To demonstrate the incredible power of Tarpon, and the respect and protections they warrant, Coyote and Christina conducted a bare-handed feeding! Tarpon fishery in Florida is highly regulated, with only catch and release practices. Always consult and obey the regulations.
Remember: do NOT try this at home!
Big thanks to Robbies and their incredible staff for hosting the BW crew and providing us with this unique up-close experience with tarpon! If you get the chance to visit remember to follow Coyote's advice - hold your bait fish by the tail so you can avoid a full chomp.

It’s ok since he’s not at home
I wouldn't even know where to find so many giant salt water fish in my home!

@@Roozyj roast!
I've been to Robbie's many times, and I've always said it would be a cool place for Coyote to visit. Great episode!
One of these days it’s gonna be “I’m Coyote Peterson, and I’m about to enter the cage with a wild, not trained, tiger.” Gotta love this guy. (Edit) over two-hundred likes?? Guess I never saw this comment’s potential when I was typing it lol
I just hope I never see the title "I'm Coyote Peterson and I'm about to tell you about how I lost a limb/chunk of my hand"!!!
Not crazy at all for him
It would be the end
i thought it was tiger shark for a sec
The result would likely be much better if it was a tiger shark
Their on screen chemistry is fantastic. She is a great addition to the Brave Wilderness family.

I've never seen that fish before, they are really big! Christina is cool, she seems really nice. I'm glad you're okay! Make more fish videos, I would watch them.
This guy got a big heart! i don't know where you find the courage but i really appreciate your content, it's informative!
Peterson risk his life in order for us to learn more about animals. My man is a savage.
Every time coyote posts it makes my day a win I think we can all agree about that!
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok bot
@@lolidontgetit8510 somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me
I've been to Robbies several times, and I had a similar experience. Even though I was holding the bait fish by the tail like you're supposed to, one of the tarpons lunged so far out of the water it still managed to get almost my whole forearm in its mouth. It all happened so fast I barely even realized what happened. Luckily I made it out with just a pretty big scrape down my arm, but in the moment it felt like it was going to pull my whole arm off. It's an honor though to be able to say I've been bitten by what could possibly be the same exact fish that bit Coyote.
Im in love with how there is respect for the animals even when being bit n bleeding. Thank you for this video!!
Kristina seems like such a gem and I love her dynamic with Coyote.
B.O.T. 😑🙄😣😒
6:51 The moment for those who came for that. I hope you are ok bro and don't feel pressured to to wild stuff just to attract views on KZhead.
Lets just all give this man a crown, Hes been doing this for 7+ years harming himself just for us, Such a legend
Coyote has always been my idol along with his crew. I have been watching him for a while and he has not changed one bit. If Coyote is reading this i wanna let you know that you are treasured by me and others.Thanks for educating us you are the best
He should have more subs ngl
Coyote has my respect! This dude is crazy! I'm starting to fall in love in this channel! Well done, Brave Wilderness!
“I’m Coyote Peterson, and I’m about to enter the kill zone with a great white shark”
I'm so happy to come back to this channel after years and to see you alive,well,still doing crazy things and still getting alot of veiws and you still educating people I wish you the best coyote

you are a LEGEND coyote! my son and i really admire you when we are watching your videos together every sunday!
Your in my neighborhood. If I had the chance to meet you I'd be crying. Your inspire me in so many ways with your knowledge,bravery,and interests
You absolutely make education fun for kids especially but adults alike. Thank you for your content and sacrifice lol.
I hope you have a speedy recovery from those wounds! ❤️
lol
Remember waching your vids like 2years ago. Ur content is still enjoyable
Your my favorite youtuber to listen to because I can listen to you in pain when I sleep
I remember doing a night dive off of a coast in bon aire. seeing the silvery flash of an 8 ft tarpon in the edge of your flashlight's cone of light is somewhat terrifying. they could be right there and you couldn't even see them. like monsters in the deep. they aren't agressive tho
I’d love to see more Christina!
definition of living life to the fullest 😭you got it bro imma sit back and watch 👍
Dude, Christina is amazing
This guy has been stung so much he’s body is going to adapt to it and might develop a superpower O.o
Coyotes videos are the best!😎
I’ve been watching this guy for over five years these videos never get old even if they are five year old
Good video man and keep up the good work man :) :D
I’ve fed these fish in Puerto Rico ! Awesome video, honestly I hope you do more videos with her she was not only beautiful but amazingly a natural on camera !
IKR!
Oh yeah, in Puerto Rico you can see them in La Guancha, Ponce, I've seen them many times and I've fed them a few times in my life.
This channel really reminds me of the fun days as a kid going to the zoo, it was magical and exciting. Now whenever I go to the zoo its not a place of magic but a place of sorrow where animals are trapped and abused for money. However this channel really brings back the magic.
Dude, the *vast majority* of zoos take the best care of their animals that they can. They are research centers, studying animals so we can take even *better* care of them both in captivity and in the wild. They are rescue centers, taking in sick and injured animals so they can be nursed back to health. They are learning centers where people can come to see animals they probably never would otherwise and not only learn about them but come to *care* about them as much as the amazing people who work with them every day. Nowhere else can you be only the thickness of a plexiglass window away from a massive gorilla picking it's nose like you don't even exist. Nowhere else can you walk through a midnight forest full of bats without once having to worry about bites or any of the *other* things that can be in a forest at night. Nowhere else can you not only get close enough to feed certain animals, but actually be *encouraged* to do so with treats specifically formulated for that animal's needs! Coyote Peterson is amazing, yes. Steve Irwin was *also* amazing and *he* ran a *zoo.* I've continued to visit zoos as an adult and actually *talk* to the people who work there and *pay attention* to the animals. They are *amazing* places.
I can 100% see the validity of both these comments here. My current viewpoint is that as of right now today, the zoo - and I’m talking about a modern zoological park which is steeped in animal care, research, release, education, you name it - are necessary things. I don’t think it will always be that way or should be, but today I say yes.
@@brigidtheirish Maybe in the US or whatever country you are from, however I talked only about my personal experiences. My local zoo here in Thailand is run down is going to shut down at any moment. The exhibits aren't well cleaned, there are barely any staff and the all the animals just sit there in a tiny concrete chamber for the rest of their lives. Again, this is all from personal experience and I won't speak on the behalf of the rest of the world.
@@Arun_Baliga Good lord. Yeah, that's not what most zoos are like in the US or, from what I've heard, Europe.
There’s no way last time I watched a video from yours you had 648 thousand subscribers!! Your channel has done so well!!!
Wow I can’t believe you do this btw you post the BEST videotape 😊
This guy's probably one of the few people to be disappointed when the injury isn't major.
I am so glad that we get to experience another person like Steve Irwin. This guy is definitely such an inspiration.
Wow somehow I’ve never thought to compare the two but you’re so right! He’s Steve Irwin for a new generation, and the old generation who grew up with him and have missed having someone like him around.
Tarpon hand fishing is fun and these Goliath fish are beautiful
Beautiful! Loving the chemistry here

