Interesting video although I am surprized you shoot the fish, could you not just spear them with an unloaded gun?
 
You can and you can't. I am very experienced in hunting flounders. The most difficult task is to find them. Not that easy as it might seem. Takes year of experience. I sometimes take them by surprise with a knife coming from behind with my belly scratching the bottom. But from a distance of two to three meters you NEED to shoot. You can't just swim down and spear them. They will swim off before you reach them. Sometimes I can't see it and when I have been above it for some times it suddenly escapes. When I am lucky I hit it on the run, but of course this is a difficult hit. Now I wish some off them had given me my run for the money, because it happens quite often that they swim off before I even manage to aim at them. BUt like I said. I have great experience in hunting them and that day NONE of them got away. I hope to show you in future videos that it isn't as easy as it looks. On rare occasions I have shot one just to discover that there is one near by "frozen" and then I just try to spear the second one with the spear, and the first fish still on it. Sometimes I get them, sometimes not. So in my opinion you CAN'T just spear them with your hand and a spear. They are fast and strong little devils......
 
Awesome post! I appreciate your detailed commentary! Could you give some tips on how to find the flounder?
 
Denmark :) I worked there for the first half of this year (island of Als). Hadn't expected spearfishing was legal in Denmark (which is not in Germany).

Totally legal. All you need is a general permission for fishing. You can even buy spearguns without ID
