Our friends over at MorningTide Fishing never know what is going to happen when they do their extreme land-based fishing.

Some days it’s 6 foot swells bashing them on the rocks (like this wild video called “Only A Reel Fisherman Could Ever Understand This Crazy Video”)

Some days it’s having to dive into the water to free the fish and leader from underwater structure (like this must watch video called “Think The Wicked Tuna Guys Are Crazy? Then Watch This!”)

And some days its peacefully calm but you have reef sharks (aka the “Saltwater Tax Man”) coming up within feet of where you are standing to grab a free meal…

Check out the latest video from Morningtide Fishing below.

What a lucky fish!

Enjoy.

Just a couple of weeks ago, we posted what must be the wildest surf fishing video to ever come out of Montauk, New York (you can see it here).

In that video, the ending quote was, “We all have to die… You know… so you might as well die like a man…”

To say it was a pretty intense video with some pretty intense anglers is an understatement.

I reference that video because up until that point, we hadn’t featured a video from Montauk.

And now, in just the span of two weeks, we get two phenomenal videos out of one of the wildest fisheries in America.

It’s also important to point out because what is known as the striped bass capital of America is seeing some of its worst striped bass fishing yet.

Check out this quick documentary film by Mike Percelli and Thomas Nakasone that was an official selection of the International Fly Fishing Festival.

Did BlacktipH just beat his own top-ranked Mullet Run Footage from last year?

Either way, you’ve got to see this!

So earlier this year we posted some “Florida Mullet Run” footage from our friend Blacktiph that was the best we had ever seen… (you can view it here)

In fact, we went as far as challenging anyone to send us mullet run footage that could beat it.

And over the last 6 months that Mullet Run footage continued to be shared and viewed like crazy (to the tune of over 13,000 Facebook Like and Shares from Salt Strong viewers alone)…

During that time frame, no angler or videographer has been able to match the amazing footage from that video…

Until today…

Ironically, it was none other than BlacktipH himself that beat his own video footage!

Check out this unbelievable South Florida Mullet Run footage that he just uploaded to his BlacktipH YouTube channel.

Is this the best Florida Mullet Run footage of all time?

Let us know what you think in the comments.

Note: If you aren’t a Florida saltwater angler and have no idea what the Mullet Run is, it occurs when mullet start heading south on Florida’s east coast when water temperatures begin to drop. These migrating mullet are headed south to warmer water and where grasses and algae grow during the winter.

And once they reach the south point of Florida, the sexually mature fish head offshore and breed in the Gulf Stream where the fertilized eggs catch a move northbound with the current, and the mullet cycle starts all over again…

Cape Verde, Africa is known for it’s beautiful beaches, amazing shipwrecks, and big surfing waves…

It is also home to many fishermen.

And the #1 rule for anglers and boaters is to never take your boat past the surf break…

Apparently these two guys didn’t get the message.

Watch the two men in the boat make completely different decisions about the oncoming wave.

Glad to see both made it out alive.

Can’t say the same for the boat though.

Thanks to Nic Turner of Hawaii for sending this video in.

Enjoy.

Fishing Addiction.

These Montauk, New York anglers have a serious fishing addiction, and they put together one of best surfcasting videos we have ever seen.

Even though not every angler goes surfcasting for striped bass, this story explaining a fishing addiction is something all of us anglers can relate to.

Whether you fish from land, beach, boat, kayak, paddleboard, or pier, we all share a common goal and addiction… to catch fish and to feel something big on the other end of the line…

It’s hard to explain the raw energy that line screaming out of your fishing reel creates to a non-angler, but it certainly is addicting.

Great to hear that these anglers are taking the steps to help preserve their fishing grounds for future generations of anglers.

And make sure to stick around until the very end to hear the best quote…

“We all have to die… You know, if you’re going to die, you might as well die like a man”

Enjoy.

FACT: 6-year old Sam Adams is incredibly Salt Strong.

Just when you thought a young kid with a name like the iconic beer “Sam Adams” couldn’t get any more awesome, you see him go to battle on the beach with a monster fish and totally impress you ever more.

Not only that, young Sam Adams of New Jersey wasn’t just out spending quality fishing time with his dad that day, he was competing in a fishing tournament!

And this monster striped bass ended up earning him first place in the 2015 LBI Surf Fishing Classic Tournament.

What an awesome moment for Sam, his dad, and everyone involved.

No doubt Sam will go on to catch larger fish (since he is already breaking records at age 6), but this will be one that he will never forget.

Here are a couple of pics of the striped bass that Sam caught.

Check out how big that thing is compared to him!

I put these pics in because the video below doesn’t do a great job of showing the actual fish, but still worth the watch to see this young guy go to battle on the beach.

Enjoy!

Josh Jorgensen of BlacktipH is no stranger to being on Salt Strong.

With one of the most popular saltwater fishing YouTube channels in America, BlacktipH has had countless videos appear on Salt Strong.

But did you know that he also hosts a really popular blacktip shark fishing tournament every year?

It’s called “The Blacktip Challenge” and not only is it a fun shark tournament to be a part of, but it also helps shark researchers document blacktip shark migrations and movement as they tag many of the sharks, take some samples, etc.

The registration for next year’s Blacktip Challenge opened today and they only take 130 teams. Click here to learn more and check out the trailer below.

The MorningTide Fishing dudes are back with another epic land-based fishing adventure!!!

Except this time, they go air-based to get land-based to find new fishing ledges…

You’ll see what I mean when you watch their awesome new video below.

And if you aren’t familiar with the hard-core (and just as hard-core on conserving fish for the next generation) anglers over at MorningTide Fishing, here are a few of our favorite videos by them this year:

Bet they are glad that Jonny was along for this trip (or maybe not after he fooled them about Bull Sharks following them…)

Enjoy.

You can check out more about the MorningTide Fishing team here on their main website.

Team Googan (aka “Poseidon” – god of the sea and protector of all saltwater life) is no stranger to being featured on Salt Strong.

In fact, I think this is his 5th or 6th video that has made it as one of our Salt Strong featured videos.

And in this video, Team Googan puts all of his best stuff in the Ultimate “Run That Dog” Compilation…

Some of the fishing footage is from the actual South Florida Mullet Run, while others parts of from Team Googan showing how he catches monster fish year round in South Florida.

He’s kind of like the Honey Badger… Team Googan don’t care… he’ll catch fish any time of year…

Make sure to watch until the end as this video keeps getting better and better.

Another great video Team Googan!
