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

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

that rod is stronger than all my relationships combined.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Thumbs up if you love watching giant fish! 👍

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

Thanks for making videos for us. Love watching you guys fish

I need my relationship to be as strong as that rod

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

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

The level of your skill is tremendous mate! So much fun to watch

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...

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.

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

As always, I love your action packed fish vids!

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.

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

Zuko: that’s rough buddy

Love your videos! Always great content 👍🏽👍🏽.

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

Fishing rods are a master of engineering, absolutely incredible

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

It's still very impressive that you got that fish that close to shore with the tackle you were using

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

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

They had one of these at sea world a long time ago probably 10 years since I’ve been as kid. This thing was insane to see for a 8-9 year old kid. Now that I’m older I appreciate it more especially getting to see it in person. Any one been there recently is he still there ??

4:44 Takes his fishing rod, walking away says "what a guy" with a little condescending undertone. Too funny!

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

10:56 To get a glimpse

Awesome catch!I wish I could get one in my life🎣

Love your videos. I have tried a couple other channels but yours are the best

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!

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

one of my all time blacktipH vids.... max cracks me up!

This reminds me of a few fish I've hooked into but with the wrong gear. Hooked into a halibut while fishing for salmon. Last thing I saw was an ENORMOUS tail fin on a last second run and that was all she wrote. Another time was fishing for Chinook. I hooked into a huge one. I couldn't lift the rod up when the fish was fighting me. Ended up wrapping around the downrigger and prop and then snapping off.

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 don't even like fishing but this is ssooooo enteraining

I am quickly becoming a big fan. Any chance that you can include the exact specs for rod, reel, lie? I am a newbie so I am trying to understand how configurations, even hooks all come into play

Best video I have seen on the web all day! Amazing!

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

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

Bravo to that heroic sawfish! I am so glad to hear that it got away from its tormentors.

HI there Josh. If you have not tried an Alberto knot...try it out. It is really strong, easy to do with different thicknesses of line. You can use mono and braid and if done properly rides guides well..Great video.. Thanks from NZ.

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🇨🇦

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

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.

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

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

Its amazing how those rods hold up and don’t snap!

Love your vids blacktiph keep up the great work

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

Ahh,ah,ahhh, brings back memories, every thur. And sun. Night, 4 12 years in the Charlotte harbor FL. Just inside boca grande pass, there were sharks everytime we went out and I loved it, great video*****

Loved the drone shots

That was great! What a fight! It's awesome that you guys know what it is before you even see it. That's a pro!

✌️💚👍 I absolutely love your channel ❤️. I've been subscribed for a while now. Also, I've recommended your channel to many others I know who love fishing and who would enjoy watching. Stay at it brother, it's very entertaining 👍👍👍

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!!!”

Re watching this video so good. Get well soon josh! U got this!

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

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

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

Just subscribed. You said it like it is. You remember the fish you lost more then the ones you caught. Fish on.

I'd like to know more about the protocols you have to follow when you hook into something like this.

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

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.

Blacktiph has the best fishing videos by far

I mainly freshwater fish at my lake house and I've only been fishing for around 2 years now but theres this one fish that live right below my dock and every time I get him on he snaps the line (for reference I've been using 2 saltwater rods with 80 lbs braided line with a buddy of mine). Recently, around 1 month ago, we were fishing at night and we have both the saltwater rods in pole holders made of 1.5" diameter pvc pipe. We also have bite alarms on the lines so we know if we get a bite. We're at the other end of the dock, trying to catch bait fish and we hear the bite alarm go off on the furthest pole, so we look at each other for a second to confirm its actually going off before sprinting over. I was in front of my friend and I'm about to grab the pole (which is pointing straight down at this point) and the entire rod holder snaps in half. I stand there startled for a second and my friend asks what happened cause they were yelling for my buddy upstairs to come down. I tell him the entire holder snaps and he doesn't believe me so i show him and were just astonished. We've named the fish Houdini and our goal from now on is to catch him. (This all happened at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri for anyone wondering).

Yo that's great that's a once in a lifetime Opportunity And God-bless you I love your videos

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

The best fishing channel... Good job

The shark that all of the sudden snagged the fish was a literal jump scare.

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

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

Dang bro loved this vid it was amazing good action

Dude that was amazing was very surprised that your Ford him for that long on on spinning gear what tackle were you using?

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

His friend is so chill about everything 😂😂

Dang I was really hoping I would be able to see the whole thing. But good job on fighting that thing for so long.

If I had a sawfish on I would of fallen of the boat as soon as I caught it😂 keep up the good work josh

You're crazy man I love it 😂😂😂 I'm just curious, how long ago did you film this? You said it was summer in the video. Thanks! After watching the rest of the video... I feel that emotion man... losing a giant like that... I think we can all think of one fish that we were just so close to... but something went wrong. Damn...

Amazing video dude

I can't even imagine how you feel ☹️ My heart broke for you when that line broke 😢 I hope you get a chance at another one.

A spinner reel with limited amount of line to play with Goliath grouper and monster saw fish, he deserves all the punishment he got from the fish. Great catch. 😎

Awesome bro I've been watching since the begin of 2017

***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.

I went deep sea fishing off the coast of Oregon. Hooked into something that was so big, I couldn't crank the reel. You could feel it moving and the rod was pointing straight into the water with me on the opposite end. We worked on it for a couple of hours and it pulled the boat several miles. We weren't really getting anywhere with it. There were 3 of us that were taking turns and this thing was acting like we weren't even there. Never got to see what it was but it was spooking all of us. Still curious about what it was.

I love your videos Blacktip!

Definitely needs to make a tv show

Sawfish were common in the Halifax River in the early 1900's. My grandfather was the bridge tender on what is now the Granada Ave. Bridge in Ormond Beach. Before the causeways were built out to make building the bridges on this stretch of the Intracoastal cheaper (longer dirt causeway=shorter bridge = less $$) the river flowed freely and the bottom had healthy sea grass everywhere with hard shale bottom. He saw Sawfish everyday cruising in the shallows. What an awesome catch. I've seen three caught in my 60 years. One in the Tomoka Basin north of Ormond and two inside Ponce Inlet.

It was great to see you almost got that saw fish I'm a big fan of your channel can you please tell me what spinning reel and rod you guys were using for this fish ? Thanks

The mathematics into the resistance of this behemoth and this guy's weight defies the laws of science.THIS WAS A THRILLER.

You straightened the tip, you don’t never straighten the tip bud! Awesome fight man!

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

I’ve never even been fishing but I still like these videos lol

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
