I was invited to go saltwater fishing with my buddies Jarred and Scott in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of St. Petersburg, Florida. The overall goal was to go fishing for snappers. After several hours of fishing, a giant school of blackfin tuna schooled up at our boat. The tuna fishing was off the charts with non-stop bites. While I was fighting my second tuna of the day, Chill noticed a massive dorsal fin coming towards the boat, it was a giant mako shark! I quickly got the shark rod ready and tossed our a blackfin tuna for bait. It didn't take long for that mako shark to find my tuna. After swallowing the tuna, the mako shark took off, peeling hundreds of yards of line off my reel. The shark then made an enormous jump and everybody on the boat went crazy, screaming and hollering. This was my first ever mako shark experience while fishing offshore. This is one the rarest species of sharks to catch in Florida.

This one of the most exciting videos I have ever watched on KZhead.
ChrisFoster95 i agree with that
ChrisFoster95 ungyycgh
ChrisFoster95 cool
ChrisFoster95 hi
ChrisFoster9h
You Ok? Yea just broke my finger.. Happens quite often
Iran military parade southwestern o9
You catch a 500lb Mako and I'm lucky to catch my bus for school
Lol
Lol
lol
Lol
Lol
Man you really need and deserve a tv show
I am working on it.
so cool !
He probably won't because TV productions are often very controlling, and Josh doesn't seem like the type of guy that wants a production crew telling him what to do.
I legit see this comment on every video I’ve watched.
16:18 "You don't even wanna go near him." Coyote Peterson: "Hold my beer."
You should've got more likes I understand it lol
I’m ok, I just broke my finger
lol
Liar
Tampa Offshore Fishing awesome job sucking it up and continuing to fish. Must be a serious fishing guide.
Tough dude plus the adrenaline probably helped but still I've broken a couple of em in baseball and they hurt like heck so he's definitely a trooper
I catch a megalodon
Apparently the Mako is an all time favorite among sports fishermen for the way they fight when hooked
Never really a fishing fan till I saw this channel. Holy crap this changed my mind!
Same
Same
Same
same
I went out and bought the whole nine yards..including the boat
One of the fastest sharks in the world... handled like a boss + an enormous specimen for the specie
That was legit bro!
Blacktiph and 1rod1reel are like the only fishing youtubers who are actually excited when they hook up to a nice fish
Zach Stabb Don't forget Uncut Angling
Dan Coles true but he doesn’t upload very often
Zach Stabb When he does the videos are very high quality
Dan Coles yeah probably one of the best on KZhead, better than Jon B in my opinion
Zach Stabb 1000% percent better then any of the googen squad
Thank you so much ! this is the first recording that almost reminds minds me of my only fishing adventure off the coast of Manzanillo Mexico. Mine gave me just as much and similar fight except the crew of 3 managed to rope it and drag it backwards, on the side of the boat. This was 1976 Jan. We wanted Blue Marlin or Sword Fish, but this younger 6 ft 200 lb adolescent short fin Mako was running deep and fast. We gave the carcass to the natives, and the next morning it was almost clean and all I have are a few tiny teeth. Thanks For the Memories.
This was nuts. He only told that guy to not wrap that leader around his hand at least 7 times.
You caught the more rare of the two mako species. Both longfin and shortfin live in the same areas, but longfin are more rare. And you got one!
It was a fish
Hunter Zeytoonjian it could be if it wants to be
My initial thought was longfin from the first underwater shot, but when they had it close to the boat I changed my mind, I think it was shortfin.
roman legionhare i think it was a hybrid mako, a decently-sized fin mako shark
Gets its energy from both eating animals and solar power.
“It’s not a tuna” - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Underrated comment loooooool
no its a blackfin tuna
Mako sharks are my all time favorite shark! Fish period! There immaculate. Beautiful and powerful!!! I just love them so much!
They taste good too.
HUGE ONE DUDE!!! Nothing Like seeing something that big eat in front of you!

JunoRyan Some people have white bait as a starter, she has a whale shark on toast.
BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG!!