I remember stapling my dollar up really high, and eating next to the water watching the iguanas, really fun times, I really recommend visiting there!

Christina & Coyote: Luring tarpons with fish Tarpons: Am I a joke to you?
I was there on vacation in this exact same spot and whilst feeding the tarpon, I stuck my hand too far into the water and was bitten on the wrist. It left an abrasive wound so I know exactly how this feels!😭
They are a cute couple with good chemistry. Hope to see more videos with both of them together.
I love how brave you are 😮❤
Gotta love how the Tarpon just kinda go: "Alright, Imma get my food by any means necessary."
Animals are obviously a lot more intelligent than we give them credit for, this has been proven time and time again so the possibility of that fish communicating to others is not too out of this world to be plausible.
i love your show so much, each time i'm so happy youtube tells me there's a new video from White Dummy
This channel was my favorite KZhead channel when I was younger
Coyote’s doctor probably sees him like 3 times a week lol 😂
Very cool video like always. Have you ever bitten by a big moraine? I can imagen that hurt as hell. Would be interesting to see how to treat it aswell. Like the lionfish video. And a see urchin
I’ve been to this place a few times, and feeding the Taropon is a very very intimidating task, def a rush as they just explode out of the water when you least expect it
Florida resident here, Tarpon are insanely cool and I’ve been to Robbie’s several times to hand feed them. Tarpon will fight for hours and hours and you often have to “swim them” for about 15 minutes so they get all the lactic acid out of their muscles and so they can swim off. Very, very cool fish
Anyone else notice Coyote casually flirting? 😂
Yep, she’s a pretty woman.
Christina is awesome you should have her on the channel more!
I love this because it’s educational and he’s taken a risk for us all
I adore the fact that they saved Scarface's life and now she repays them with visitors ❤❤❤
So is it just me or is anyone else thinking that these two should just get together? They have such good synergy with each other! I mean come on! This man deserves something more than animal love~ 😏
They definitely banging
Besides the fact that he's married and has kids why do a man and a woman that have a bit of chemistry always have to be together? Like, come on, there doesn't have to be some kind of romance involved between a man and woman
@@akuma2918 seriously. It’s so basic.
Coyote you should checkout the red tail catfish , arapaima, or silver arowana . They get massive and some can be bigger than you.
A tarpon is far larger than myself at a max of 280 lbs lol I'm only 110lb as a 5'10" 21 year old male, surely you don't mean they get larger than that? I mean I don't know how to swim so I don't really care either way just curious the extent to which common fish besides tuna, sharks, larger cephalopods, etc can grow
Arapaimas are massive. The largest arapaima ever caught was 10 ft long, 440 pounds. They are true dinosaur’s.
Thanks for the suggestions! We'll check 'em out :)
Christina is awesome !
a great video and a close one for coyote
Those 🐠🐟 are huge!
So big!
Coyote: his arm bleeding like crazy doesn’t even care like if that was me I would feel like I wanna go to the hospital lol
You should put Christina on your team! We love her!
Get the same feeling here as i did watcbing steve. I love you cote
Omg that’s buetuful big fish
How many times can you get bit by something willingly until you’re deemed crazy?
Interesting video Coyote, Mario & Crew & Christina I liked this video yes!!!!👍😅

“Don’t try this at home “ , Yeah ,Like I got Giant Tarpon lying around in my fish tank!
I can't be the only one that read it as "Giant Tampon Fish"
Me too, i misread the title as giant tampon.

Please bring back christina she's so funny and amazing 😂
One of my bucket list catches. So far I've caught 0 saltwater fish and I'm in my late 30s.
Sure hope you know they are a protected species of fish
@@IWannaBeAnArtistToo could you elaborate?
@@SwampyColorado420 sure! You have to have a permit to catch 1 per year if you are aiming for a world/state record. If you do catch one otherwise you have to release them and you cannot bring them out of the water at all. There are more rules about it you can look up :)
In Florida, the commercial sale of tarpon is prohibited. Recreationally, the tarpon provides a huge industry for charter captains. In the Florida Keys, many of these guides make the bulk of their earnings from April through June, the prime months for tarpon migrations. Recreational anglers must obtain a tarpon tag (purchased prior to catching) in order to possess a tarpon. However, most tarpon guides and anglers esteem the tarpon and nearly always release the fish unharmed.
