OK, this isn't aimed at the content maker who has no control over this aspect, but is aimed at whatever idiot is responsible for inserting 'ad breaks'. Didn't it occur to them that knowing what a moving boat sounds like underwater might be important for safety reasons? And that keeping that section of the video intact might be equally important for keeping people safe? And if ad insertion is computer controlled, doesn't anyone check to make certain important safety info is kept intact? Catch N Cook California is doing his best to educate interested people how to free dive safely. The very least RU-vid can do is make sure sections of video containing vital information pertaining to health and safety aren't disrupted by ads for things like Pizza and clothing!

I’m curious…in Hawaii, we were taught to use the spear to gently agitate the octopus out of the hole, then grab it by hand and dispatch by biting the eyes. But we never use the spear to stab the octopus. Are you allowed to do that, instead of trying to ninja snatch them at the opening of their holes?
@catchncookcalifornia1574
@catchncookcalifornia1574 5 месяцев назад
A great question. The "tickling" technique as practiced in HI would still rely on a spear rather than hook and line or hands and I believe that means that it is then prohibited in CA. It's rather unfortunate as it would be awesome to try out here.
@Jarom.M
@Jarom.M Год назад
When you bite the octopus, do you use your incisors or molars? I've always heard that you "bite the nut" to dispatch them, but never the technique of doing so.
@catchncookcalifornia1574
@catchncookcalifornia1574 Год назад
I do it with my incisors. But I only learned how by reading what the Hawaiians were doing in the old pages of Hawaii Skin Diver magazine in articles by folks like Kimi Werner. So I do not know if I bite the octopus exactly the same way that they do. Good question!

I recently discovered your channel, thanks also from discovering Fisherman's Life & Outdoor Chef Life, great content and fellowship all! I'm retired now and want to add surf fishing to my growing list of hobbies (Brewing, Beekeeping, Pottery...), so I keep looking for practical, educational content on RU-vid. Your channel is excellent in providing the what, when, why , and how answers that I'm looking for. Now you have me interested in foraging too. I live in Ventura Co. and I'm finding a paucity of coastal content that takes place near me. All the action on RU-vid seems to avoid anything south of Pt Concepcion and north of San Diego. Am I living in a dead zone? Keep making great content, I'm learning so much!

@@ItsChristina7 I agree. Yet it has long been in the back of my mind. I showed cleaning a wild turkey in the episode where Fishing Chef (Chensi), Martijn and I shot a wild turkey with an air rifle and cooked it on an open fire and that was the only episode I have ever had that was flagged and de-monetized. It made me question whether I should be showing the cleaning of game, but at the same time if the whole point is to teach people how to sustainable and humanely dispatch fish and game and how to process their catch for a meal to share with friends and family, you would think that would be encouraged rather than demonized.
