BOWFISHING - Hunting Sharks Catch n Cook 

Hey so when you’re bowfishing you have to aim low due to the light refraction. Idk how much per depth but the sunlight makes it look like it’s not as shallow. So I’d say in like 3 feet of water aim at the bottom of the fish. I haven’t read any previous comments so idk if anyone has told you this . Anyhow I hope it helps and I like your videos. Thanks for making them. Lol

The problem you are facing with your bow fishing is that you are thinking of the target (fish) being exactly where it is visually. That is actually not the case due to Refraction. The fish (or shark) is actually slightly lower in the water than it appears due to the way light interacts. You can test this interaction by placing a pencil in a half full glass of water. But yeah cool video, just a tip on how to improve your accuracy in this regard.

You are the only survival RU-vidr that doesn’t act like he is the toughest man on earth. Respect.

Might want to plant either a coconut or some limes there. Considering you're not staying on the island 24/7 all year long, it would make an excellent project to check on their growth when you come back. The lime would also be an excellent source of fruit juice and vitamin c, some aloe vera plants would also help with any burns you might sustain. I would recommend you get one of those massive straw hats and some kind of cloak to help cut down on the sun's effects on your body. You can still wear just shorts and shoes underneath it and it doesn't have to longer than your waist to avoid it getting waterlogged, but there is a lot of danger involved with sun exposure on what amounts to a deserted island(heat stroke, heat exhaustion, skin cancer, dehydration, and delirium are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head right now). You also might want to make a project out of moving some of those rocks to form a pier of sorts out into the water. That way you can safely walk out further into the water without needing to worry so much about getting cut on the rocks if you slip. Maybe want to bring some fishing line so that you can attach it to your arrow so that you can haul the arrow and whatever its speared back to you, cause bigger fish like the shark are not going to go down right after you spear them and might escape with your arrow instead out into deeper/more dangerous waters.

New drinking game before you watch this video take a shot every time he misses a shark lol , Goodluck hahaha ,thanks for the videos peace from good old Australia

I am from the Caribbean. Try scaling the fish and then cook it whole. That lets you eat the skin too. It’s very delicious and nutritious!

I’ve spent a couple hundred hours bow fishing. A couple observations: bow fishing arrows are heavy fiberglass, heavier the better really, you loose a lot of energy in the water. Also, you aim 6 inches below the fish for every foot of depth, so 2 feet deep-shoot 1 foot below. Also, only certain species are fair game for bow fishing, not sure if salt water regulations are different and obviously different state/countries would have different regulations.

My butt puckered when you fell. It's an involuntary reaction, it just happens! 🤣

We shall call you Aqua Robin Hood...🏹🏹🏹..... Sorry your fall..... Fill better mate✌️🍻🐟🎣

An inch or 2 lower than where you think my brother because of refraction. You're living mate, bloody love it 👌🏽💪🏽👍🏽!!

The Shark just want to Play With you,really I'm sure..... 🤣🤣

It's amazing how much skill guys in the comments section have. I've grown in cities and always wished to have an wilderness sensation. Salute to all you experienced survival intelligent guys. I'd love to learn all

I don't know how you are holding your nock end, but you sometimes hold your finger around the arrow at the rest. When ppl do this, it's usually because they are touching the arrow as they draw and the arrow is trying to swing out on them. When you draw make sure you are not touching the arrow, just the string. The nock will hold to the string all on it's own. Holding the arrow at either end will throw off the arrow, and squeezing the nock as you draw is what causes the arrow to swing. Also, since you are using a bow that does not have a rest, you might want to try tilting the bow for your shot, make a v between the bow and your finger, and only hold the bow with your thumb and index finger. Don't grip your bow. If you are 10 feet (3 m) away from the fish, and you guestamate that the fish is about a foot under the water, aim 4 inches (10cm) lower than you see the fish. If you think the fish is lower than a foot aim lower still. Those shark look like they almost swim with their bellies touching the bottom. go take a walk out there where you have seen them and get an idea how deep the water is there. If it's 2 feet, aim somewhere between 6 and 9 inches lower than you see the fish. Fuzzycuzzy might be right about the Shark swimming off with the arrow; you might think about putting a line on the arrow. You might also want to put a fishing tip on it so it can't pull itself off the arrow. Good luck.

Spanish flag taste soo good from what I remember when I was younger 👍💪

Fish are trawling you bro😂🐟🐟🐠😂

Beautiful views great camera work….

