Spearfishing Giant Lobster in the Bahamas! (Catch and Cook)

[Music] [Music] what's up guys jake here today we're at staniel key located in the bahamas i'm actually on the docks of the lazy bay cottages and you can actually get here by staniel air if you want to go on this exact same adventure i'm gonna have a link in the description box below but today we're doing something i love doing but i don't get to do enough we're going spear fishing so i'm not only specifically looking for fish i'm also looking for lobster and the main reason we're doing this is not only because it's like an epic adventure but also to bring some food home for dinner tonight we actually plan on leaving today and we wanted to extend our trip and we didn't pack enough food so obviously they're not going to let us starve but we want to bring home some stuff so we can have that for dinner and it's going to be so much fun and i thought i'd bring you guys along this adventure this is something new that you guys don't normally see on my youtube channel if you love spearfishing videos and you want to see more like this in the future drop a thumbs up if there's support i'll do more like this and team up with everyone but with that said we're going to hop in the boat and get this started all right guys so just jumped inside the boat let me show you guys some of the gear i'm using today to hopefully not only get a nice few fish but also some lobsters so to start things off i have these giant fins i don't know how deep we're going to be diving but last time we were here we were diving in about 40 feet of water long fins help you get down to the bottom and get back quickly i've also got a pair of goggles with my camera on top so i can record my adventure today the water's a little chilly but it's not terrible you know it is in the middle of the winter here so i've got a wetsuit but here in the summer time it is super super hot and you don't need one and then i also have a handful of spears here so i've got two big pole spears these ones are going to be for like big fish i've got this three prong spear here that's gonna be for like maybe some lobster and i've also have this more of a primitive style spear so this is something that you see some of the islanders here use but it's going to be a ton of fun i'm excited to try them all out and hopefully we get lucky if you're staying here at the lazy bay cottages you don't need to go out and buy new gear if you don't have it so if you don't have spear fishing gear you don't need to buy spearfishing gear or if you don't have goggles you don't need to buy goggles or scuba diving gear stuff like that they have everything you need to go on any adventure possible and i would recommend staying with them if you want to like i said i'm going to have that link in the description box below but i'm super excited to try out the spears i brought today princeton the boat captain actually has some secret spots to be able to find some big fish and even big lobster and i'm so excited to get out there in the middle of the ocean dive down and see if we get lucky so with that said he's gonna start the boat and we're gonna get out there so i've got my girlfriend a couple friends joining me today as well but look how beautiful this water is crystal clear this water is absolutely beautiful super super calm day clear as far as you can see i've never been spear fishing never done anything like this before so i'm super excited to get in the water and try it out let's do it chris so this is captain princeton princeton's gonna be taking us out to one of his secret locations i'm so excited to get down there but what do we have to look for when we get there uh we're gonna go on the bank side uh we're gonna look like we're gonna go in like 10 to 30 feet of water look for some toilets hopefully we find the right heads and i'll get some lobster and some groupers uh hog snappers you know look around for a little bit find some conch i heard uh you saw some hammerheads the other day yeah we got some some hammerheads that's come uh look for the turtles you know like i have a 15 foot boston railroad i went alongside the hummer head it's about the same size a little bigger than the boat i have so we got some dangers to look for but i think we're going to be completely fine if we respect everything but i'm so excited we're gonna get to a spot and dive down all right guys so we just made it to the spot i'll be honest with you if something happened to princeton we'd be dead because i don't see land it's not too too deep i guess the way the ocean works here you know doesn't get too deep too quickly uh but it's probably about 20 feet deep 20 30 feet i can see the bottom the water is crystal clear but yeah we're in it man like we're way out here in the middle of the ocean and hopefully we can get some good stuff so i'm gonna get my wetsuit on dive on down and hopefully get lucky all right so i have all the gear about to get seasick the waves are taking me out here i gotta get in the water but i've got this like primitive style spear here and i'm super excited to get down there preston was saying this is one of his best spots for lobster so i'm gonna dive down and hopefully pick one off with this all right [Music] [Music] wow [Music] it's got one that's a big one dude that's awesome wow your first lobster yeah all right guys so chris got his first lobster ever in his entire life and it's a big one dude look at this thing that's huge so he was down there with a spear i was like no way man that lobster is way too big so i gave him the big spear here and he went down there and speared it and i i couldn't be more proud man first lobster appreciate it man yeah all right we're gonna put it on ice and we're gonna eat that one tonight for dinner i gotta see if i can get one more so we can have a feast so i'm out there fighting that current that current was way quicker than it looked but jake's like slow down take a breath catch your breath and he put me right on the spot he said it's right there so sure enough i went down there got it crazy experience absolute blast we just moved to a new reef chris got the one on the last one but there's no more lobsters there so we're diving here checking this out and then maybe we'll get lucky with the second one here we go [Music] [Music] [Applause] all right guys so we've been out here all day searching for lobsters conks and fish and i'll be honest with you guys we're not all that great at this but we're having a good time that's all that matters chris got a really nice lobster uh joe got a really nice caulk and then i got the fish of the day here a mutton snapper right look at that thing i've never got one this big before my whole life that's like that's gonna be a few days