Holy Roosterfish!

And from a beach no less.

At one point this angler thinks he lost the fish, when in reality it was swimming right back at him.

And then it took off back down the beach to point of almost needing its passport because it was on the next island…

Check out the pics at the end of the video showing how big this beast of a Roosterfish was.

What a trophy catch!

The video didn’t say where it was filmed, but I am guessing Costa Rica or Panama.

Where do you think it was? Leave us a comment.

Enjoy.

If you never saw the original video where BlacktipH and the “LakeForkGuy” go fishing for monster stingrays and The Lake Fork Guy slips, falls, and loses approximately $3,000 of equipment to the stingray, then you have to watch that video first right here.

And if you saw it and need a reminder of what went in the water during that video, here is what he lost (and later regained):

  • Shimano Stella STL 10000 Reel ($1,109.00 here on Amazon)
  • Shimano Terez Rod – Somewhere between $389 and $700 depending on what Terez version they were using
  • New GoPro Black Version: $400
  • Lake Fork Guy’s Dignity: Priceless

So when I heard that BlacktipH and LakeForkGuy were going to head back to the exact same dock and do it all over again, I had to watch.

Note: this time Mr. Lake Fork came prepared… no more flipflops…

Watch the redemption rematch between angler and stingray (spotted eagle ray) from a dock below.

Enjoy.

WARNING: The following footage is not suitable for PETA members.

In all seriousness, our friends over at Stellwagen Media just released another amazing video simply titled, “Predation”.

And in this video below they capture some amazing footage of the predation and forage that occurs every year in our fisheries.

Heck, you might even learn something about why certain bait fish move out offshore as the water cools.

And if you are anything like me, the site of all of this bait and birds has me wanting to hit the water and wet a line today!

Excellent job Stellwagen!

Stuart Hayim is a a life saver…

Because not only does retired powerboat racing legend Stuart Hayim save his life (along with two others) by avoiding a deadly boat crash, but Stuart is also doing some big things in regards to saving lives by raising money for cancer research in this wild boat ride.

You see, this accident (all caught on film) happened during a Cancer Charity Event where Stuart was raising $250,000 to be donated to the Don Monti Foundation for cancer research (Don Monti was a 16-year old boy that lost his battle to cancer).

And Stuart Hayim, a cancer survivor himself, was attempting to break his own record in an attempt to not only raise money, but to provide hope & inspiration to others that are battling cancer.

Stuart certainly has some amazing reflexes still, and he and the crew are certainly lucky that he did a solid job of avoiding catastrophe at the last second.

Clearly a competitive guy that doesn’t like to lose, Stuart kept on the throttle in the fog to give every effort to raise the $250,000 for the cancer research.

Below is the on-board footage from when Stuart Hayim hitting a marker buoy while attempting an approx 150MPH world record run around Long Island.

Make sure to stick around until the end as they show the damage to the boat. Wow!

The Cabo San Lucas Marina is one of the most well-known and famous marinas for sport fishing in the world.

On any given day, you will see more charter boats coming back into port with flags flying high for all of the billfish, tuna, and other sport fish that they landed that day than almost any other marina out there.

Yours truly even landed his first striped marlin out of the San Lucas Marina!

So when I saw this video of a nice striped marlin that was just cruising through this crazy busy marina (here is an aerial pic of the marina) chowing down sardines like it was an ordinary day, I knew it was going to be awesome!

In the past year or so, we have reported on quite a bit of positive news regarding lionfish.

To begin, we featured the incredible video of “The Ultimate Lionfish Killer” that plucked 200 lionfish from a sunken airplane off of Pensacola. Click here to watch that amazing lionfish video.

And then we showed the brave Grouper that sucked down a lionfish like it was an oyster! Click here to watch this video.

Well, we found this wild video that was uploaded by angler Jimmy Nelson (of Extreme Fishing Adventures) where 2 Grouper fight over a lionfish!

With all of the talk about lionfish having no natural predators in Florida, who would have ever thought we’d see grouper fighting over a lionfish.

So the great news is that apparently not only are Nassau Grouper not afraid of Lionfish, but they are willing to fight over the delicious fish.

Let’s face it, some days the redfish are biting, and some days they aren’t…

Anyone that has spent any time going after redfish has had those days where we try every lure in our tackle box, and the redfish just won’t eat.

Then again, there are days when redfish will hit practically anything you throw out there at em’…

We’ve seen a redfish hit a Lego, a pair of pliers, and a few other crazy household items.

But this is the first time we have seen the combo of a Walmart Barbie Rod and a Chicken Nugget from McDonalds!

Yep, that’s right, a McDonald’s Chicken McNugget!

In this video, Capt. Krista Tucker (follow her on Instagram here) is out fishing with Capt. Jamie Glasner (of Fin and Fly Charters) and they attempt to see if they can land a redfish using an inexpensive kid’s fishing rod and an age-old McDonald’s favorite… the chicken McNugget!

Check out what happens.

Enjoy!

Great job Krista and Jamie!

Have you ever heard of Ascension Island?

Most people don’t even know it exists…

It is a small island out in the South Atlantic Ocean (in the middle of nowhere in between South America and Africa).

Wondering what goes on at Ascension Island?

Well, it can all be summed up in this epic spearfishing video…

  • 300lb Tuna
  • 200lb Wahoo
  • 1,000lb Marlin

And definitely watch this video til the end. It just keeps getting better and better.

If it doesn’t have you urging to take a spearfishing trip with Cameron Kirkconnell, then nothing will.

Incredible job Cameron, Perrin James (the videographer), and the rest of the crew.

Holy Manatee Slap!

Just wait until you see how ticked off this manatee is at this angler.

We feel like we have seen more crazy Manatee videos over the last year than we have the prior ten years!

Are these sea cows finally fighting back and showing their tough side, or is it just that everyone has a GoPro strapped to their head or boat that is capturing every moment out on the water?

Either way, good job manatees…

Note: If you didn’t see “What Happens When Manatees Attack A Kayak” video, then click here after you get done watching the “SLAP” below.

Enjoy this short and sweet Manatee Slap! Big thanks to Nic Turner of Hawaii for sending this one in.