I still can’t believe you responded to my comment on a six month old video, keep it real dude, love your content.

the speed that shark took off is mind blowing

I must say, that looks absolutely delicious

Shout out bro from philipines❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭

Started bow fishing at 12 years old. Got a 9 inch trout. In 40 years I got a few hundred fish. $3 bounty on carp, 17 one day. I love it

NOBODY has ever been better at spooking fish with bow and arrow

Bless up🙏🏾❤️

You have such a great attitude despite missing a dozen times. Inspiring.

just enjoyable to watch and Chill with it . Please keep on making them

Love your content your one of the best out the sending much love from West Yorkshire in UK 🇬🇧

Never heard the phrase "Bob's your uncle" had to laugh to the randomness to it and searched it up. Bless ur day and honest content

The skin of the fish you pilled up is the most delicious part of the grilled fish.

Hey Cavy you should try a fish trap. Pick a good spot & arrange some rocks & or branches, leave an opening and chuck in some crushed crabs (fish guts or whatever) when the tide goes out. When the tide comes in bingo dingo easy targets. I've done this before to catch bait, whiting and mullet mostly. Sand hole traps on sand banks with an entrance work great like this also.

13:27 into this video and the bow hunter is 0 for 21…Yet his attitude and his will, to get a fish, remain very high. “The successful hunter is always persistent” Steven Thornton

ladies and gents is tougher then it looks!

Wow...it's awesome, my friend. Sending encouragement to you 😁

Bro u r a straight BAD ASS! Loving these vids! Wish I could live this way

Thank you for sharing a new adventure! May be one day will be with a trap, any kind, use imagination; may be like a circle fence hidden under the sand close to the shore and that can be lifted when shark is in ... Or a big plastic bag for smaller fish for baits... I mean has to be funny when missed as much funny this video was! I really enjoy watching you, many thanks for your hard work.

"Bob is your uncle" 🤣🤣

Good job brother all you have is a survival knife, a bow, and a fire starter kit. People talk crap on these commeit's like it's easy and if they're professionals. Like I said good job, all you had is 3 things to survive and you did!

Try fiber-soul tabis. Japanese fisherman boots with the split toe. Great grip on slippery anything and will reject urchin spines and/or fire rock. They also dry real quick.

It's probably a good thing you didn't hit a shark, it would have just swim away with your arrow in its head

Nice video. I love to watch it. It was cool to relax alone down there.

I sure do like watching your most awesome life. Your truly blessed to be in the creator's paradise, good work Survival Beast.

I was a science teacher. Light bends toward the normal when it passes through a denser medium, such as water or glass, just like a car axle passing through deep mud at an angle. Then it reverts to its original direction in air or space, so, if you are looking at something in water, it is slightly below where it appears to be. Keep doing it. You're having more fun than me.

I love these videos man, and especially the recent ones where you show us the struggles. Seeing you try time and time again and still hit no sharks really hits me because even though you're missing, you have no choice but to keep trying until you eventually succeed, and that's life. In the cities the struggles are different, but the process is the same, and it's been since the dawn of mankind. These videos motivate me and i'm sure a lot of people feel the same, keep up the work bro

Lol 😝😌❤@ that is sick...keep it up loving it from St.lucia

Glad to see you switched up from field tips to broadheads.

Love your adventures. Keep them a coming. Cheer !!😎

You: So glad we caught this Me: quick glance down at the couch I enjoyed this so very much as a 60 years woman who would have loved to have you tube exist to keep me company on my windsurfing adventures. Cheers

Sehr sympathischer Kerle.......die Ruhe selbst obwohl nix klappt

I think that sharks just teesing him😂😂😂

If I was bow hunting as a experienced archer , I would create a sight point based on a underwater target that takes out a lot of the guess work . But if your hell bent on shooting without a sight point then good luck and lots of practice , one way or the other good on you bro for using the bow .

i love how hard i was judging you and ive never even been camping before lmao. i woulda missed everything yet i was like "he STILL has nothing" lmao

Amazing video

Great videos

Your issue wasn't hitting the sharks with the arrow. It was using practice points and it not being able to penetrate their skin thickness because of arrow speed and sharpness. Use that broadhead but first get used to shooting the broadhead arrow because it will fly differently than the practice tips. Save those practice tips for the fish. Also to reduce weight battery wise you should consider carrying a small solar charge panel and use that to charge as you go out and about to record your adventures. Cut down on size and weight, plus you have more room for the good shit! :) Love this show bro. Would love to have the time and means to travel like this.

due to water refraction you have to aim way under the fish in order to hit it.

the fart had me dying😂😂😂

Hay! Bro! I like all of ur films, see visions are different from open air and under water!

