There are three things in the outdoors that I can watch for hours…

Waves hitting the beach
Staring at a fire while camping
Tarpon feeding

So when I started watching this awesome tarpon feeding footage from Capt. Wade Pryor and Shelley Green down in the Florida Keys, I could have sworn that tarpon came up and took a bite on the GoPro!

Thankfully they did a slo-mo instant replay that confirmed what I thought.

That’s when you know you have some hungry tarpon!

Enjoy.

Our friends over at Stellwagen Media have done it again…

They’ve created a masterpiece while at the same time leaving us with a question.

In this case, is the Tarpon (aka Silver King) the “Perfect Fish”?

If there was only one saltwater fish left in the world to catch, I have to imagine many anglers would pick the tarpon.

You can’t keep it, you can’t eat it, but it certainly could be the best sport fish in the world.

The tarpon quote in the video by Travis Holeman is epic:

“This fish is, without a doubt, 100% the baddest critter crawling around in the ocean…”

So what do you think? Is the tarpon “The Perfect Fish”?

Let us know in the comments.

Not since the super-viral video, “Dolphin Captures Big Snook On Film” have we seen a snook manhandled this badly by a porpoise on film…

Sadly, another snook bites the dust by the snout of a dolphin.

In this video, Angler Jeff Palmer filmed this dolphin playfully flinging a snook before grabbing it and taking it with him for his next meal.

And as you will see in this up and close footage, the dolphin was stunning the snook (not really “toying or playing” with it) before putting an end to the fun.

Nature at work.

Big thanks to our friend Rob Chapman for sending this over.

Is there anything better than seeing a redfish coming out of the water and hitting a topwater plug, fly, or popper in less than two feet of water?

I think not.

And if you agree, then you will absolutely love seeing this sight fishing redfish video below (even if you aren’t a fly angler).

Countless redfish attacks, some up close shots of the reds smacking the fly, and even some shots of the landed fish towards the end.

Great job Capt. Kyle Staton, Capt. Rhett Gehring, and Bryan Daniels on the fly footage.

Enjoy.

Ever heard of a Redfish Machine Gun?

Until I saw this video, I had never heard of one either.

But apparently they are brutally strong, accurate, and fun to shoot.

And if you have a fishing buddy that is annoying you, it is a great way to knock them in the water. Haha.

The guys from Badfish looked like they had a great time filming this footage of some flood tide fly fishing around Jacksonville Beach, FL.

Great job gents.

Pa-POW!

Pa-POW!

Nothing like seeing a redfish come up and CRUSH a topwater plug!

Especially when the water conditions are perfect like they are in this video below by Trey Mikell.

If you missed Trey’s earlier video called, “If This Topwater Redfish Action Doesn’t Excite You, Then Nothing Will” (you can watch it here)

This guy has certainly mastered the art of catching redfish on topwater lures.

I can only imagine his entire tacklebox is full of his favorite topwater plugs.

Well done Trey.

Keep the videos coming.

Step over Nicaragua jungle tarpon, the Costa Rican poon has taken center stage!

If you missed the viral tarpon video “Jungle Tarpon Captured On Slo-Mo Film” (you can watch it here now), you might recall that they were back in the Nicaraguan jungle chasing down some monster tarpon.

And until now, there wasn’t a jungle tarpon video that could compete…

Well, in this brand new video from Solid Adventures attempts to knock Nicaragua off it’s thrown as the jungle tarpon capital of the world.

Just wait until you see what these anglers go through to get a shot at the silver king!

They have to jump in the jungle water and dive under branches to free line, they have to wade in water that is full of crocs, and they even save goats and baby horses along the way…

Well done guys.

Amazing video. Makes me want to head back to Costa Rica!

Enjoy.

Here at Salt Strong, we come across a TON of fishing videos…

Some are good, some are great, and some are nothing short of amazing.

Well, this video below from Dustin Dykes and Savage Charters (with Capt. Chris Law) fits in the amazing bucket.

As you will see below, it is nothing short of every inshore angler’s dream… to see and catch tons of inshore fish. And they didn’t just capture one species on film… their drone footage captured just about every inshore Florida fish imaginable.

In fact, the worst part of this video was all of the time it took me to agree on a headline for the post. There was just so much over the top footage that I couldn’t decide on what to focus on!

For instance, in this amazing Boca Grande video, you’ll get:

A bird’s eye view of how many fish (and how they move) on a Florida grass flat
What happens when a shark comes up to a school of tarpon (the drone footage of this is epic)
And a whole lot more!

If this doesn’t make you want to fish Boca Grande, then nothing will.

Enjoy!

Spotted Seatrout.

Speckled Trout.

Speck.

Rod Thief.

Whatever you want to call our beloved saltwater trout, this video will show you just how aggressive they can be right next to your boat (with lots of noise going on).

In the crazy video below, the Salt Strong brothers are out with Chris Clark, the winner of the April Salt Strong Online Fishing Tournament’s Strongest Catch near Anclote Key, Florida.

And while Luke was reeling in a decent redfish, Joe (being the nice brother that he is) put his rod down for a minute to help get some video footage for Luke. But since I was using a Berkley Gulp Shad (that tends to dry out really quickly in the hot sun), I left it dangling in the water a few inches to give make sure it stayed wet…

I mean, how much harm could happen in 10 minutes while we waited for Luke to land his redfish?

Apparently quite a bit!

Check out what happens! Thankfully we had plenty of fresh water on board, not to mention, the Shimano Ci4 Stradic has sealed bearings so this reel should be ok long run (Note: I used it a fishing tournament this past week and it did great).

Enjoy the videos shown below:
