Fighting a 1000+lb Monster Sawfish for Hours 

That was such a thrill to watch!! Best video I've seen today!

"This week we'll be catching a fully grown blue whale"

It blows my mind those rods are strong enough to handle a monster fish like that.

* 7 year old me trying to reel in a snag thinking its a fish *

Thumbs up if you love watching giant fish! 👍

The one guys voice sounds like he has been inhaling helium.

Zuko: that’s rough buddy

that rod is stronger than all my relationships combined.

"Most dangerous fish in the world by far to handle" *jumps in*

Think of this, there is 3,5 trillion fish in the water, and there is max 5000 sawfish and min 200 AND HE CAUGHT A ENORMOUS SAWFISH, with out exaggerating that sawfish could be the biggest in the whole WORLD and out of 3,5 trillion fish they caught just that one. NO WORDS

"I remember the fish I lost more than the fish I caught" I think any hardcore angler can agree

I would hate fishing from one of those platform boats. I would feel like I’m going to slip off.

You can exaust a fish to death. Example: fighting with a fish for hours.

him: *finds 1000 pound endangered rare fish* "cool" me: *finds 20 pound fish* "yea!"

Loosen the drag when u are about to land a big fish bro for any last minute runs. That was epic I was holding my breath the entire video...I'm still shaking

Hooked one in 2019 at the pier on St George Island. Thought I was hung up on the bottom then all of a sudden I was able to move it. Didn’t know what it was until it came to the surface. Ended up breaking my pole and eventually it snapped the line against the concrete of the pier. Something I will never forget!

Am I the only one that recognizes this dude's incredible strength when fighting these monsters

10:58 imagine swimming and then seeing that come out of the water

I know it takes forever and it's really painful to land a monster like that, but there's nothing like the feeling of something that huge pulling on the end of your line like that... Especially when it's on lighter tackle... So much fun to fight a monster fish that big...

Now everytime i lose a fish im just gonna tell myself at least it wasnt a half ton sawfish

I will never understand how you have the stamina to fight a 500lb Goliath and a 1000lb sawfish in the same day on spinning.....

This guy has definitely removed his ballz. Just look how he fights all his big fish, I couldn’t do that, maybe cause I’m 10, but I’ve fought and caught a 2.4 metre bull shark, and that fought hard af, but when I did, I used a harness.

I don't even like fishing but this is ssooooo enteraining

Who’s here during COVID

4 years ago 2 of my uncles and I went on a deep sea fishing trip off the coast of Cocoa Beach in Florida, we started off catching bait fish, and then went out for shark fishing. we caught a couple black tip's. The biggest black tip we caught on that trip was about 75 lbs, but that wasn't the craziest thing about the fishing trip. one of the lines started to go, i took over for about 15 min but it was just too much. i would've been 13 or 14 at the time, i gave the rod to my uncle and he was fighting this fish for over an hour. once we got the fish closer to the boat our captain freaked out once he saw what it was. out of nowhere we see this long saw like blade come out of the water and start swinging around and hitting the boat. it was our first time shark fishing or even sea fishing. We were all shitting bricks and just jaws to the floor when we saw this fish. Our captain told us this was the first time he or anybody he knew has seen a saw fish in the area we were at. That was hands down the greatest fishing experience of my life and will never be forgotten.

10:56 To get a glimpse

I need my relationship to be as strong as that rod

Fishing rods are a master of engineering, absolutely incredible

"Saltwater fishing is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna catch" 😂

When I was around 11, I hooked a tuna larger than I was. My father refused to help me get it to the boat. I got it right up to the boat and it got off. I've caught larger fish since, but none ever gave me the fight that one did.

There’s me all proud of myself catching 2 3lb mackerel 😥😢

10:50 If I didn't know he was fishing, I'd say he was pulling up a saw

WOW! What a beautiful Monster fish

It seems like they are making a rebound all the inlets lately have been reporting big saws and even smaller ones hope they come back like they once we're

3:40 this guy must be with stainless steel balls... he put the rod handle between them...

dude is just repeating everything he says lmfao

Man never seen someone so beaten but still fight back, you're a legend

"I'll catch a nice, humble blacktip now..." Lied to yourself dude 😉

Whos here in 2020 Ive watched this video like 10 times

Anyone else scared he was gonna slip into the water? Edit : thanks for the couple of likes guys

Omg the rod was legit below a 90 degrees angle before holy

Him: I only have a spinning rod Me: $30 Walmart pole My pole: SNAP

that cat in the white shirt.......he knew it.......OHHHHHH it's a hammerhead I know it is........OHHHHHH that definitely a ray 100% .......OHHHHHH it's a sawfish I knew it I told you.......HUMMMM sketchy fellow...yeah whatever u said I agree.......come on bro ..... REALLY ???.......TIGHT LINES

He tells you not to get close to the fish then later he jumps in the water with it

I want to know where this guy's monster Alaskan Halibut video is? Hey BlacktipH, come up to Alaska and Ill take you to the spot! Ryan w/ Alaska Small Craft Adventures

Dude your vids are the things that inspires me the fish and I love it

Don’t get down about it dude that’s the highlight of your life right there. You did something less than probably .0000001% of people could ever do in their lives hooking up to that monster sawfish. Yet how many people even ever get to see one? That’s amazing!

I wish I was friends with them so I could say “dude” as much as I know I was born to....

Amazing fight...I was really looking forward to seeing that awesome Sawfish, but we got to see enough to know that they're still out there! You're truly blessed!

What kind of Fishing rod is that? I wanna get one. I KNOW THAT REEL THOUGH! Shimano’s Stella! $1,000 Fishing Reel! 😂 WOW! But yeah, what king of Fishing Rod is that?

What an awesome fish! I've never clicked on a video so fast as I did when saw this one was about a sawfish! I can only imagine how bummed you were to lose it so close to the end of the fight. I would never have had the nerve to jump in the water knowing I had a sawfish on the other end! You are amazing, Josh - how on earth did you have the strength to fight a goliath and a sawfish all in one day!?! Thanks for sharing these videos. I look forward to Tuesdays thanks to you and your content! Heather🇨🇦

From an addict through anxiety depression and suicide tendency till fishing hook me And change my life thank to black tips h darsizzle senko skipper and deer meat for dinner

Nice try black tiph this video is only 15 minutes long there’s no way you fought that for hours.

I got anxiety when I saw him standing on the side of the boat fighting with the grouper. I was like “BRUH YOU GONNA FALL!!!”

11:36 you can literally hear the FG Knot crying

I fought something the same way for 1.5 hr line broke I had a penn 7500 snap

I caught a saw fish in key west off a 100 yard dock. It was about 12/15 foot including the nose. We were fishing for black tip sharks, and having luck. It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever caught.

My heart is bleeding about this loss 😭 great video guys and greetings from Germany✌

Kid: it’s not a shark, 100% it’s not a shark. Me: a sawfish actually is a species of shark.

What was that rod made of titanium lol

why did you point the rod!!! I was yelling at the screen like it was a football game! lol

Goes on boat to catch sharks. Only gets monster saw fish and goliath grouper😂

Oh my god. I can’t believe you lost that fish just seconds before landing it...

The guy in the bg sounds exactly like summit1g lmao

It’s insane to me that you recognize it’s an endangered species, and instead of cutting the line immediately, you continue to fight it for hours and risk potentially killing it from exhaustion and lactic acid buildup.

Wow that’s crazy! Hooking two in a lifetime! That’s awesome man

Definitely needs to make a tv show

If you're gonna go for the really big ones, ya need to trade in that lady's spinning reel for a man's reel, like a Penn International or other brand of large conventional reel. 💪

Man I love how he’s fighting the sawfish with crocs on like oml

Who else is watching in 2020?!

I've seen so many of you're videos and this the first guy you fish with I dislike

I love blacktip and his videos he never click baits just strait to point awesome fishing 🔥👌

LOL this video is exactly how I felt except I was only reeling in a 15 lb carp and it got away right at the shore😅 I mean still the biggest fish I ever hooked. This is some serious Next Level stuff

Nice Content Dude, Its Amazing and Awesome, Spot fishing Is Beautifull 🔥 Im From Indonesia

“This fish can kill you in 1 second” *jumps in the damn water with it*

Amazing👍👍👍 Really you are stronge man I would like to aske you about the kind of this rod and kind of fishing line and the whole rig how it made Thank you very much

