Hooked Something Giant while Vertical Jigging and Bowfishing for Bonito

While I was fishing offshore with my fellow KZbinrs LakeForkGuy and LunkersTV, I hooked something giant while vertical jigging that couldn’t be stopped. We had to chase this fish with the boat. After fighting the giant, we setup a new drift and started fishing for bonito (false albacore). Rob wanted to go bowfishing for bonito. After several attempts, he managed to hit one. Seconds later, things got chaotic!

[@marshallgomez6974]

I love the excitement Josh has, you can tell he has a hard passion for this sport

[@BlacktipH]

+Marshall Gomez Appreciate the kind words.

[@hunterrowan1348]

Marshall Gomez I love fishing and I don't even get that pumped up, do I entirely agree.

[@billymartinez2490]

Marshall Gomez sick!!!!!

[@billymartinez2490]

Marshall Gomez im excited just with that run!

[@Fishwithblake]

Hey guys I upload bass fishing/ fly fishing videos! Check me out and let me know what you think. Thanks!

[@BlacktipH]

Thumbs up if you liked the underwater footage of the bull sharks eating the bonito! 👍

[@spiderpigspiderpig9262]

BlacktipH Do you take people out on your boat and how much does it cost?

[@toekneeee]

BlacktipH weren't you gonna do some videos with the morning tides guy?

BlacktipH effin' awesome vid!!!!

[@reaganrbj2277]

When he said “that’s why they call it fishing not catching” he sounded so depressed

[@RT42069]

Always hated that sentence. Catching is the whole point of fishing

[@kadonbarns2794]

I was going to say the same thing

[@collinc9379]

The realest statement ever

[@SaltySeaCaptain]

@@RT42069 If you caught every fish you hooked it would be boring dude, that statement makes perfect sense, plus it's a good analogy for life in general.

[@yessuhyessuh2100]

Go fishing with Jeremy wade from river monsters!! It would make a awesome video!!

[@patriot1303]

Dude you hooked the drain plug at the bottom of the ocean

[@GlitchMan1011]

When people say "why do you buy such an expensive reel (Stella SW) when my cheap Penn can catch the same thing?" Well you guys, this is why. Other reels would have broken down with such extreme heat and the drag and gears would have said "NOPE"

[@tiffanywelton5116]

Angel yes indeed!

[@BlacktipH]

100% true. I have broken many cheap spinning reels on big fish.

[@cigsfishing5491]

haha he said "cheap Penn". A Penn would not have got that hot because they are made of real metals unlike Shimanos that feel like cheap plastic.

[@GlitchMan1011]

CIGS Fishing in that case you have never felt a Stella or even a stradic. Shimano may use composite materials in some of their cheaper offerings but anything above a NASCI is usually all aluminum at the exception of their Ci4+ and Magnesium reels. The stella he is using is an engineering masterpiece however. The drag is able to dissipate heat throughout the spool, the gears are able to stay aligned under pressure and it just all works.

[@cheesefisherman4489]

CIGS Fishing just because the reel is metal doesn't mean that it won't get hot, I've fought big sturgeon on a penn battle and that thing heated up a lot.

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

Amazing how hard that fish is pulling....what's even more amazing is how hard he's pulling back on that rod. He's really digging into it and that thing is holding tough like a champ. That's the real star of the show

You can tell josh was extremely heartbroken when that fish broke off Ion lie I wanted to cry

[@thelocalfisherman133]

Don't know why everyone talks smack about you. They are probably mad cause you catch more monster fish than they ever have caught in their life. Love you!! ❤️

I just look up to the guy and the fact he catches all these big fish and how he gets hated on for being too excited like I understand how that feels cause I react the same way when I catch a big fish or lose one

[@MasterAquatics]

I dont think i can watch other fishing channels now lol. Your channel is very high quality.

That's a heart breaker 😣

[@RadReelingFishing]

This video was so much fun. I've only done a few collaborations, but can say they are a blast. Thanks the inspirational content.

[@FishinTheVille]

I would watch these videos with 5 ads in them, they're just so good that it doesn't even bother me. Pound for pound best content on KZbin.

[@consultrickseymour]

Too much friction burns the Line. That was fun lol!🇺🇸

[@vols1171]

That Shimano Stella is nice, but BlacktipH you should try the Daiwa Dogfight reel. They can stand more punishment & heat. There is a reason your buddy Dennis Verreet switched from the Stella to the Daiwa Dogfight. Fighting those big 200+ Yellow Fin Tunas burned his Stella up!

[@barfingcoyote210]

.....Rob = If you can't set the hook of the gaff . Use it as a club and BEAT the HELL out of the fish with it !!! . .

[@adrianmir7265]

Hey josh. Thank you so much. Im thanking you because i love your channel and you have taught me so many things. I live in florida as well and i rarly get to go offshore so i just go inshore. But keep it up with these good videos. Ive been here for two years

[@davidlester6673]

Its a monster! Its this BIG. oh and the line snapped. Should have called this video "Fishy tales from the deep". lol.

[@etothelij]

Yeah buddy! That was a tuna 100%. I experienced the 200 degree reel a few days ago. Coulda put a little more heat on em, got em turned. But just getting him stopped has you half exhausted alrdy. I thought it was my reel, but the energy has to go somewhere, and the heat transfers to the spool.

[@kingmatt4334]

Albie fishing is so much fun. We are about to have our run here in NC. Pretty excited about it.

[@CM_85]

That was awesome underwater footage of shooting the Bonita and getting shared. Keep up the great work

[@hoanho1105]

Your vid reminded me what happened to me in Key largo . A shark ate my pinfish and started taking drag . My saltiga 4000H was so hot that when in pour some water on it , it slashed back hot water , amazing video Josh , hope you can make one a day

Great vid and advice for fishing for Mahi mahi

[@kendoish2504]

That looked like a damn fun day! If that doesn’t get you excited to get out there and put line in the water, you are probably dead and it won’t matter. Excellent vid guys!

[@rhino5419]

Said it before and i'll say it again, Rob dosn;t go fishing, he goes to WAR!! LOL

[@RamseyFisher]

Rob becomes the first person, most likely ever to shoot a bonita with a bow. Thats a record in itself!!!

[@skiro838]

[@RyanTenenbaum]

Greg F honestly, I think it was a 150 lb yellowfin. I just sont see a hammer taking off that fast so soon.

[@RyanTenenbaum]

Greg F well you may be right, but I also take into consideration how it ate the vertical jig, and also the person fighting the fish will know how a tuna feels, but you need experience to tell correctly.

[@peaceriver1644]

Ryan Tenenbaum and a hammerhead would have most likely broke the line at that drag
