In this video Mike and I were running and gunning around Montauk on a Beautiful Fall day to try and connect with Striped Bass, Bluefish, and Albies and in route to a spot we thought would be on fire we stopped off at kinda like a spoof spot thinking "well you never know there could be fish there" And man! were there fish at this spot!

Thanks for watching, this epic blitz was a very rare occurrence, and yes Bluefish blitzes do happen but what made it even more rare was the fact this was up in the bay which usually doesn't see this type of fish, or fishing.
Get Out on the water, have fun doing it and never forget Live to Fish, Fish to Live!

[@slagletoby]

Beaming up me and my 5-yr old son into your fishing moment. Moments like that will get a kid hooked for life. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@thom7623]

I love when it's on like that, blues are beasts pound for pound one of the best fighting fish of all! Great times!

[@mikeycapp1]

What an incredible day of fishing, and not too crowded either, enough room to cast and not get tangled up. Haven't caught Blues like this since 2004. Very exciting to watch. Thank you.

[@neoibelievematrix2719]

Pound for pound one of the best fighting fish i ever fished in NJ.. though not much good eating.. but if you're looking for the sport of it one of best fish out there that fights like hell 👍

[@hybridchaser1943]

That was insane!! Never get tired of seeing blitz footage blue fish or stripers. The underwater shots were a nice addition too. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@FishAholicTV]

hybrid chaser glad to hear you liked it. Yeah it's hard not to like a blitz no matter the species. Thanks and tight lines.

[@FratBoyFishing]

Dude, out of all your vids, this is your best video by far. Some of those shots were incredible. The underwater ones blew my mind. I'm still trying to learn saltwater fishing and just seeing this makes me want to drive all the way to Montauk. Nice man, keep it up. You deserve more than 11k subs.

[@FishAholicTV]

Frat Boy Fishing thanks man yeah I was lucky to get the underwater footage but that's just how many fish were there. I must of had 30 or more blowups in front of my camera to get three decent clips of fish chasing my plug. I do love freshwater fishing but I couldn't live without saltwater fishing haha tight lines.

[@ageneralgoat5274]

@@FishAholicTV hey can you please commet on my video called my favorite fish my brother caught it’s on of my first videos but my brother is your biggest fan he says that if you noticed him he would quit fishing for good and he spend 2k+$ on fishing so please commet

Probably the best fishing video I've seen on KZbin yet (and I've seen thousands). Well done!

I've been watching many of your current vids which have great content and editing but stoked to stumble on this oldie. Would love to see you bring back this style to some of your new adventures. Very thrilling and in the moment!

[@anthonyharper8161]

Yess..No respect for mono .. I have some stories..Wooo..Needle nose pliers too always..Baby bluefish ( Snappers )..

[@jurassicsushi]

Those Bluefish are Perfect Bait for Blue Crab traps and pots because of how oily they are. Cocktail blues and snappers are some good eating when you bleed them right away. This video brings me back to my childhood days of seeing schools of bunker getting schooled up on coastlines by blues and stripers.

[@lucapiozzipescainspiaggia]

The most beautiful fishing video of ever!!!!!! Good job

[@jamesrahn8339]

Love fishing there. Blue's are like piranhas. I've always said that you can catch a blue on a two-by-four and a hook when they're feeding. Lots of fun!

[@843Fishing]

Great video! It's videos like this that inspired me to start my own channel. Well done! I caught my first chopper bluefish a few years back in the estuaries of Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Rare for here in the south. Man what a fight!!

[@hoodyhoo1004]

Couldn’t help but smile throughout this video

[@MoreThanFishing]

This is heaven!

[@hengbun3002]

In Australia we use 3x gang hooks with pilchard or strip piece of fish. The hook up rates is alot higher than a single hook.

[@YusakuJon3]

You earned my like. Here in the mid-Atlantic seaboard, they say that April/May is a good time to go shore fishing for blues and striper in some of the estuaries and bays. There's a pier in the bay I live near that just got reopened (it got smashed by Sandy back in '12), and they had photos of big blues caught from it.

[@FishAholicTV]

Carmen Bernardo in Jersey April and May can be exceptional for giant blues and big stripers.

[@TruthLacrosse]

If this video doesn't add 1000 subscribers in a few days, nothing will. Awesome video!

[@FishAholicTV]

haha thanks man. Tight Lines I hope your catchin!

[@ducatipete5404]

Cool Video !! Best Scene is when you throw that beached bunker back in and that Blue nails it - F**KIN AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ebazardlast1745]

My lord that's so amazing, I laughed a lot it was almost given to you...lol Nice

[@josephstreet3407]

Your the man!! I've fished situations like that but never had them that big. That's tackle testing busting bluefish. Loved it.

[@BillyBasic]

that was insane! I've never seen that happen there. were you near Navy Beach Restaurant? that's usually where I will launch the kayak for fluking

[@rickseifert5139]

Your Bluefish is very similar almost identical to a file here in Australia known as Taylor. Here when freshly caught, bled, filleted and fried in pan they taste great. Awesome fighting fish.

[@dishiedog]

Great vid thanks, down under we call them Tailor. Big one's greenbacks and small ones choppers. Never caught one that size though, my biggest was 9lb and I thought that was a horse! Love your work!

[@lachlanoneil8938]

They don't seem to think they are any good also 9lb is pretty big.

[@anarchistangler]

I have caught them in a few countries, but the biggest tailor I ever saw in my life are in Oman. Their seas are untouched. But they are smart, and take a bit of angling to catch.

[@kenni411]

2:20 he was shredding that thing apart ... so cool

[@Exploremorefishing]

Dude this is probably your best video so far lol amazing underwater footage , thanks for showing that perspective...I've always wondered what it looked like ...woooooo!

[@FishAholicTV]

ufounddiesel74 haha thanks man glad to hear yeah I was really lucky to get some of the footage but that's just a perspective of how many bluefish were in. It prob took 20-30 blowups right in front of me to get those perfect three on video going after the popper. Live to fish fish to live tight lines!

[@Peter-zg3em]

surely some of hte best bunker and bluefish footage ever. never seen them shake their heads like that. very intelligent behavior. that's how they cut bunker, and soft plastic jigs and and leaders, in half. sharks shake their heads like that. so do dogs. bass shake their heads to shake off plugs. blues do it to cut bunker in half. or your line. wild.

[@jamesp13152]

Nice fishing. Prob not the best time to go in the water and take a leak...

In South Africa we call them the piranha of the sea. Had one bite my finger once had to use my knife to open the jaw. Yes you are right about the net not worth it.

[@rectifyfunzz3389]

Those bait you called bunker, was quite expensive here in philippines, and not all people can afford to buy those fish everyday in a public market, we called it here in our country as "matambaka" very delicious to fry and good for soup recipe too... you are so lucky and blessed and the abundance of fishes in your country is amazing particularly on that spot you can even catch them (bunker)by bare hands so amazing. And also If that happen here, catching that giant/big bluefish, it could be a celebration to grill and make soup out of that bluefish and have feast with the family and kids,

[@maxherrlin241]

Lol east Hampton local here and I’ve never seen anything like this in my life! Looks like heaven to me

[@fishingbuddyph8786]
