I understand everyone in the comment section majored in marine biology but I thought I'd just leave this here anyway... 1. It's a sawfish 2. FWC instructed us to cut the line 3. FWC was notified about the catch 4. It's illegal to take sawfish out of the water 5. It's a sawfish 6. It's 100% sawfish 7. It's a fish with a saw on it's head
stix0731 but jeremy wade's was caught in land... so even if it was smaller than this one, it's even more rare. That's the whole point in River monsters, to catch fish species in rivers.
you realize the hook compared to the body is an extreme difference in size. They followed the guidelines, they were gentle, and kept it in the water. This is these guys lives, they care for the animals, they catch and release, and they know how to treat the animals. Ian M
Even if it was legal to take this fish out of the water...I don't think it would be logistically possible. The boat didn't have a crane and I don't think 4 people could drag that monster onto the beach. And I agree, they obviously treated this fish very well and did the right thing in that situation.
7 years after watching this video!!! Brings back the good ole Young Jon B memories. You were probably my age back then!! Time flies!!! 🎣🙏🔥 That frog bite was crazy!!!
Its called a Sawfish. EXTREMELY rare seen creature. you guys are super lucky you got to even see it in its natural habitat. they are believed to be prehistoric fish. They might have even been around when dinosaurs were on Earth.
Or dinosaurs never went extinct just like this fish. There are stories of giant animals. They called them dragons and serpents. Such people as Alexander the great wrote about them. Not the dragons we know but the dragons described by Alexander and others. They were very specific about the features.
Nothing Bad about it, awesome catch! But i was wondering if any of you guys reported catching it for research purposes, since it's an endangered species.
+Mickey Flames there was a show i believe on netflix and one ep they were trying to catch and tag a couple species of sharks and josh was on that ep helping them catch the sharks
Hey man saw your mean comments video. Been a fan for a while and have my own small fishing channel. Thank you for also saying why you couldn’t beach the fish. A lot of people in this commentary talk a big game but less than half would actually try to unhook it. Thanks for the great vids, and awesome info.
For future reference: enjoy the video, just ignore the idiot gallery below. Can't it just simply be enjoyed?! Lol! Nice video Jon B. I wish that I could have the opportunity to be near or visit the shore like that to have all the fun and experience you and your friends were able to enjoy. Thank You for the opportunity for me to at least see it. Amazing catch!
BIOHAZARD-42 lol, I think you're given the common person a little too much credit there. Most people (Americans) don't even know how many states are in the US or who the first president was.
honestly after i read this comment i went and watched perics and i liked it better. he got better shots of the bonitos and a better angle of the sawfish
You weren't kidding when you said rare. Like said below it is one of the rarest fish in the world. What an amazing memory you have right there and is something that should be shared with conservationist and marine biologist in the Florida region, I am sure that they would be quite happy to see that one that size was landed and returned from along the coast.
That sawfish will be just fine. People who fish dont know what they are going to hook onto before they reel it in. I was in a park with my fishing stuff and a canal /river was next to it. I had a little bait left so i decided to cast it in a couple times. I started reeling it in then I couldnt reel it in anymore and figured i was hooked on some rocks. Pulled it a little more and figured let it snap. Next thing a know I see a manatee so i cut the line right away. I felt soo bad. I didnt want to hook into it. The hooks rust away after a week or two and they never feel them. Same thing with that sawfish. You will do more damage trying to bring the fish in to get the hook out. Most people like these guys and me catch and release unless eating it. Stop giving these guys a hard time. They did the right thing.
Idk if anyone else feels this way but the constant collabs you guys do is kinda annoying to watch. 3 people filming the exact same thing for days at a time can get a little repetitive. Just a thought.
i usually find one to be funnier to watch than the others. peric usually funny actions, jon b sarcasm, rob srs bsns. they like cartoon characters u gotta see em all together for the team, but nobody is MAKING you watch all 3.
After some googling it says in 2018 only 20 confirmed sightings of these fish in the country. You guys were truly lucky to see such a beautiful creature.
John you are one of the Few I've put into Legendary status as it goes for GeoFishing list of Legends. Lol Phenomenal consistency and productivity extremely entertaining, inspirational and fun. Much love
People are so quick to judge,condemn and criticize. I felt that these fellas did a excellent job with the fish considering the 4-5 foot saw on the front of it. So easy to say what one would,could,should,can,will do. But until you're in that spot one does not really no. Lot of factors to consider before one starts to run their mouths. Great video guys. And nice job of handling a once in a life time catch
LMFAO. You're going fishing but couldn't wear them shorts because you accidentally got Mustard on them??? WTF. You're going fishing dude, you're not going to Church. I was seriously Laughing My Ass Off during that part. Put your purse down and find your balls then catch some fish. MUSTARD??? LMFAO
Or I just didn't want to be on camera with a giant mustard on my crouch. Then I would have probably gotten comments like... "nice mustard on your crouch dude"... but then again this is TH-cam and I keep forgetting its impossible to satisfy anyone.
I've watched several of your videos, but this was the best yet. I had to sub after watching. I've seen a sawfish when I was a kid in a marsh canal in Bradenton FL, but I have never hooked one. So glad that you did the right thing with this rare giant. Great content, and looked like tons of fun. Good job!
TeqaOGStunting Try going to Brazil and looking at the water around Rio. Ain't a US thing at all. Try Thailand. Or the water people wash themselves with in India.
+Jon B. And John it's really awesome that you reply to fans. Most "you tubers" don't even care about their fans. And ur vids are amazing! Always looking forward to the next one!
You guys look like your having fun. Great friends great boat and great fishing. I would be lying if i said i wasnt just a little jealous . Nice day fishing. Glad to see you brought cameras....peace
i live in florida and i go inshore fishing a lot and i feel like a lot of people overlook it and you should try it. you catch stuff like redfish, mangrove/ red snapper, speckled and silver trout, flounder, and so many different things it’s extremely fun
This is about the best fishing video I've ever seen. I live in FL and I'm lucky to be able to fish like this twice a week in the salt water. I have a 17' John boat for bass fishing as well. I spend 5 days a week on the water. Wouldn't have it any other way.
absolutly amazing.... the drone shots damn..... what a giant.... an epic clip....every fisherman has to love it. keep going jon. Best whishes from Berlin Germany
I understand everyone in the comment section majored in marine biology but I thought I'd just leave this here anyway...

