Lichia amia with Polespear
10,7 kg.
Lichia amia
Record Category: Men Sling / Polespear
A friend of mine informed me that he saw a feeding frenzy happening just 30m away from the shore!The next day i decided to visit that spot with a breakaway system attached on my polespear.I was swimming along the coastline when i saw a group of seaguls diving and fish jumping out of the sea! At that moment I knew that once more it was a feeding frenzy happening about 80m away from me! I swam that way and on the first dives i was seeing injured sardines swimming near the surface but none of the large fish i saw jumping around.After a couple of dives the big leerfish appeared from my left side and started moving in a circle around me.I turned on the camera and slowly started swimming towards the fish at about 12m of depth….

Bluefish with Polespear
5,885 kg.
Bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix
Record Category: Men Sling / Polespear
Ι was about 2,5 hours in the freezing 13 degrees water.I finally saw a group of smaller Bluefish around 2-3kg each but i decided not to take the shot hoping for something bigger.Soon after that a few small Seabass around the 1kg mark also showed up and once more i didn’t take the shot.So finally a few dives later, a group of large Bluefish entered my shooting range!I choose one of the bigger fish and place a good shot in the middle of the body!After a short fight i managed to pull the fish in my hands and i knew immediately it was the biggest one i had ever caught!

Dusky Grouper
6,315 kg
Epinephelus marginatus
Record Category: Men Sling / Polespear
I saw the grouper swimming under a hole while I was halfway on my descent and I turned on my action cam. After swimming all around the rock, I found a small opening from which I could hardly see the silhouette of the grouper’s head in the shadows. I released the polespear placing the shot on the right gill plate. The grouper moved and got stuck further under the rock, but after about 10 dives, I managed to release the fish and pull it out back through the way it went under the rock. I swam back up holding the fish in my hands full of joy for a catch that I had been struggling for 4 years to achieve!

About
A few words about Spearfishing Life and how we got here
Dimos Adamis is a spearo from Greece. He started swimming in pools from the age of 3 and his love for the water quickly led him to the Sea .
He started spearfishing before the age of ten with friends of his own age, amazed by the stories and catches of spearos in the magazines back then. Having the privilege to dive next to great spearos from an early age, he learned to love and respect the Sea ! Filming and video editing also became a passion and back in 2007, the “Spearfishing Life” YouTube channel was created! In the past years, he has uploaded hundreds of short movies, documenting and sharing his adventures, traveling and spearfishing across Greece!
Inspired by the Sea and using the Japanese Gyotaku fish printing method, he created a unique clothing line and other exclusive products, featuring the fish of the Greek seas! Spearfishing Life grew over the years, now having more than 100.000 Subscribers on YouTube and an Online Shopping Website with worldwide customer base!
