A pretty funny start to this video with a stinky blowfish, but an ever better ending after catching snook, redfish, and tarpon during a hard-hitting incoming tide.

If you recognize some of the faces (and fishing lures), it’s because this is from the same FlatsHQ guys that made, “This Has To Be One Of The Best Redfish Topwater Videos Ever Created”.

And if you recognize the video work, that’s because this video was filmed by Dan Decibel who has been on our site numerous times.

Check out their awesome day of inshore fishing after waiting out a few storms to fish the incoming tide.

Enjoy.

Some spear anglers dive down deep to spear their favorite fish…

While others lay low in a few feet of water and wait for the perfect moment to ambush their favorite fish…

Meet Manos Koum, a spearfisherman that falls in the second camp…

And in this video, Manos patiently waits in just a few feet of water for a perfect kill shot on an unsuspecting predator fish…

Boy, I would say he got it!

I think this even surprised the heck out of him!

Even better is he gets a 2-for-1 fresh sardine that he could use as bait as the fish still had the bait in it’s mouth!

Here is a note from Manos on the type of fish it was in the video:

“It was a Lichia amia or Garrick is a species of marine fish in the Carangidae family, and is native to the Mediterranean and the coastal waters of western Africa to the coastal waters of eastern South Africa.”

Enjoy!

Earlier this morning, we posted a wild video of a Goliath Grouper not only stealing a spearfisherman’s catch, but dragging the diver along with him while he ran off with his spear (watch that video here).

So when we saw our friend Darcizzle (from Darcizzle Offshore) take on a Goliath Grouper for her first time, we had to share it with you.

Darcizzle had an incredibly easy time getting the monster fish up in just the first 30 seconds, but then the Goliath Grouper realized what was going on, and he made a serious run for the structure….

Watch the full battle between Darcizzle and the Goliath Grouper below.

You’ll discover why these pesky large fish can be tough to land.

Enjoy.

She’s back…

Jessica Jae is back on Salt Strong with one of her wildest videos yet…

Live bait fishing for big redfish using a kid’s Barbie rod and reel!

After watching Capt. Krista Tucker land a redfish on barbie rod using a McDonald’s Chicken McNugget (watch that video here), we didn’t think we would see a video that could match it for a long time…

But then Jessica Jae sent us this beast of redfish that she recently (and miraculously) landed on her Barbie rod, in what might possibly be the largest redfish to ever be caught from a Barbie rod and reel.

It even looked like it was going to spool her Barbie rig there for a second.

Amazing job Jessica!

One thing is for sure…

Jessica Jae = Salt Strong

Enjoy!

There is a lesson to be learned from this “fish slap” video…

Never, under any circumstance, try to be funny and claim you have a magical fish bait that is the best in the world…

Why?

Because it is very clear that the fish gods will come and slap you back in place like they did this guy!

Check out what happens after this angler claims he has some super top-secret fishing bait…

Enjoy.

If you have spent any time studying the Bible, you know that Jesus was the ultimate Fisherman, and the ultimate “Fisher Of Men”.

Furthermore, many of the miracles he performed in the Bible involved fish and the water.

So when we saw this funny hidden camera video of a guy dressed up like Jesus pranking random people walking around the lake on his miracle fishing skills, we had to show it.

We think even Jesus would approve of this one.

Enjoy.

Warning: The following video may cause seizures…

And you might have to rewind and watch this one again folks… a lot going on!

Let me give you the brief notes so you know what is happening on in this wild redfish video:

A Florida angler (our friend Joey Antonelli – same guy that took the bite in the family jewels by the triggerfish) has an “In-Line” camera hooked on his leader so it will capture everything the live bait sees
The first couple of seconds of the video he is reeling his line and live bait up
When he tosses the live bait (and weight) back in, check out how many redfish the camera passes!
Within seconds of hitting the bottom, the live bait is getting nailed by redfish

Enjoy.

FACT: 6-year old Sam Adams is incredibly Salt Strong.

Just when you thought a young kid with a name like the iconic beer “Sam Adams” couldn’t get any more awesome, you see him go to battle on the beach with a monster fish and totally impress you ever more.

Not only that, young Sam Adams of New Jersey wasn’t just out spending quality fishing time with his dad that day, he was competing in a fishing tournament!

And this monster striped bass ended up earning him first place in the 2015 LBI Surf Fishing Classic Tournament.

What an awesome moment for Sam, his dad, and everyone involved.

No doubt Sam will go on to catch larger fish (since he is already breaking records at age 6), but this will be one that he will never forget.

Here are a couple of pics of the striped bass that Sam caught.

Check out how big that thing is compared to him!

I put these pics in because the video below doesn’t do a great job of showing the actual fish, but still worth the watch to see this young guy go to battle on the beach.

And don’t forget to check out the video below.

Enjoy!

This is probably the second best (or worse, depending on what side of the boat you are on) up close boat spray that we have seen here at Salt Strong…

The worst one being the viral video from a few months back when the “Speedo guy” picked a fight with a boat motor (you can watch that hilarious video here).

But at either rate, this young fellow probably learned a lesson to never sit behind a running boat motor… especially when the boat is manned by teenagers…

Enjoy.

Important Note: Do NOT try this at home.
