[@TheJustinbingham]

Holy shit... Yeti, it's videos like these why I can never get office work done... Don't ever stop. Why not make movies? I'd pay good money to see a two-hour fishing or hunting film!

[@MTips18]

Go to the fly fishing film tour F3T or the international fly fishing film tour I4F when it stops in your town. That's where this film debuted.

[@nitrobullmarket]

Doesn't get any better that this. I'm going to buy another 10 Yeti's to add to my existing 10, just so you'll keep funding short films like this. This is awesome.

[@alexredhat3476]

Does not matter how many times I watch this, still think it is one of the best fly fishing films ever made.

[@therealfaintinggoat]

How has this not gone viral yet? It's the most beautiful piece of fishing cinematography I've ever seen.

[@skithe207]

"They're pieces of shit, really" hahahaha

[@marcosmaldonado4648]

Tom Fast favorite part of the film 😂😂😂

[@jefferywheaton40]

Literally this makes me tear up everytime I watch it lol.

[@shirtslugger94]

I stumbled across this video not long after it was posted when I was working as a fly fishing guide in the Rockies in my mid twenties. I was awestruck and inspired and it put the keys very high on my bucket list. Fast forward a few years and I caught my first tarpon on a fly rod today. I’m here for the week for my best friends bachelor party. Thanks Dave for your inspiration. This place is truly magical and I hope to come back many times.

[@LawsonLindseyFishing]

I could watch this all day. Great work guys

[@SilencedTomato]

i have actually just thought about downloading thsi and making it my screensaver. And I have nothing at all to do with fishing (...yet).

[@mawk27]

Lawson Lindsey Fishing This is your next step brother. I’ve followed you from years back, and with your non “look at me” attitude, this is where you can become one of them.

[@monkeywrenchdesignshop7856]

I've watched 2 dozen of these YETI videos in a row! Keep em coming...

[@austint.2186]

Best short to date.

[@jamietoney1005]

[@MaineMountainMedia]

I'm back 6 years later to re-watch and this comment is still true. Piece of art.

[@BelgianBeats]

That moment when you're not into fishing at all but the storytelling and cinematography just sucks you into the video. Amazing short story

[@howler_bros]

Absolutely incredible film. Mangum is the real deal. Yet again, Travis and Ben over deliver and leave us spellbound...drooling on the keyboard. The only issue is that this is seared into our brains and we aren't tarpon fishing tomorrow. Need to fix that... BRAVO

[@yeticoolers]

Thanks fellas!

[@Hondooo]

There are few people who truly experience the power of the outdoors in their life. Fishing is the epitome of solace where it's just you and nature going to battle. Nothing is quite like it. It is a religion within itself.

[@ellietmaples3577]

I think there really isn't a word to actually describe the feeling you get during the "initial strike" on a fly rod. Not to be corny or anything, but it really is an amazing feeling. Those that have used a fly rod know exactly what I'm talking about. It is an absolute high. Addicted to the chase. Beautiful video.

[@kieronkeady3505]

Catching a tarpon on the fly is now on my bucket list.

[@Peepininmywindow]

All of these have been extremely well done, but the narration and musical combination followed by the shot from 5:31 forward is magical. Seriously breathtaking, I'm still in awe.

[@mikethompson5966]

the ending is priceless, both of them. anyone who doesnt watch past the save the tarpon page is missing out. gave me chills. I feel the same for musky as he does for tarpon. respect.

[@chairmedia1046]

I feel like this short should win an award hands down

[@adamheying1812]

These videos constantly make you question what you're doing with your life. This one x1,000,000. Great f'in work.

[@FeathersFurandFins]

Screw anyone who dares give this a thumbs down. Absolutely STUNNING video work! Top 5 best fishing shorts I've seen hands down.

[@yeticoolers]

Thanks!

[@momt786]

[@danganter6477]

Always gonna be haters, Who cares. Good work Yeti!

[@tahirkalair9281]

Feathers, Fur, and Fins SS

[@mikethompson5966]

as taylor swift says, haters gonna hate. they're just mad that he can actually hook up and land monsters they only dream of.

[@urbanflyguide]

the dude spitting tabacco is far and away the best thing about this video. The fish are pretty cool too

[@BrightPink_Socks]

That soundtrack. Incredible

[@Florkowski72]

pure love and obsession.... with tarpon...no question!

[@terryhanger5419]

I am 71, a woman, and I would love for him to be a guide so I could catch a magnificent fish like that! Excellent video!

[@justinsorg2663]

After watching several Yeti Videos, I must argue that they produce the most unique and brilliant videos. Unreal.

