I Caught the Biggest Snapper I've Ever Seen!!

I'm back fishing in Tropic Star Lodge, and in this episode, I catch the biggest snapper I've ever seen! Richard and I used bonito as bait to target these massive Cubera Snappers on Zane Grey Reef. Cubera snappers are the largest snapper species found in the world.

17:00 josh asks what was that for the 3rd time in 1 minute and richie finally loses his patience and barks in his best American accent (for the third time) "it's a shARk" I was rollin😅

[@davisfamilyoutdoors3450]

Always good fishing there!

[@Anchan7896]

[@mansurmoutran5006]

Panamá 🇵🇦 never disappoint welcome back 🫡

[@PugetSoundFishermen]

No surprise to see Josh BACK AT IT! Rooting for you from The PNW!

[@blackvelvet631]

Definitely going there hundred percent. That’s my dream trip.

[@logantheslogan6528]

Your insane. My mother just had a skin graph for her skin cancer and it’s hard to just walk. Your catching 50-60lb fish in the ocean. Crazy😂love to have blacktiph back in motion glad your ok❤️

[@brotherbrian5625]

Richard and his crew are true Artist and Conservationist. What a pleasure it would be to do a trip like that. ✊

[@joshuapryor387]

Y'all should really come out to New Zealand to do some fishing at some point. The bay of Islands is an insane fishing spot with the biggest striped marlins in the world, and we have some of the biggest amberjacks in the world (we call them yellowtail kingfish) but they are massive and can grow up to 150 pounds and they are beautiful fish. Love the content and are looking forward to seeing more soon!

[@sereiarenata2563]

Show. Amo o trabalho de vocês. Saúde e sucesso.

[@Naturalfishingvideo]

Wow this amazing fishing and Great videos 😍📸

[@isabellabarrass8773]

[@allanj917]

[@Leanderfishing]

Awesome video guys

[@EthanJohnson-vo8lc]

[@peterhammerman7052]

Going in august can’t wait is an understatement hoping to get my first blue before the age of 15!

[@samasim3944]

Great fish Josh 🤙!!! Next time you get a fish with Barotrauma, Fish have a soft film of skin behind the pectrol fins that also heals quickly . Tight lines bud 😎

[@fishingAbdya6108]

[@maxfastest]

[@LoudKing19]

Beating cancer instantly means that you’re super strong and has a great mindset. You are someone special❤

[@permitfisher]

I’ve fished there before…tried to catch one with a fly. Dang 30lb. jacks kept eating my fly before cubera would

[@Godhe13]

woww..gampang sekali dapat ikan

[@teddy_123.]

NICE

[@paperjeff3803]

Is there a diff between using a rubber band and just hooking the live bait?

[@delbertthompson8736]

The gills sure look like an amberjacks!

[@badvibes501]

Atleast 14 feet! 😂😂😂 I'd say more like 5 - 6 ft - josh 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RPMFISHIN]

How much did our boy Richard have to drink about halfway through this video lmao

[@davidlyons8278]

I wish so much wellness……. So many love you…

[@ATC235]

[@butteredpickles]

[@EZPZGAMING100]

Epic

[@lordkered]

Biggest Snapper I've ever seen. I was diving here 36°16'07.1"S 174°47'42.7"E. It was enormous.

[@kolaAlakija]

what happens to the bait when you catch a fish?

[@tombrown7577]

I would love to tug on a Cubera snapper that size!

[@seanhaberman4619]

Have any of you seen the guy that got a 135lbs cubera with a spear gun? It was absolutely insane looking.

[@lornaandretti1701]

first time on with harness after his ops ..... celebrate ..........life 2024

[@user-zh3ww6ur8x]

Ladies and gentlemen I give you shark 🦈 AHHHRRR

[@Mintnumber]

Massive black tip

[@rinisrilestariana9985]

Saya suka dengan topi itu, sangat senang dengan cara memancing seperti anda

[@sereiarenata2563]

Agora sei como Alfredo de Carvalho se sente.

[@enzofoscarin8484]

why u guys leave de hook?

[@dandanthegarbageman6]

Caught a massive one in the Bahamas, probably 60lbs. Meat was worthless. Tough as a dry steak

[@23stance]

You should try to get cleetus on here

[@clintonvanrijsbergen5017]

Is the captain south African he sounds like it hey boet

[@jeffreysharrock2793]

whats up guys

[@mericafreedomland3583]

Congrats on beating cancer absolutely insanely amazing accomplishment

[@lornaandretti1701]

Joshls voice.............. fish on snapper .. 2024

[@GrizzlyHunt26]

Hey Cool 😎 Dood....

[@brisingrbrom9542]

Idk why he wouldn't just use a descender. Don't need to waste hooks and leave a broken rusty one in a fishes lip waiting to fall out. Easier to use too and you already have a down rigger

[@jessechapa5400]

My only question is HOW BIG IS THAT, RICHARD?

[@walkerwoods6104]

I caught a seagull one time

[@user-rg3vl3cr8v]

❤❤❤

[@user-rg3vl3cr8v]

Kemn Achen

[@daviskegley9987]

I have heard stories of bigger marlins 500 + being found with billfish bills in their stomachs.

[@moxonsekel1112]

how much does one of these trips cost???

[@peterhammerman7052]

I’m going next august, depends on the type of boat you get, how many days u stay, type of room, how many people but anywhere from 4500-20k

[@user-su5lo8hr3c]

Buy some scales and a fish measure

[@zacharyduncan6118]

No way that first one was 50 lbs lol
