Dropping Baits 4000ft for Deep Sea Monsters

I’m going to drop this massive squid jig down 4000ft, searching for a Giant Squid at Tropic Star Lodge. This world-class Panama resort is located in the Darien Jungle, over 100 miles from the nearest road. Tropic Star has produced hundreds of world records and is home to some of the largest fish ever caught! For the next 5 days, we’ll be fishing for tuna, sailfish, marlin, grouper, and giant squid. After catching the tuna, we returned to the dock, cleaned the tripletail, and brought it to the restaurant. I then met up with Richard White and started building the giant squid rig. The following day, Richard and I headed offshore and found a massive school of bonito busting on the surface. Not catching anything was disappointing, but with the endless possibilities at Tropic Star, I put aside squid fishing and went deep-dropping, targeting new species. The hunt for the giant squid continues.

Spring Fishing Mistakes You Need To Avoid!! (Don’t Be This Guy)2025-03-28T13:02:12+00:00

I Bought the CHEAPEST Amazon Fishing Kit: TOTAL SCAM or HIDDEN GEM?

I put the cheapest Amazon fishing rod combo to the ultimate test. This $40 all-in-one fishing kit comes with a rod, reel, and tackle—but is it actually worth it? I took it out to see if it could handle real fish, and the results were surprising.

If you’re a beginner fisherman or just looking for an affordable fishing setup, this might be the best budget fishing rod you can buy. Watch until the end to see if this Amazon fishing kit is a steal or a scam.