[@ethanseafield6088]

When ur down in flamingo and you feel the first tug there's nothing like it. When the beast at the end of your line flys out of the water time just stops. Great video guys.

[@steeliedan]

Thank you very much. Although I didn't land any tarpon on the trip I just got back from, I got to see, feed, and observe them all around. At first sight I realized I'll include them in my yearly cycle when I begin guiding. Incredible fish and incredibly well produced short. Made me feel as if I did land one on my trip. Thanks again!

[@emilioreed3667]

Very few share a passion for the sport of fishing to a level that climbs far beyond his fellow anglers. Its more than an addiction its an obsession to learn and better understand every aspect of the game fish your chasing to do more then just improve but to fine tune your skills to set you apart and become the best at what you do. Somebody once told me that “time on the water” is all you need if your paying attention.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Gosh almighty. That was good

[@jharchery4117]

Sounds like a load of fun to be guided by this goof.

[@tsjbryant]

Amazing cinematography! Normally I'm not a fan of black and white imagery, because the colors associated with fishing are so vibrant and beautiful, but this was masterfully done. It's a great story too, as few of us are able or willing to devote our lives to something like this. Just awesome!

[@yohanforrest5376]

6:02 I love the slow motion of this shot and the song attached. It gives me butterflies every single time. It’s just absolutely amazing how big these fish are and it’s truly humbling. Love these yeti videos. Come back every once in awhile and grow back my passion for fishing.

[@jamesangusmcaninch]

I've fished my whole life. I'm 65. I've watched hundreds of fishing videos. This is in a class all by its self. These Yeti folks are wonderful cinematographers. This fellow is an artist of an angler. This was inspirational as hell. I loved it. It is fishing. If God needed a guide and asked me, I'd tell Him, "here ya go Lord.".. Amen.

[@RamseyFisher]

This never gets old. I get chills on the slow motion clip of leading the tarpon and the last jumping clip. So great!

[@suzystone244]

I'm currently welding a Tarpon Fish Sculpture. Scrap metal forming into one of my FAVORITE sport fish❤🤗

[@BrettCarlsen]

Dream job, work for a Texas based company making incredible content.

[@theginganinja7004]

This sums up my obsession with fishing in a nutshell. The bites on my mind 24/7

[@tarponcaster]

These Yeti videos are outstanding. Skull anchor: brilliant.

[@labeckipiotrek]

Maxence Cyrin - Where is my mind

[@mweltin1733]

This video made me care about tarpon, tarpon fishing, David, and those speaking so respectfully of him. Beautifully shot and edited. Powerful.

[@yeticoolers]

Thanks!

[@masonbaich1065]

These are my favorite fishing videos on youtube. Unreal

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Every time I watch this video it gets me excited, to see the dedication to a craft that makes peoples hearts stop . There is nothing like hooking a tarpon and the chaos that ensues even if you’re not the one with the rod in your hands . It’s a new year with two tarpon trips scheduled can’t wait to feel the excitement . Thanks again for sharing

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Wow, that is without doubt the best Fishing video I have ever seen!!!!! Loved the B/W, interviews, the slo-mo footage was incredible, just amazing all round. Congrats

[@cmerr23]

amazing videos as always. always makes me feel proud to be part of a community that can have such strong feelings for another species.

[@dennisgraham3087]

This is why I enjoy going to places like Bass Pro. And see the HUGE FISH they have in the aquariums. I'm always fascinated by just how big alot of them are. and I think to myself. someone had to catch that monster.

[@aaronconcord3327]

I have to watch any Tarpon on fly video. It's a compulsion. But to have one that has an instrumental version of the Pixies, "Where is my mind", is just another level up!! Yep, if you're a Pixie fan, listen again from 4.30 onwards.....the music and the vision melding together is sublime...... Top stuff!

[@wayne_vt]

So good. I could watch an hour of Brett talking about fishing.

[@brickit26]

Sick video, loved how you kept it real the videography is amazing, don't stop!

[@tamduong5692]

brickit26

[@nander016]

This is hands down the most beautiful piece of cinematography I've ever seen. Keep them coming YETI!

[@cmerr23]

This is one of those videos I constantly come back to. Always get me

[@markfulwood7415]

I'm 61, I caught my first Tarpon at age 5, Tampa Bay. It's just the most awesome fish that swims, in my opinion. Nice to hear someone else who gets it...

[@stevehartman369]

Unbelievable storytelling and cinematography topped by a soundtrack culminating in the piano rendition of Pixies "Where is my mind". Fishing shorts, or any shorts for that matter, really don't get any better than this, folks.

