Hey Josh, not trying to be your mother, and I know this is several months old, but I can tell you that since you previously had cancer, you really should protect your hands with gloves. The chance that you get an infection or sepsis is pretty high post cancer treatment and we don't want to see anything happen to you. Talk to your doctor about it. I know you're an adult and you have everything handled, but obviously we want to see you around for a long time. I know gloves suck and theyre hot, uncomfortable, ungainly, etc.
I love that your videos 1. Teach me about new fish/fishing techniques in every video, and 2. Show the joy and rush of fishing that gets you hooked. I love the channel and I’m so glad you are doing so much better!!!
I only just found this channel. You're an absolutely amazing host, and your enthusiasm is contagious. I don't even fish and I couldn't stop watching. There's something very special about being able to get people interested in something they previously had no interest in. And I respect the hell out of wanting to share that. And envy being able to do it for a living. I may have only found your channel today, but I'm glad you beat cancer and are back to living your life to the fullest. I don't know any details about the cancer other than surgery was involved. But I know it's a horrible thing no matter how it goes down.
The guy uses automated reels and keeps under sized fish. Not a great example for the fishing community. Sorry to hear he had health issues no one deserves that. Just not a fan of the fishing style
I know I’m a little late but it’s great to see you back and doing what you love glad your health is improving and it’s nice to see some fishing from you again
And I'm sure they cut the rope holding the concrete blocks used as anchor, so hopefully the rope will entangle a turtle or something else. Thanks to these fishermen!
Did you notice he said “especially for someone who just came out of surgery”? He was recovering when this video was shot… so yes, maybe for a typical casual fishing situation… but there are always exceptions
😢 i dont see how any one could get off on this, like a massive sword fish that you would wall mount yeah but a tiny one just growing surely not , its people like this guy that ruin the sea 🌊
@@DizzyDollars cry about it, there is thousands more in that area alone, and that swordfish is basically/already an adult. the huge ones are elders, not just normal adults.
@@SamoyedThailand i literally said its already an adult, plus either way swordfish dont contribute anything to the ecosystem other than 'pest' control.
@levigaming7001 they absolutly do contribute to the ecosystem, any animal does in some way and those that can seem the most unimportant can have the biggest impacts if removed. Nobody here is saying dont fish at all but catching and killing young/small fish of a species is what reduces their numbers towards endangerment
Squid have their “brain” in a ring around their main trunk. Their “throat” goes through this ring. So if the squid takes a bite of food that’s a little too big, they can literally give themselves brain damage from eating too much.
3:04 speak of our hands. I can't tell you how many scars I have on my hands from tying knots, hooking myself, bite marks from monster Chinook salmon and so on. I have a small scar on my chest from where I was bitten by a Steelhead trout. I love every one of my scars because I was having fun when I got them.
What is that some kind of rich man fishing, I would be bored out of mind fishing like this. I have been catching big fish in these waters most of my life and never once used an electric rod and just stood there pushing a button.
i was thinking i waas thinking im wrong for thinking that same exact thing. id rather break poles, come back next year and try again than do this everyday
If Dr. Marwan is an expert then should know that nobody should keep a swordfish that small. These slow growing fish grow to over 1000 lbs., its like killing a baby still in diapers. Blame yourself when they are extremely endangered.
I remember being out on the party deep sea fishing boats as a kid watching the older/disabled guys use electric reels. Don’t let haters hate, you just had a surgery. It’s about enjoying the sea and the beautiful life we can catch and eat!
I know you said that the electric reel isn't cheating, but where's the fun in just throwing out a bait and waiting, and then pressing a button. the most action you get is watching the fish fight the reel instead of you and then gaffing it. I get bored if I'm not doing the work of at least working a jig or something while surf fishing a live bait on another rod. Setting the hook yourself and finessing a bait is more than half of the fun for me. Technique and skill, way more satisfying than sitting and waiting. and then using an electric reel on top of that... I couldn't. And I also have a very messed up back with herniated disks. But that's just me.
Hey man, thanks for the content, I'm currently based in Saudi and have been missing the South African coastal fishing. Fantastic to see the activity in the red sea!
I own a hunting fishing lodge in Canada. When guiding for Northern Pike, I expect to have “fisherman” hands at the end of the day, cuts and bleeding for sure. Jim L.
This is one of my favorite guides I've seen you go out to fish with. I saw a lot of ppl have commented that he's inhumane towards the animals but this is a man who's fishing to feed his family every night. To me it seems like he respects the fish and knows that most of these large squid and swordfish could seriously hurt ppl if not handled correctly. This is how he pays his bills and supports his kids, and you can tell the importance of it to him through how much he knows. Great video, I just recently found your channel again and I'm going to do some fishing this week for the first time in a few years.
Pretty smart and cheap way to anchor in such deep water, other than what I could only imagine the recovery of your anchoring gear presuming you do. I'm curious though why not just use an electric motor with GPS spot lock? Understandably it's quite expensive for a larger boat but is there any advantage to this method of anchoring in deep water? Please understand I'm not trying to be rude, I'm actually quite curious as an avid fisherman.
Very interesting to see you fishing in Jordan! Just searched it up on the map. Crazy place man. To think theres water 2k feet deep there and able to catch fish. Wild
I’ve flown out to Loretto Mexico to fish the sea of Cortez for giant squid to use as bait for catching “Dorado” or “mahi-mahi”, depending.. if you’ve never been, I highly suggest you go on a fishing trip lol The resort is five stars with your room sitting on white sand beaches with Crystal Clearwater by the way so it makes for a really Bitchin fishing/vacation trip. The fishing boats beach themselves right outside of your hotel room early in the morning to pick you up. You fill out a card the day before of what kind of lunch and drinks/beer or whatever snacks.(all of which is included with the all-inclusive hotel) you want on board for the day. It’s an absolute blast and I highly suggest it. I’ve been 4 different times because it’s some of the best fishing I’ve ever done.. there was so many squid that the captain told us do not fall off the boat because you will never be seen again! He said that they would eat you alive before you had a chance to climb back on board and he wasn’t joking. You guys seem to have problems with other animals, biting your squid we had problems with bigger squid, taking chunks out of the squid we had on the line 😂 those things have the biggest beak and they were big enough to easily chop four of my fingers off if I picked it up wrong! Sorry for the super long post, but I really think you should check the place out if you like Mexico, squid fishing and Dorado😂
What part of the world are you guys in? We get the giant squid out here central California half Moon Bay for the most part. I didn’t use an electric reel hit the bottom at 2800 feet hooked up. It was a long hour after that like reeling up a bucket of cement.

