Ever heard of San Blas?

And no, I am not talking about the San Blas in Florida…

I am talking about Panama.

The San Blas Islands of Panama comprise approximately 365 islands and cays (of which only 49 are inhabited).

And as you will see below, these islands are a pretty phenomenal, one of a kind, and tough place to fish.

According to our friends over at AFTCO, the San Blas islands are one of those rare places that can be tough to fish because they are just TOO many incredibly looking places (and little is documented about them).

I don’t know about you, but I will gladly fly in a few extra days early for some recon…

What a place!

And it’s why Panama is certainly one of the top places in the entire world to fish.

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.

This could be one of the best fishing videos that we have seen this year…

Not only is the message incredibly powerful, but the redfish footage is one of a kind awesome.

Color me impressed Shallow Water Expeditions!

They do an amazing job of hitting us all over the head with what we all know to be true (that we are addicted to our cell phones), while also giving us a glimpse of how awesome it can feel when we turn the phones off and hit the water.

Aka – “Getting in touch with what really matters”

You’ll know pretty quickly why this video by our friends over at Shallow Water Expeditions is called, “Out of Touch”.

Great job guys.

Note: Give these stud anglers at Shallow Water Expeditions a shout if you are ever fishing up in the panhandle of Florida and want to get on copious amounts of fish. These guides are the real deal.

The last time that UCF Knights Fishing Club President Ryan Hullilan sent me a video, I was not disappointed (if you never saw the original UCF fishing video, click here to see it now)

So the other day when I saw his name in my inbox again, I quickly opened it up to see a brand spanking new video called, “Mooseville”.

Why Mooseville?

Well, probably because the entire video is these guys catching Monster Moose Reds like these!

Oh by the way, you also get to see some footage of a 40-inch redfish so hungry it hits a lure that already has a trout on it.

TWICE!

Epic.

Ryan, Eddie Twyford (the video editor/angler/VP of the UCF fishing club), and the rest of the UCF fishing crew nailed it on this one.

And after watching this, I guess I can’t blame you guys for heading east from Orlando (although there is some great inshore fishing over here on the west coast as well).

Either way, keep up the great work UCF!

What do you do when you have a nice land-based 100lb+ Tarpon on the line and a lightning storm starts to move in closer?

Well, our friend Brent Bensmiller (aka SHOORTYS on YouTube) of Paddle Naples says stick it out and land the fish!

Check out the awesome fight he had (you can see the tarpon jumping out in the distance quite a few times), not to mention the amazing sunset and lightning clash!

Very cool.

As you will see towards the end of the video, the tarpon measured 6’7″ with a girth of 34 inches (and was estimated to weigh 130 pounds).

Great job Brent!

There are redfish videos, and then there are over the top freaking awesome redfish videos…

And this latest masterpiece by our friends over at Catch 1 Films certainly fits in the freaking awesome redfish video category.

In fact, this video is like watching a mini-movie.

Amazing from start to finish!

Heck, even the aerial footage during the credits at the end are worth sticking around for.

If you ever want to land some redfish like this, then look up Southern Fly Expeditions there in Lousiana (they are anglers that helped make this video possible with Catch 1 Films).

The anglers in this Louisiana redfish video are as follows:

Capt. Brandon Keck (owner of Southern Fly Expeditions)
Jeff Rybak
Frankie Marion
Logan Roberts

Great job guys and we look forward to the next video!

“DJ” Dan Decibel is no stranger to our website…

In fact, his epic videos have been featured five times on our site in the last 12 months (you can see them all here)

And female fly angler Rebecca Courtney almost froze up our site with so many views to her first video on Salt Strong (see it here)

So when I saw that these two anglers came together for a tarpon fishing video, I knew it was going to rock!

Here are just a few things you will see in this amazing tarpon video:

An alligator coming right up the boat
Tons of juvenile tarpon footage
A fast food lady naming the video (OMG)

Great stuff guys!

Keep up the great work.

Note: Here are the full list of characters in this video: Alex Russell, Rebecca Courtney, Dan Decibel, Jason Fernandez, Jeremy Chavez, and Patrick Gringas.

Well, our friend Patrick Rhea of LivitFilms has done it again…

He nailed another amazing inshore fishing video (if you didn’t know, Patrick and his uncle Nick Shirghio were the ones who filmed the 2015 Saltwater Fishing Music Video of the Year, “Fishing In Our Soul”)

But this time he was out there with our friends over at Avid Charters (along with two pro surfers).

The two surfers that ditched their boards for the day to take a shot at some nice redfish and snook are Smith Optics pro surfers CJ Hobgood and Brett Barley.

I can only imagine after seeing that sick mullet run action, those two surfers will be back for more…

The captain in the video is our friend Capt. Rob Rohmann of Avid Charters over on the east coast of Florida.

Check out the amazing footage they captured fishing from Jupiter to Sebastian Inlet.

Enjoy!

A few weeks back, Strong Angler Trey Mikell and his girlfriend Madisen Griffis published some topwater redfish footage that went a bit viral in our private Facebook group called “The Salt Strong Fishing Tribe” (click here to ask permission to join).

So when I came across some of Trey’s amazing redfish footage on YouTube, I knew that I had to share it with all of you.

For those of you that love catching redfish as much as I do, you know that it doesn’t get any better than seeing a big red come up and slam a topwater lure.

In fact, just watching this video has me wanting to skip work and hit the water today (yes, just because I am president of a saltwater fishing company doesn’t mean that I get to fish every day…)

Check this great footage out below.

Keep up the great work Trey and Madisen! You guys are certainly looking Salt Strong!
