It’s like BOWHUNTING under water! FREEDIVE SpearFishing Catch & Cook

This week we're back in the Caribbean foraging for dinner form the ocean! We're freedive spearfishing with a pole spear for reef fish. Grunts, snapper, jacks, and whatever else we find. Spear fishing with a pole spear is a lot like traditional bowhunting. You've got to get very close to the fish to get a shot. You've got to move slowly and be part of the environment. One of the coolest thing about freediving is all the other animals you see along the way. Sea turtles, eels, and eagle rays are just a few. When you start training in free diving, you've got to push your body way beyond what's comfortable. When you can put the screaming urge to breath out of mind, the mammalian dive reflex kicks in and your heart rate slows. The blood from your extremities rushes back to your core and feels like a warm blanket.
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

This was a great video! I've been a free diver since I was 12 years old. Now I'm 66 years old. I started at 12 by free diving with an old timer. Watching him dive was like watching a dance. Smooth and slow. I remember he use to run us along the beach preaching as we walked and ran, "Legs and lungs!" Spearfishing is good medicine. I've spear fished up and down the west/Baja and Mexico and loved it all. I've also been a traditional bowhunter . I've tried to hunt with the space age bows but always returned to traditional bows. Simply, because I enjoyed the connection with the bow, feeling the power of the arrow in my fingertips was [powerful. I could go on and on, but it would be the rambling of an old man. Good job. Oh, you and the boys move real nicely in the water.

Less than 3 months out before taking my bowhunting exam here in Europe. Been shooting compound on and off since the pandemic but didn’t get serious about it until this past year. I now love it. I also started spearfishing about the same time I started shooting bow and men, the two combined are a killer! I’m now trying to figure out the archery technique application to shooting a speargun and the breath hold applications of freediving to the bow. I live 3.5 hrs from the ocean and in the country it isn’t allow to spear in fresh water so I came up with target shooting underwater for spearing the lakes as well as free diving training. With a gorgeous lake 5 mins away I can shoot my bow and target shooting with my speargun in the same day and I feel like I’m in heaven haha I’ll practice in the lakes and hunt in the ocean. Something to think about for us guys who live in the mountains ways from the ocean but are interesting in spearfishing. Archery, diving, Zen, and B.J.J. is where is at! Back to the primal roots!

@@clayhayeshunter i still remember my first speargun, a Seac Polpone Slingshot Speargun, that my father gave me when i was 12 years old (he's been fishing since the 60s). Sardinia has incredible diving spots all over the island. as for hunting, its mostly birds and wild boars. there is an endemic species of deer but its protected.

Close to 20 years ago, I tried out spearfishing in Monterey, CA (it was legal then) with an old 6-foot, 3-prong pole spear somebody lent me. Took me an hour or two to get the hang of being slow & getting close, just out of arm's reach, before loosing the spear. Great memories. I didn't find out until years later that it's really difficult & that most people out here never even bother to try it. I think the scariest part was realizing that after I had been out a little while, I was having trouble keeping track of how long I was staying down. It's like still-hunting where the mind can enter a different state of consciousness & all sense of time can be lost. Glad to see somebody giving it a try with the family.

Nice video, and what some nice reefs! As someone who spearfishes in much colder and murkier European waters, I wish I could spearfish without a wetsuit, it would make getting friends started in this sport much easier. Being a beginner myself, I think I could give you a piece of advice: once you're in the bottom, get the fins way down and hidden as it reduces your profile a lot, and allows for greater relaxation if you're waiting on the bottom

Clay, thank you and your family for this video, after watching it i feel like i've been on a vacation myself. This reminds me how i was snorkeling on Cyprus and took a line with a hook and some bait with me snorkeling and would just lower down the line when i see a school of fish underneath. It was so interesting to watch how fish reacts to the line and bait and the weights on the line (they bite them too!), how it attacks and bites it! I got one fish hooked but unfortunately i made a poor hook knot and the hook came off the line. Unfortunately the idea to make a spear didnt cross my mind, i'll definitely try it next time i'm on a seaside vacation!
@clayhayeshunter

@georgewashington1621
@georgewashington1621 Год назад
@@clayhayeshunter Its not very practical, but fun! It was so wierd seeing how big fish absolutely ignored the hook with bait, like they knew it was dangerous! Only the relatively small fish went for it. Throwback to all those times getting back empty handed from fishing when i thought there was no fish, turns out they are just smarter than i gave them credit ha ha

Epic man! A few years back I went spear fishing, or better watched a buddy spear fish off the leeward side of Wake Island near the inlet to the lagoon. He shot a really nice grouper and we feasted like kings on it. Unfortunately we transferred to different commands so my spearfishing endeavors never happened.
