Thank you Dan, but clearly you haven’t been rewatching your videos then 😉 I’ve lost count of how many times I rewatched your red emperor video while looking for inspiration editing this video. Now every time I type Y in my search engine your RU-vid video pops up as the first option and I’m not even kidding 😂
@EthanYeo1 ~ Brah! Finally catching up after getting injured a few years ago! I really appreciate you sharing about your soul adventure... and am sad that many of the negative chatter even was in the thread. Nevertheless, all the heart and reflections you put into getting your dream fish not to mention too many hours to count of editing, I'm sure, resulted in an honest to God amazing story! Keep up the positivity as a spearo. I look forward to diving Australia one day! Hailing from the mainland!!! Dive safe and FISH ON!
Thank you Jonty, has definitely been a hell of a journey! Still remember getting my spear stuck in the star of Greece and not being able to swim down to get it out 😂
LMAO Ethan, my first thought was what equipment did you loose doing this LOL! Awesome Fish of a life time, great edit mate, well done, that was epic. The editing was epic, you will watch this for years to come! Great adventure! Dive safe, have fun!
Wow ethan, that’s incredible mate, what a fish, great vid, well edited & exciting to watch from start to finish, just a little bit envious over here atm😂congrats again mate👏👏😎
Been watching many tuna videos over the years, but this was a true blast! They are just returning to Norway, so hopefully it will be possible to experience it here sometimes in the future!
Found this channel through Dan man, great video so cool to see the tuna and wildlife you see. Great catch ! Big tuna on my bucket list hopefully I’ll get one in the future !
This video was insane the last time I was here I was watching you guys grab crabs and now our shooting blue fin tuna WTF!!! Got goosebumps when you shot yours congrats bro 👍🏼
Well done Ethan, great fish man. I watched it last night on the TV, when you said the camera wasn't on for the first attempt on the gun my heart sank for you haha. Well put together vid mate 🍻
That's mad. I spent hours and hours trying to find tuna when in Victoria and no luck. Now up in Mackay I'll have to settle for a longtail tuna. Awesome video boss!!
Hi mate sorry but unfortunately I’m not living in SA anymore. My first RU-vid video and the biggest dusky morwong video were both filmed at Carickalinga though 👍
Thanks mate, yes I agree unfortunately RU-vid compresses the quality a ton too! I filmed this video last year in 1080p but since then have started filming in 4K and upgraded my camera gear so hopefully my quality only goes up from here 👍
I’m honestly not very experienced with targeting fish of this size but I’d definitely say you’d want to be over prepared than under as the last thing you want is the fish to pull your whole setup under and never see it again. We were running a 30m heavy duty riffe float line with 2 high atmosphere floats connected via a 3m bungee cord.
Beautiful fish, but you guys should learn how to treat it, as soon as it's stoned, cut it straight behind the pec fins and gills and tail and get it bled out. When it's onboard, jam a wire up the spinal cord from the cut tail, then straight into an ice bath.
Μου έτυχε κάτι τέτοιο στο παρελθόν. Κρατούσα ένα ψαροντούφεκο κι γύρευα σαργούς. Εκεί που γύρευα σαργούς γυρίζω το κεφάλι κι βλέπω ένα τόνο περίπου 3 μέτρα χοντρό σαν βαρέλι από αυτό το μεγάλο. Εκείνη την στιγμή σκέφτηκα ότι θα έχανα το ψαροντούφεκο αν έκανα κάτι κι το άφησα να πορεύεται προς το ωκεανό
Hey mate I appreciate your comment and do get where you’re coming from. No doubt do I agree that these were beautiful fish and we did take their lives. It’s the circle of life though, for us to eat something has to die and spearfishing is how my family and I get most of our protein and I’d rather harvest my own seafood knowing exactly where it’s coming from over going to the shops. Since I started spearfishing I’ve developed a greater appreciation for the seafood I catch and it’s always in my best interested to show respect to the fish by taking care of it and using as much as possible. With this tuna it took me around 4 hours to process it all as I didn’t want to waste any of it and I even kept the frame to eat.