Really appreciate the feedback buddy! I will definitely talk to my doctor about this 🙏
Thats some quality advice. 🙌
I honestly didn't even think about that. Smart
Let him live
I shall also use that advice
Aqaba is awesome! Well done Josh shedding some light on this part of the world.
I love that your videos 1. Teach me about new fish/fishing techniques in every video, and 2. Show the joy and rush of fishing that gets you hooked. I love the channel and I’m so glad you are doing so much better!!!
He yelled at those 2 squid as though he was trying to break up a fight between his own kids 😂😂
I was literally waiting for him to say “I will TURN THIS BOAT AROUND!” 🤬
THAT'S hilarious !
HE PROBABLY COULDNT TELL THE DIFFERENCE

Your not a real fisherman
I know I’m a little late but it’s great to see you back and doing what you love glad your health is improving and it’s nice to see some fishing from you again
Y'all gaffed a baby sword that's crazy outta pocket I'm not feeling that bs big sword dragging boats or some siht
New to automated fishing. About as exciting as watching tuna caught in nets.
Yea I love how he tries to say it's not cheating but 100,000% is cheating
@@jamesjdmI know it’s deep water but I’m in agreement with you
Josh, this is by far your best series!! throughly enjoyed it and glad your health is much better now.
Well done fishy one.
Cool nice video, but that baby sword fish is just too small to keep for more
are they electronic reels? like you dont reel it in yourself?
Yes sir
AND UNDER
SIZED FISH
Josh why kill such small swordfish?
And I'm sure they cut the rope holding the concrete blocks used as anchor, so hopefully the rope will entangle a turtle or something else. Thanks to these fishermen!
How can you possible say electric reels are not cheating?? I use electric reels. Of course they are cheating.
agreed. i can justify using an electric if you are just catching for food, but if you are just fishing for fun, there is not point.
I was thinking the same thing where is the Fun in that.
This is not that kind of fishing. This is 2k feet of water. 5 major league parks from home plate to center field
Did you notice he said “especially for someone who just came out of surgery”? He was recovering when this video was shot… so yes, maybe for a typical casual fishing situation… but there are always exceptions
@@sabrinariehl4379it’s definitely cheating. Fishing is a sport for a reason. You need to be in good shape for this kind of fishing.
Sad to see a young / little swordfish get killed... such beautiful fish!
😢 i dont see how any one could get off on this, like a massive sword fish that you would wall mount yeah but a tiny one just growing surely not , its people like this guy that ruin the sea 🌊
@@DizzyDollars cry about it, there is thousands more in that area alone, and that swordfish is basically/already an adult. the huge ones are elders, not just normal adults.
I@@levigaming7001 tbh there are a lot in the ocean it fishing a juvenile and killing it is not really nice.

That’s so interesting! Food induces brain damage is wild 😂
Does that line ever work on women?

Super happy to see you back out in your element doing your thing! Lets goo Blacktip!
So happy to see you out of the hospital and back on the water!

Good food is wasted on you.
Not a size limit fish.

