BlacktipH is no stranger to making it on Salt Strong.

With one of the most watched saltwater fishing YouTube channels of all-time (with over 100,000 subscribers), BlacktipH continues to put out amazing fishing content after amazing fishing content.

In this video below, BlacktipH (aka Josh Jorgensen) goes out cobia fishing with Dr. Robert Borrego, and they have a quite a day to remember…

If it wasn’t enough to catch a couple monster cobia, but they also get some face time with some big ol’ Bull Sharks!

Not to mention, even had a run in with some Goliath Grouper.

Check this out!

What should you do when you come across a nice cobia hanging under a manta ray and you just can’t get it to hit your lure?

Pretty simple solution…

You have your buddy put on his mask and fins, grab his speargun, and then jump out of the slow moving boat to pluck off the cobia for you.

This video is also a little sliver of redemption for diver Joey Antonelli, the same guy that had tens of thousands of anglers watch him in pain as a triggerfish bit him in the groin area… (you can watch that video here)

Even though Joey wasn’t the diver that made the shot, it was his camera, and he did all of the editing.

The diver that plucked off the cobia was Nick Furrow.

Great job Joey and Nick!

Enjoy.

I’ve been holding on to this video for quite some time, just waiting for the right moment to post it…

If you recall back on June 23rd I posted a video with the title, “The Biggest School of Redfish Ever Caught on Film?” (watch it here if you never saw it).

And at the end of the video, I asked the amazing Salt Strong audience to send me any redfish footage that can beat it.

I received a couple that either beat it or were really close (sorry, but I didn’t have time to literally count all of the redfish), and I posted them shortly after the “Biggest School of Redfish” video.

Here they are:

“Wait til’ You See Why This Guy Is Screaming Holy Redfish!” (watch it here)
“How Would You Like To Run Into This School Of Redfish?” (watch it here)

And then I received this video below…

It didn’t beat the redfish count (although it was certainly close), but it stuck out because of the bad to bone music that got me all fired up. In fact, I would be willing to be that it will have you humming one of the two tunes for the rest of the day.

And they even catch a nice cobia (from what looked like off of a whale), along with a crazy school of redfish.

I honestly can’t recall if Capt. Brad Sperling of the “Brassy Hooker” sent in the video, or if it was angler Mark Galloway, but either way, awesome job gents!

Salt Strong material for sure!

P.P.S. – About halfway through they get some awesome underwater footage of the massive school of redfish.

There are people in life that fish, spear, and hunt similar to an Engineer…

Very slow, very steady, and very calculated… (I know, I went to Georgia Tech)

And then there are people that fish, spear, and hunt like a Boss…

Ferocious, wild, and taking no prisoners… like this diver!

I still have no idea how he managed to get a couple of these lobster.

I won’t ruin it for you, but in this video, our friend Mike Shipe goes to town on some big spiny lobster. He grabs them with his hands and gets a few with a lobster lasso (aka snare), and then he pulls out the spear gun…

Take note that he only had time to pull back one band on his spear gun in between shots.

Great stone shot man!

Note: This was all filmed off of Jacksonville, FL

I’ve said it a thousand times…the craziest college students in any college in America are usually members of the Spearfishing Club…

Actually I’ve never once said that…until today.

The Florida Atlantic University Spearfishing Club is crazy (in a good way of course)!

I came across this awesome video on YouTube where these college kids are spearfishing Cobia off the backs of Bull Sharks, and I just had to share it!

They don’t just get a single cobia or see just a single Bull Shark while free diving, they get tons of them!

Whatever area in South Florida they filmed all of this is simply loaded with nice Cobia and big Bull Sharks.

The fact that none of the Bull Sharks go crazy from the blood in the water surprised me, but I guess the sharks were glad that the spearfishermen weren’t aiming at them.

Well done Florida Atlantic University Spearfishing Club! Well done.

Spearing Cobia is hard enough as it is, but you guys brought it to an entire new game by spearfishing Cobia off the backs of Bull Sharks!

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, the guys from MorningTide Fishing Are Extreme.

If you haven’t seen these crazy blokes do some of the wildest land based fishing ever captured on video before, here are three of their videos that blew up on our site:

“Think The Wicked Tuna Guys Are Crazy. Then Watch This” (watch it here)
“Only A True Fisherman Could Ever Understand This Wild Video” (watch it here)
“The Biggest Mackerel Ever Caught In Skinny Jeans. Ever.” (watch it here)

In this MorningTide fishing video below, land-based angler Sam has some “bad luck fishing redemption” by landing a Cobia and a nice Spanish Mackerel up on the rocks.

Take special notice at the 4:27 mark as his fishing partner almost wipes out as an oncoming wave hits him.

Like I said, these guys are extreme.

Hope you enjoy this extreme cobia and mackerel fishing video!