[@chadbrockmeyer5742]

These short films are down right amazing! Then you throw a right hook with a piano version of an amazing Pixies song!!!!! Well played Yeti!

[@burkeylynnadventures]

Chills. Deep chills cuz I'm goin on my first Tarpon trip in three weeks ...

[@Salt96]

Gives me chills..

[@treywilson1173]

Fantastic video. Closest thing to being on the water is watching these shorts every night.

[@masontheurer5496]

Beautiful cinematography, really captures the essence of the sport

[@markbartosch6818]

I have definitely watched this film over 20 times.. thumbs up, all of the thumbs

[@notathing649]

This is absolutely gorgeous. Gives me chills. Nice work

[@henningradasewski6172]

One of the most brilliant edited short films I have ever seen. Absolute exceptional talent.

[@RoseMarieMcLean]

What a beautiful tribute a love in someone's life. Pretty unforgettable I know I won't!!

[@MiguelLopez-oc9uc]

Love love love this series from you guys. Finally picked up my YETI 65 in sea foam green last week. I love it! I'm a winegrower by trade and will be using the hell out of it this year! Keep it up team YETI!!!!!

[@jpcoutdoors136]

I swear I watch this video at least once or twice a week and it gets me pumped everytime

[@Autoholicqld]

These Yeti Videos are first class. Thoroughly enjoy them.

[@mfinplainsight]

What a great story beautiful told and exquisitely filmed. Well done and thank you.

[@jimbeauxjimenez1850]

Yeti + Simms. Such an awesome combination!

[@Michaelfro11]

That shot from 5:31 must be the best shot I've ever seen. Unbelievable!

[@DevonLerfer]

Amazing. Sums up the passion that fishing stirs up in us. Even as a humble LRF fisherman in the UK, i totally get this!

[@jengland8288]

I love the sea, and this is ART!

[@stephens2663]

I am hooked. I haven't stopped sharing these with my friends and now they are hooked too. These are great. Keep em coming.

[@bigfishin5025]

One of the best produced fishing videos I have ever seen. Great job guys.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Stunning... STUNNING video! so well put together!! Love Tarpon so much!!

[@FishcastAngling]

One of my favorite short fishing films out there. Incredible footage/edit

[@paullawrence8438]

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better!

[@lipgripfishing3275]

I love these

[@walterfahey5340]

I live here ... Best Tarpon video ever ! Thanks 👌👍

[@Northbight]

Thanks for such a supportive video that makes it “okay” to be focused 24/7 on pursuing one’s passion. Loved the use of black and white as well as the crisp, slow motion. Such s nice contrast to the push for cinematic (blurred) motion. Exceptional work, fellas!👍🏻

[@thegreg79]

SUPERB EDITING!!!! Absolutely beautifully told story. Bravo! Bravo! BRAVO!

[@Trekspertise]

I am very, consistently impressed (and jealous) at the insane level of quality and creativity here. I DON"T EVEN LIKE FISHING and this channel is painting a mesmerising, romantic picture. You are winning the KZbin game. This channel needs millions of subs. Also, how did you do the extremely high frame rate? What device are you using?

[@OceansEast]

probably a phantom camera or similar 1000fps + cinema camera

[@EastCapeBoats]

Thank you YETI for making a BAD AZZ video and also show casing one of the best guides too...Capt. David is the real deal!

[@FoxFornax]

Breathtaking cinematography. Holy cow. O.O

[@trotion]

One of he best clips I've ever watched.

[@jefferywheaton40]

I've watched this idk how many times....now, heading out for my first tarpon trip to Florida in 10 days!!

[@MrBhugh81]

The video work, the music, the story.....perfect. Another fantastic video by Yeti. Keep them coming.

[@Rocksider2525]

Yay Yeti. Just stumbled into all these cool videos. Been binging on them while my wife's asking what I'm gonna get done today. I decided cleaning up and restringing my favorite reel while watching these videos is what I'm doing. Yeah yeah. Thx Yeti

[@jenreelwomen]

I love this! Pure simple obsession! Yay! Nicely done guys.

[@TeamWinters23]

@5:33 I purchased tickets to Florida and the trip planning process began.

[@dutyjke]

most inspiring and motivational fishing movie ive seen!! Wish it was longer!

[@sydneyschalit137]

That was magnificent. Nicely done, boys.

[@janke2806]

[@toddlepley7215]

Excellent work and a great, inspiring short. Well done.

[@bassndrum1]

Incredible.

[@virgilproductions]

Damn near made me cry.

[@wilbuzllf5057]

This is some epic filming, the story in it self is superb but the filming here is truly beautiful. All the way from the actual fishing moments, to interviews and extra shots of birds. Well done!
