Raw Uncut Underwater Footage | Catching Snowy Grouper at 600ft Deep Dropping off Florida

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Ya'll have reached out to me so many times about underwater footage and me not cutting or editing it so here it is. Let me know what ya'll think and if you like it or not. I'm editing the full cut version where we catch some more fish and do the catch and cook. That will be out soon! Leave a comment below and ENJOY =) Thanks everyone

[@eastcoastoutdoors902]

What type of electric reel do you own is it the one company that the guys that worked at daiawa broke off and built a better and bigger version of the tanacom?

[@crnazareth]

Awesome footage..... tells us “in depth” story of “how catching a fish “ works

[@lancemiller9866]

Definitely more deep videos of catching fish this video was awesome. Can't wait to see more

[@eastcoastoutdoors902]

Gregor Miller someone’s in appropriate 😂😂

[@rudolphwilliams550]

Nice 👌

[@BUBBY7Z7Z7]

8:14 omg you can see his him checking out the bait when you dropped it back down to the bottom! His eyes were glowing! Heiko this is some of the most badass deep water drop footage I’ve ever seen!!!please do some more drops with the camera rolling

[@TsunauticusIV]

Muskie have eyes that glow in the dark like that. I’ve seen some giants in the water and they look super scary when your light hits them. Makes me want to escape the water as fast as possible. 😂 big ole tiger Muskie are beautiful but I don’t want their teeth in me either.

[@adamkittok]

Those are definitely my favorite types of videos. Deep drop with the camera. Thanks for bringing it back out of retirement

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

lots more of this footage to come!

[@CaptainBobby74]

Man I would love to see a video where you are chilling at the house tying rigs... like 20-30 minutes of all different rigs you use for each application and tutorials on how to tie them.

[@michaelearl7118]

Terrific camera work. Amazing footage! The fish looked quite scary but you don't realise what a monster he is until he breaks the surface. Well done Heiko.

[@ChsBrian]

That was sick! The bottom structure was so interesting to see and those green eyes before he hit was nuts. One of the cooler videos I’ve seen in a long while. The squid was almost glowing in the light, I bet a whole string of them with deep drop light would be super productive.

[@ianbonar3851]

The sounds the camera picks up are crazy cool. Nice fish Heiko!

[@pauledwards9251]

Awesome footage Heiko. Incredible how the sound of the reel motor vibrating along the line is picked up at that depth. Beautiful fish, can’t wait for the catch and cook 🤟🏻

[@vernstauss1449]

Paul Edwards what if that wasn’t the reel motor vibrating along the line , maybe it was the fish saying help me I’m hooked and he is going to kill and eat Help me. Ha ha maybe fish say that . I know it hurts like when you get hooked

[@theinspector3688]

Bro, that was awesome. I learned so much. That camera worked great and lit up a large area really well. The bottom relief was interesting. The underwater sounds were surprising at how loud and weird they sounded. The fish venting as it decompressed, that was a lot of gas trailing away. Getting to actually see something happen is important than just knowing that they're supposed to happen.

[@seriouslyseriously6666]

Great video. This video provided some much needed answers on rig and tackle reactions deep dropping. I’m now crimping everything with barrel swivels. Thanks

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Crimp away!

[@Cap513]

Heiko, that was Frickin Awesome Dude with that Fish Cam. More More More

[@roymcdavid1015]

I loved how his eyes lit up from the camera and then POW!!! Food on the hook..Loved it and please do it again..

[@TrishaObando]

Dude this was the best raw fishing footage ive ever seen good job!!!

[@walldog1457]

Hay Heiko,that really was one nice fish. It looked like a brim at first glance, until it surfaced, (WOW)FINALLY got a good sense of the depth and bottom. (Excellent)😎

[@margekaralis6127]

that was fantastic. Had me on the edge of my seat, not knowing when there was going to be a strike. Great to watch and I'm looking forward to seeing the entire video. Great job, Heiko. You got us!!!1

[@theinspector3688]

I had the same anxiety, waiting for the bite. Then the sounds of the fight down deep freaked me out, that was not what I expected at all.

[@margekaralis5206]

@@theinspector3688 it was scary awesome

[@rickshearer6359]

Wow! That is bigtime COOL! I had to watch it twice! Mesmerizing!!!🤪

[@noelabell7385]

Well done, I have never seen this before. Seeing a fish actually being hooked. Thank you for that

[@teamdilligafffishing4058]

Heiko ....more vids like this please. You were the inspiration for me to build a deep drop rod and reel setup. I taught myself how to build the rigs and have been experimenting with alternative materials for stinkers. Keep them coming. I don't even know if you bother to read these comments but I personally would like to see some technical videos on rigging for deep drop swordfish rigging.

[@maryboima7180]

Yes. ..Yes....Love under water fishing ..is GREAT Love ya videos...your cooking. .is getting better. .Keep it coming...Your settings is always nice. .Good pictures. ..

[@NeasYellek]

That was a great video as many others have said. Never seen what the baits do down there. Those glowing eyes right when he attacks was awesome too

[@PeterRanieriII]

Yea man more underwater footage! Your so lucky you have such good visibility where you fish, take advantage. I’m always learning something from underwater footage, thanks man

[@bradjones9634]

That's some good column fishing. Love the way the line sings. Nice catch and great camera.

