not exactly sure why but this is my favourite spear video of all time. Awesome guys!
Thanks Nick!
HOLY CRAP!! MANN that's a big red emperor! to me one of the best eating fish in the oceqan along side Bladchin groper and coral trout! well done boys!
They are one of my favourite too. Even a 13.65kg one I ate was spot on.
@@DanielMann yeah absolutely gorgeous, im in Perth so we are too far south to get them but when we catch them we head Exmouth! if your in perth anytime soon let me know id love to met you or even have a fish/dive with you!
What an EPIC fish!
Congrats to Tim,to the team and thanks for the great documentation of the catch!
You are used to world records by now Dimos, nothing special 😂
@@DanielMann Every World Record is a special occassion!
To be there the exact time and place with that fish is fate and every spearo that has dedicated his life searching for his trophies, knows that!
There’s no record in the world worth more than growing closer to your friend. At the end of the day my name on a piece of paper really isn’t a big deal to me.
This video will go viral soon, I’m calling it
We’ll see, it has certainly received a lot of views in the last month.
@@DanielMann Good luck!
♥️ incredible fish, incredible vid. No one does it better than you on CZcams. Keep the good content up! Quality over quantity 😉
Yes, its an incredible fish, lets KILL it just because we can, lets record it and share it with other members of our species to show how easily we can exploit and slaughter the innocent of other species for fun and sport....
@@onionrings8896 it seems you know nothing about spearfishing. You should inform yourself a little bit before posting those comments. We are predators, but we can be smart predators, and spearfishing is the best practice for fishing and feeding yourself in a responsible way.
Malik Baba Aïssa Youngbloods does it better
@@AimlessCuz nope, Daniel has a better storytelling and is not in some kind of vlogging. Plus I'm french and understand better Daniel than YBS because the last one has a strong accent.
Malik Baba Aïssa this guy is boring to me, he just sat there talking about catching one fish for 12 minutes. Youngblood’s does a whole bunch of different stuff in one video which is why i PERSONALLY like him a lot better. Just my opinion.
The term a fish of a lifetime gets thrown around quite flippingly lmao i love this guy
This is storytelling on another level! Big cheers to you guys ❤
I honestly can't count how many times i've watched this and also Tim's perspective.sensational
Glad you’re enjoying it 🙌
Have been waiting for this footage to drop... what a day! Congrats gents👌
It's been a long time coming. Some nice winter diving around the corner soon for you boys?
Daniel Mann hopefully mate! But the water gets a bit chilly for us when it drops below 28 degrees🥶 haha
@@BacktoBasics my dive trip next month... I'm hoping the water makes it above 5ºC
That’s properly the best CZcams video I have ever seen
Thanks Kaiden 🙌
*talking about how deep the guy can dive*
51m that’s like 150ft. Absolute insanity.
He's shot fish deeper :-)
Wow wow and wow
@@DanielMann how does that even happen - how do your ears cope?
Vision Invisible you equalise pressure by swallowing
ollie wills what do you mean swallowing? Like swallowing the air?
Dude, you should direct a movie or something.
this video is truely majestic and wholesome.
I direct all my own CZcams videos 🤷♂️
Dan the Mann at it again... this episode got me so hyped on what spearfishing is all about! you guys have some crazy depth dives super envious definitely reminded me the chase, the efforts, burning fuel to find spots that may or may not have fish list goes on and on but in the end it makes it worth while!!!
I get envious of the depths my mates can dive but at least I get to be there and film them when they come back up!
I tried to hear Hal give Tim a thank you for the opportunity or something that sounded like gratitude. Nothing! You Aussie are to nice, I lived in the US for several years and it is a cultural thing. Hal is already bragging about the WR in bars and Tim´s dream and effort that he spent so many years on is not spoken of unfortunately . Tim you are a great man and Hal you know what you are.
It's not like that at all. It was Tim's choice and Hal didn't really know the significance of the fish only being in the country a few months. No one has any regrets and Hal is a very humble young man. I'd happily dive with him any day and look forward to the next dive with him.
What a day! Great vid mate. Tim is one of a kind that’s for sure, love diving and learning from him.
An absolute beast in the water and the most selfless person I've ever dived with.
