New Riptide HD Video (44 Cal. Love Letter)

[Riptide Charters]

I've been playing with all types of music to try to appeal to everyone. This is a little harder than some of the past stuff. It just needed to be used for this video.

A little background on the video:

35# of drag on an Accurate 30 Twinspin Reel with 80# Braid / 80# Flouro
Calstar 700XH CMS Custom Rod rated 40-100# (The Riptide BIG GUN!)
Salty's Lures Big Mouth Popper
Poon' Harpoons
Fight time just under 8 minutes!

Crank it up, jump into the mosh pit and ENJOY!

Thanks Holwachagot, if it were not for the Boxman getting me to think video I never would have done this. I owe him a ton of credit for his help and inspiration.

BRAVO.....

Thanks guys!!!! I'm with Box in that I generaly don't go for stuff quite this hard. I'm and AC/DC - Puddle of Mudd guy as a rule. But when I was on my never ending quest for music I heard this song and the begining sounded awsome, I was turned off a bit by the growling into the mic, but when they dropped "THE PERFECT LINE" near the end of the song I knew EXACTLY how I was going to use the song. We just needed the video to match. So we went out looking to send a .44 Cal. Love Letter STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART!

The music is fast, hard and aggressive EXACTLY what the fight was! The fight was 8 minutes @ 35# of drag on a spinning rod. There is nothing PC or cozy about driving a bronze dart center mass through a living animal.....aggressive! The song was a perfect fit.

As for the Poon, you can see I'm still practicing. These 60" fish make great targets. If we are going to keep a fish I decided this year I would Poon them rather than wait for a gaff shot.
It gives me practice for the time I really NEED to make a Poon shot AND IT"S SOOOOO FREAKING COOL GOING QUEEQUAG on the fish!

Glad you guys like the videos. I have another one in que that will come out shortly. This is the hardest music I'll be using. I have country, allot of rock, some DEEP classical (I know what thats for we just need the video to finish it off) Whatever you like I will likely have something coming with that style music attached.

That strike was awesome! Crazy vid, That 35 pounds of drag stopped that tuna right off. I think the music fits perfect

PS My arms hurt
