Underwater Archery | Semi-Primitive Spearfishing Catch & Cook

- While browsing around at #spearfishing videos I came across a video from @RyanMyersExpeditions where he was using some sort of Hawaiian sling pole spear that shot a free shaft (not tethered with a line). I thought it was a cool concept and had never seen anything like that before so I figured I'd throw something together a little more primitive. I ended up using a band from a pole spear, a chunk of bamboo for a handle, and a two prong stick as the "arrow." Ryan was a lot more successful with his setup but I did manage to spear a couple fish. The most challenging aspect of this setup, aside from the primitive part, was that I had to use two hands to operate it which meant I couldn't use my left hand to hold myself in position to remain still and wait on fish to approach. On the way back in, we came across a huge lobster and ended the day with a fantastic catch and cook.

This is how we should live. What an incredibly cool day.
My experience in gigging type spear fishing is it helps for the fish to be close to the bottom or the side of a rock or reef so you can press them into what is behind them. If you don't have anything to pin them against, the gig head tends to just push them around. I wound up several times with just scales stuck to the prongs and the fish swam off. Great catch on that lobster. Enormous.
Ginormous lobster! My dad once caught an octopus all by humself by hand for some celebrarion in the Philippeans. I wish I cohkd remember ehat it was for..it was either an upcoming birth, the celebration of a birth, sn engagement, or a wedding. Either way, I’ll never forgey ny fatger telling me that story. I miss him so much and he has many great adventures, which made ne veey proud to be his daughter. He lived several lives before he had me at age 45! I sm 35 and have yet ti have lived as fully, but I hope to!
Thanks for taking me along looks like a awesome trip
that is a monster lobster
Thanks for taking us along
That looks like a ton of fun
A Xander and a Clay video in one day? Hell yes brother.
That looked fun!
Come hunt the Santa Ana Mountains, the northern part of the Cleveland National Forest. We would be Privileged!!!!
Damn man, what a catch!! Take care and be well.
Spear fishing is hard enough but using a stick and a piece of bamboo. Come on man!!! Great job!!!
Definitely tougher than my pole spear!
Great family and friends adventure 😊
I think I would've stuck with the spear, but I'm 62 and wouldn't of lasted as long, looks like a good time, thanks for the ride/swim.
"KEEP ON KEEPIN ON"
You guys know how to live!..thanks for sharing .
Oh like a sling shot! Now I’m liking it even more
Love your channel! Just realized I live where you grew up! East Milton here. Small world.
Watching you and your family hunting in the ocean remind me avatar 2 movie
Here we go! Nice!
Nice hunt wish I was there also
Fun!
What are your thoughts on the leatherman arc?
Damn that looks tasty. Now I worked up an appetite. :)
Hi, Clay. You got on yourself for missing a bunch of fish and credited Fen for taking most of them. But I have to think that the considerable buoyancy of the wooden shaft you fashioned out of a sapling had to have put you at a severe disadvantage underwater. (It looked to me as if Fen's Hawaiian sling had a metal shaft.) In any event, thanks for sharing yet another fascinating challenge with us,. Best, Chris (in Maine)
Fen's hard to hold back!
Awesome video, that spearfishing rig looks a bit like some of the slingbow setups Ive seen people use on CZcams a few times.
Now I want shrimp…
Hey Clay awesome stuff, I have a question can you go with a snakey profile on a hickory stave? Thank you for your time.
Yep, absolutely
Wait where are you at though? The water looks AMAZING
Somewhere in the Caribbean
@@cleanixx5343Nah Florida
You’re getting a lot of use out of that MKC! Are you going to do a review?
👌
Got to get a better glare reducing lens for this type of video mr. Hayes. 😁
Hey brother Clay, what kind of knife is that, you are using, it looks awesome. Thanks.
AMAZING, I do wonder clay, have you ever tried smiting your own arrows? they would be much more deadly, just a question.
Try doing this same thing only construct a semi-primitive pole spear. Then you’d have your other hand free and clear to use as needed for other purposes
have you moved to Florida or you are you on a ridiculously long awesome vacation. it's neat how different your skills have to be in different areas of the world. you probably wouldn't do this in the winter of alaska. you could, but your fire skills better be on point! this is a very cool episode. thanks for letting us tag a long
We split time between Idaho and Florida
@@clayhayeshunter oh! nice nice
If youve got your gear for it then it would be amazing to see another bowhunting video, great vid! Your showing alot of ingenuity lately in your vids, a true woodsman!
Coming soon!
They call him flipper.... :)
Why do the bamboos in your area grow sideways?
Clay, i gotta ask. You obviously live a super hands on lifestyle, but do you do any specific workouts & diet stuff? Envy the leanness!
I’m just active and naturally intermittent fast I guess. Just always been that way.
Do you have any idear how old that lobster is ... Probably over 100 Years. Fisch, no problem, but I am conflicted when it comes to lobster. If they are not rare in the area, go for it. But something that have survived in the wild for a 100 year is pretty cool.
Florida lobsters grow a lot faster than the cold water lobsters most of us are familiar with. Typically they live around 15 years. this big one was old for sure, but probably nowhere near 100. Probably less than 30.
Wonder how old that lobster was? And are you able to eat the legs on one this large?
Lots of meat in the legs!
Is that an MKC I see?
What knife are you using for the bushcraft stuff?
Been using the Marshal from Montana Knife Company lately.
Won’t scraping the bark with the blade dull the knife?
Not too much if it’s well made.
You’ve probably answered this before, but what knife were you using?
Marshal from Montana knife company
Still would like to get my hands on a bow 62" bow #55@29" made by you
What was the location where you were spearfishing?
How do you kill a lobster that big?
Come hunt in Africa
Ya don't suck bro!! Try a skinny er stick
Where’s the talking?
At the end
My first real shooter as a kid. Bic pen rubber band and a wooden shish kabob skewer 🍢
adding the semi- to semi-primitive is still a dramatic stretch... it's not even semi-primitive. Goofy.
Yes it is semi primitive, city slicking poof.
😂😂😂😂 c'est du n'importe quoi. Autant j'avais bien aimé la vidéo de chasse à la chèvre avec un arc primitif performant, c'était cohérent, là c'est débile. Un équipement de plongée moderne, masque tuba combinaison et palme avec un harpon rudimentaire tout ça pour attraper un poisson plat de merde qui peut se harponner sur le sable à la seule force du bras, c'est pathétique. Donc je retiendrai que la qualité du couteau Bushcraft le Marshall et je vais éviter cette chaîne de vrai faux survival, c'est ridicule !
Well that was cool 👍
Apparently you can count the rings in a lobsters 🦞 eyestalk to determine its age. Be curious to see how old that one was. Probably 100
Very cool 👍
