    What an episode. Hands down best content in this genre on the net anywhere i reckon by far. Spear fishing, catch n cooks, camping, your kick back humble as dont talk too much shit like most of them lol

    • @aleho1
      @aleho1 Před 5 měsíci +5

      I agree with you cuz, NZ is one of the only places left in the world that has fish life like the rest of the oceans used to.

      @Rainersherwood Před 4 měsíci +2

      I recommend key west waterman for similar vibes - underwater commentary paired with insane spearfishing skill. For rod and reel and kayak fishing, Rokkit kit is pretty dang good too and just about the most humble guy I’ve ever seen.

      Thank you, after watching this id rather use takle gear 😅

      Cheers mate, appreciate that. definitely enough yelling and screaming 'survival' stuff out there. Feel free to comment any suggestions or feedback for me to better my videos, just want to share what i experience and if i can do that better let me know. Cheers, Ollie

  • @connielasher3126
    @connielasher3126 Před 5 měsíci +26

    This is such a great channel. Ollie's quiet style and humility are refreshing, and his expertise is wonderful to watch. Thank you for taking us along and showing us your beautiful country and its marine life.

  • @mram7634
    @mram7634 Před 5 měsíci +9

    As a Pacific Islander living in the USA, I salute you! That scene with your king fish and sharks following you made me nervous as hell lol. Great video, Ollie! Keep up the great work 🤙🏼

  • @Rainersherwood
    @Rainersherwood Před 4 měsíci +9

    Ollie you’re an absolute beast. Don’t understand how you’re so confident while spearing alone. Damn impressive. Enjoy some fresh yellowtail sashimi for me!

  • @handyandy6887
    @handyandy6887 Před 5 měsíci +13

    Holy crap that encounter with those bronzies was intense...nearly fell of the bed😂 Always love your videos. Cheers mate👍

    • @aleho1
      @aleho1 Před 5 měsíci +2

      That was so intense with that massive kingy..to be doing that in that bit of water solo, that was not far off being a full blown shitshow…. In that current, solo with water in the goggles while hugging the catch while it’s still thrashing… while trying to swim against the current… with the bronze in a place you can’t see..
      That is heart pumping.
      Don’t do that solo people, this fella is very very experienced and manages to stay calm because he knows exactly what is going on based on experience. But don’t do this solo. ❤

  • @stoicnavigator
    @stoicnavigator Před 4 měsíci +3

    I finally found "the channel". The spearo, the fish, the boat, the bells and whistles and the tricks and the nature are so genuine and authentic. Why did it took me so long to discover this gem? Shame on you youtube algo!

    • @olliecraig-primalpursuit
      @olliecraig-primalpursuit  Před měsícem

      Because I didn't Write 'Survival Challenge' or some other bullshit. Please share around to like minded! As like you said, Algorythms don't favour such content. Cheers!

    @brianandrews1760 Před 5 měsíci +4

    Another superb video, beautifully made and narrated. I also really enjoy your background music, very appropriate - not noisy and jarring like so much of the (so called) music that accompanies most CZcams videos these days. Thanks and please keep up the good work!

  • @opetermcc
    @opetermcc Před 5 měsíci +4

    Love the scenery Ollie and the accompany music to the vid.

  • @lnegron63
    @lnegron63 Před měsícem

    I've been watching some of your videos and I'm amazed at the amount of fish that congregate on the shallow reefs. Thank you very much for your hard work, and for putting out such outstanding videos.

  • @jimr5855
    @jimr5855 Před 5 měsíci +3

    you are f-ing crazy to have stuck with the kingy :-) Loved this this episode!

  • @ralphslife5710
    @ralphslife5710 Před 5 měsíci +4

    I love your calm demeanour discussing the sharks and then the contrast stress as you get on the boat! Always holding out for your content drop!

  • @debramage739
    @debramage739 Před 5 měsíci +4

    Stunning scenery, but those bronzes would have me in a poo. Great catch though Ollie, you are a brave man

  • @samual3467
    @samual3467 Před 4 měsíci

    Ollie How Do. Just quintessential chap. Absolute admiration for the respect you afford all species below the boat and totally commendable your respect for your boat & gear. Perfectly tidy. Be very proud of yourself. With Best Regards Sam.

  • @kraekennedy

    Ollie this one is truly a banger 🙌 your breathe hold is amazing 👏
    Love seeing each upload you post! You and the boat seem to evolve in each one 💪
    The tent set up is epic! Would it be possible to get some sort of mosquito netting fitted to tent cover?
    The paua and onion looked really yummy also that snapper curry ohh drooling over here 😂
    Your journey has been epic man keep em coming 🙌 😎

  • @stevegarland9063
    @stevegarland9063 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Brilliant episode for sure… takes me back to when my grandparents were light house keepers there and I was fortunate enough to do boating as a kid and visit the last keepers before the light was automated. Thanks heaps….by the way, those mozzies are brutal….they come in from grouper rock, I think when the wind is Nor westerly…they are big brutes too!
    Cheers

    @pallasxo8222 Před 4 měsíci

    Got YOU King Fish !! Nicely Done, Ollie .. I clean (gut) my fish and put them in the cooler (Eskie) on ICE bottles, just like you have done. & (Ice in the gut cavity) . Most Excellent. Smashing open Sea urchins is a brilliant strategy to lure in big snapper. You have a top notch channel. one of the best. Boat, tricks, and intelligence. all A plus.

    "Balls of steel" Alone spearing with so many whalers crazy stuff don't push your luck like that too many times. A big whaler took a swimmer down my local Tarthra Beach a few years back they only found small bits of her.

    At the part where you say you are moving on from that spot, that bronze was showing massive signs of challenging you, from so far away, I’ve never seen a bronze look so amped up while still being so far away! His body language was so obvious.

    Hey bro, our youth group have been on a few outings since we last messaged. Both diving and fishing, they are heading next week on fishing charter out of Thames and are holding a fishing comp between themselves and locals back here at our base the old bowling green. Th new boat is a beaut by the way, good to see your growth it suits you your future looks mean bro, too much. Oh and you need a mozzie net bro haha no need for sleepless nights 👌🏽
