Everyone loves a 2-for-1 deal!

And our kayak angler friend Zoffinger (check out his YouTube channel here) got a great two for one deal with a pair of jacks (not to be confused with a card hand).

But the most impressive thing was watching Zoffinger dehooking these two jacks from the treble hooks without spilling his beer!

If it had been me, I can almost guarantee my rod would have knocked over my drink during the release.

Well done Zoffinger!

Another great video man.

Enjoy.

The Lionfish Killer Is Back!!!

Note: If you didn’t hear the amazing interview with Alex Fogg (aka The Lionfish Killer) that just went live yesterday called “Meet The Man That Has Killed Over 10,000 Lionfish”, then download and listen to the podcast interview here.

This video below it a recent dive that Alex and his Reef Ranger friends did on a wreck called the Empire Mica off Cape San Blas, Florida.

They ended up filling up their zookeepers and came away with a few hundred pounds of lionfish!

Great job guys!

Thanks for all of the support below sea level to clean up these reefs and wrecks!

Enjoy.

Have you ever seen a snook hit a live bait, get hooked, fight for a few seconds, spit the hook out, and then slam the same hooked bait just seconds later?

Ironically, this same scenario was part of our rebuttal to PETA about catch and release fishing when they made some outrageous claims that fish feel pain the exact same way humans do.

(You can read the full rebuttal to PETA about Catch & Release Fishing here)

One of the many points we made in our rebuttal was asking PETA how can a fish can possibly feel pain from a hook the same way a human would, yet strike a hooked bait just minutes (or seconds) after being hooked?

I know that if someone hooked me in the lip and pulled hard, the last thing I would do is have my face near hooks for quite some time…

At any rate, this awesome snook footage is from our friend Capt. Mike Slattery’s new show called the “Charlotte Harbor Chronicles” that is featured on the Sportsman Channel.

Pretty cool show in our opinion because it is based in Port Charlotte where my brother and I have spent most of our lives fishing.

Check out this super hungry snook that Capt. Mike hooked (twice).

Enjoy.

Tailing, backing, and stalking redfish in super shallow water is pretty tough to beat…

And there is no better time to do it than during the cooler winter months of the redfish “Shallow Season” when many redfish head back in some super skinny water…

As the guy in the video says, “This kind of fishing for redfish is about as close as you can get to hunting without a gun…”

Flyfishing for Reds In The shallows is addictive, and this video shows why. The fish are so shallow the guy has to get out of the boat.

Epic footage and even better camera work.

What do you do when you have a nice land-based 100lb+ Tarpon on the line and a lightning storm starts to move in closer?

Well, our friend Brent Bensmiller (aka SHOORTYS on YouTube) of Paddle Naples says stick it out and land the fish!

Check out the awesome fight he had (you can see the tarpon jumping out in the distance quite a few times), not to mention the amazing sunset and lightning clash!

Very cool.

As you will see towards the end of the video, the tarpon measured 6’7″ with a girth of 34 inches (and was estimated to weigh 130 pounds).

Great job Brent!

Fish On.

We’ve been following Capt. Mike Goodwine (aka “Blackneck Adventures”) for quite some time…

From his long-fought “Free Mike Goodwine” battle with Facebook about having Capt. in his name (which Mike eventually won), to the mogan redfish and snook he is constantly posting on Facebook and Instagram…

Heck, we even got to meet the guy and have a drink with him at a private Guy Harvey party at ICAST this past year.

And I made the prediction that Blackneck Adventures would be one of the BIG names to watch in the upcoming years when I wrote the crazy viral post named, “The Complete List: 85 Must-Know Florida Saltwater Anglers” (see the full list here).

Last week Capt. Mike posted a beast of a redfish in the Salt Strong Fishing Tribe Facebook group that got a ton of comments and likes.

Of course, I couldn’t help notice that he had his 14-inch Salt Strong decal placed strategically in the front of his boat for pics (see below)

blackneck adventures

So I started wondering if Capt. Mike had any good videos of these monster redfish he keeps catching.

Well, it didn’t take me long to find a good one on YouTube.

Check out some of the redfish footage in this compilation below!

FYI, you can hire Blackneck to take you out and catch some monster inshore fish by contacting him here: Blackneckadventures@yahoo.com

Note: I told Capt. Mike that Luke and I will be taking him out fishing with us in 2016 so stay tuned for a fun video (and some monster fish).

Enjoy!

When Heather recently went Goliath Grouper fishing with our friends from Big Bully Outdoors, little did she know that she would be catching not one, but TWO Goliath Grouper!

And she probably didn’t know that the water was going to be so cold that day…

But when you land your very first Goliath, it’s part of the ritual to get in the water and take a pic with the giant fish (it is illegal to take the adult Goliath Grouper out of the water for any reason fyi).

Great job Heather!

Make sure to stick around for the full video as she goes handlining for another Goliath after her cold dip in the water.

Enjoy.

Not even a wheelchair can stop this man from catching redfish!

We absolutely love videos like this.

And not just because our youngest brother Daniel is disabled and in a wheelchair (although that certainly has something to do in terms of why we honor anyone that is disabled).

The main is reason is seeing the smile on this guy’s face…

while many of us are guilty of complaining about a bad day at work, this guy is having the time of his life out on the water, and not even his wheelchair is going to keep him off of that small flats boat so he can catch some redfish.

A Perfect song “Soulshine” by the Allman Brothers to accompany this video.

Big thanks to Coach Chin and Captain Benny Blanco for the awesome skinny water footage.

And huge props to Rob Birk for the inspiration.

Check out this sick drone footage that “Birds-i-View” captured while hovering over the sandbar outside of Destin’s east pass.

If you live anywhere near the Florida panhandle and want to catch sharks, now you know where to go…

Around the :53 mark you can see exactly where this is in Destin.

Finally, if you know what kinds of sharks these are, leave a comment.

Enjoy!
