Mako madness in San Diego, CA. Casting at a Mako estimated at 700+ pounds is absolutely insane. Such a cool bucket list experience with @special_45 . Greg is an awesome captain and I highly recommend. Thanks to all the donors of @casthope and @casthopesd for supporting us and helping kids from Southern California get out on the water fishing. If you want to join us next year then let us know. Every hardcore saltwater angler out there needs to experience this trip. Feeding an animal of this magnitude 50 feet from a boat is truly a moment you’ll never forget.

Top Florida Fish 🍽️🔥 Any changes? 👇
We researched restaurants, fish markets, polls, and conducted our own polls with a couple of fisherman in a very non-scientific “easy” form so as not to have them anglers feel judged.
Some quotes:
“Swordfish is the pumpkin of the ocean and tis the season and they’re just that good”
“Golden tilefish taste just like lobster.
A++”
“Bluefish is criminally underrated. Back where I’m from up North they’re a prize.”
“Hogfish is as white as snow and as sweet as cheesecake”
“Tripletail is the filet mignon of the ocean!”
“Largemouth bass are the most delicious freshwater fish. Heck, ask Napoleon Dynamite”

Next level ‘prank’! 😱🦈👇 Image seeing this in living color … or on your side scan 😂
Just in time for Halloween … The terrifying ‘shark’ is at the bottom of lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland and some investigators concluded that it was likely previously used as a movie prop for Choc au Lac! produced by the association La Jeunesse de la Côte.

The statue is an estimated 20 feet long and made of fiberglass with a devilishly menacing smile.

The statue, first discovered in 2002, has become an attraction for many tourists with the diving equipment to visit the underwater beast.

Let us know your thoughts below!

HE’S BAAAAAAAAACK!!! Jeremy Wade 👏👇
Will you be watching?!?! 👀
・・・
The fish are absolutely bricking it right now 😭⁠
⁠Via @ladbible

Wade has teased his comeback with a new podcast called ‘Fish On! With Jeremy Wade’.
⁠
The legendary angler became a household name through the hit series, which ran from 2009 to 2017 and saw him travel across the globe investigating mysterious freshwater creatures and the stories surrounding them.⁠
⁠
From giant stingrays to enormous catfish, Wade spent years tracking down some of the world’s most extraordinary fish, often venturing into remote and dangerous waters.⁠
⁠
Now, he’s teased that his adventures aren’t over, suggesting there’s still plenty left to discover beneath the surface.⁠
⁠
And judging by the internet’s reaction, fans are more than ready to see him back in action.⁠

18 FOOT? 🤯 Do you believe it? 👇

In rare deep-sea footage recorded by a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) near an offshore oil platform, observers documented a tuna estimated at nearly 18 feet in length.

For perspective, Atlantic bluefin tuna usually grow 6–8 feet long, with record individuals near 13 feet. That makes this sighting extraordinary—suggesting there may be undocumented giants in the deep.

These ROV inspections, though routine, sometimes reveal the hidden ecosystems around subsea oil rigs. Structures like these act as artificial reefs, drawing schools of fish and the predators that follow them.

Encounters like this highlight how much remains uncharted beneath the waves—over 80% of the ocean is still unexplored. Even with familiar species, we’re still discovering just how massive and mysterious they can become.

L E G E N D! 🙌😂 Would you? True story 👇

Etienne Constable of Seaside, California, complied with a city order to hide his boat by building a 6-foot fence and having his artist neighbor paint a photorealistic mural of the boat directly on it.

⚔️ This incredible shot tells the story of a broadbill swordfish that wasn’t going down without a fight — driving its bill clean through the wooden hull of a boat like a hot knife through butter. A testament to the raw power of one of the ocean’s most formidable predators, this is why big-game anglers have always respected the broadbill. Hooking one is hard enough… but when they start punching back, you know you’re in for a ride!

Additional info from Larry Litvinoff:
The name of this boat is the Oscar II. The picture was given to me by Dr. Bill Robinson back around 1975. You can still see the water dripping out of the puncture hole on the right. This picture was taken in Newport Beach, Ca. I gave this picture to John Doughty at JD’s Big Game tackle store on Balboa Island, Newport Beach, and is still hanging on display in his store.