@@DanielMann you guys should collab and make a video!!!
Tim is a legend. We don't deserve Tim. Amazing video. Gave me chills. 10/10 man. Give Tim a beer for me.
He doesn’t drink but he’d smash a can of coke 🙌
@@DanielMann 12 pack on me!
This was really something. I'd give it two thumbs up if I could and God Bless Tim.
This is the stuff of legend, a homeric day you all had and now being shared for everyone's entertainment, just brilliant mate. Really, really good. You're headed in the right direction Dan. Straight spears.
That’s crazy man! Well done, I’ll be there one day
You didn't muck around on this one. Produced perfectly and the footage you and Hal caught of the fish.. Jaw dropping. If you love shooting fish as much as I do, and I'm sure plenty do. This is the pinnacle right here. 4 years wait and I am very very satisfied 😍
I can't believe Tim hit that Pearly in 51m.. That is just insane in itself, along with all of the fish taken that day. What an amazing story.
51 m.. I have a lot to learn. I can't wait to work my way to the 50m mark.
This fish was shot in 2014, been a looooong time coming!
How is someone gonna say they’re gonna spear a fish that someone already had eyes for. Straight up trash move, Hal. Hope Tim the best on his endeavors.
This is easily one of the best fishing videos that I've ever seen. The cinematography, music, and editing were on point, but the stories are unforgettable. I experienced chills several times throughout this video, and just as often I found myself staring at the screen with my mouth hanging open. What an absolute privilege to be able to witness that trip, and I can't wait for the next one.
Thank you!
Thank you Dave, glad you got out of it what I was trying to show 🙌
Broo I’ve been waiting for another fire vid, your video quality is insane, I stared a channel out in Hawaii but I’m always blown away by how good your editing is🤙🏼🤙🏼🔥
Thanks man!
Hanapaa Action Thanks man!
Absolutely beautiful video. Would love to get the chance to dive with Tim some day.
Thanks Ryan, been learning a lot from your recent videos 👌
Hal should feel bad for being selfish a bit hahah
??????????????
After seeing allmost all of your videos, this is absolutely the best. Amazing fish, story and videoskillz! 👏🏻👍🏻
Cheers Dani! One of my favourites too.
Tremendo danieeel!! Una maquina
Best spearfishing video ever
Thanks Rowan!
enhorabuena Daniel preciosa captura y en un fondo muy meritorio, saludos desde Fuerteventura
Brother? My family name is ventura hehehe joke
Amazing fish and storytelling mate 🤘. Good job 💪
Everyone acting as if Tim couldn’t of just said no... don’t feel for him one bit but was still a very nice thing for him to do
Have*
Thank you so much for your amazing story telling and awesome videos.
When I see a fish of size like this I begin to wonder how old they are. The last big bass I had must have been about 20 yrs or more. Shame they don’t grow as fast as my 13 yr old son. We’d all be bagging whoppers. Feelings for fish ? I must be getting old I sometimes find myself filming them and they don’t swim away 😁 so I givem 5 mins or so to decide wether they want to come back to my place to see my kitchen 🐟👹 well done mate 👍👍always a pleasure to watch your vids
I talked to a marine biologist about this fish. Due to its usual size and location it was probably a young male. The females don’t grow as fast or big as they spend too much energy spawning instead of growing. This guy was focused on nothing but eating and getting hence. Could have been as young as 15 years.
Daniel Mann imagine being the fish your just chilling as one of the biggest of your species and 3 mad lads stop above you. 😂
@@leom3974 Bad day for that fish...
The coolest part for me is that their doing all this on a breath hold
fishing for your own food is actually better in a way as it decreases demand in fish so fishermen who kills thousands of fishes per day to feed buyers will have to fish less if more people started to fish for their own food. And thus concluding that this fishing for your own food is actually saving the ecosystem.
That's like the huge tarpon I landed up near Lucinda FNQ, I got it on the bank, put my rod down to take a picture. Next minute it jumped up, spat the lure and ended up bouncing back in the water. I've caught many 60cm+ tarpon which are big for Australia but this thing was at least 1m+. I could of been salty as this would of been an Australian record for 6kg line class and just a monster tarpon in general, I'm just happy I got to see it. Inspires me to see whats out there and push normal beliefs of what size fish grow too. The same spot I caught a 1.5m Queenie and 1.7m barracudda. Lots of casting haha....
