Spearfishing huge fish in the fjords of Norway

Every winter, there is a window where huge fish can be shot in an unusual type of spearfishing. We gave it a go! "Pipe diving" refers to spearfishing around pipes where discarded water from land based fish farms are flushed out to sea. Bits of food attracts shoals of coalfish, and all the noise attracts bigger predators. 20kg cods can come within range, as well as other beasts. With fish generally diving deeper during winter, this is a great way to harvest fresh sea food. The meat of anything but the coalfish is superb! In this video, there were generally little food in the water. The reason for the cloud coming out of the pipes is that fresh water from the pipe mixes with salt water. We talked with several local workers, who told us that better filtration was mandatory the later years. This is great for the environment, but also means that "pipe diving" might be a thing of the past. For any Norwegian speakers watching, here is a link with a 40 minute interview with a marine biologist talking about these pipes and spearfishing:    • EP7 - SALTVANN - Undervannsjakt i nærheten...   0:00 Intro 0:37 Spearfishing 04:05 20kg Monkfish 05:50 Spearfishing 06:42 Fish quality 07:05 Spearfishing day 2 08:46 Huge cod! 10:36 More spearfishing