You succeeded in making a video on how not to bow hunt sharks. Well done 👍

You need to get your index finger of the right hand away from the Arrow. Aim should be much better! Just grap the bow with your full hand and just rest the arrow on top of it. Dont extend your index finger. if the arrow falls down, angle your bow alittle bit to the left like you already do. Beautifull place btw.

And here i was waiting for a shark to be caught

When you fell. Sharks be saying haha Get a fishing rod and you will eat like a king.

Finally shot a fish + epic fart + coconut for desert = solid vid 👌👊🤙🤣

I’ve been waiting for a shark video from you for years! Love it! Keep it up mate!

You has to put some target underwater for testing shots .. also if fish is in the move you must shot before fish not exactly to fish .. ballistick tricks ;-) Nice nature nice video - wish you good luck ;-)

17:43 that coconut is huge lol.

For the bow you’re using I’d recommend wood arrows they bend more and that’s what you’d want for that type of bow, it’ll be easier I’m pretty sure

Love what you do. I watch all the adds in hopes it supports you and what you do :). Keep it real brother

You are good at miss shot 🙂

this episode is mega honest. im glad you posted it. it's not all fun and games, even if your good at it. big ups from Philadelphia. South Philly Brother!

I so wish I could join you on one of these adventures!

Bell end comes to mind!

4:56 me hiciste reír 😀, bad shot and mal paso . Te pasaron todas pero me hiciste reír, hay que resbalarse entre las rocas ..me dolió a mi de verte caer 🤣😂

Keep up the great content man 💪🔥 always keen to see a new video

I've never seen anyone hold a bow like you do. I think changing that and aiming lower will help greatly.

I felt that fall.

Nice sir..

Loved your video. It's the first one I've seen you do; definitely not the last. You might try using a slingbow some day. The wrist rocket conversions are easier to become accurate with than a bow, take up a lot less room in your pack, water won't damage it (at least not in the short term), and you can attach a fishing reel to keep the fish from swimming away with your arrow. Also, those of us who bowfish usually wade (in fresh water)--if you are still for a while, the fish will come close. Aim low and up close for the best results. Also, fishing points will work much better than broadheads or target points, because the fish cannot dislodge them and swim away.

Loved the bow fishing bro pleeeeease do more of that!! And what is in your bag of spices? I want to replicate it and put it on fish to taste what you're tasting 😋

I value your struggle, brother!

What are those arrows without the heads on them that you're shooting?

Great episode. Man I wish I lived there.

You’re not considering the refraction of the light. So that’s why you’re constantly missing. It looked like in the shallow part it was about a foot so you want to aim 3 inches/7 cm lower from your target

Shot brah legendary

You are truly a brave man with very good fighting skills and strength

Dripping down those rocks covered in bird poop. I don’t know bout dat.

Hey man i absolutely love your videos. Just discovered them recently and cant stop watching. Can you tell me where you are for these kind of videos? I think i heard between indonesia and australia on some of the islands there is that correct? And how do you get on these islands and back again?

Just missing a club and a woman 👩 to drag by the hair. D amn, Sorry mate couldn't stop from remembering that cartoon 🤣. Just kidding.

"'OOH i just did a ripper fart!''

Cant lie, those were some clean attempts at the sharks. Glad to see you brought spices this time! You deserve some good seasonings on those amazing catches, bring a spear with you next time just as a back up. I thought the bow an arrow was a nice touch! Stay full and safe brother! 👌🏻🐠🐟

It's cool to see how impossibly fast they swim away

This series is more like vacationing in a paradise island, eating seafood and drinking coconut water having a gala time, than a real survival series. This fellow even has lime to put on fish, next time try add a clove of garlic, bring a ketchup, some pepper etc.

nice and good work view is awesome sea is also my love thanks for sharing love from my side faiza here

Mate, these vids are fantastic! I would only say make them even longer, like 30 to an hour!!

Amazing 😉

I'm waiting for the shark🤦‍♂️😂

If that was *my* island I'd be moving rocks around to make tidal pools, and mazes where the fish would get trapped. Failing that, a cast net would be much more useful, I would think.

I've done alotta Bow Fishing in my youth. Never for survival tho. I'd love to do that 😁👍🤙

ULTIMATE JUICE FACTOR!!

Nice job on the fish. Perseverance typically produces positive results.

Sensacional, top demais 👏👏👏👏👍

Hey right on! Fun video! If you have some time look up Archer's paradox and light refraction into water. It will help explain why you are missing so much. The shark's skin is so tough I don't think that bow has enough draw weight to penetrate their skin.
