Who said fisherman can’t adapt and catch fish for their family just about anywhere… with anything!

I’m still not exactly sure what city this video takes place in (somewhere in South America), but either way, kudos for these fisherman that gave an old tarp a shot in a small river.

As you will see in the video, these men drag a big tarp through a shallow river in hopes that the fish (presumably some type of carp) will jump up on the tarp.

The video’s notes (from Roberto Lenz) describe the entire video with just one short sentence…

“Net Fishing Is For Bobos”

Not exactly sure which definition of Bobo that Roberto is referencing (here is a link to the hilarious “Urban Dictionary” interpretation of “Bobos”), but regardless, we get the hint.

My question is, how many men does it take to pull the tarp out of the river once loaded down with water and fish? That has to be incredibly heavy!

Perhaps that will be part II…

Enjoy this “Freshwater Friday” video below!

NOTE: These men were not breaking any rules, and the city did not really ask them to stop using nets. This was all in good fun for Freshwater Friday. So get over it PETA.

Yep, this is the same gal that made it on our home page a couple weeks ago with her uncanny ability to throw a 10ft cast net like a champ!

This female angler’s name is Jessica Jae, and in this video she is attempting to land a Goliath Grouper using a handline somewhere in Florida.

I remember my dad and my grandfather always telling me about an “Unsinkable boat” way back in the day that we all know as a Boston Whaler…

But did you know there is another boat that could be the strongest (aka Salt Strong) and the most “Unsinkable” out there?

Yep.

The boat is called Seahunter, and they make everything from a flats boat to a tournament 45′ (just released) out of their office in Alabama.

And they are certainly not afraid to put their boats up to the test.

Wait until you see what they do to this beautiful boat!!! Amazing!

Thanks to Nic Turner in Hawaii for sending this one in.

Seahunter Boats = Salt Strong

Happy Freshwater Friday!

While I was looking around for an awesome freshwater video last night, I saw this recently posted video of a Norwegian guy holding a spinning reel upside down…

Needless to say, I was curious… so I clicked on the video, and to my complete shock, it only got WORSE.

Apparently this is a pretty famous journalist and backpacker (he goes on extreme exploration trips) named Lars Monsen from Norway.

And you would like to believe he was doing this a spoof, but I found no mention of it being a spoof when I had all of the comments translated. But then again, I don’t know jack about Norwegians.

Spoof or not, this is a good lesson on how NOT to use a spinning reel.

Enjoy and Fish On this weekend!

I can only imagine that when Donald Trump saw how this billionaire Norwegian hotel tycoon opened up this luxury hotel, he shook his head and said, “You should be fired Petter… your dismount was NOT Salt Strong at all”

Petter Stordalen, known for his famous Nordic Choice Hotels brand, decided he would be James Bond for the day during the opening of the Clarion Malmo in Sweden by recreating a boat/jet ski scene from a Bond movie.

Here is what was supposed to happen: Petter does his twirly twirls on his jet ski, then whizzes it up onto the dock ramp as he times his jump perfectly to land on his feet while the fireworks explode…

But apparently no one told Petter to let off on the gas before he hit the dock…

Not to mention, no one told him that they replaced the jello with concrete stairs…

And did I hear him say, “MER-MAN?” at the end?

You can tell from his face that he is in some pain, and I bet immediately after this opening he went to the doctor (or chiropractor) to get his back checked out.

OUCH!

You certainly won’t ever seen our country’s outrageous hotel tycoon Donald Trump pull a stunt like this!

When I first clicked on this video, I started to wonder what kind of video was this?

You’ve got a dude with his shirt off, a GoPro next to his crotchal region, you can’t see his shorts, and there are a bunch of small fish around…

But low and behold, this is a family friendly video for everyone to enjoy!

And you are going to be blown away when you see little Nemo jump clear out of the water and latch on to this guy’s nipple.

Now that I think about it, he should be awfully glad he had his pants on…

Here is a quick note from the original video:

Boater’s Outlet employee Wyatt Green gets bit on the teet while trying to relax with the fish down at Lake Powell. Make sure to pack some pasties on your next visit.

When your mama tells you to NEVER get into the back of a creepy van with no windows, she meant it for life!

And as this (lucky to be alive) waverunner driver found out the hard way, it is never smart to run a waverunner (or type of boat) into the back of a van.

I mean, did these people really think this could work?

Those waverunners weigh anywhere from 750 to well over 1,000 pounds, not to mention the incredible weight that the actual water adds to the mix.

We are glad that no one was seriously hurt, and very glad someone had the camera running on these googans!

And add this boat ramp tomfoolery to the all-time boat ramp fails!

I’ve got to confess that ever since I saw Hunter Skipper go Snook Fishing from one of these “Flyboards”, I have been dying to try it.

And by the way, if you never saw the amazing video of Hunter fighting a Snook on one of these “water jet packs”, then you must watch it here next.

Back to the video at hand…

Even though there is no actual fishing going on in this video, I consider it Salt Strong as I know that mastering one of these flyboards can’t be that easy.

And I am sure we can all agree that the one piece of equipment that would have made the video near perfect would be a fishing rod for each of these flyboarders!

At any rate, enjoy this amazing video and let us know if you ever catch a fish from one of these jet packing flyboards!

Did you ever see the hit movie, “Old School” with Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, and Luke Wilson?

In the hilarious comedy, there is a “funeral scene” where Will Ferrell sings (or more like butchers) the song “Dust In The Wind” after one of their oldest pledge brothers “Blue” passes away after an extreme KY wrestling match…

Well, the Salt Strong brothers saw an opportunity to not only have some fun recreating a funny fishing video, but to also raise a little bit of awareness to using Circle Hooks over J-hooks.

WARNING: You will probably want to watch this video more than once.

Note: You wouldn’t believe how many takes we had to do as we couldn’t stop laughing when our boy Richard hit the high notes.
