May your week ahead have moments as beautiful and satisfying as this one from @saminthewild_ (and filled with KILLSHOTs which would make it more satisfying) 🌞 🐟 ••• ••• From: @saminthewild_ ••• One of those days you wish you could sit there on the bottom and watch for hours. The beauty, the abundance, the feeling of sitting back and watching all the life out there - it all fuels the addiction rather nicely 🍑

It would have been epic to have a good rumble with this guy, but given the circumstances im stoked it panned out the way it did. First blood on the new @beuchatnz x @speargun_engineering build too, stoked with how well it went the skin, and especially the gill plates, are craaazy.

In case you’d forgotten, @saminthewild_ hunts on land as well. 🥩 🐟 ••• ••• From: @saminthewild_ ••• Hard to put into words the levels of froth that went into our hunt the other night. @emmadaisyhunt and I popped over to catch up with our good mate James @barnett3006 and sneak out for our first taste of the roar this year. We had a couple of animals give us some great action, with Bridget smacking her first stag (which was a ripper) and an old age charged in from around 800m to around 25m - hard feeling to beat…

I caught these two big bucks in close vicinity to one another, but one has a long spidery build while the other is short and stocky. Have a look at the legs and the fighting claws, they are so different it’s crazy! Now my theory…

It’s been bloody nice to finally get some spearfishing in without it being for work or having to drag around a camera for a change.

A buck in the hand is worth the dive to the sand...? ok I’m not a poet. 🤷‍♂️ 🐜 ••• ••• From: @saminthewild_ ・・・ Mr Dwane Herbert aka Dwanegerous is seen here scrapping with a beast of a Stewart Island buck at the surface. This phot was taken on a dive at the very bottom of Stewart Island in an area which is divable only one or two days at most.
