Explosive Bites

by

When Captain Ben Chancey says it is the biggest Goliath Grouper he has ever seen, then you know it is a BEAST!

If you don’t know Capt. Chancey from “Chew On This TV”, he has tens of millions of views on YouTube with his Goliath Grouper catches, and he has certainly been a part of more Goliath Grouper records than anyone else.

In this video below, Captain Chancey has a young kid named Max from Georgia that is fighting a bonita near the boat, and this beast of a Goliath comes up and snatches it.

Capt Chancey’s notes say it could have easily been a world record if landed, but of course, not on that rod and reel. Capt. Chancey estimated this Goliath Grouper at 700lbs!

Enjoy!

Wait for it…

Wait for it…

Wait for it…

Pa-POW!

This is one of the craziest spearfishing videos I have seen yet (and I have seen a lot of them)!

While a monkfish was waiting behind a rock to sabotage an unsuspecting bait fish, he had the surprise of his life to find out he was biting down on a stainless steel spear shaft instead of a fish…

Not sure who was more surprised, the monkfish or the diver…

As you will see, the attack snapped one of the spear bands, but with one still left, the diver was able to score a nice monkfish meal with an easy shot to the head once the monkfish let go of his spear.

NUTS!!!

Enjoy this one and don’t forget to share this one when you are done watching it a couple of times (I had to watch it about 4 times to make sure what I was seeing was real!).

THIS…

IS…

PAINFUL!

And his friends laughing hysterically at him make this hilariously painful spearfishing video even that much better!

When we saw our friend Joey Antonelli’s video title “Triggerfish Gone Nuttz”, we first thought to ourselves, “No way.”

But then we watched the video…

And after replaying it a couple of times last night I literally had tears coming down my face.

I won’t ruin it for you, but let’s just say this was a painful spearfishing experience. And you know it is serious when you have to pull a sharp dive knife out and direct it towards your family jewels.

By the way, these triggerfish have some of the meanest teeth in the ocean!

Wowzers!

Enjoy!

WARNING: You will want to watch this video more than once to see where the heck this Goliath Grouper came from!

If you have ever been freediving/spearfishing before, then you know just how painful this is to watch.

Because when you are freediving there is so much effort, time, and precious breath that goes into every kill shot… and there is nothing worse than having your hard work taken away from you…

And when Ben Carlson speared this nice Snapper while freediving, the last thing he saw coming was a hungry Goliath Grouper just waiting to capitalize on Ben’s hard work.

Ben was incredibly lucky to get his spear back, although if you look closely you can tell that the spear was bent a little bit.

And oh, by the way, if you thought that a freediver’s worst nightmare was a shark, you would be surprised to know that most freedivers would rather see a shark than lose a nice fish. Not to mention, Goliath Groupers can be more aggressive than almost all sharks when attacking your fish on a spear (there are of course a few exceptions like nasty bull sharks).

A great video from our friend BlacktipH shows some video proof that Goliath Grouper are more aggressive than sharks. You can watch it here.

This is Why You Should Always Watch Out For Goliath Grouper After Spearing A Fish!

I won’t ruin it for you, but let’s just say most of us would have soiled our wetsuit…

I watched this over a few times and it is crazy how close the Goliath comes to the diver’s hand!

Not sure if he saw it coming or not, but either way, if you have ever been in the water next to these monster fish, you know they can be intimidating.

My brother Luke and I had a run in with a big Goliath just a few weeks in Islamorada, and I can assure you that you never want one of those beastly fish getting aggressive next to you.

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.

Holy Smokes!

It’s not every day that you get to see a Snook going after a Largemouth Bass!

And certainly not a snook and bass of this size.

Fortunately for us, Capt. Danny Barrow of GoSnookFishing was fishing in some brackish area of Florida (where saltwater meets freshwater), and he happened to have his phone to capture this entire event on film.

Capt. Danny had a comment on his Facebook feed about the video and said the Snook was more realistically in the 40lb range, but we can’t blame any fisherman for extending the size of the fish in the heat of the moment…

Thanks to our friends over at The Guy Harvey Online Fisherman for getting Capt. Danny’s video on YouTube so we could all enjoy.

This entire video is magnificently CRaZy!

To begin, there is an angler on a docked boat fighting a juvenile tarpon all within a very small gap in between two boats that are moored very closely together (not even the Tarpon anglers in Boca Grande Pass want to be this close when fighting a Tarpon…)

Then you have a lady yelling about a Crocodile (this is an Alligator)…

Then you have the most obvious out of place element, the Alligator in the marina basin!

According to the YouTube video description: The angler (Linskey) was fishing with Double R’s Fishing & Tour Company, in Naples, Florida.

I won’t ruin the ending for you… check it out for yourself.

Let us know your thoughts on this video. Seems like they could have easily pulled the tarpon out of the water, and the lady laughing at the end doesn’t exactly scream “Respect the fish…”

And a big thanks to our friend Ben Romas over at Field & Stream for shooting this video out.

It’s a FACT.

Big Grouper can be incredibly aggressive fish.

Just ask Josh Jorgensen of BlacktipH after he filmed the video, “Proof that Goliath Groupers Attack More Aggressively Than Sharks!” (watch it here)

But never have I seen a grouper try to take down a live fish that is almost as long as the grouper itself!

Check out what an underwater ROV (Remotely Operated) camera picked up at the bottom of an oil rig in Texas in the video below.

I won’t ruin it for you, but let’s just say that the Grouper might have bit off a bit more than he could chew with this big Amberjack! It looks like he is trying to “Choke” it down…

A big thanks to Keith Ludwig for pointing out that this is a Warsaw Grouper.
