These underwater dredge cameras are so cool!

It is amazing to see what kind of fish are coming up right under your boat while you troll. Pretty wild stuff.

In this video, I was in awe at how many tuna were coming up to check out the boat and the dredge.

And just when I thought the video was over (around the 3-minute mark), the boat cranks back up and some nice white marlin start coming up to the dredge!

White Marlin Bonus!

It seems like just a few months ago when we all thought that Lionfish had no natural predators around Florida, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico…

But now after seeing Nassau Grouper fight over Lionfish (see that video here), guys like Alex Fogg annihilating Lionfish like it was going out of style (see that video here), a Grouper that steals Lionfish and then acts like a Dog (see that viral video here), and now this Barracuda that loves the taste of lionfish (minus a little bit of a hard time taking it down), it appears they have some predators now.

Check out this hungry Barracuda that sneaks behind a diver and steals his lionfish.

Of course, the joke kind of turned on the Barracuda as he had a bit more trouble than usual swallowing the lionfish (you can still see part of the lionfish hanging from his mouth even after the 2:00 minute mark).

However, he finally gets it all down and goes about his day of terrorizing small fish.

Barracudas are freaking fast and ferocious!

Not to mention, they have some gnarly teeth that can do some major damage to their prey in quick fashion (just ask this Giant Trevally in the video below…)

In fact, it has been said that pound for pound, a barracuda has a stronger jaw and more damaging bites than almost any shark out there.

After watching how big of a chunk the barracuda took out of this big GT (Giant Trevally), we tend to agree. Wowzers!

It’s not every day that you get to see hundreds of tuna attacking a bait ball right in front of you.

And let’s face it, it’s not every day that you happen to have a brave cameraman with a professional underwater camera ready on your boat when you come across an unbelievable tuna feeding frenzy like this. But thankfully the stars aligned on this day for this boat as we all get to watch this amazing footage.

Watch as countless Tuna and dolphin go ballistic on a bait ball in Panama.

The crazy diver dodges tuna bullets while the bait hovers around him for safety. At one point, he is literally getting run over by the tuna (wait until you see his underwater footage at the end).

But my only problem with this video: Why is no one fishing the entire time!

P.S. – Please SHARE if you found this video below amazing! Pa-POW!

Goliath Grouper are very smart fish… So much so that they might even be able to partially read sign language…

Yep.

And as this diver found out the hard way, when you use aggressive sign language in front of a Goliath Grouper, they do what they were built to do… Act aggressive.

So aggressive that this Goliath Grouper bites the diver!

Fortunately, this diver had a thick wetsuit on and doesn’t appear to be seriously injured. He did try to get a few instinctive punches off on the Grouper as it moved on to find someone else to mess with.

Enjoy.

This has to be the WILDEST Tarpon video we have ever seen!

And YES, this is a Florida Crocodile.

At first we thought it was an alligator, but as you can see from the up close pics of the thin snout, the way the teeth are set, and even the color, that this is a rare Florida crocodile that can only be found down in South Florida (once you get a bit closer to the Everglades).

Although angler Nelson won’t reveal his secret fishing honey hole where he regularly has to deal with this crocodile going after his snook and tarpon, we do know that it is an area of South Florida where these rare Florida crocs have been seen.

Crazy footage, and thanks for sharing Nelson! It’s not every day you get to see a crocodile and a tarpon in the same video.

Back in February we posted a very popular video where an Octopus ate a crab near the rocks on a beach (out of the water). The video post was shared quite a bit, and the video ended up going viral (you can see it here).

And then today, we came across a video that is even more impressive that involved an octopus and a crab (as this time the octopus and the crab are both in the water). It is the definitely the ultimate “Octopus chases crab” video I have ever seen.

The entire time I watched this, I was torn… I was rooting for the underdog (the crab) to get away, but at the same time waiting in anticipation for the octopus to finally extend its tentacles long enough to snare the helpless crab…

I won’t ruin the ending for you, but let’s just say that Rosebay Wharf in Sydney, Australia lost another good crab today…

The Giant Trevally (GT) is known as one of the most powerful fish in the sea.

They are a highly sought after sport fish, and to catch a big GT (they get well over 100 pounds) on a fly rod is usually on the bucket list of most avid fly anglers.

These GT are basically built like NFL running backs…

Muscular shoulders, streamlined, and a powerful tail that can sometimes be up to almost half of the size of the fish…giving these GTs some serious get up and go.

In this video, you can see this big pod of bait close to shore, while a blacktip shark slowly approaches from the bottom…

Little does the shark know that he is about to get “nature punked” by 5 incredibly fast Giant Trevally…

These 5 Giant Trevally attack with wicked speed, using their superior swimming abilities and power to hunt and smash the bait fish ball.

And if the GT doesn’t engulf the prey within the first strike, the prey is usually stunned or dead from the strike impact.

Amazing footage of Giant Trevally feeding near the shore!

Sorry shark…better luck next time.

It’s not everyday that you see a sharks smoking a topwater lure…

In fact, most anglers rarely get a glimpse of a shark aggressively going after their lure like they do in this video.

And that is what makes Josh Jorgensen’s (the guy behind BlacktipH) video so amazing…

Not only does he have up close footage of a blacktip shark attacking his topwater lures, he has numerous clips of different sharks coming up for a shot at his topwater plug.

At one point, it looked like two blacktip sharks were fighting over the lure.

Amazing footage Josh!

And according to the video description, this wild footage took almost two months to capture during the blacktip shark migration in Florida.

Glad you took the time to do this one. Definitely one of our favorites yet.
