Last week we had a fishing video that took place somewhere in Asia that went viral on our site called, “You Won’t Believe What This 6-Year Old Wearing A HELLO KITTY Jacket Muscles Up!” .

And in that video a young 6-year old girl is fishing for big fish in a man-made “fishing reservoirs” over in Asia (some comments say Singapore, but we haven’t confirmed that).

Well this video below has another girl (not 6 years old) that is catching an ever bigger fish in one of these fishing reservoirs in Asia.

Now before you go ripping on either video because they aren’t catching the fish “out in the wild” like you and me, remember that in some countries in Asia it is illegal to enjoy the same kind of recreational fishing that we have in the States.

So much of the saltwater fishing by the non-commercial anglers is done in private, man-made saltwater reservoirs like this.

Moreover, some of these people are learning how to fish for their very first time in these man-made saltwater fishing reservoirs (although this girl appears to have some experience fighting big fish)… and based on the smiles on their faces, we shouldn’t fault or get negative because they are having an amazing experience that we take for granted over here in America.

Not to mention, they are catching some pretty big fish on pretty bad fishing equipment…

At either rate, enjoy the video below of this girl hooking into a fish that probably fed her family for a long time.

And watch the line coming off the end of her rod. There isn’t even a top rod tip!

Nothing short of a miracle that she landed this big fish!

Now this is how you catch a big tarpon from the beach!

If you aren’t familiar with our friend “Team Googan”, he has made multiple appearances on the Salt Strong video page.

Here are a few of his “Must See” fishing videos:

  • “Wait til’ You See This Kayaker Land A Sailfish On A YoYo!” (watch it here)
  • “Kayaker Experiences One Of The Wildest Tarpon Fights Ever Caught On Film!” (watch it here)

Now check out this solid tarpon fight from the beach during the mullet run.

Well done Team Googan!

Have you ever been to Red Lobster before?

I remember going to Red Lobster as a kid and being so amazed that the adults could point to their favorite lobster in the big lobster tank up front, and then have it on their plate steaming hot in butter just 30 minutes later…

Well, this video below is kind of like Red Lobster with Goliath Grouper… except of course they aren’t keeping (or eating) the Goliath Grouper.

But they do dive down to this amazing shipwreck, check out the Goliaths and get some awesome underwater footage of them, pick out a couple of the big boys that they want to catch, and then proceed to hook up with two nice Goliath Grouper on handlines.

Great job Show Me The Snapper! (The same guy that recently made our home page with “Ever Wonder What A Shark Sees Right Before It Attacks A Hooked Grouper? – you can watch it here)

And many from well-known saltwater fishing celebrities that you will surely recognize. Great job on putting this together BlacktipH!

What were you doing in your spare time when you were 16 years old

Chances are good that you weren’t catching 43-inch SLOB Snook from a public pier like it was going out of style…

But that is exactly what 16-year old Ryan Izquierdo (he turns 17 this Friday so a Big Happy Birthday Ryan) and his buddies do any chance they get…

Whether it be on someone’s boat, the beach, or this Snook-infested pier (Juno Beach Pier), these guys are outside getting their fill of fishing.

In fact, catching monster fish is all Ryan thinks about… his ultimate goal would be to have his own boat and to make a living on the water teaching others how to catch fish.

Makes me proud to see teenagers like this out there with a burning desire to fish and to help others catch fish. Certainly millions of times better than staying inside stuck to their phones or an Xbox…

And yes, this is the same “Snooky” Juno Beach Pier that we featured a couple of weeks ago where some anglers jumped into the water. It was called, “These Anglers Jump Into The Largest School Of Spawning Snook Ever Caught On Video!” (you can watch it here).

Great job Ryan!

Keep on fishing man!

Our friend Capt. Andrew and Mallory Herzog from Big Bully Outdoors first made an appearance on our site way back in February with their amazing video titled, “13’7 Hammerhead Shark Caught From The Beach!” (you can watch it here).

And now they are back as the Salt Strong daily featured video once again!

This time with a wild Goliath Grouper video from Boca Grande, Florida.

I won’t ruin the reason that Alan from the FWC (Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission) acted fast by putting his arm down this big Goliath Grouper’s mouth…

Let’s just say that everything about his brave move was “PURE STEEL“…

Great job Big Bully Outdoors, great job Tom on the nice Goliath, and amazing save by Alan.

When Captain Ben Chancey says it is the biggest Goliath Grouper he has ever seen, then you know it is a BEAST!

If you don’t know Capt. Chancey from “Chew On This TV”, he has tens of millions of views on YouTube with his Goliath Grouper catches, and he has certainly been a part of more Goliath Grouper records than anyone else.

In this video below, Captain Chancey has a young kid named Max from Georgia that is fighting a bonita near the boat, and this beast of a Goliath comes up and snatches it.

Capt Chancey’s notes say it could have easily been a world record if landed, but of course, not on that rod and reel. Capt. Chancey estimated this Goliath Grouper at 700lbs!

Enjoy!

When Luke and I started Salt Strong in January of this year, one of the most exciting Goliath Grouper video ever filmed was a girl named Deidra Bridger (Tenacity Fishing) landing a Goliath using a hand line (you can watch that video here).

Besides a few other grouper hand line videos, and a few videos of Goliaths coming up and stealing angler’s fish, there wasn’t that much out there…

But all of that changed this year… in a BIG way.

And Capt. Ben Chancey of Chew on This has been behind almost every one of the monumental Goliath Grouper catches this year.

Everything from the record Goliath out a kayak, the first ever girl to land a Goliath out of a kayak (Ben’s daughter), and even a Goliath Grouper landed from a stand up paddleboard (you can see that video here)!

And now this…

Not one, but two Goliath Grouper landed from inner tubes in the same day. According to Capt. Ben Chancey, the world record set was this is the largest Goliath Grouper ever caught from an inner tube.

Here is the quick story from Capt Ben.

Captain Jon Black of the Crazy Lure Tackle Shop in Cape Coral spent 34 minutes landing this monstrous 7 feet 11 inch long by 5 feet 9 inches around Goliath Grouper that is estimated to weigh between 675 and 725 pounds.

Note: There is a second video below where you can watch Capt. Ben Chancey land his Goliath from an inner tube as well.

Andres from Terra Australis is CRAZY!

We have watched this guy dive before, and he isn’t scared of anything!

These were the same guys that did the video, “Diver Feeds Seal And This Stingray Kisses Him For It” (watch that one here).

At any rate, in this video, after Andres tires out from teasing the Giant Cod (aka Giant Grouper or Australian Groper) with lobster head, he gets in the water tries to feed the giant grouper the lobster head…

But instead of the giant fish simply taking the lobster head (aka “cray”) and leaving, it bites down on the rope, Andres refuses to let go, and he ends up getting towed by the giant fish!

And they took the footage of it all underwater!

Note: You are of course free to watch the full video, but the beginning is just chatting. If you just want the good stuff, fast forward to the 1:50 mark and start watching from there.

Enjoy!