Rhett Mashburn Wouldn't shout you out for $1million
OY BROOKSY!! BIGG DOGGAY
Yeeeeeeeeman!
hahahahhahaha Id shout anyone out for $1 million hahaha. My shout out probably only worth $5 though!
“Yeah I’m ok, he just broke my finger” LMAOOOOOOOO
i don’t understand why but listening to a real catching a fish is so satisfying
10:28 Josh's mako shark: "He's barely hooked!" 15:17 Scott grabbing a mango fish: "He's barely hooked."
Mango
@@almostallrobloxking590 The mako and mango😂
let's make blacktiph to onemillion subscribers
*Y E S*
probably going to be the best vid of all time…….awesome
Epic day even for Josh. Nice big Blackfin for the gulf and a gorgeous Mako shark. Great crew with camaraderie and teamwork. Look like a really great time was had by all. This is definitely one BlacktipH's top 3 videos ever.
This vid needs to go viral and seen by everyone asap.
yup!! can you please shout me out in an end screen??? tight lines
You shoukd still fish with logan paul! Then drop him off in the middle of the ocean and leave some chum to!

And the entire of team 10
hahaha lol. but seriously he should
Such an evil plan.....I like it.😈😈😂😂😂
Do it I dare u black tiph
Hope he gets back to us with the info from that spinner sharks tag
Name a better KZhead channel than blacktiph.... I'll wait
That was some nice underwater footage of the Mako.
BlacktipH: its a hammerhead it’s a great white it’s a MAKO! Me:OMG ITS A WHALE SHARK
It's a megalodon
Hands down the BEST fishing channel!!!!!. You guys be safe out there.
Words can't express, just ahhhh !!!! my adrenaline was pumpin so hard when that shark breached and y'all got so excited, felt like I was there !
I live in st. Pete so it's cool to see that you were here and catching nice ones
Josh, you are one of my all time favorite KZhead content creator's and this video is my new favorite! Keep em coming!
Thank you for the kind words.
Jerrad is such a g, always looking out for others in such a kind and charismatic way 🤪
I love how quick Josh was to ditch the rod with the tuna on to go after the shark!
the quality of these videos is awesome
Clip Flicks a whole ass tv series camera resolution
I'm impressed you can fish equally as well with a spinning reel set for a right hander even though you fish with it left handed normally. Awesome video as usual!
I had to learn how to fish both sides.
Already one of Josh's favorite moments of 2018
I agree 100%! Maybe I will catch an even bigger mako 👊
The whole episode felt like you were fishing on KING KONG ISLAND and you got one.. I am rejuvenated💪💪
This is one of my favorite videos you have made.
Saw him try a do it once so it stands to reason he did it again.... never wrap the line around your hand!!!
I thought I was the only one who noticed that he wrapped the line around his hand. I have no sympathy for him because that's the number one no-no when holding fishing line.
It is called wiring the fish it is common and is for getting I to the boat but it is dangerous
@@andrewbuck6269 good wiring technique on huge fish and sharks does not include wrapping the line around your hands. There was a fantastic article with pics in a saltwater sportsman magazine. It changed the way I wire big fish.... Even if my fish aren't quite that big 😅
Honestly the best hype men 😂 every time I hear the screams of excitement I FEEL the screams of excitement 😂
One of my favourite videos ever! Congrats on that beast
This might be my favorite of all your vids ;)
What a great day of fishing! Congats bro you are a master angler! I enjoyed this video.
Legen...wait for it...DARY! Congratulations that was like a full cycle twice in baseball in the same game. Epic video wish I could like it twice
Love it!! GREAT day of FIRSTS!! I'm definitely looking these guys up on my next trip to the WC of Fla. AWESOME!!!
I wish to be a Scuba Diver when I grow up. I want to see a Bull Shark! How do you guys get these camera angles?? You guys need a TV Show
I saw your Snapchat saying “bait for the mako” I was so excited for the bideo
You guys are the best releasing the sharks like that much props!! 💪💪🦈
What a day!!! Big blackfins, big Mangos and a huge Mako to top it off. I hope to get a Mako in 2018
That mako has been through some battles.
What happen with you an Shimano?
First shark of 2018? Loving it!
