In most cases, we can feel protected from danger when fishing in a boat. However, situations sometimes arise when that can quickly change.
Here’s a wild snippet of footage showing a barracuda jumping into a boat directly towards the angler. This was shot while “The Outdoors Show” was filming a segment of their show.
Props to the camera guy for capturing it all while also keeping the fish at bay with his foot… that deserves a SSHF (Salt Strong High Five)!
I have seen a lot of snook honey holes along with a bunch of amazing snook lights in my day, and I am pretty certain that this is the most snook I have ever seen in one place… And certainly the most snook on video.
Notice in the video below that this snook school keeps on going (even outside of the lighted area) as he pans around with his camera phone. And the snook are on a few different depth levels as well.
Talk about the Ultimate Snook School!
Sadly, I don’t think the Snook are as abundant in Florida (like they used to be in this video) since the big freeze a few years back. However, it is certainly getting better every year.
And if someone does have any footage of snook schools that are bigger than this, then please forward it over as I would love to see it.
My only problem with this video is “Why Isn’t Anyone Fishing!!!”
This snook frenzy footage was captured by Tom Gidus a few years ago at the Square Grouper, Castaways Marina, which is in Jupiter, FL (near the sighting of the most recent great white shark encounter – see that video here).
Enjoy this amazing snook footage, and please forward it on to someone you know that loves Snook. Thank you.
And here I thought yesterday’s news about the Mega Shark fossils found in Texas were exciting, and this video below comes along and spoils the excitement…
Yes, this “sailfish” really is a boat.
And yes, it really jumps in the air like the picture shows.
And yes, this footage was captured while shocking boaters in and around the Miami area.
And yes, I really want to drive one.
Here is the scoop:
A company called “Seabreacher” (visit their site here) makes these “Ultimate Fish Driving Machines“, and not only do they build these custom “fishing boats” in a sailfish model, they also have a shark boat, a dolphin boat, and a killer whale boat.
Check out the video below of their new “sailfish” jet boat that is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
I wish I could have seen the faces of the boaters in Miami as this “sailfish” cruised by.
P.S. – Enjoy and please like and share if you thought these supercharged “Sailfish Boats” were as awesome as we did!
If you like fly fishing for inshore fish (like redfish), then you are going to love this video.
And this video certainly gives new meaning to “fishing the grass flats…”
These guys (Mosquito Lagoon fly fishing guides Capt. Billy Rotne of Tailhunter Charters and Capt. Willy Le of Native Fly Charters) head out during a flood tide in the backcountry of St. Augustine, Florida for some amazing fly fishing footage on the fly.
Not sure about you, but this video has me wanting to hit the water right now in search of some redfish.
Well done gents.
And if you think your friends would find this video amazing, please share it with them – I’d really appreciate it. Fish On!
My first memory of spearfishing was down in the Bahamas where my dad taught my brother and I (I was 14 and Luke was 12) how to spearfish with a Hawaiian Sling.
To say that we had a blast spearing our dinner would be a huge understatement. Not to mention the spearfishing stories we had to tell our friends when we got back to school were pretty unbeatable…
So when I came across this video of a some guys using the Guerrilla Sling down in the Keys (Elliot Key and North Largo, as well as Fort Lauderdale footage in here as well), it brought back some great memories.
Also, if you want to know more about these “Guerrilla Slings”, the brand that “Spear Big” is using in this video is made by HeadHunter Spearfishing. Here is quick pic of the sling.
Enjoy the video!

New month, new Great White Shark sighting…
Last month, the news feeds went crazy over the Great White Shark that approached a diver in the Gulf of Mexico near Apalachicola, FL (watch that video here).
Well, this month it appears as though the Great Whites want to get some exposure on the East Coast of Florida… in particular, Jupiter, Florida.
Here’s the scoop on this Great White encounter:
40-year veteran diver Jonathan Dickenson of Florida went out spear fishing with his wife Bobbi around 8 a.m. on Friday, June 5, 2015 near Jupiter, FL. Shortly after getting to their diving spot, he spotted the approximately 16-foot, 2,000-pound shark (these numbers according to Jonathan’s interview with the local news) while swimming near the Deep Ledges.
Said Jonathan about the encounter, “To see a great white is just amazing, they’re just so majestic. It was awesome.”
Apparently the shark hung around for about 2 minutes before swimming off.
Here is Jonathan’s comment on his YouTube channel from yesterday’s encounter:
“What an amazing encounter off Jupiter today with a Great White Shark. She was 15 to 16 feet long and absolutely beautiful. So glad Bobbi and I could see her together!”

Blair Wiggins puts on another “CLINIC” as he shows us how to catch bull redfish in this short fishing clip…
Because in this video, Captain Blair Wiggins of Addictive Fishing heads out in Mosquito Lagoon, FL with Captain Troy Perez in search of some big bull Redfish…
And Captain Blair Wiggins does not disappoint, as he lands two nice redfish in this short clip.
Makes me wish I was out on the flats catching redfish right now!
How about you?
The same angler that caught two slot Snook on a kid’s Spiderman rod is back at it again! (If you didn’t see the Viral “Spiderman Snook” video, then click here next to watch it as it is a must see).
Except this time he is putting on a show on one of the most famous beaches in the world… Miami’s South Beach… with tourists and “paparazzi” in tow…
According to the angler in the video:
“I decided to land this tarpon I hooked from a kayak in the surf, so I could give the beach going googans a taste of South Beach fishing. It’s hard to catch lunkers in people’s faces when no one in Miami fishes for tarpon. It also gave me the opportunity to get good measurements to help me re-calibrate my eye.
The fish was hooked on a live mullet. What I thought was only a 60 lb tarpon is in the 80’s according to online research”
Enjoy this one of a kind South Beach Tarpon landing.
P.S. – Share with someone that loves Miami or Tarpon fishing. POW!
Ever since we had the pleasure of interviewing Darcizzle (from Darcizzle Offshore – you can watch the interview here), we have kept a close eye on the big things she is doing out in the fishing world.
In particular, her burning desire to open up new doors for women in fishing, to get more young girls out on the water, and to make sure that all of the women know that fishing isn’t just a “Man’s Sport”.
Well after you see Darcizzle captain a boat, help a mate land a nice shark, and even land a beautiful sailfish herself in the video below, we think that you will become a fan of Darcizzle as well.
If you still need more proof, here is another great video we featured from Darcizzle called “The Darcizzle Snook-a-Thon” (watch it here).
Enjoy!