wow
Wait? What, it was a sawfish? It wasn't really a sawfish, was it?
Damn
Jon, you should use the proper nomenclature for a sawfish, Deezicus Nutsacusaurus
your mom's a sawfish
Fish of a lifetime! Glad you were there to enjoy it with me!
that was some river monsters shit!
Yeah I'm sure Jeremy Wade is crying :p his saw fish was a dink compared to that :D
stix0731 but jeremy wade's was caught in land... so even if it was smaller than this one, it's even more rare. That's the whole point in River monsters, to catch fish species in rivers.
Their first day out doing some proper saltwater fishing and what a special one that was!
+Jose Kaun recently he's been out to the ocean if you are a true fan

SALTWATER FROG? WHAT?I AM CONFUSED
LunkersTV look at peric just sitting there making a sand castle at 12:30 im dead 😂😂
12:28 how many people noticed peric making a sand castle in the background while there is a 700 pound fish 20 feet away???
hes 12 what do you expect
Lastcastbassin lol
i know
i think he was flying the drone
maybe maybe not
That was the biggest blue gill ive ever seen😱
It’s your boy wyatt Aka your boy you sure it’s not just a pesky cichlid?
I think that was a king minnow.
Im pretty sure that was a minnow egg
@@sawyer6241 no its 100% a lobster
That was a small king fish for sure
We had an amazing day.
Godspeed
Capt Ben
stolen but:
Frog several miles out in the ocean
Bonita- Yep, I'll take it.
did anyone else see this fish on river monsters?
Can't say I have, but every other episode Jeremy Wade catches a mysterious Arapaima!!! *sarcasm strongly enforced*
Yes, it was on River Monsters. Jeremy was horrified.
Adam Nelson yes I saw jeremy wade catch one
Thicc Shake yeah it’s called a sawfish and they are illegal to land
Yes.
What's bigger, the sawfish's or Peric's nose?
Peric prolly
this bick is digger
cobalt timing. cha in
I think the space in between Jon B's eyes is bigger #SidFromIceAge
Nathanael Lingerfelt that was good
DUDE, that pokemon looked SICK. Amazing catch.
Shiny Gyrados
Bruh so true
Proud to say i watched this vid on the day of its release. Love the vids and progression keep the great content flowing
Pffff. Sawfish...I caught a chainsaw fish...rare..er..I don't have a hand anymore but hey,.
Almost two years ago and I still come back to watch this epic video. Love the editing work done during the sawfish fight.
The swoosh of the fish's tail at the end literally made me jump in my seat! LOL.
10/10 on the editing. DAMN.
Did Alex catch his grouper on lettuce?
yeah i think he caught it on lettuce
+Josh Jahada I'm super pissed rn. Tackle warehouse just ran out of lettuce
+MegaJ2019 have you checked bass pr wait they are out as well
+MegaJ2019 I guess I got really lucky with my LTB because I got lettuce this month.
normally you can find lettuce at local tackle shops since it is so useful for catching giant bass
it's a bluegill with an over bite !
Dan McCarthy no.... this fish is wayyy bigger than bluegill, you need to learn your fish man.
He is joking
TheMoldy Avocado no he serious
Elijah Kuhl how gullible are you
Dan McCarthy one hell of a over bite 😂😂
Awesome vid man!
I didn't know they had dinosaurs in Florida.
Several million, mostly jewish New Yorkers.
lol
GoOutsideMan I'm pretty sure they have birds in Florida
GoOutsideMan good one!
GoOutsideMan you have no idea.... both land and water

