You're bold. And you have all the tricks. Running your hand down the fish's body to find where to aim! That's called resourcefulness. I hate putting my hand in their mouth, too. I got my finger crunched by a dead one one time when I was pushing it back down out of my face as it floated up on my safety stop. Ouch! I heard the crunch in my ears when he bit down
It’s good to see you back in action! I know that hurricane screwed up the gulf for a bit. When you pulled that flashlight out!😫 time to get new batteries or upgrade! I love to hear the boat banter! We need more stories! Thanks for the adventure.
@@billythekid8488 let me educate you. He and his crew are commercial spear fishing. They provide fish to all the local markets and restaurants. I’m sure your “man” enough to dive to 200+ feet on 1 breath of air, so start a channel and I will watch your adventures as well. Until then let the professionals entertain us land dwellers!
This animal ! Makes this shit looks easy bro!!!! If people only knew how much experience and work it takes to be that efficient and effective down there mad props bro !!!!!
Hi Dan... that was a hefty size Carbo for sure. I hope the lull in storm activity continues for the eastern GOM. Thanks for posting and looking forward to watching your future dives!
Mayhem! Good one, Danno! Been waiting ages to see the back up band in action and when the PH came out for the big boy I yelled yes(!) and pumped my fist in the air, ha! First rate entertainment!
Dan, al this watching I brought a battery for my suunto D6 and fitted it just to scroll through the log book...a few 100m > with one i remember 76 m down and then in 40 mts in a cave... Surprised I am still here lol stay safe.
Great video as always! Man, you gotta get a new light. That thing doesn’t work half the time you try it, at least in the videos. Nice Black. Glad you got him! Looking forward to seeing the next video!
He likes that light though because he doesnt have to cycle thru all the settings. Just on and off, but yeah lately seems like its been acting up. Dan gets use out of his gear though, thats for sure
I dont know why but im not getting notifications from youtube that you are posting. I came to your channel to see what was up. It says all notifications are on and i get them from other channels...either way, another awesome dive. I wish one day i can dive with you...ill throw in 4 or 5 hundred...maybe one day we can go. Ron from tampa. Great video
hi DAN i like you videos i was amazed by the fish you catch and i would like to see more videos from you also please give us shoutout here from philippines the lomanoy spearo
But did y'all look around that area and find more bottom? Usually big grouper dont hang around reef they can get under. Them blacks came from somewhere.....
RY, I never have. There's a lot of wrecks off Tampa Bay that are well known but I've never dove any of them. They get a lot of pressure from divers and fishermen so it's unlikely they'd be worth taking the time for us to go there. Once I retire from doing this commercially, I'd love to catch a ride and hit a few of them! Best, Dan
Love your videos Dan! Me and my buddy's were wondering if you go out for the day, or if you spend the night out there. Also, do you have a compressor, or just bring all the tanks you need? Keep the videos coming! 🔫 🐟
hey Dan, I use the Rob Allen shafts as well and make my own power heads there's room for improvement on how long it takes me to make them. Do you mind me asking what you use for the pipe and dimensions and what you're using for the inside tubing? I think the inside tubing is what I struggle most with for prep time getting it to fit into the galvanized steel pipe and fitting properly over the 7.5mm shafts.
He has the aluminum blanks made by a local machine shop , and he does the rest . He uses 1/4" air hose which works well for the 7.5mm ( .027 diameter ) shafts .
If only they would come up with an affordable technology for lots of bottom time and depth without deco (or at least greatly reduced deco)!!! Image it!!! What exactly do you mean by "may as well be on Mars"? Lol
might as well be on Mars was said because it would cost him a huge amount of extra deco time to take that fish . He was not sure but thought he had to get out of there RIGHT NOW , and he was right as he found he had used 11 min when 5 or less bottom time is normal for a dive that deep .

Dan the man ! Restoring my faith in humanity with each dive . Nice to know there are still some alphas out there. Way to go killer !
Capt. Dan, it’s always a good idea to count fingers on the way up. Really nice dive.

yup underwater is just unpredictable that's why I love it alot.
Keep em coming mate.
We finally get to see you utilize that spare band!
That video was exciting! Great job with the fish!

this is not ACTION. Why he use oxygen? free dive without oxygen is for mens not p*****s

