i appreciate the sport, being from kenya myself and a massive deep sea fishing fan, I don't want to step on your toes boys but, I watch your videos with intent, always, and have enjoyed the majority of them when you're fishing for larger fish, but when you have scaled it down to bonito fishing and parading them around after gaffing them as if to mean it's normal to treat them as such, is wrong. Especially when you only use bonito as bait fish, not for 'eating, ' and preferably on a down rigger when and where it's kept alive(obviously depends on what you're going for, but you get a lot of your target fish at depths using a down rigger) I come from somewhere where fishing is decorated with talent, luck, culture, and passion, but most importantly respect for the sport and the fishies involved I always get excited when fishing but I hold my respect for the water and the fish I may hurt, injure, or kill, in the highest form because at the end of the day, with out them you wouldn't be able to parade a bonito around like a child on a boat anyway. Thanks guys, just seems below you and of-course the sport. I appreciate you guys in so many ways but lets not tarnish something just because we forget our respect, let alone our moral understanding of the food chain. We are at the top, don't act like you're fighting the fish to stay there.

I understand getting sharked is part of fishing as well as anyone else. However, I found this episode to be disgusting. Especially the bow fishing. Shooting a fish for all of 5 seconds of hollaring when you know theres so many sharks down there you are never gona land that fish. That fish lost its life for seconds of fun on your part. Put away the bows, get out bigger reels you can rip the fish in with and actually land them. This is why sharks show up around boats like crazy. Wildly irreasponsible taking of life here for no reason. If your not gona eat it, dont kill it. Unsubbed, last video I'll ever watch from any of you guys.

Been watching your vids for a long time on another account. I know had revenue is what helps you continue to do what you do and deliver this content for the viewers. That said, YouTube is really pissing me off with this new thing that doesn't let me fast forward past ads implanted in your video. It's really lame and poor judgement on YouTube's part for pushing this as it drives away viewers from your videos all in an attempt to screw the content creator over more and get people to purchase YouTube red. Say something to them about it.

I SHOT HIM I SHOT HIM I get that finding food is exciting, but getting off on killing something. How is this different than a serial killer getting off on choking the life out of his victims and getting thrills from it? I go fishing so I get it. I go hunting so I get it. But the part of killing something has always been a sad part of the process. Isn't getting off on killing supposed to be sick, or is it now ok to get your jollies from killing?

Stellas are the biggest ripoff in the fishing industry. Anyone worth their salt know this. Sure, You can spend over1, 000 on a Stella and then you be spending another 100 plus per year to keep them properly maintained. Penn Conflict 6000 or 8000. Shut up and go home you millenials.

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

conspiracies are just great stories
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

Love this guy. Although like most fisherman who do it for the thrill and excitement of the fight he also has the utmost respect for fish/nature.
