VIDEO: Spearfishing Coromandel Islands + Shark Encounter

Overview

Ollie Craig takes his friend Josh from the Shetland Islands, Scotland, on a spearfishing adventure in the Coromandel, New Zealand. The goal was to land some Yellowtail Kingfish and the lads were not disappointed. Pink maomao, butterfish, a couple of a good-sized kingfish, and a brief encounter with a resident bronze whaler shark made for an epic day out on the water in sometimes challenging conditions. Make sure to watch to the end for a bonus catch-and-cook recipe with the freshly speared fish.