He's right, Jeremy had alot of trouble trying to catch one. very lucky
+Seabass370 and the fact that they caught a HUGE one
I know a guy who was featured on national geographic because he proved that they still existed in florida a couple years ago .v.
I thought it was a sawfish
Or dinosaurs never went extinct just like this fish.
There are stories of giant animals. They called them dragons and serpents. Such people as Alexander the great wrote about them. Not the dragons we know but the dragons described by Alexander and others. They were very specific about the features.
Roses are red,

Literally the two best fishing channels team up I am happy
OMG! I'm watching this in 2019, but to see Lunkers (Rob) lookin like Sunshine from the movie Remember The Titans got me over here like 🤭😄😆😂🤣😅
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT SAWFISH IS GIANT!!!
I would not get closer than 10 miles to that thing
it's a sword fish in live in the Bahamas I saw that fish and actually touched it before
not a swordfish bro
@SKYstreaker jesus you're a moron
+SKYstreaker 768 me too man he's really cool to hang out with he has some great sea weed too
That sawfish was HUGE!!! It's so cool and fun to see what you find on the end of your fishing rod.
I keep getting confused with what youtubers are in canada and which ones are with blacktiph lol
Flairs the only one in Canada now
and dallmyd. I'm sure I butchered the spelling of that but whatever
TRF, DALLMYD, flair, KTBTV
Nice bass. Or was it a carp?
Tony A catfish
omg you guys are idiots!
it's clearly a *sunfish!* People can be so dumb sometimes.
No y'all are all wrong, it was an elephant
Wym it’s a chipmunk
Awesome! Not only a rare fish, but to get this kind of video footage is amazing
Oh, and glad Peric's X wasn't there
don't listen to em Jon they wouldn't be game enough to take the hook out if they were there. keep up the good vids:)
Nothing Bad about it, awesome catch! But i was wondering if any of you guys reported catching it for research purposes, since it's an endangered species.
+Mickey Flames Josh called right after we landed the brute. They also walked us through on how to handle it since we had no clue what we were doing..
+Jon B. Alright cool! Since it was such a big shark it might help a lot with their research. :D
+Mickey Flames there was a show i believe on netflix and one ep they were trying to catch and tag a couple species of sharks and josh was on that ep helping them catch the sharks
+Jon B. Thank you for going fishing for Bonita and Goliath grouper. I suggested it and I'm glad you read the comments. THANK YOU
+Jon B. dude can you come to southern Wisconsin and fish with my buddies we have some pretty good smallmouth spots
Hey man saw your mean comments video. Been a fan for a while and have my own small fishing channel. Thank you for also saying why you couldn’t beach the fish. A lot of people in this commentary talk a big game but less than half would actually try to unhook it. Thanks for the great vids, and awesome info.
I think Peric shoulda saddled up that fish and took him for a ride! lol
For future reference: enjoy the video, just ignore the idiot gallery below. Can't it just simply be enjoyed?! Lol! Nice video Jon B. I wish that I could have the opportunity to be near or visit the shore like that to have all the fun and experience you and your friends were able to enjoy. Thank You for the opportunity for me to at least see it. Amazing catch!
ok, I'll ignore you next time
So you’re telling me, that Ive been watching Jon for over 4 years..!?👀 Woah
me too and still hooked, lol
Fun Fact: A Sawfish is a Ray not a shark.
It's a skate
WaffleFri Correct! Still Batoids though unlike sharks.
Fun Fact: I'm white and I have an iPod
handicapitation thats common knowledge
BIOHAZARD-42 lol, I think you're given the common person a little too much credit there. Most people (Americans) don't even know how many states are in the US or who the first president was.
Jon'a vids are so good I watched perics and robs but theirs were eh compared to this one. Keep it up Jon!
Totally true
Yep
My fav was robs..
There all really the same but ok
honestly after i read this comment i went and watched perics and i liked it better. he got better shots of the bonitos and a better angle of the sawfish

