For those of you that love fishing (and eating) Cobia, this video is going to be bittersweet.

Why?

Because although this is certainly the largest school of Cobia the world has ever seen, there are no fishing poles allowed in the area where they live.

Why is life so cruel?

What is going on here is a company called Open Blue, founded by Brian O’Hanlon, set out to Panama to create the world’s largest open-ocean fish farm.

And boy did they ever!

Just wait until you see all of the Cobia in this video.

Why Cobia you ask?

According to their website, a single 7-oz serving of their open water Cobia has the same Omega 3 as 67 7-oz servings of rib-eye steak.

Pretty cool.

And if you haven’t eaten Cobia before, you are missing out. One of my favorite fish to eat.

Keep up the great work Open Blue! We love cobia here at Salt Strong, and we will be happy to taste test it whenever you need help…

Enjoy

When these guys went shark fishing out of the Long Island area, the last thing they thought they would catch that day is a buck!

But as they were heading out to their fishing hole in hopes of some shark bites, they saw something floating in the distance.

As they approached it, they realized that the deer was scared and completely lost.

They gently wrapped a rope around the deer’s antlers and were able to tow it safely back to land and keep it warm until it was able to get up and walk on its own.

That deer was lucky he didn’t end up as a shark meal! But then again, I bet a few sharks probably saw him from up above and kept on swimming because they had never seen anything like that before.

Have you ever seen anything crazy like this while out in the ocean?

One custom 36 Yellowfin center console…

Two anglers…

Three Mercury 350HP engines…

LOADS of fish!

I heard about this two-man offshore team called “Team Ripper” last year when someone had forwarded me one of their videos showing these guys (Darren Impson and Matt Taylor) competing against teams of 5 on much larger boats.

Well, apparently now they landed a TV show that will be on WFN (World Fishing Network) called, “Offshore Renegades”.

The trailer below looks pretty awesome.

What do you think? Would you watch the “Offshore Renegades” fishing TV show? Let us know in the comments.

Great job Vantage Point Media House on the filming.

Enjoy.

I was scanning for new videos over the weekend and a video about Billfish Research Teaser came up in my feed.

The cool news was that it wasn’t talking about a teaser for bringing the billfish close to the boat, it was a video teaser. And here I though research was always boring…

In this video, saltwater fly angler and president of the Billfish Research Project, Jamie Walker, is explaining (and showing) what they are doing with billfish.

Haven’t heard of the Billfish Research Project before?

Here is their mission. You can check out more here on their website after you watch the video below.

The mission of The Billfish Research Project is to pursue collaborative efforts between the science and sportfishing communities to enhance the billfish research knowledge base. The results of these efforts will be communicated to fisheries management policy makers, the scientific community and to the worldwide sportfishing community.

Great job Luke Pearson and Lawson Barnes!

Enjoy.

What’s SUP!

Well, I’ll tell you what’s up.

Our friends over at AFTCO just released their latest “Surface Tension” video, and this one is using a skinny water SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board) to catch blue water fish.

Note: If you never saw, “BOOM! Now This Is How You Make A Redfish Video”, then click here now to see it.

In particular, AFTCO Pro Troy Faletra of Throw Raft heads out from the beach on a BOTE board to catch mahi and sailfish from his SUP.

Pretty cool stuff. Well filmed video gents.

Enjoy.

When Capt. Nat and his client Ron went offshore from Gloucester, Massachusettes, they had a good feeling that they would land a few tuna that day.

But nothing could have prepared them for the beast of a bluefin tuna they caught on their last live bait of the day!

And the boat of onlookers that took the video were WAY OFF in their estimation of this tuna’s weight…

Want to know how much this tuna weighed when Capt. Nat got him back to the marina?

712 pounds!

Yep, this tuna broke the 700lb mark and it broke the 100in mark (it was 101 inches long). Another impressive feat was that big bluefin was landed using a 90lb fluorocarbon leader!

As you will see, they even had to borrow another deckhand from another boat to balance out the boat and help lift this beast in. Glad that it didn’t flip you guys over!

Well done gents!

Salt Strong catch for sure!

Do you know which fish is the fastest fish in the sea?

And have you heard of Roberta Mancino before?

Well, you are about to see the two collide (almost literally)…

Because the fastest fish in the ocean is the sailfish, and one of the bravest gals in the ocean is Roberta Mancino, and she is on a mission to go swimming with sailfish.

Roberta Mancino is known as the attractive daredevil skydiver, but apparently she also has no fear underwater adventure either.

In this amazing underwater footage from Mexico, Roberta swims with huge manta rays, gets some unbelievable footage with a whale shark, then finally gets her chance to dive with, dance with, and dodge the fastest fish in the world… the sailfish.

So cool!

These amazing sailfish reach speeds up to 110km per hour, and you can see in this video just how quick they move and trap bait with their sword-like bill.

Well done Roberta Mancino!

Another awesome stunt!

And great job to the fastest fish in the ocean for showing up in perfect form at the last second.

Enjoy.

When PENN Fishing wants to show off a new fishing reel to journalists, they don’t just call a press meeting and do a quick presentation…

Instead, they take some of the world’s top fishing and outdoor journalists to Crocodile Bay in Costa Rica to test the new PENN Clash reels out for themselves.

And from the looks of this amazing fishing footage, PENN didn’t spare any expense in making sure these journalists had the time of their lives with lots of screaming PENN Clash Reels!

I can only imagine this new line of reels from PENN is going to get some high grades in the magazines and editorials…

Great job guys.

Video footage by Hunter Shryock at 496Films.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Kids, adults, and anglers of all sizes and ages… do NOT try this at home. It could end up costing you your fishing rod, your boat, or even your life…

In what could be the most dangerous and riskiest fishing stunt ever captured on film, Captain Brant (from Angler Up With Capt. Brant) and his sidekick fishing buddy not only take bananas out fishing, but they use them for bait.

Yep, bananas for bait… and I know what you are thinking right now…

Has the world gone completely mad?

Or have these anglers just gone “Bananas”? (what a zinger!)

Now before you watch the video, it’s important to note that when the monster snapper are literally next to your boat begging to get caught (most likely from a nice round of chum), it probably isn’t that tough to catch them on anything.

However, we must give credit to Capt. Brant for having the courage to take bananas out in the first place.

He is very fortunate that the fishing gods were kind to him that day and didn’t sink his boat, or explode his engine, or send a pod of porpoises to scare every fish in the vicinity away…

It is also important to note that there was no footage of them making it back safely with no boat or mechanical issues… just saying… haha

Here at Salt Strong, we highly recommend that no one take physical bananas out on the boat while fishing. In fact, we went as far as to create a shirt to let all of the fish know your boat is “Banana Free”.

Enjoy.