of worth the food for sure and uh like i said we actually are running out of food they're not gonna let us starve but we're gonna have plenty of food now for the next next few days over here in the bahamas and that right there is a beautiful fish so thankful to be out here and thankful to be able to take this fish and spearfishing is honestly so cool because you don't have any bycatch you know you're not out there with a big net swooping up all types of fish i chose this one because i wanted this one particularly and that's uh that's a good way of fishing in my opinion anytime you're out spear fishing you got to put your lobster fish right on ice right when you catch it so that's what i'm gonna do i'm gonna put right here all right guys so the day's coming to an end here in the bahamas i had so much fun spear fishing if you haven't tried spear fishing i recommend you guys give it a shot it's seriously so much fun and today we all got super lucky chris got a giant lobster and it's his first lobster of his life i got really lucky with the big mutton snapper and my buddy joe got pretty lucky with that we're gonna head back to the marina and uh get all these organized so we can have them for dinner tonight so i'm gonna show you guys the whole process it's gonna be a ton of fun all the extra material that we don't use we're actually gonna feed to the nurse sharks in the harbor so we just made it to the samuel key marina here and this is where we're gonna be cleaning the lobster and the fish and maybe the conch i'm not too sure how that works out but princeton is an expert he's been doing this entire life i'm going to watch him learn a few techniques and maybe i'll be able to apply that in the future but yeah let's clean them off and what's cool about this spot there's a whole bunch of sharks everywhere and you throw all your scraps in the water and they tear it up it's pretty awesome so let's get out here start cleaning these fish and stuff princeton's an expert with this so i'm gonna let him fillet the fish but i learned how to fillet the the lobster so i want to practice i haven't done it yet chris i might messed up your lobster you sure that's all right all right it seemed pretty easy so i guess you have your knife here and you want to go in right yeah this way yeah and then you go this way okay and it looks like you just go along like that right and then bring it on this side always keep the knife facing this way yeah okay all right oh looks like it came out there we go and then i learned you want to get one of these yeah break it yeah i'm going to use this and then you get the insides out so all you gotta do is just put it on i don't want to have to go early all right yeah i got a that's a lot of meat dude wow chris did an amazing job man it's a lot of lobster meat and then along with the fish and steak that we have tonight we're going to be eating pretty dang good and i'll be honest too princeton pretty much did all the work there i'm pretty new but i love learning but uh yeah that's a nice fillet we're gonna put that on the grill along with the fish princess is gonna go ahead and cut the fish open get those fillets organized now what i'm going to do is actually give this head to the people here that's like a delicacy they're going to love that and also the head from this fish so not really too much is going to go to the waste all the guts are going to be thrown into the water and you guys are about to see some crazy bloodbath stuff happen with all these sharks man it's pretty cool yeah we're saving this for the grill and uh half of the fish too i'm gonna give to princeton so he could take home to his family for taking us out today but um yeah i'm excited let's cut this thing open alright guys so princeton's gonna go ahead and start filleting my fish what is this called a mutton snapper and this is the first one i've ever caught like this and he was saying this is pretty much a maxed out size for these fish i'm sure they get a little bit bigger but i mean what a beautiful fish a lot of meat half of it is actually going to go to him for helping us out today and for his family and then the head is actually gonna be saved for some of the people here like i said it's just like a delicacy like the lobster head but it looks like a lot of meat wow look at that that's half the fish right there look how much meat that is so like i said none of the meat's gonna go to waste the heads are actually gonna be given to some of the local bahamian people here and also all the skin and guts are gonna be fed to all the nerf sharks i guess they know it's dinner time let's go ahead and throw this hunk of skin out there and see him go crazy you guys ready it was gone in like a second that's awesome all right so once we're done cleaning we're actually going to be swimming in this water with all these sharks a lot of people do it it's actually pretty safe but you know no it's never guaranteed that you're not going to get bit but during feeding time it's kind of intimidating but uh once it's done i'll give them a second and i should be pretty good so we're going to swim around and we should be fine [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all right guys so the sun's starting to set it's been so much fun spear fishing what i'm gonna do right now is actually head to the grill before it gets dark and put all this meat on the grill and start cooking it up for dinner and i'm gonna show you guys the end result but a lot of meat to cook up half of the fish is going to the captain and his family and it's just because i wanted to give it to him but we have just so much man so let's get to the house so i'm currently buttering up the lobster and the fish keeping it really simple i think butter salt a little bit of pepper a little bit garlic sauce just very simple i think simplicity is like the key i'm not an expert but our cooking channel dude this would be a cool cooking channel like if you just went out and like caught your own stuff and talked about it gordon ramsay ain't got nothing to me just kidding granny randy let me do what if he's watching all right so i'm gonna go ahead put the lobster in and i'm going to go ahead and slap it down let your lobster crisp and then i'm going to go ahead drop the fish in there so we just finished cooking all the food on the grill and i'm gonna show you guys what it looks like so check it out so right here is the lobster crisco it looks pretty dang good got some fish i caught got some avocado and some dipping sauce that our neighbor made for us we've got some steak here some noodles and some rice and i will say i need to improve my cooking abilities because i'm not really all that great but it's all good because it's going to taste amazing but if
