Bass Fishermen vs Goliath Groupers - ft. 1Rod1ReelFishing & LunkersTV - 4K

What's going on guys? Today I'm here with LunkersTV and One Rod One Reel Fishing. Mike got his butt whooped yesterday by either a big Muddin' Snapper or a little Amberjack, but today he's going to tackle the biggest of them all, the Goliath Grouper. Mike said he was scared yesterday to catch a big shark. Mike, are you scared today? Dude, you know, I'm pretty nervous, but I ate my Wheaties, got plenty of sleep. Ready to go for it. Ready? Rob, you ready to catch your first Goliath Grouper? All right, let's do it. All right, so we got out to our spot over here. We found some sardines and there's a lot of Blue Runners. We're going to try to catch some Jacks, some Bonita, whatever we can for fresh Goliath Grouper bait. You see that, Mike? Where they at? There we go. Fish on. First fish, bro. Nice. Dude, we got this thing. Nice, bro. Keep that one. I don't know what this is. Blue Runner, bro. Oh, you're about to get smoked right there. Oh, you're getting smoked right now. That's a Bonita. That's a Bonita? Let him run. Let him run, dude. Strong fish, aren't they? Yeah. Beautiful fish. That's awesome, dude. That's good bait. God, that is awesome. Come on, Mike. Get that remora off there, bro. Come on, man. Get it off. Slide him off. Get that hook up. Hold it for the camera. Look at that. All right. What did I put him? Live bait or dead bait? No, no. Put him in with the Bonitas. He's going to come after me. On the water point. Uh-oh. There we go. Fish on. Bonita on. Fish on. There we go. That's a Bonita. Nice, bro. Nice. Look at the size of that Cuda. God, look how beautiful they are. Look at all the sparkles on this thing. All right, guys. So there's a Cuda hanging around the boat right now. And he's hungry. He didn't go after the Bonita, but we're going to get him right now with a sardine. Mike, on your bass rod, cut that off. Put a little hook. Grab that little red box. Get a little hook and get a little piece of sardine and throw it up there and catch one of those Speedos, right? All right. Here we go. Trading fish for that Barracuda. Dude, look at this thing. This thing's so crazy. Oh! No, you got it. Don't do it. Mike, Mike, Mike. Sure, sure, sure. Dude, you caught that. No, no, no. Dude. He dropped it, man. Here we go. Oh, got him. Got him. That's a job. Holy kingfish. Dude. New species. Got another new species. Kingfish. Watch for the teeth. That is so awesome. Dude, I got a kingfish. There you go. Job's hooked up to Bonita. Oh, that is so sick. Oh, it's so pretty. I love these Bonitas. Oh! Dude, he's breaking off. There's no way that's staying on. Look at this reel. He's in the structure. Oh, oh. That was awesome. What? All right, guys. On that note, I think it's time to catch some Goliath groupers. And Mike, you're up. I'm sweating already. You nervous? Give it a shot. Was that a big fish? Dude, we caught big fish, and big fish are eating those big fish. Yeah. All right, Mike. It's time for you to go. Oh, my gosh. Look at that. All right. That's the bait we're using. Look at that. All right, Mike. I'm going to tie you off, bro. I'm sorry. I don't want to lose you. Your fans love you way too much. You're too popular. So we've got to make sure you're safe. Hey, I don't blame you. After my fish fighting abilities yesterday. Yeah. I don't know, man. I'm not the strongest guy in this boat. I'm going to be struggling. Oh, my gosh. Dude. Come on, Mike. Come on. Come on, Mike. Come on. You've got to reel. Move it. Ow, my neck. You've got to use rod to snap in half. This rod is going to snap in half. It's not going to snap, bro. It is. Ow, I'm scared. Are you scared, Mike? Come on, bro. Reel. You got him, bro? Don't lose him. Come on, Mike. Reel. This is what you wanted, bro. Come on, dude. Come on. Reel. I see him. Come on. Oh, my gosh. Dude. Dude, this is... Hey, look. Oh, my gosh, guys. He's got one of my old rigs in him, bro. I can't believe. Wait a minute. No, no, no. That's not mine. That's a Guggen rig, bro. That's a Guggen rig? Yeah. Guys, check this out. The rig that's in there, right? This rig right here? Oh, my gosh. This guy sucks at crimping. Look at this thing, dude. Look at that. Oh, dude. You got a hook out of him. Look at that crimp job. That is a straight up Guggen right there. Look at that. Garbage. Right here. I'm going to grab his tail. Watch his tail. His tail can hit you real hard, okay? He sees you right now. I'm not getting bit by sharks, am I? No, you're not. You're fine. Let go of the boat. Let go of the boat and grab the fish, bro. Let go of the boat. All right. We're going to release him. Get your hooks out. Biggest fish of your life. How does that feel? I feel exhausted. Are you humble now? Dude. Can you crush those fish? If you weren't here, I'd be down at the bottom of the ocean, dead. Are you glad we tied a rope to you and we spotted you in two ways? Yes. With a hook. I would not