Inshore Fishing

by

Patrick Rhea of LivitFilms and his drone flying stud partner Nick Shirghio have done it again!

They have somehow produced back to back saltwater inshore fishing video masterpieces that certainly land each of the videos up in the rankings of top inshore fishing videos of all time.

After coming off a Grand Slam hit video called, “Fishing in our Soul” with Jill’s Cashbox featuring Salt Strong (in our humble opinion the best saltwater inshore video of all time), Patrick and Nick Shirghio hit another home run with Eleven Angling: Bluemoon Expeditions out of Islamorada, Florida with their fly fishing video at the bottom of this page.

Just wait until you see the tarpon footage! Amazing.

But first…

Perhaps The Best Saltwater Inshore Fishing Video Ever Created.

You can download the song “Fishing in our Soul” by Jill’s Cashbox on iTunes by clicking here.

Next, make sure to check out Patrick and Nick’s other over the top video in the last 30 days below.

If you have even been fishing while cameras are rolling, you know that it rarely turns out like this with Tarpon hitting your fly just feet away from the camera and boat. Amazing job!

Enjoy!

P.S. – If you think your saltwater fishing friends would like to see either of these videos, please Tag them or Share it with them. You Rock! Pa-POW!

P.P.S. – Let us know what you think. Are these the two best inshore saltwater fishing videos ever created? Let us know if you have other favorites as well. You won’t hurt our feelings… much.

Did I shock you by switching out my standard “Pa-POW” with a “BOOM”?

Hope so, because this amazing redfish video deserves a big ol’ bang.

I can’t wait for you to see the drone footage and the underwater footage where you get to see the grass flats from the redfish’s perspective.

Pretty sick!

This AFTCO redfish video was done in part with Yeti Coolers and Shimano Fishing, and this is just one of their 4-part short video series filmed by Jason Arnold and edited by Bradford Graham.

The Florida captain in the video is AFTCO Pro Capt. Alonzo Sotillo.

Amazing job AFTCO and team!

This will make anyone want to go out and catch some redfish this week.

Enjoy.

Nothing like the adrenaline rush of fighting a nice shark while on a paddleboard!

And our friend Peter Miller (host of Bass 2 Billfish) shows you exactly how it’s done (without falling over).

You can see a couple of times the shark makes a cut back at Peter and his SUP, forcing Peter to adjust and rebalance so he doesn’t end up wet (and on top of the shark).

The water color is amazing down there in the Florida Keys, and great job of handling the shark on your SUP like a champ!

Peter Miller = Salt Strong

Angler Ricardo Garcia is attempting to do what few have ever conquered…

Landing Goliath Grouper on Inshore tackle.

Here is what he is using:

  • Quantum Smoke Inshore Reel
  • Shimano Teramar 7″ Medium Action Rod
  • 20lb braided line
  • 40lb fluorocarbon leader
  • Small blue crab on a 2/0 Owner circle hook

For those of you that have ever been Big Game fishing, you know this is far from an ideal fishing outfit to land any sort of large, tough fighting fish.

But Ricardo went for it anyways.

And oh by the way, he is only about a mile and a half from the boat ramp, making this the Ultimate Inshore Fishing for Goliath Grouper”.

I won’t ruin what happens, but let’s just say Will Ferrell was right when he said Two Dragons are better than one…

Amazing Goliath Grouper video Ricardo. For anyone that has caught grouper of any size, you know it isn’t easy getting these fish into the boat on this kind of tackle.

You can see him hammering down on the drag and still no slowing down this strong fish.

Thank you for sending it in.

Sorry gents, but after you watch this video, you are forever going to be wondering how you can replace your fishing partner with a great looking girl that can probably also cast better than your current partner…

Heck, I know that I will never be able to look at my brother Luke on the boat without wondering how I can trade him in (haha).

