After seeing how hard the Bonito and some of these other species fight, I decided to take some bass tackle out to the ocean to see if it could hold up to the power of a fish swimming for it’s life. BlacktipH and I team up to see if it’s possible to land a bonito on bass tackle that’s being chased by sharks! We loose some fish to sharks but end up landing some too.

Insane
Fishing doesn't get more fun than that wow!
What lb and type are the main and leader line?
That is not a bonito it is a False albacore. Can’t believe anyone with experience would misidentify it.
Fighting style between saltwater and freshwater anglers totally different.
This is hilarious. I'm a bass guy but I live in snook and redfish country. Scared to take my freshwater gear into brackish water.
Will the exprides hold up to salt water?
Why does an NFL linebacker have air Jordan clothes
Nice throw back video
I want to use my fresh water gear for salt fish and take a trip to California. I am just worried about salt corrosion I don't want to ruin my gear for a week of fishing when I live in Colorado and odds are never will be back to the ocean.
What rod is that?
Googan bait in saint water
I don’t care what anyone says anything heavier than 20lbs isn’t bass tackle
Was just talking about this wondering what will work at the ocean thanks for showing me
How long line on the spool?
Fish are fish…fish are dumb and will eat any lure designed to catch fish.
reminds me of salmon fishing with bass lures.
12 lb line lol
Keep the bonito
yeah those reels will never be the same. That was awesome.
Blacktiph doesn’t use reels he uses wenches like tiagra 130
that was a tuna what was you calling a Bonita?
try in line spinners
This confirms my beliefs that fish are stupid and will bite whatever looks alive and is smaller than they are.
What pound test were you using on your jig rod
Yall inspired me to catch a blacktip….So I took my bass tackle out to the deep…….it was tuff but i managed to bring in a 5 footer on light tackle…..also caught a 8 foot Hammerhead on a shark rod!!
Are Bonita fish big?