[@iBelongOutdoors]

unreal footage

[@troypeterson6515]

Very informative Heiko. I’ve always wondered what went on down at the bottom when you deep drop. That fish cam does a great job. I was surprised by the brightness of its light. Keep them coming...I really liked this different perspective.

[@claytongreen7476]

This FL boy loves the videos can't wait to see what's next

[@100FFC]

GREAT VIDEO!! That is by far the best Deepdrop Snowy Grouper video I have ever seen. You did a great job of keeping the rig taut but in contact or near the bottom. I could tell you backhauled for a bit to get some curve out of the mainline and then dropped back down. As you drop back down at 8:00 and make contact with the bottom, you can see the ticked off green eyes of the Snowy Grouper at 8:15 and then within a few seconds it makes a solid hookup on the top hook. Good Job! Snowies are my favorite eating Grouper. You had some good eating that night. Congrats! We need more Fish Porn!

[@mikecourtney7117]

Thats great footage. More of that is needed my friend. Great way to see how different species fight or how the eat how they move in groups etc. Love what you do. Keep doing your thing.

[@albertocruz3752]

Wow. That’s just amazing !!! Great footage .

[@adammcgeorge3538]

I was impressed how gnarly the bottom was and you didn’t get stuck on it, nice fish too!

[@jrichards171]

That was really cool. I would love to see more of these.

[@doncrews2091]

This is innovative!!!! I have not seen anything like this on the Deermeateater before. You are a Pioneer Heiko.

[@mikeylikesit5131]

I'd like to see you and Kaitlin on the swordfish! Fish cam is great! Nice catch!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Oh yea!!!

[@kenhotard5875]

That was totally AWESOME!! Way to go bro!! Nice Snowy!!

[@biffbrude675]

Love the underwater footage. Congratulations on such a beautiful fish! I really enjoy watching you guys go out and bend a rod or spear. So much better than anything on TV. Best wishes for continued success from Geiger Key!

[@larrymayberry2312]

Awesome catch. can't wait for the clean and cook

[@javired1968]

The underwater footage was awesome.. Keep up the great videos. I like to see you doing some spearfishing 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻🦈

[@duffusedward1326]

Looking forward to more very deep fishing footage, it is really amazing!

[@mattmatthew2440]

Been watching your channel,had to subcribe,this video was something different and interesting,radical job filming the abyss.

[@elsaesrhhfxcamilla210]

Nice !!!! Good video !! My favorite video wit the camera on the bottom

[@Huy0035]

Underwater footage videos are amazing and alot of people want to see them. Glad you got a cam. How about bait presentation. For instance how live shrimp looks rigged freeline hooked through the head/body/tail.

[@alexo6676]

If you listen closely at 8:22 you can hear Heiko yell "Fish Ooonnnn!!!" lol

[@rickshearer6359]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rasliche]

Really incredible footage. Hope everyone tries to enjoy the exploration part of this kind of fishing and don't kill your spots. It's addicting to pull up deep monsters.

[@sirfred2004]

That fish went on quite the journey. Great footage!!!!

[@steveshortt90]

Awesome!!! I'd love to see you experiment with different rigs and capture them on footage.. eg big hooks vs little hooks.. see if the grouper shy at a big hook etc. LEGEND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK yeahhhhh BOUUYYYYYYY!!!! 😎

[@FishingwithCristina]

Awesome catch and as well awesome video and awesome footage I can't wait to see the catch and cook.

[@chipperjones4870]

Awesome video, this was better than Nat Geo

[@mdlawdawg350]

That was totally badass. Great video.

I've had grouper sandwiches in the keys before.....that's a bit big for a sandwich!!! Good catch!

Cool noises from him coming up! What was the trail of bubbles coming up with him?

[@ajrob2888]

Nice video buddy!!! Am really impressed with that underwater video camera. The quality of its footage is pretty sharp and neat! I would definitely do some more drops to get more of this awesome video! You could even try doing it at shallower depths too. Have you thought about hooking it up to one of your lines while trolling??? Now that would be pretty epic!. Loving the deep drop video tho. Keep em comin Heiko, and say howdy to Caitlyn!

[@firstcatchfishing2778]

This must have been one of the easier videos to edit ! nice work

[@westtexan2263]

I was thinking the other day, I wonder why he doesn't use those line cams anymore? I figured you lost them or something. Good video! It was a little wild to see those green eyes appear in the depths. Like some sort of unknown sea creature. Nice fish!

[@jamonmang6099]

i am going to be in Key Largo next week with my boat. Any suggestions? Atlantic side. We have both spear guns and poles. great content.

[@Magictimestage]

It sounds like that fish is making some VERY sad noises regarding his bad decision! All the bubbles he's trailing toward the surface, is that the fish lungs getting bent? Fascinating video! Well done!

[@11ccom]

maybe roe?

[@kito1san]

Fish doesn't have lungs. They have gills. Only thing goes pop is their swim bladder, but it doesn't look like it.

[@jefrichan]

Again outstanding footage! You deserve more subsribers.

Hell yeah man thats a epic snowy good on you guys

Hello. What a experience. What is the stuff like oxivem air or gas that comes out of the bottom of the fish during the whole last 40 second before reaching the surface of the ocean ?

Hi, that is great footage, really like that, you have too show more ok.. so was that the fish making that noise coming up or other items. really great..
