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.
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).
Our friends over at Salty Roots really nailed it on this tarpon video.
And talk about some amazing tarpon footage all from either a kayak or a paddleboard. Impressive stuff!
At one point in the video, a tarpon almost jumps into the guy’s yak!
From the notes in the video, all of this silver king footage was taken along the Cocoa Beach to Sebastion area, and I can only assume it was during the mullet run from last year.
Great job gents!
The beast of a tarpon making his run (with some amazing aerial moves) at the end was the perfect capper.
There is nothing like seeing a redfish come up and slam your topwater lure…
Especially when you can get a redfish to hit a topwater in the winter time like this video below from our friend Trey Mikell.
If his name sounds familiar, it’s because he made the Salt Strong viral video page before with another amazing topwater redfish video (you can see it here).
I ended up watching this redfish video a couple of times it was so awesome… the sound of the hit combined with the sound of the drag were like a beacon calling me to the flats…
Enjoy.
And great job Trey!

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.
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).
A while back, a video of a guy catching a “boat load” of sheepshead in his cast net went a bit viral (and created a ton of comments and opinions) in our Private Salt Strong Fishing Tribe Facebook Group.
Note: (If you aren’t a member of the Salt Strong Fishing Tribe Facebook Group with 28,000+ anglers yet, click here to request permission to join).
So here is what we could find out about this wild sheepshead cast netting video.
The guy with the net is a commercial fisherman and he was catching these while not on duty to feed his family while on the Anna Maria Island City Pier in Florida.
And quite honestly, if you are skilled enough to throw a 12-foot net off a dock and not completely rip it up from structure (not to mention, avoiding any getting any bycatch caught in your net), then you deserve every fish that you catch…
I still don’t know how there this many sheepshead in an area where he could get away throwing a net and not having it get snagged on some structure of some sort. And the fact that this many sheepshead didn’t see the net is amazing!
Note: For any beginners to fishing that are reading this, using a cast net like this is NOT the recommended way to catch a sheepshead. This is for experienced commercial anglers only.
Ever seen anyone catch more sheepshead in a cast net?
Let us know in the comments.
Enjoy.
