In this episode of BlacktipH, we travel to Tropic Star Lodge in Panama, where I got to swim with a 30ft Whale Shark on the first day of our expedition. Our crew traveled to the lodge with Guy Harvey and researchers to conduct important scientific documentation of the local fisheries. Tropic Star is in a very remote location in the Jungles of Panama. We had to take a plane, a bus ride, and finally a boat ride to reach the lodge. Once we got to Tropic Star Lodge, we rested and prepared for the following day. On the next day, Guy Harvey, Martin (Guy's friend), and our crew headed offshore to search for black marlin. After filling our tuna tubes, we started trolling for marlin. It didn't take long to get our first bite, and it was a big sailfish! Later in the day, Guy spotted a whale shark swimming on the surface. I got the opportunity to jump in the water and swim with the massive 30ft animal! This shark was so massive, it literary felt like I was swimming with a dinosaur! Time slowed down when I was in the water with this giant shark! We finished the day off tagging and releasing several dorado (mahi-mahi or dolphinfish). Later that day, Guy and I had fed the fish at the dock and helped two anglers take photos of their massive yellowfin tuna!

Love your videos my friend keep working it really makes me happy because I love fishing

Guy Harvey is the man! I have a bunch of his prints and shirts!
One of the most amazing sights you've ever privileged me with, thanks for that Josh, the feeling of being in the water with that massive fish just swimming under you...unreal.
Have a 100 Guy Harvey shirts. Never knew to much about him. Now I totally respect the man. Josh knocked it out of the park with this video. Swimming with Whale sharks…..WOW!!! Thank you so much for all of this.
thanks for doing these episodes josh!! appreciate. I purchased a hat from you guys 👍
Fishing with a living legend!! I have a snook print of his and i absolutely love his work. He’s a great artist, stylist and obviously fishermen
Its amazing watching this vid as a Panamanian, and I live in panama. Super cool video keep it up
This place is like Jurassic park bro ❤️😂
i just love your videos they are all trips that seem impossible for me but watching them is like im experiencing it. BTW your brave for swimming with that whale shark!
Love this video! The biological side of things is very interesting. Learning to conservate fishing is even more important thant learning how to catch them
The only guy that Josh did NOT immediately hand a shirt and hat and say “put this on”.
Legendary video with Guy Harvey! Josh you’re livin the dream!!!
Yet another awesome vid! Keep it up!!
Guy is a sport, age is no problem with him. He jumps rite in and swims with the whale shark! WOW
Love the videos man, such awesome content!!!
looking forward to the day 2 video , cant wait to see it !! hope you catch some monsters
The Whale shark are my favorite species of shark
This dude taught so much. I'm sure you've said these things before Josh but not every time I've seen it. So I know I'm dumb and just forget. But for some reason I don't ever recall that stomach thing that happens. I assumed that killed them. That good to know
That was awesome josh! Loved it!
Great video Josh. Keep working hard. 👍
That is amazing, excellent content thank you black tip H
My word! I adored Guy’s art and wore the shirts in the 90’s! Still do. Josh you deserve to fish with him bruh.
What a captivating creature those whale sharks are. They must be protected at all costs. You're so fortunate to have swum with one. I hope to one day share that same experience. I'm so envious right now. Thanks for the incredible footage, Josh.
Going fishing in the sea is a great experience. I love fishing trips like that 😉
Man that is amazing!! That is the number one thing on my bucket list.
We follow you fondly from Turkey.
Respect. I have grown up going to the Keys so it's pretty cool to see Guy Harvey on a show now.
Guy Harvey is such a cool person , man i just pray i can do the stuff he does at his age , hes truly an inspiration and a legend , and hes got balls of steel going into the water like he does with absolutely no fear , just wow is all i can watching him
Josh you live the life dreams are made of man , best fishing and you play video games how could anyone not support !! You are a legend my friend maybe before i die ill get to go fishing with you someday , deff on my bucket list 100 %
The "doctor" trying to tell Josh how to fish. Ha! Josh was cool and just let him talk.
Josh out here with another banger
I got to see a whale shark back in '89 while I was on my honeymoon and we went fishing on a party boat out of islamorada. It was a little bit shorter than the boat we were on. The captain pulled up next to it and my god, what a sight

Fantastic, just fantastic.
Such an amazing experience. Swam with whale sharks off the coast of Cancun, during the plankton bloom. 3hrs, and over 50 whale sharks. Such amazing animals.
Now Cancun at the plankton bloom is on my bucket list ☺️
10:31 no fish of yours can beat that fish Whale shark supremacy in the Gulf of Mexico remains absolute
Nice Josh I wish I could have The chance to do that two
Wow. If you go to Key West you have to stop by the Custom House and see Guy's sketch's of The Old Man and the Sea almost as cool as swimming with whale sgarks
Thanks for putting in so much work and effort into your vids Josh!! Btw you should do a colab with another KZhead angler with the channel land shark… keep up the good work!
I love that the thumbnail and title are about a 10 minute swim with a shark, but he spent the trip with GUY FRICKIN HARVEY and didn’t make a deal of it
That’s an amazing experience. Awesome.
This would be my dream vacation

Good morning 💙

LETS GOOOO I LOVE BLACKTIPH WOOOOOOO
See the notification immediately slides to watch the excitement of the fishing video, friends
when you cut their lines, does the hook stay in the fishes mouth permanently or does it eventually fall out?
That was meant to be …two legends
Josh we are waiting to go to tropic star lodge. What should I expect fishing there?
Love the videos
That's crazy dude I love this channle so much lol
I love these videos
If that don’t go on 2022 epic moments vid your crazy
Dang if this video was out before Mrbeast had the swimming with sharks idea they could’ve collaborated
Josh!
Are you guys buying a 31 twin vee from palm city yachts?
Wtf omg How do You do That bro
There's a reason there's so many fish there. They get destroyed in florida, nobody knows how to release fish only keep them. I release anything and everything I catch unless it dies. Florida anglers need to stand up and learn catch and release for ALL of our fish to conserve the wonderful fishery that we have.
I am biggest fan Rj Village Fishing SUPPORT
Will never understood cutting them off at the boat
