This holiday was my 3rd attempt of spearfishing outside of Malta. With some help from a friend and fellow RU-vidr I manage to make it a successful trip, and one to remember.
Cool video, some good catches. Sucks about the dentex 😢 no matter what fish, that is a bad feeling when that happens. What was going on with that grouper?!
Thanks. There could be many reasons, caught from depth and escaped/released, illegal fishing by explosives which does not kill big fish but destroys the fish buoyancy control, or possibly illness. I think the most realistic is fishing by explosives. There has been an instance as late as 2019 reported in Greece, if I remember correctly. This is the video exposing the perpetrator ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ahvhdjKTujw.html
@@drusfishingmaltaid say exposives i caught few on rod, and they have inflated bellies when they surface, but this one looked deflated, id imagine pressure from explosives do that
