Hour Long Battle with a GIANT Under Oil Rig!

Fishing underneath some massive oil rigs we casted huge poppers and jigs to hook the hardest fighting fish in the ocean! I hook up to something massive and enter an hour long battle under a huge oil rig! Deep sea fishing for massive wahoo and yellowfin tuna we threw huge poppers in hopes of a massive topwater strike. We throw poppers as well as drop slow-pitch jigs to hook up to giant fish! This pursuit of a fishing pinnacle has long been on my bucket list and I'm so excited to bring you guys this amazing video! #swsportsman #saltwaterexpedition
Huge thank you to @SaltwatersportsmanMag for setting up the trip!

First time I’ve ever watched a fishing video and didn’t skip through it. Your energy and optimism are unmatched. Your story telling and describing your thought process made me feel like I was there with you. You’ve earned a sub and a like. Thanks for the entertainment bro

I really appreciate you watching! I have a video cooking that I think could be better than this one!

I’ve watched pretty much all you guys for awhile. I love how all the creators get together and just have a blast slaying fish! Keep up the good work 👍 awesome job

Awesome video. Have fished with Kurt for years. Kurt is the best captain you could find. Super friendly, amazingly hospitable and a bad ass at putting you on fish.

Agreed!

Ryan my man. Been awhile since I got a chance to sit and wtch one of your vids, then I see bearded Brad and I knew it would be a good show. Happy to see sportsman mag recognizing what you guys are doing for the sport. Without ya'll this sport is nothing. Tight lines brotha.🐟🐟🐟🐟😎

[@frankkang8304]

Man, I recently moved to Texas from Georgia and picked up fishing as a hobby and have been watching your videos for a while now. I gotta say, this is probably one of the best videos I've watched. Thought the video was too long when I first initially saw it, but I didn't even know the video came to an end. This has got to be a fishing trip of a life time. I wish I could one day do the same with my family! Great video Ryan!

[@RyanMorie]

I really appreciate the kind words! Trying to get 1% better with every video 🍻

[@JKFishingYt]

Love how you have found your niche as a content creator. Your inspiring videos are truly a work of art and are some of the best out there!

[@RyanMorie]

[@darkness03]

What a catch Ryan. Very happy to see you enjoy every minute of the battle with that big eye tuna. Made me think of Hemingway’s old man and the sea and the epic battle with a fish. Keep up the great content looked like an epic trip from start to finish.

[@RyanMorie]

Such an awesome experience that I feel so lucky to have been apart of

[@MrGabrielallon]

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

Ryan, this is an epic story. You are an excellent narrator, that this should be televised on national TV. Excellent! ☆☆☆☆☆
