Red sheepshead

  • I always find it very interesting to see when fish, not pelagic fish, from the other side of the world look so similar to our local fish. When I started watching this vid I thought this fish looks like a sheepshead, what a surprise when at the end the fish's dentition was clearly visible. This footage is freedive spearfishing in Morocco.

  • Yeah and I wasn't impressed with their way of trying to get the spear out. Somehow I knew he was going to try to step on the fish's head, and then he did. Feels somewhat disrespectful, more so because they didn't bother braining the fish, yeah I know it was a stone shot but sometimes the fish is still conscious. Anyways I would've unclipped the line and knocked the spear all the way through a long time ago. Maybe they weren't experienced with a hard/bony headed fish like a sheepshead.
