Nice video. What sort of fish are you shooting? I see you passed up on a few brown fish that swam pretty close to the camera, seemed big. Are those not good to eat?

They are White bream, not common in the UK but we do get them, not many spearfishermen shoot wrasse, the 'brown' fish you refer to.
Wrasse are edible but also very placid & slow growing, a bit like an underwater puppy dog!

Very nice!

[Woohoo]

I know you have a bit of a thing for Wrasse and I totally get the reasons why. Just wondering how you feel about The Tub Gurnard? I saw my first one a couple of nights ago but didn't take it. The main reason was my own ignorance. I didn't really know what it was or if it was definitely edible. I thought all Gurnards were much smaller.

My point is I literally put my spear to his head and he didn't move an inch. I could have shot him 50 times over and I actually ended up swimming away before him. Are they always like that? Do you not shoot anything that's slow and easy to kill or just wrasse?

Great vid by the way OP, really enjoyed it, cheers.

We get several types of gurnard where I live but the Red & Tub are the most common & both are culinary delights!
I also enjoy plaice and they don't move either

 

[Woohoo]

^ But Plaice can hide!

I was gutted when I got home, googled it and found out it was a decent eating fish. It really took me by surprise how easy it would have been to catch. It made the average Wrasse look like Usain Bolt!

Still, I enjoyed swimming with it and the next one will come home with me. Even I couldn't miss something that doesn't move when you prod it with your spear.

It looks like a wrasse but it's not wrasse, in french, we call "vieille" http://urlz.fr/41Yg
In my view, this fish is an ideal companion when i dive. (Very easy to fish)
I catch it from 3/4 lb