These video's were super fun to watch! Really something different :)
Did they pull up the ankers with the nylon rope attached or just cut it loose and leave it in the sea?
I remember being out on the party deep sea fishing boats as a kid watching the older/disabled guys use electric reels.
Don’t let haters hate, you just had a surgery.
It’s about enjoying the sea and the beautiful life we can catch and eat!
Visited Jordan in 2009, had a fantastic time, loved every minute

WOW!!! What a man! It must take real courage to throw the switches on your automatic reel.
For real
HUMBOLT SQUIDS ARE MY FAVOURITE AHHHHH
I already love this video and im only 40 seconds in
I just love squids man
Josh is the best angler ever....always happy ..cheerful...exciting...love his funny laugh 😅😅😅😅
Electric reels how exciting 😂 there will never be anything like walkers cay chronicles again
Great to see you up and FISHING again. This one is truly unique! You can ALWAYS tell a Mans History... By his hands. TRUTH
Bro this isn't fishing. This takes as much skill as using a net. Automatic reels are cheating
@@jamesjdm pov random internet user sees someone happy who just got out of surgery:
Hey man, thanks for the content, I'm currently based in Saudi and have been missing the South African coastal fishing. Fantastic to see the activity in the red sea!
Softcock fishing of the future ... bravo your the best
What in the world are you doing keeping these baby swords?!
Josh it is so great to see you back. Awesome video I truly loved it. Stay safe my friend
Bro this is so awesome..Very happy to see you doing well and back doing what you love!
Wow they were some big squid! Very cool to see the surroundings over there. Petra! Wow City carved into cliffs… really amazing! Nice job
4:24 The fact that creatures like this exist is nothing short of mind blowing.
those swordfish are absolutely tiny. smallest I have ever seen. No wonder you didn't have to fight it at all.
Fish or no fish I’m just glad to see you back. You are an inspiration.
Hello from Egypt red sea Hurghada so nice to see you in red sea 😊
I like what the Dr said there is everything down there
I want to sit at a table and have a couple beers with that captain. I bet he has some cool stories.
The best show ever has ever gone last time
Love this vidio bro 🥰🥰❤❤🥰❤❤🥰🥰🥰
Such a beautiful place in the world!! Pray for peace!! ☦️ Awesome fishing
Love the video , keep up the good work !!
" You've seen JAWS ? " answer " Yes, of course..." It's like asking a car guy and/or Southerner if they've seen Smokey and the Bandit.
Can you catch one without a device? Is this really fishing when you’re not reeling yourself??
Fancy shirts fancy reels.but no ice?
Love ur vids keep it up
have not watched since i heard the news wow you are back at it. such inspiration, your sense of humor always has me laughing.
Quel pesce spada non è troppo piccolo???
Si, piccolo pesce spada...troppo piccolo
that electric reel is a great idea especially for upper body disabilities
What an epic trip. Cool!
The classic film ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ featured Wadi Rum. Spectacular.
NICELY DONE MATE GREAT JOB IAM WATCHING FROM AUSTRALIA TIGHT LINES EVERYONE AND MERRY CHRISTMAS 👍 🎅
Exciting fishing trip at sea
Coming in with THE BOYS ❤
That was a incredible adventure catching 2 swordfish on 1 day plus the fact one was chewed on by a mako shark
This video is insane! Wow
Amazing, super, awesome ....like always
This video is so good! Love your channel!!
never been this early! keep up the good work man!!!
Cool day of fishing. Squid are incredible animals. Aliens
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩

Super cool footage!! Im still not sure how i feel about electric reels though...... feels like a winch to me.
5:00 Is the squid changing color? That's pretty neat
they killed it
The water is sooooo beautiful there
This video is amazing! Awesome job!
Amazing monster. There are no creatures like this in the sea near me!
I’ve never seen anything like this before in my life !!!😮😮 amazing 🤩 🥰🙏🙏
Awesome adventure bro!
I. Love watching your video s on RUclips
That was fun. Good fishing video.
Wow imagine how sick it would be to go fishing with him! Would be so amazing
Great video! But the best thing for me was seeing you back out there brother!

ALWAYS love your fishing trips, soo much fun to watch... Beautiful area of the world. How was the coffee?
Welcome back josh
Wow. Never would I have considered a trip to the Mid-east. THIS could change that for sure.
Fabulous trip!
Swordfish are way to small,pity you keep them at that size.
💯
Love your videos keep em up man so glad your recovered

Big squid,nice content..good job cameraman 👍
Love the video =)🙄
That is some fishing rod line depth finder set up never seen that before
How many sailors around the world through human history have been lost at sea and never made it to the bottom in one piece? 🦑
Scary as bro 😮
Jordan looks great
Squid are intelligent animals. I think they will remember.
Two years max lifespan..
Not much to recall except non-stop feeding!