Two questions what pound line do you use? And do you like fly fishng

***TRUE FISHING STORY - LONG READ*** I know your pain. At least you got to see what it was though. I was fishing in the Delaware River near Phillipsburg, New Jersey about 8 years ago in July. My buddies and I had baught the 6 biggest live trout for bait that the bait shop we went to had. The smallest was 8 inches and the largest was about 12 inches. We were on the hunt for big stripers but knew there was also the possibility of catching a muskie or a big flathead catfish. After about 4 hours of fishing, we had landed 2 stripers over 20 lbs, my buddy's being closer to 25lbs. It was starting to get really dark and the biggest trout had gone belly-up in the live well, so rather than fish it under a balloon like we had been doing with the others, I tied up a heavy duty bottom rig. 218lb class Big game 3-way swivel, 5 oz pyramid sinker tied to one end of the swivel with 30lb monofilament, and a 9/0 octopus circle hook tied to the other end of the swivel with a 3 foot 80lb monofilament leader. I had a Rippin Lips 8 foot heavy action catfish spinning rod with an Okuma Avenger 6500 series baitrunner spooled up with 65 lb power pro braid. Now that you know what my tackle situation was, just imagine this. Like I said, it was starting to get really dark, almost pitch black except for what our headlamps were shining on, so I wanted to try this one last thing. I cast my bait right on the edge of the channel. My plan was to have it in the water for as long as it took us to clean up our surrounding area and pack up. I set my bait runner after the bait hit bottom and I got rid of the slack in the line. Not more than 5 mins after doing so, my drag starts a slow creep. I figured something had drifted into my line, so I picked up my rod, prepared to reel it in and call it a night. I felt a slow pull, but nothing I would relate to being a fish. So I started to reel in and no sooner than I felt resistance did this animal take off and start peeling drag off of my reel. By this point we couldn't see anything unless we were shining our headlamps directly at it. Slow pulls were followed by powerful tugs and eventually attempts to strip my reel of its line. As I was fighting this fish, we heard loud splashes out in the river that I would associate with people playing in a pool. For every foot of line I gained, this fish would end up taking two. Fast forward and I've been fighting the fish for nearly an hour now, mind you we were fishing from shore. All of a sudden we hear a boat coming up the river along the bank we were fishing from. My friends shouted to stay away while flashing their lights but I guess the boat operator, who ended up being a fisherman himself, misunderstood and thought we needed help. As he came closer up river to us and the bank we were fishing from, my fish made one last lightning run out in front of and past his boat and proceed to turn and run down river. At this point, I was terrifed of my line going under the boat and getting cut by the prop, so I tried to high stick my rod in an attempt for my line to go over the boat. Unfortunately, this was when I found out the guy was a fisherman, I didn't notice his fishing rods standing straight up until my line hit them. The first pole snapped after being smacked into a rail and the much larger second pole snagged the line, pulling it down to the stern where it was ultimately cut by a sharp edge somewhere. I felt bad for two reasons. The loss of a monster fish I didn't even get to see, and for one of this man's rods being broken when he was attempting to help us. I asked him if he wanted a replacement for the rod and he laughed and said "Nah! It was an old beater anyway. You look like you could use a drink though." And I definitely needed one. He threw me a can of PBR without even asking how old I was. (I was only 18 😆) I'll never forget that fish as long as I live. Never faught anything like it before and I'm not sure I ever will again. I just wish I could have seen what it was.

This is absolutely incredible when I saw your ig post I didn't read the caption so I didn't know what you had hooked but when I saw the thumbnail and title I instantly started shaking with excitement great video man

Fishing is not battle of strong power its a tecknick. How to handle.

oh my God that's the biggest fish I never seen

It was probably 5 lb redfish

My buddy caught a sawfish off juniper beach pier

I’ve had bad experience with lighting at Henry’s lake trout fishing and all the rods started to shock uss

It is always good to fight a saw fish in crocs

Im watching this video when i was fishing and i just get a sunfish

Jesus loves you all and died for our sins.

I'm watching this in class and at like 4 minutes he moaned and everyone looked me. Dats tuff

That’s awesome 1000 lb fish on a spinning reel.... un-reel

Amazing video dude

i thought he was fishing with Summit1G by that guys voice

3:25 Thats the face of "I've made a huge mistake" 😂

Yep. Thats fishing bro. Just found your site. Think. There's been 3 saw bills thats been hooked. 2 hammer head. Coo Doos to your channel

Would you ever do a nutrition video and workout moves / recovery stretches that help sport fishing? I know it’s obvious to most but the calories you burn has got to be atrocious.

1. Rule: Like before watching 🙌😊 Nice video as always, keep it going and have a nice day