My life story
Rain drop

George Schutzius pure genius
I legit forgot that rob had that long hair. So crazy watching back these old vlogs. Everyone looks so young
don't know why they took the big alligator gar to land when he could've easily boat flipped that😑
the alligator gar and the boat flip is a joke before you say something
How could they boat flip it and it is not an alligator gar
Epicbruh Moment do you know how to read
7:16 "Thats a big gloob errr..." lmao
Absolutely beautiful footage on the beach part of the video. An experience I doubt any of you will forget. Thanks for sharing!
If Peric would've lost it he would've been like ooooooomygooood ooomygod that was a 200 pounder that was literally a 200 pounder
Get 200 pumped
That was EPIC!! Great job, fantastic video!
WFT are you guys doing off shore without a gimbal belt?
Idk if anyone else feels this way but the constant collabs you guys do is kinda annoying to watch. 3 people filming the exact same thing for days at a time can get a little repetitive. Just a thought.
dont watch all 3 then...
i usually find one to be funnier to watch than the others. peric usually funny actions, jon b sarcasm, rob srs bsns. they like cartoon characters u gotta see em all together for the team, but nobody is MAKING you watch all 3.
they arent all gonna post the same vlog idiot.
ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE, I CAME HERE FROM JONS COMMENT VIDEO AND SO DID YOU
One Sec oh shit... i forgot to laugh
After some googling it says in 2018 only 20 confirmed sightings of these fish in the country. You guys were truly lucky to see such a beautiful creature.
Has anyone ever mistaken you for Grant Gustin??😂😂🤔
+Chiva Boy lol who's that??
Damn I always thought that that is hilarious
meh. sort of maybe but not really. vaguely similar face type
My names Jon B and I'm the fastest man alive
+Jon B. He is the actor for flash in the tv show
It's kind of hard to go back to freshwater fishing after that.
Yeaa, it kind of is.
ayyy where in IL my dood bc I live in this FANTASTIC state
is it a sawfish
yeah looks like it
+Yuriy Nikolaev how do you commonly see something in some parts.
John you are one of the Few I've put into Legendary status as it goes for GeoFishing list of Legends. Lol Phenomenal consistency and productivity extremely entertaining, inspirational and fun. Much love
was that huge fish that ben caught a grouper?
yep
Jonathan Nutt oh cool 😎
they are Goliath Grouper, that one was most likely 75 to 100 years old, and must be released because they are a protected species
Whiggz it was a bluegill
seeing that would be worth a life time of not catching any fish, holy hell im jealous
People are so quick to judge,condemn and criticize. I felt that these fellas did a excellent job with the fish considering the 4-5 foot saw on the front of it.

