No one thought a fish this big could be caught
Ever seen a fish so big it turns a boat into a human top? 🌪️ We took the Ultra Skiff 360 out into the Atlantic to see if this "floating saucer" could handle the ultimate apex predator: the Goliath Grouper. Things got intense fast. #Fishing #GoliathGrouper #UltraSkiff #ChewOnThis #MonsterFish
The Story: In this episode of Chew On This, Captain Ben Chancey and the crew head off the East Coast of Florida for our annual heavy-tackle showdown. We put the Ultra Skiff to the ultimate test—fighting 500lb+ monsters from a circular platform. Watch what happens when the drag screams, the boat starts spinning out of control [08:15], and the equipment literally starts breaking under the pressure [10:15].
Why This Video? If you love extreme fishing, saltwater monsters, or innovative boat tech like the Ultra Skiff, this is the definitive "David vs. Goliath" battle.
