“They leave giant holes in the water…”

Some amazing tarpon quotes in this new video called “Silver Lining” by World Angling Studios.

Heck, I even got a new fish fist-bump to use by watching it (check it out at the 3:00-minute mark)

But just as important as seeing some amazing silver king footage, this tarpon documentary has does a great job in revealing one of the problems the Florida Keys anglers are fighting in regards to cruise ships messing up the tarpon migration.

As anglers, we all need to get behind the fisheries like the Florida Keys, and this video does a great job of spelling out why putting money and resources into reefs and the marine ecosystem is a wiser choice than spending it on cruise ship passages.

Great message guys (minus the footage of the “adult shirts”, but this video was too powerful to not share).

I love the question, “What kind of legacy do we want to leave the next generation when it comes to fishing in the Florida Keys…”

Good stuff.

And check out the school of tarpon an angler is casting into at the 9:20 mark.

What a dream fishing scenario!!!

Enjoy.

When most of here in America think about tarpon fishing, our mind usually goes to places like Boca Grande, the Florida Keys, or the East Coast Mullet Run…

Note: You can watch “The Best Tarpon Video To Ever Come Out Of Boca Grande” here now

But some of the wildest tarpon fishing goes on in the jungles of Nicaragua.

There was a viral video last year called “Jungle Poon Captured On Film” that gave us a first-hand glimpse of what tarpon fishing in the jungle is like.

And since that first amazing tarpon video, I haven’t seen or heard much about tarpon fishing in Nicaragua… until today…

Our friends over at Getaway Tours in Nicaragua upped the game even more with this brand new video they just released.

I can only imagine they are going to be booked solid with anglers wanting to get a piece of this amazing jungle tarpon fishing experience.

Enjoy.

Everyone always says that there is nothing like fishing for redfish in Louisiana, but they never mentioned Bigfoot.

If you haven’t seen this “Sasquatch” in fishing videos before, it’s the guys behind Lateral Line Media that always seem to find some creative way to get the Squatch (aka Jeff) in a few shots.

In this video, they are out fishing near New Orleans with Al Keller of NOLA Guides going after redfish during last year’s “Polar Vortex…”

Some amazing footage of our beloved redfish during a cold front.

Great job guys.

Enjoy.

Have you ever caught a bonefish before?

If not, you need to check out the amazing bonefish action in this video from South Andros Island in the Bahamas.

Some have called the Legendary Bair’s Lodge as one of the best places to have an amazing bonefish experience on the planet.

And as you will see in this video, anglers Alissa Vinoski (recently named as one of the 33 Must Know Female Anglers in Florida), Ali Hobson, and Patrick Rhea (the same guy that filmed and edited the hit music video “Fishing In Our Soul”) tear it up during a recent weekend at Bair’s Lodge.

Not only is the bonefishing amazing, but so are the people and the fishing guides.

Check out how much fun these guides are having putting people on bonefish.

Cigars, dancing on the poling platform, beer… sign me up!

Enjoy!

Bonefish?

Check.

Permit?

Check.

Tarpon?

Check.

Cuba?

Check.

No wonder they’ve been trying to keep us out of Cuba for so long! This place is one heck of an inshore fishery.

Just wait until you see this amazing fly fishing footage from Cuba put together by Fly Fishing Nation.

These guys had some serious inshore slam hookups!

Even the first 20 seconds where they showed the back-country Cuba mangroves were pretty awesome.

And then after seeing all of the sick tarpon jumps, this had me wanting to head down to Cuba this week.

Pretty amazing fishing.

Enjoy.

Everything is bigger in Texas…

Including their schools of redfish…

So when we saw this amazing Texas redfish video from Casting Tales, we had to post it.

But not just for you, for us as well…

Because we are dying to catch some redfish on a fly like this in Texas, and we can’t wait to knock this off of our bucket list in the near future.

Wait til’ you see how many times they are doubling up (and tripling up) on these schooling reds. What a blast!

Even if you aren’t a big fly angler, this redfish video ought to get you pumped up!

Nothing like seeing (and hearing) redfish schooling and eating like this.

Enjoy!

You know a fishing video is good when footage of a fisherman harpooning a tuna from a tower is just one of many awesome scenes.

In fact, I had a hard time coming up with which thumbnail picture to use because there were so many amazing shots to choose from.

And it doesn’t hurt that the Talking Heads were playing in the background… I love that song.

This fishing compilation video was created by Matt Rissell of Rissell Outdoor Media (you can check out more on Matt here on his business Facebook page)

It appears as though this is a compilation from some of Rissell’s best fishing footage of last year.

Well done and keep up the great work Matt.

We can’t wait to see what you produce next!

Have you ever heard of Alphonse Island?

Most people probably haven’t because it’s a private island in Seychelles that only a very small percentage of Americans ever get to see in their lifetime…

And the place is LOADED with saltwater game fish!

Regardless if you’ve heard of the island or not, after you see this fishing footage from Alphonse, the exclusive island will certainly be on your bucket list.

I mean, check out the little island where they eat lunch every day below!

Also, can you imagine catching a super inshore grand slam topped off with a GT and a billfish or two all in the same day!

Sick!

This Alphonse footage was filmed and edited by Black Fly Eyes, and according to the video this footage below is just the trailer (so there is full-length video coming as well).

We’ll keep you posted when we see it.

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.