It's good to hear that your boy is OK. I know how crazy it can get when you're trying to land a gigantic fish.
Makos do go hard!
For a second there, I thought you were fighting a 4th gen camaro.
Been waiting for this all week
I've been waiting for this video all day worth it
12:05 looks like another shark took a chomp out of his left side
Bass fisherman are like my PB is 12 pound bass josh is like mines a 1000 pound tiger shark
Love how you cared more about the shark than your friend breaking his finger...
Awesome stuff, man! I Dig the energy in your vids!
"yeah I'm ok he just broke my finger"
Happens all the time man
2019 YT: recommends this Me: finally yt is not drunk anymore Nice vid btw
WOW AMAZING VIDEO JOSH GIANT SHARK!!! TONS OF ACTION!!! AND 100% HATS OFF TO SCOTT WHAT A BEAST!!!
Literally felt like i was there with the excitement shown about that mako. Epic video.
What are the blue rods with the cork grips?
Great show and a great shark. The leader man cheated death, good thing he knew how to leader a fish that size and was not wrapping it around his hand. If you read these comments, what was the last run of line from the main line to the hook? I'm sorta shocked you've not caught a spinner before. We get a decent amount of them in the Carolinas and you're right, they get called blackcaps all the time. Good show...I always look forward to getting the notification.
TAMPA OFFSHORE FISHING if that was you, kudos for knowing how to wrap that leader. That scenario always scares me when dealing with big and powerful fish. We started using wind-on mono leader just in case we needed to cut one in an emergency.
The whole reason that happened was because he DID NOT know how to wire a fish that size.
JAMES POPE he knew enough to not get dragged overboard, and that is what matters.....
The only reason he didn’t fall overboard was because the fish was barely hooked... If he was hooked good he would have fallen over or cut his fingers off lol
So happy he got away and taught you a valuable lesson
We caught a 400lb porbeagle shark off the maine coast. Took over an hour of battling. One of my most memorable fishing memories.
45 views and 75 likes......good one YT. Awesome shark bud, such a beast of a fish! Til next time 🤙
Love long vids
yeah me too
I saw this video when it only had 45 views. Plus, awesome video. Ur content is the best. Keep up the good work.
That is the most coolest shark fighting i have ever seen ecxept the tiger shark battle
My longest battle was against a 50lb redfish 45min on a 4000 reel geez that was one hell of a battle
mine was 2 hours 45mins on a 211 blue fin tuna with a tld 30
I've never been ocean fishing but I had a 30-40 minute fight against a 33 and a half pound salmon on Lake Ontario
Josh you should do another collab eith rob from deer meat for dinner
12:39 josh “are you ok?” Casually “yah I just broke my finger”
Best videos bro always keeping up the amazing footage
Is that Connely fishing rod?
Yeah im ok only broke a finger😂❤️
I've watched a 6ft Mako jump probably around 15' out of the water like nothing while on a line. Absolutely insane.
Can’t believe you don’t have more subs. You deserve em man.
Yo I went to st Pete Florida and went snook fishing
come to australia of you want makos
One of the best videos on youtube
Nice catch! I've never even heard of a Mako in Tampa
I didnt see the shark jump when he first got him:(
My longest fight was like 30 seconds😵😪
Kaden Slankard my was over 30 minutes
Fredrik omg I'm died
my longest fight was 3 hours... im 15 to LOL
Mine is like 10 minutes with a giant redfish
My longest fight was 25 minutes with a lemon shark and I was 11
now i know to keep watching this guy
So happy you let it go!
I caught a 14 inch bass 🤔 He caught a 500 lb shark
He wrapped the line around his hand
Yeah he did
dude is lucky he didnt lose fingers
He had the leader coiled up and didn't drop it fast enough when the shark took off. Instead of coiling it, he should have thrown the slack overboard.
As soon. As I clicked on the video I heard the AWSOME. Music I knew this was going to be a AWSOME! VIDEO
Mako off of st Pete beach!!! Would love to see u do some more west coast fishing especially in the st pete/ tampa bay area
I watched on mute. Was great 👍
Go big or go home
The video quality and editing is amazing on all if the new videos
I love seeing some local fishing
