Spearfishing Wahoo from a Sailboat!
Hey hey! We promised at the end of episode 148 that we would have this bonus video for you all on Friday but we got a little distracted with the baby announcement... We will still publish episode 149 tomorrow :)
It was great to see all of Rileys hard work pay off. I'm as proud as a mother would be after seeing their child win first place in the sports carnival. Riley made this video for you guys to show you how he caught his first big wahoo off the coast of Redonda - Caribbean. Congrats babe 😘. I guess I'm never going to hear the end of it now and I can expect to be captain for a million more drift dives to come.
Enjoy!

Awesome!
Today I purchased a Wahoo steaks, they were selling for $14.99 per pound. You guys have the best fish market in town out there and it’s cheap too. Imagine $14.99 per pound????
so awesome!
Like the Old Man and the Sea. What an epically classic hunt bro! Sooooo good! Loved this video! And your explanation at the end, nailed it. You don’t need to justify to anyone, but your mindfulness of other’s opinions is always so good. Love it.
Great fish and a great story. Wouldn’t believe it if you hadn’t documented it. Nice!!!
Great film! Congratulations on bringing home your first Wahoo.
Glad for you all!
Wow, awesome man!
AWESOME catch. Good work
Congrats! Wahoo has always been my favorite fish to catch and eat. I cannot tell you the number of times I have been of shore fishing and I would say "if we could just catch one wahoo it would make the whole day worth while." I couldn't imagine shooting one of those hard fighting fish with a spear gun.
Fantastic, you guys! You are the best! More, more, more. This is fast becoming an addiction! Is there a 12 step program for SLV?
Another great video and a gorgeous looking fish! Oh man that would have been hard work. Congrats Riley, how exciting for you.
amazing! i cant wait for the next episode-Nevis is my home! So happy to hear your going to be in that part of the world for a bit! I hope i will be lucky to cross your paths one day! I am so happy about your big news and i really admire your journey, right from the first episode, you have inspired me! Thank you!
Good for you. Great effort = great rewards. You earned it
That's great! Tasty!
I'm so impressed with your concern for our beautiful world. Good on 'ya, mate.
Great Job!
Nice catch! And video!
As a fellow spearfisherman. I loved the French acoustic song y'all picked as Riley brought up the wahoo it gave a feeling of love towards the fish and respect which you talked about towards the end but definitely one of my favorite spearfishing edits
Great demonstration of spear fishing and the effort required. Is the "Inspector Clouseau" like stare from Steffan leading us into another mystery?
great work, got a really good sized mahi mahi on a lure once, the most beautiful gold colour all around it's body, instant sushi with wasabi and soy, meals aboard for 4 of us for about a week, years later I found out they mate for life. There's karma with all eat, most important is gratitude and you sure had to work for it.
Wonderful! Love u guys, having coffee @ 6 AM, very interesting for me since I will never do what u do & the ending is priceless!
Great fish..........
cheers mate!
Hey bud. Great job. Fishing for food and not sport - big thumbs up 👍 - how long does it takes to learn to free dive?
It definitely takes time to perfect but hard to put a time on it. Adam Freediver makes some helpful videos on Free diving if you're interested.
Congrats Riley, I know that elation when you finally get your dream fish. nice break down at the end too, of the effort that goes into catching fish in this most sustainable method
PS - any idea when my Sticker, Coolers and Coasters might arrive? I would love to display them Aboard SCARLETT!
Hi Craig, you should have received it by now. I've just sent you a private email.
Another great video guys! As for catching fishing - if you’re eating it and not wasting it then its sustainable and respectful to the planet. Once again - wise advice and a balanced middle-ground that we all should learn from. Congratulations!!!!! PS - love the look in the closing scene!!! - priceless!
absolutely Craig, we only catch what we eat
Don't apologize over the next two years. Take care of yourself and the baby. :-)
cheers W A S! There's definitely some crazy times ahead but looking forward to it.
Try not to worry about the negative people there the ones using plastic and other non perishable one use products that do so much real damage to our oceans. Nice shot. Next time if you ... ;-)
All good Ron, we knew we would get some people who would dislike it. If only a handful of people considered some positive change surrounding single use plastics than the video was worth it.
great shot! and full marks for documenting and videoing the whole process, fantastic video!!! Bill from SY Excalibur
cheers Bill! I can now tick off dogtooth tuna and wahoo vlog off my bucket list :)