And nice job of handling a once in a life time catch
little bit more exciting than freshwater fishing.
Monster smallmouth bro
i forgot how much lunkers tv had changed until i rewatched this video
that has cool when you caught that sawfish
LMFAO. You're going fishing but couldn't wear them shorts because you accidentally got Mustard on them??? WTF. You're going fishing dude, you're not going to Church. I was seriously Laughing My Ass Off during that part. Put your purse down and find your balls then catch some fish. MUSTARD??? LMFAO
Or I just didn't want to be on camera with a giant mustard on my crouch. Then I would have probably gotten comments like... "nice mustard on your crouch dude"... but then again this is TH-cam and I keep forgetting its impossible to satisfy anyone.
Fuck me?? It'd make your mouth hurt kid!!!
Fuck off, I don't deal with hard men like you man your too cool. :)
Good one your so clever!
I agree ... It's only mustard Nancy
where yall in jensen beach florida that boat ramp looks very familiar
a sawfish, I'm scared of dat
2 million views... OHHHH THE AD MONEY
Maybe I should go catch a critically endangered fish (on accident). Then I'll be rich and famous :D
Instant classic in the catalog.
The Rare fish was a Giant Endangered Saw tooth Shark!
Endangered*
If you wanted to be technical is a Carpenter Shark
It's not extinct
+Peyton Jackson its a saw fish
+Kimberly Fishing Addict sawfish is another name for a carpenter shark
the people typing hate comments are vegans
I've watched several of your videos, but this was the best yet. I had to sub after watching. I've seen a sawfish when I was a kid in a marsh canal in Bradenton FL, but I have never hooked one. So glad that you did the right thing with this rare giant. Great content, and looked like tons of fun. Good job!
The waters so fucking dirty
TeqaOGStunting that's called bay water
Copper Bokker oh I don't live in the us so I don't usually hear people say it
ye the sand gets loose so dusts it and makes it look dirty
TeqaOGStunting Try going to Brazil and looking at the water around Rio. Ain't a US thing at all. Try Thailand. Or the water people wash themselves with in India.
TeqaOGStunting cleaner than my toilet water
Gotta lip it to land it...
xLipskey lmao
I came for the title, I stayed because of the editing. 10/10, would watch bass with saw on its face again
Dude that water is absolutely disgusting
Nah it's pretty clean, its just stained.
it's the color of the sand that changes the water color like that Florida has some of the cleans beach around the world.
+Thomas Young really? I didn't know that's how that works. Lol
+Jon B. And John it's really awesome that you reply to fans. Most "you tubers" don't even care about their fans. And ur vids are amazing! Always looking forward to the next one!
+Jon B. What type of fish is it?
must be nice to be rich
It's so sick
please bring me on your next trip, i'll buy my own food

peter okeefe q
meng vang Must be nice being a hater
Epic! And you not only made awesome catches you caught the moments perfectly. Thanks for sharing your day
Lmao Peric had me fuckin laughing when he caught the Goliath!!😂😂😂

The sawfish isn't the bigger story here, lunker with the 90's TV heart throb hair do is priceless 👌
Badass!! Nice catch Jon B!!
You guys look like your having fun. Great friends great boat and great fishing. I would be lying if i said i wasnt just a little jealous . Nice day fishing. Glad to see you brought cameras....peace
i live in florida and i go inshore fishing a lot and i feel like a lot of people overlook it and you should try it. you catch stuff like redfish, mangrove/ red snapper, speckled and silver trout, flounder, and so many different things it’s extremely fun
This is about the best fishing video I've ever seen. I live in FL and I'm lucky to be able to fish like this twice a week in the salt water. I have a 17' John boat for bass fishing as well. I spend 5 days a week on the water. Wouldn't have it any other way.
How big are the hooks for the qrouper, and how much can it hold? And what is the string strength
Jon B is the best fishing TH-camr. Hands down.
DUDE I CANT I LOVE YOUR VIDS YOUR EDITS ARE INSANE i love fishing for small mouth love u
dude im either fishing or watching your videos wishing i was fishing love your videos keep fishing dude!
What line were you using on that big grouper pole?
Coming back to watch some of these old ones and I see rob?! Who is that man
Looked like an absolute beast, great catch man.
Awesome video, Florida is one of my favorite places to fish. That's cool you guys know the rules and let it go the right way.
Dude your videography is amazing
absolutly amazing.... the drone shots damn..... what a giant.... an epic clip....every fisherman has to love it.
keep going jon. Best whishes from Berlin Germany
If this sawfish was in fact 17 feet it would be a joint record holder congratulations and keep up the good videos 😀
Super Video.....Music and Videography at the end is amazing :)
Watched for the fishing, subscribed for the editing skills. Love it!

WOW! I can only dream of catching something that big! Great upload!