But in all seriousness, this video below is a top-notch fly fishing video produced by Catch 1 Films that features female fly angler Rebecca Courtney catching a couple of small inshore fish in a short fly session.

Regardless of the size of the fish, amazing video. Well done Catch 1 Films and Rebecca Courtney!

And is it just me, or does she kind of look like Katie Holmes? I would have actually watched Dawson’s Creek if it had been more like this video. Perhaps it would have been called “Dawson’s Skinny Water Lagoon”…

We have seen some pretty amazing viral fishing videos this year since my brother and I started Salt Strong.

What’s funny is that it is shockingly hard to predict which fishing videos will actually go Viral.

Some of the videos that I am certain will go viral don’t take off like I thought they would, while others that I would never would have bet money on, end up taking off. However, every now and I then I predict one perfectly (but it is rare).

At the end of the day, you just never know what the majority of people are going to find so amazing they just have to share.

All we can do is keep showing off the very best viral fishing videos and letting you decide.

Finally, since we officially took our site SaltStrong.com on January 1st of this year, it made complete sense to do a Top 10 Most Viral Fishing Videos for the first 6 months of the year.

Because let’s face it, unless you have been coming to our site every day since January, you might have missed a few of these. And there are some pretty sick fishing videos in this list below.

Hope you enjoy!

Probably the best Bull Redfish on topwater footage we have ever seen here at Salt Strong so far (and we have seen a ton of redfish footage).

And just a warning, you might find yourself moving your head up and down dancing to this song and video from the get go…

In this amazing redfish footage, these big reds are exploding on topwater flies in shallow water. The up close and personal footage of these fish is truly art, so big props to both the anglers and the videographers.

The majority of the video is just the strike, and then they show all the fish caught at the end so stay tuned for the full video.

This video describes with no words why so many love to sight fish… these guys are my new heroes.

P.S. – After watching the awesome video below, be sure to pick up one of the premium comfort microfiber fishing shirt if you don’t already have one… click on the image below to see it’s reviews.

FACT: Catching monster snook on a fly rod isn’t easy…

And many times catching the biggest snook on any type of fishing reel requires incredible patience, testing, and travel.

Yep, travel.

And in this video, Todd Moen has to go through a lot to get to his snook honey hole:

  • Trekking through mud for who knows how long
  • Wading up to his chest in unfamiliar waters (with unfamiliar animals in the water like water snakes)
  • Dealing with Mosquitos the size of small birds
  • And when he finally does get in a boat, he realizes he will be on a small canoe for the entire day with little comfort, and certainly no amenities

Regardless of all Todd went through, we thank him for doing it (and for bringing along a camera with him).

Because this is probably one of the very best big Snook on fly videos we have seen yet. You will feel like you are in the canoe with Todd Moen when he puts the smack down on some big Snook with his fly rod.

And this video will have you contemplating trading all your spinning gear in for a buggy whip and a plane ticket to Mexico.

So the question remains, would you go through all of this to catch a big snook on the fly?

I know I sure would.

If you have ever been tarpon fishing before, then you know how tough it can be to land a “Silver King”.

There are just so many variables working against you when it comes to actually landing a tarpon:

  • The tarpon jumping like crazy and throwing the hook
  • If there is structure around (like docks), it can easily break your line, or perhaps even jump over the dock like it did to Blair Wiggins (watch that tarpon video here)
  • Hammerhead sharks eating your tarpon before you get a chance to land it. By the way, if you never saw “Helpless Tarpon Saved from Hammerhead by Dead Jack Decoy”, you’ve got to watch that here next.
  • And numerous other issues including knots breaking, tarpon jumping in boat (like this), or just a bad hook set.

So when I saw this kayaker (Team Googan, and yes, he’s back) somehow manage to land this tarpon after going through weed lines, almost having his rod tip snapped, and more, I was impressed.

Make sure to stick around for the second tarpon that he hooks, because it almost rips him out of the kayak!

He was lucky it just causes a minor line burn on his hand.
