Sportfishing Dreams! The Independence Sportfishing Experience.
Thank You to the 30+ Strangers that became Friends to help create this moment. You all made this experience happen.

Some moments just can’t be planned or captured. Chances increase if you prepare for it.

4K Big Screen with a Soundbar or phone/tablet with headphones will be worth it. Sound is designed for it.

Could have easily remained a dream. A moment it became. One of the greatest moments of my life. Now a memory that will live on forever through video.

Young’s Tackle 6 day in April 2026.

The Nomad Design Madmacs is an indestructible, high-speed sinking trolling lure. Its standout Spanish Mackerel color pattern is a go-to choice for targeting large pelagics like tuna and wahoo. The lure is famous for its patented Autotune tow-point system, allowing it to vibrate and track flawlessly at speeds ranging from 5 to 20 knots

The Okuma Makaira 20 Gold (MK-20II) is a premium, 2-speed lever drag conventional reel built for heavy-duty big game saltwater fishing. It is highly regarded for targeting marlin, shark, and tuna

We are fishing for blues on the final day of our trip. Watch our last attempt to land these fish using a trolling rig setup.

This video documents our final efforts to target bluefish during a coastal fishing trip. If you enjoy saltwater fishing content or want to see how we manage our gear during a high-stakes outing, this session shows our tactical approach to chasing blues before packing up. We focus specifically on the trailer presentation that helps us attract bites in tough conditions.

Whether you are planning your own fishing trip or just looking for bluefish fishing techniques, we break down how we adjust our strategy when time is running out. By watching our process for fishing for blues, you can see how we adapt to the water conditions on the fly.

The time has come to make due on old promises. Join me on a Nature photography hike to talk about what’s on the table for the next chapter of my channel.
New adventures in planning and the effort will be nothing short of 100% as I will try to make the cleanest short films I can for the viewer experience.

Mastering forest cinematography requires balancing heavy camera gear while navigating rugged, unpredictable terrain.

This footage provides a candid look at how I manage outdoor video production while trekking through dense woodlands. By analyzing these clips, you will see exactly how I position my body and equipment to secure stable shots despite the uneven dirt paths and natural obstacles. The focus here is on maintaining fluid camera movement when you do not have the luxury of a paved studio floor or perfectly flat ground.

I am sharing these specific angles to help you improve your own field workflow when shooting on location. Observing how a filmmaker moves through a natural environment offers practical lessons on weight distribution and shot composition that often get lost in theory. Whether you are building your kit or refining your technique, understanding the physical demands of forest cinematography is essential for getting professional results away from home.

We are out on the open ocean, with the Independence, getting into some serious deep sea fishing. The saltwater fishing was incredible, and you can see the fishermen at sea working hard to get the bites. This fishing video captures all the action and the thrill of boating on the big blue. 🎣

Join us for some awesome mountain biking adventures through scenic bike trails. We’re hitting the outdoors, enjoying the fresh air and the thrill of bike riding. It’s a great day for biking and camping!

Do Yellowfin fight harder than Bluefin? Is that a thing? Please let me know what you think. After watching the footage of my 6 catches, it seem that the Yellowfin had more fight than the similar size Bluefin. Maybe one or two more runs in them. I added a photo of our location in the video. We hooked up with some fish that wanted to play on the 3rd day. This Yellowfin made me work a bit and loved every second of it. The Independence is and amazing boat and the team didn’t rest for a second when we were searching for fish. The sport fishing of tuna is exhilarating. First person view to share the experience
