Is there such thing as an entire school of redfish without spots?

Makes you wonder after Capt. Jimmy Nelson (from Extreme Fishing Adventures) and Luiza Barros (from Fishing With Luiza) catch back-to-back redfish without spots in the exact same area.

Jimmy and Luiza were fishing in the Crystal River, FL area (doing some filming) when they caught these two spotless reds in a matter of a few minutes from each other.

Amazing!

Capt. Jimmy + Luiza = Redfish Strong!

Have you caught a redfish without spots?

Ever caught two in a row?

Let us know in the comments.

Tons of tarpon…

Endless amounts of mangroves to fish without ever seeing another boat…

A mothership filled with food and beer…

Tell me where to sign!

I’ve got to give some props to Eleven Experience (a company that creates amazing outdoor experiences in cool places all over the world) for their new video on Experiencing The Everglades.

In reality, it’s a commercial, but they did such a great job it doesn’t feel like one (and no, they are NOT paying me to post this).

Check out the epic tarpon Slo-Mo around the :50 mark!

Enjoy.

If you are an inshore fisherman, there is nothing like seeing tailing redfish.

Your heart beats faster, you realize you have to make a perfect cast to get your bait or lure right in front of the redfish’s face, and you know that you have to do it quickly (before the redfish changes course or gets spooked).

Well, Capt. Lawson Builder and his buddy Paul Puckett decided to go out and find some tailing redfish using their drone.

They got some amazing footage, but I still have one question…

Why didn’t anyone try to catch these tailing reds? I know Capt. Lawson is a pro at catching redfish.

Either way, at least now they know how to find them quickly in the future using a drone. Pretty cool.

Enjoy.

A while back I posted a redfish video that went a bit Viral, while at the same time causing some controversy.

Why?

Because the title was, “Biggest School of Redfish Ever Captured on Film? (you can watch it here).

And in that amazing redfish video, I asked viewers to show me a larger school of redfish that was captured on video.

Of course, I heard from countless anglers saying they had seen larger schools of redfish, but no one had any spectacular footage, and in the vast majority of cases, no footage at all.

Except for two people…

We already posted one of the videos last week that was submitted by a Salt Strong viewer called, “Wait til you see why this guy is screaming HOLY REDFISH!” (you can watch it here).

Below is the second submission that was pretty freaking amazing. It was all filmed off of Jacksonville, Florida.

And what I really love about this one is they took the drone up to get some aerial footage of the redfish.

Some absolute monster redfish in that school!

Amazing job Mike Pedigo and friends!

Enjoy.

It’s tarpon time!

Normally the best tarpon videos we’ve seen have come out of Florida… from Boca Grande to the Florida Keys to the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area during the mullet run, Florida is definitely the tarpon capital of the world.

But today, we came across an awesome tarpon video out of Mexico.

These anglers went out with the Mendoza Fly Company and fished for tarpon in Ascension Bay, Mexico.

Check out the sick drone footage of them hooking into a tarpon, not to mention some of the other amazing “by catch” they landed while tarpon fishing in Mexico.

Looks like a must-do fishing trip!

Enjoy.

Two Words…

REDFISH STRONG.

Our friend Brandon Barton is probably one of the best saltwater kayak anglers in the state of Florida.

And this video proves it.

Most anglers would have lost this redfish long before the 1:00-minute mark of this fight.

But not Brandon. The dude just wouldn’t give up on this fish…

From getting completely out of his kayak to having his line wrapped around debris under the dock, this is certainly a catch he will never forget.

Thank goodness he had his GoPros filming.

What an insane battle! Great job Brandon. You are certainly Redfish Strong!

Remember last week when we published a blog asking if fishing was a sport or hobby? (see that post here)

Well, I think after you see this video below, we can all agree that fishing is a sport.

Watching this was giving me flashbacks of “Old Man And The Sea!”

Both the tarpon and the man were physically whipped… neither of them wanting to give up, give in, or accept defeat.

After one hour and 40 minutes of Man vs. Tarpon, they both win as man gets to touch the leader for a catch, while the tarpon gets to live another day with a quick release next to the boat.

The angler in the video is Harri Hotti, and you could tell he was used to being out there in his Maverick flats boat alone fighting silver kings.

Amazing fight!

Angler Harri Hotti = Salt Strong

Enjoy.

Back by popular demand…

Silver Kings recently announced a season 3 of their popular TV fishing show where they chase after tarpon.

You can tell they are having some fun now like when they embarrassed Capt. Jared Raskob for having a tough time in front of the camera in the beginning. I’ve been there before!

In case you missed the first two Silver Kings trailers, here they are:

“Is This The Second Best Tarpon Trailer Ever Made? You’ve Got To See This!” – Silver Kings Trailer Year 1
“The South Florida Tarpon Trailer That Will Leave You With Goosebumps” – Silver Kings Trailer Year 2

What do you think?

Are you excited for Season 3?

Enjoy.

Holy Giant Trevally Awesomefest!

Ever since YETI Coolers sold $100 million of stainless steel cups, they have been putting out some pretty amazing short film features.

But this one takes the cake!

In this video, YETI follows around the Alphonse Fishing Company as they wade the flats of the Cosmoledo Atoll (aka “Cosmo”, which is part of the Seychelles chain of islands), hoping for a shot at Giant Trevally.

They catch everything from bonefish to permit to triggerfish and then go after the monster GTs!

If you don’t get fired up about fishing around the 5:40 mark and beyond, then you don’t love flats fishing.

That music combined with the absolute annihilation of GTs is pretty epic.

Oh, and be prepared for an emotional ending.

Enjoy!