Awesome video, love hearing you sum up your dive for your boys👍
Dan your vids are awesome, thanks for taking the time to record and upload for us. Much love, stay safe brotha.
Hi Dan... that was a hefty size Carbo for sure. I hope the lull in storm activity continues for the eastern GOM. Thanks for posting and looking forward to watching your future dives!
Nice fish brother. Man o man there were a bunch of lionfish on that spot. Makes for some interesting times trying to dodge all those spines.
Mayhem! Good one, Danno! Been waiting ages to see the back up band in action and when the PH came out for the big boy I yelled yes(!) and pumped my fist in the air, ha! First rate entertainment!
Bad ass videos Dan, you the man 👊.
Another great quality, content video. You're the real deal my friend. Great spearfishing.
That's a catch and a good dive,awesome.
I am still amazed at every video. You make it look easy!
I love it Dan!
That's a big ass black...lol..love it..keep them coming...
At home with Covid. Gonna miss mini-season. Thanks for the vid.
That is sweet! Having a backup band.... I always wondered if you ever needed it, or should say have to use it 👍
Absolutely incredible
Freaking badass brother, loved the power head shot, stay safe and keep up the good viedeos
Dan, al this watching I brought a battery for my suunto D6 and fitted it just to scroll through the log book...a few 100m > with one i remember 76 m down and then in 40 mts in a cave...
Surprised I am still here lol stay safe.
Definitely need to go to a nail spa!
Lmao!
Hey Dan, another awesome episode. Keep that mark for yourself. It's only big enough for 1 diver anyway. Cheers
Lovely one dan 👍🏿
Wow so long sir, nice dive again...always take care
Great video.
Nice catch keep safe good shot
That whas a ruff adventure😄
Waou amazing master🤙

Too cool!
I always wondered what that band under was for.
Great video as always! Man, you gotta get a new light. That thing doesn’t work half the time you try it, at least in the videos. Nice Black. Glad you got him! Looking forward to seeing the next video!

NICE....👍
Dan, really glad to see the latest dive. Awesome stuff as always! Did someone back dive this spot?
Hello there!!I'm watching from Philippines
15 minutes of un-edited awesomeness!
I love how you smashed that stupid lion fish 😂😂
Exactly. Lol
Haven't been in the water in a while, the video was the perfect addition to my morning. Nice work!
Gnarly!!!
Good catch dan
Wow? What a Big grouper
Man what a fish! You really adapt well to adversity dude, but you need another flashlite. I've seen you beat on that one enough. LOL
How does Chuck keep his socks so clean? 🤣🤣🤣
11 minutes for almost a box of fish? I'll take it
I dont know why but im not getting notifications from youtube that you are posting. I came to your channel to see what was up.

You’re a beast
hi DAN i like you videos i was amazed by the fish you catch and i would like to see more videos from you
also please give us shoutout here from philippines the lomanoy spearo
What size and brand is the harpoon you use?
look dan i understand the hustle... but buy a new light my man .. hahaaha
What model gopro are you using? I have a 5 and the battery life is absolutely horrible... also what case are you using ?
Great videos by the way
But did y'all look around that area and find more bottom? Usually big grouper dont hang around reef they can get under. Them blacks came from somewhere.....
Wow i like diving what camera did you use by the way
It was a very good hunt. There is no such equipment and no hunting in Turkey. I also want to hunt. Can you help me like you, Grand Master?
That one should name quick and fast lol🤣how much lb did they both came up to
First approval lol
👌👌
Yas I love spearfishing , you Should come to Saudi Arabia and spearfishing in the Red Sea you will be amazed
Have you ever do the bayronto would love to see some film of that I believe it's fairly close to you. Never got to go there.
RY, I never have. There's a lot of wrecks off Tampa Bay that are well known but I've never dove any of them. They get a lot of pressure from divers and fishermen so it's unlikely they'd be worth taking the time for us to go there.

Love your videos Dan! Me and my buddy's were wondering if you go out for the day, or if you spend the night out there. Also, do you have a compressor, or just bring all the tanks you need? Keep the videos coming! 🔫 🐟
His team makes 3 - 5 day trips and stay aboard . Dan personally fills his tanks on-shore and brings what he feels he will need for the trip .
hey Dan, I use the Rob Allen shafts as well and make my own power heads there's room for improvement on how long it takes me to make them. Do you mind me asking what you use for the pipe and dimensions and what you're using for the inside tubing?

Idol
What are you using to hold the power heads to the gun ?
He bought a truck bumper stop from Northern Tool , and shaped it to work .
Dan, you not putting out videos any more?
💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍
Always slobs!
🇧🇷
Fish bigger than your arm lol
😇😇
If only they would come up with an affordable technology for lots of bottom time and depth without deco (or at least greatly reduced deco)!!!
Image it!!!
What exactly do you mean by "may as well be on Mars"? Lol
REBREATHERS?
@@albertm105 I thought they were for relatively shallow diving?
might as well be on Mars was said because it would cost him a huge amount of extra deco time to take that fish . He was not sure but thought he had to get out of there RIGHT NOW , and he was right as he found he had used 11 min when 5 or less bottom time is normal for a dive that deep .
@@albertm105lol definitely not what a brokey like me calls affordable. Lol
@@daveobsoleteammo4547
You're absolutely right. Lol I just rewatched it. He barely had time to wrestle that last big one under control.
Size does Matter 🤔
Sorry to 🤣 you and your 🔦 always giving trouble!!! Give me a address and I will send you a good one :)
After that, you should definitely check the material before diving. It's all your fault, Dan.
Sometimes flashlights work fine on the boat but do not like being down to 200' or so .
You need new gloves 👍
