Nothing like the adrenaline rush of fighting a nice shark while on a paddleboard!

And our friend Peter Miller (host of Bass 2 Billfish) shows you exactly how it’s done (without falling over).

You can see a couple of times the shark makes a cut back at Peter and his SUP, forcing Peter to adjust and rebalance so he doesn’t end up wet (and on top of the shark).

The water color is amazing down there in the Florida Keys, and great job of handling the shark on your SUP like a champ!

When I saw that this brand new humpback whale video on YouTube was slowly starting to take off in terms of views and shares, I had to watch it.

And for the first few seconds I sat there scratching my head saying, “Well, this is pretty boring…”

And then it happened.

Pa-POW!!!!

Perhaps the craziest up close humpback whale breach ever recorded on film. I had to watch it a couple of times.

And check out the seagulls coming in for sloppy seconds on the bait the whales were going after. Awesome!

This footage was taken by Brad Rich while in Alaska this past week.

Well done!

And we apologize in advance for any language, but this was too good not to share (and his last comment is pretty hilarious).

Angler Ricardo Garcia is attempting to do what few have ever conquered…

Landing Goliath Grouper on Inshore tackle.

Here is what he is using:

Quantum Smoke Inshore Reel
Shimano Teramar 7″ Medium Action Rod
20lb braided line
40lb fluorocarbon leader
Small blue crab on a 2/0 Owner circle hook

For those of you that have ever been Big Game fishing, you know this is far from an ideal fishing outfit to land any sort of large, tough fighting fish.

But Ricardo went for it anyways.

And oh by the way, he is only about a mile and a half from the boat ramp, making this the Ultimate Inshore Fishing for Goliath Grouper”.

I won’t ruin what happens, but let’s just say Will Ferrell was right when he said Two Dragons are better than one…

Amazing Goliath Grouper video Ricardo. For anyone that has caught grouper of any size, you know it isn’t easy getting these fish into the boat on this kind of tackle.

You can see him hammering down on the drag and still no slowing down this strong fish.

Thank you for sending it in.

Josh Jorgensen of BlacktipH is no stranger to battling some of the biggest fish in the ocean.

In fact, he is one the most watched anglers in the world when it comes to catching Monster Sharks and Goliath Grouper.

Here are just a few of our favorite BlacktipH videos that made our home page:

“The Craziest Mullet Run Footage Ever Caught On Film” (watch it here)
“Catching Jacks So Big You Want To Kiss Them” (watch it here)
“Goliath Grouper SNAPS This Guy’s Rod In Half!” (watch it here)

And in this video below, Josh learns the hard way just how bad it feels when a big rod snaps right back on your face. Ouch!

Here are the details from Josh:

“Sloan from the Instagram account “redneckvideos” hooked up to a giant goliath grouper that swam under the boat. Josh was assisting sloan by holding the fishing rod. The line popped on the boat and the rod swung up and hit Josh under the chin. After a 20 minute break and a quick patch up job by Dan (Instagram “best_hunting_fails”) we were back fishing again! Later that night Josh got 5 stitches.”

Enjoy!

This is proof that Aussies are extreme at just about every sport they partake in…

This is also some proof that this catamaran is Salt Strong.

Wait until you see what the captain of this $500,000 catamaran does to avoid having to go around a longer route.

Insanity.

I still can’t believe he pulled it off.

This video below is exactly why you don’t go feeding moray eels any type of food that looks like a finger [like sausages, wieners (aka hot dogs), etc]!

And make sure to stick around for the entire video. It kind of breaks off after a minute, and then the really good stuff begins.

Do you all recall just a couple of weeks ago when I asked everyone’s opinion regarding if we should be feeding these wild eels like they do in this “Moray Eel Attacks Lionfish” (watch it here)?

I specifically mentioned in the last couple of videos that contained divers feeding eels that eventually these blind eels are going to mistake your hand for food.

And this guy (diving Instructor Matt Butcher) learned the lesson the hard way. Ouch!!!

Make sure to stick around til the end to see how this guy got his “thumb” back… crazy!

Well this is a first for us on Salt Strong…

The first video we ever posted out of Scotland!

And a good one at that. Much better to have a heroic dolphin save be your nation’s first Salt Strong video than one like “Girls Play Pin The Catfish On Each Other But Never Expected This” (watch that one here next if you haven’t seen it yet).

In this video, a few kayakers are out in near the Isle of Barra, Scotland enjoying a nice morning paddle, when they come across a dolphin that is badly stuck (and appears to be somewhat injured) in the thick seaweed in very shallow water.

After helping this lost and stuck dolphin out of the seaweed forest, the dolphin joins up with his two pals and puts on an aerial display of appreciation for the kayakers.

Making this the ultimate dolphin rescue out of kayaks.

Well done Clearwater Paddling crew!

These guys are WAY too calm to be standing up on paddleboards chasing a great white shark around!

I think most people would have been laying down on their board and looking for the closest beach.

But thanks to Courtney Hemerick and the Current Crew team of extreme paddleboarders, we all get to experience what it would be like to be just a few feet away from a great white shark while standing up on a paddleboard.

And like I have said numerous times this week, it’s almost as if the sharks know that it is shark week!

Well done sharks!

We have seen some wild spearfishing videos in the past month, and this one is right up there at the top.

In fact, the last video we posted similar to this one was shared like crazy! It was called, “Shark Steals Diver’s Fish And Then Steals His Speargun!” (watch it here if you never saw it).

Of course, this video below was a bit unique in that the fish that was actually speared ran away with the speargun instead of a shark stealing a free meal.

For a split second, you can actually see that the Grouper is completely stunned (probably wondering if he is dead or alive), then realizes he can still move, and then he bolts for the closest Grouper hole with the spear running through his body!

For all of you wondering, the diver, Mariosko CY, confirmed that he did recover BOTH the 30lb Grouper and the Speargun. He was able to follow the grouper to a nearby rock, grab the spear shaft, and bring the grouper back up for a delicious dinner.