I love stories completely shattering what people think is possible!
Damn bro, fished the area twice
Didn't know there were beasts like that there aside from big group etc around the jetty
Based in townsville if you ever want someone to fish with
Such great technique stunning video makes me wanna go back and try my own hand at it. The vibes, wakes my instinct I wanna go, setup a playlist with Metallica and Delta Parole and go off into my own world right this moment.
Love Tim❤️ Absolute Selflessness. As rare as that WR Red!!
I feel bad for that fish took him so long to get that big
Exactly what i was thinking! Must’ve eaten alot of fish!!
Wonder how long ? Anyone know how old these live for?
I'll just join other guys in saying - this is the best spearfishing video on the internet. Well done Daniel!
Cheers Ivan!
Be good to let all the big old fish live and just stick to the bread and butter basics...
As a fisherman i cannot say that it is the biggest we got more bigger on that here in the Philippines and it is truly rare to catch that fish in any kinds of fishing method but i love the video👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼♥️♥️♥️
Wow - not sure what I was expecting with this one, but I was blown away. Great story-telling, and a real homage to a fellow spearo!
Red Emperor is one of the Amazing fish, with Amazing name and comes with an Amazing story...
Jesus man what an edit! Felt like I was watching a Netflix originally documentary or something!! Great storytelling. Keep up the epic work my dude!
Cheers Matthew, thought I’d try a different style out on this one.
@@DanielMann I liked it. You really set the scene and as an avid reader you painted a pretty sweet picture!
FAVOURITE VID!!!
GOOSEBUMPS bro..
An amazing fish and great narrating.
Best channel on Yt by far.
I can't wait to start exploring here in Darwin.
Once again, keep up the great vids.
Thanks mate!
All I can think is WOW Congrats guys What a incredible fish amazing !! 41 metres WOW !! this Has inspired me to hit some reefs out Deeper I've been looking at . Best vid I've seen on youtube in ages
Thanks Becky, stay safe.
DUDE! Absolutely loved this video! Different style of editing but it worked so well and congrats to everyone on the epic day
Cheers Laith, I was worried the black backdrop was a little too dramatic 🤷♂️
@@DanielMann Definitely dramatic but it works with the story, plus fits that documentary vibe you were going with
World record spearo generosity for Tim!
Yes indeed!
One of the best video of spearfishing currently on the internet. I can not believe me getting stuck in the UK...
I love fish stories! This video is great!
Cool video Daniel. Great story and incredible fish and footage. Nice one.
Cheers Barret!
More of these please Mr Mann great footage, like the interview style of filming and great soundtrack. Also Tim Mcdonald sounds like one of the biggest legends ever
Thanks Joel. Unfortunately these are hard to make as not many stories are quite as epic.
@@DanielMann Yes it was an epic story hope your well and been able to get out on the water.
You guy's are amazing, grate video. For your buddy to give up the chance of the record for someone else. That was big of him. You done ever come across people like that anymore. People always think of themselves now adays
Respect Tim 🐠
Be like Tim
THAT S WHY SPEARFISHING 🙏
Fantastic spot and fish👏
If you visit the south of France in the future, make me sign. I will bring you🤝
Respect for tim, and thanks for you dann
Thanks for watching 🙌
** WoW ** Great shot nice fish
Whar a great story! We have nsome amazing people in our spearo family
watching this for the 4th time today just amazes me everytime, the size and quality of all fish in this video is unreal
Thanks Austin, glad it’s not just a one watch throw away video 👌
I would have to say Tim's the man !!!!
Unbelievable, I knew since I started watching your videos that you have something special, but this time you really outdid yourself. Bravo sir!
Thanks for sticking around 😬
Mann this story almost bring tears to my eyes...tim is a spearfishing hero in my books...never know when its goin to be your day.
He is something else, definitely miss diving with him!
@@DanielMann hope you make a trip in the future.
I can appreciate all the effort involved in making this and tracking your adventure. Absolute banger of a catch! Hats off,well done lads