be able to fight that on my own, man. Rob, guess what? My turn. Your turn. You ready? I'm ready. I'm always ready. You fired up? Yes. All right, man. Let's do it. All right, Rob. Last time we were out, you saw me catch a little goliath. Little goliath. It's your turn to catch a big one, bro. I want to catch one. I've never caught one. You've never caught one, bro? Well, this is going to go down. I want you to grab that rod right now. Here we go. We're on. I got you, Rob. Dude, he's lifting me off the boat. I got him. You got him, bro? I got him. That's a big one. I'm going to get some rubber. Look at that. Give me your felt power like that before, Rob. Lifting you up in midair, right? Yeah. Oh, God. Oh, dude. I got you. He's got one. How big is this one? He's got another leader in him, bro. It's from someone else. He's got another leader. Yeah. I'm going in with him. I got him. I'm going in. Don't hold on the boat. Just grab him, bro, and use him as your weight. Yep. Let go of the boat. There we go. All right, Rob, I'm going to release him. Ready? He straightened the hook out, dude. You guys, check that out. He straightened the hook out. Here goes the release. Come on, here we go. Go. You did good, man. You know what? I tell people there is no way to describe that power on the rod. It's impossible. You've got to feel it for yourself. Oh my remora is going down. Oh yeah. Josh, you scared man? I'm always nervous when I drop the bait down, but I've caught a lot of these fish, I'm pretty confident. I just need you to watch my back just in case anything happens. Alright, going down. Man versus fish. You make it look easy, and this is not easy. A lot of trouble. Leader. I've got the leader. I'm going in guys. I'm going in. Look at that fish guys. Look at that fish. That was sweet. I'd say about 200 pounds. Man, those fish are so strong guys. Whether you're fighting in a harness or not in a harness, they'll wear you out. Alright so we've all caught one on the rod and reel. It's time now to drop down a hand line. Mike, the most important thing is to make sure you do not step on this rope. You do not want to get tangled up in this rope. If you do, you will die. Got it. Alright, Mike. Pick one in the water. Alright. One glove. One hand line fishing. Let's go. There we go. Mike, you're on. You're on. We're on. Oh, we got this guy. Get going. Oh, jeez. This is a big fish. This is the biggest fish I've ever caught. This is a big one, bro. This is a giant. Keep going. You haven't seen it yet, Mike. Dude, how big is this fish? Oh my gosh. That's probably like 350, 400. Look at the size of that fish, guys. Mike, I want you to do the same shot. We're going to get a photo of you doing this, right? Look at that, guys. That's a big Goliath. Mike, that was sweet, dude. That's awesome, man. That's the biggest fish you've ever caught, right? Biggest fish ever caught. Thank gosh you were here. Goodness, you were here to help me. Rob, you already have the gloves on. You're ready to go, right? He's ready. He's got the shakes. Don't step on the rope and make sure you keep the line tight. There's no barb on this hook. All right. Let's do it. Yep. He just woke up. All right. He was running pretty good right there. He might have grown 100 pounds right now. Oh, here he is. Here he is. He's got some pretty colors. Oh, yeah. That's like the size you caught 20 bucks. All right. Look at that. I brought one of those big venitas, bro. Give me a popsicle. Still frozen. Popsicle. Fish popsicle. They love fish popsicles. Beautiful. He's got it. Dropped it. Oh. I think this one's got it, guys. Dude. Did you get it? No. He just did it like a hammer, dude. Did you get one? Oh, my gosh. Bump it. He bumped it so hard. Pull tight. That's a big one, bro. That's 400 pounds. Yeah. Look at the size of that goliath, guys. That's a monster. That's a giant. Oh, man. Here we go. Hook's out. Here we go. And... Rob, thanks for the help, dude. Yeah. Appreciate it. That was awesome. When you guys hand line these groupers, especially when you use this thin diameter rope, it's always good to have a spotter. You don't want the fish going in the wreck because you lose all your hardware and you don't want that fish with that hook in his mouth. So it's important to have a spotter. He said that was like 400 pounds. Yeah. That was like 400 pounds. It's like a school bus. It's huge. It's a big fish. Dude, the crazy thing is they get double that. Tell us about your experience. What was it like catching these huge fish? I love coming out here and catching these things. I can't do this in Texas. That's why I come here. I'm glad you came, dude. Seriously. Oh, there's a dolphin right there. Oh, my gosh. Guys, there's so much life around here. Mike, are you humbled? Are you officially humbled? Oh, yeah, man. Being out here on the ocean, these monster fish, there is nothing like it. Dude, I'm so glad you came, bro. Thanks for coming. Thank you, man.
