What happens beneath the boat during an offshore fishing fight? Moose Adventures captured the answer with the CHASING CanFish Fishing CamX near New Zealand's Three Kings Islands. The footage shows a powerful 45 kg (100 lb) yellowtail kingfish fighting underwater, a mako shark charging into the frame, and a great white shark approaching and interacting with the camera. These real-world encounters reveal an unseen side of offshore fishing, showing how fish and predators behave beneath the surface. Discover how underwater fishing footage can transform an unforgettable fishing trip into a story anglers can watch, understand, and relive long after the fight is over.

During a 24-hour carp fishing session, @carpgone used the CanFish CF1 underwater camera to see what was happening beneath the surface. The footage reveals the underwater environment around the fishing spot, including the lakebed, structure, weeds, and bait area—details that are difficult to understand from the bank alone. For carp anglers spending long hours in one swim, underwater visibility can provide valuable insight into the fishing environment and help them better understand where they are placing their bait. Discover how CanFish CF1 brings a new perspective to long-session carp fishing by helping anglers see the water they are actually fishing.

Australian angler Rob Taylor captured a dramatic trolling moment off the Great Barrier Reef using the CanFish Fishing CamX underwater camera. A fast-moving mackerel attacked a Halco 190 Laser Pro lure twice, missing both times within seconds. While the surface action showed only a missed hookup, the underwater footage revealed the full story — multiple high-speed strikes, angle-dependent attacks, and near-perfect chases that never fully connected.

This case highlights one of the biggest challenges in trolling: anglers rarely see what happens beneath the surface. From lure tracking depth to fish approach angles and split-second strike decisions, most critical details remain invisible without underwater observation.

With CanFish CamX’s 1080P HD imaging, ultra-wide lens, and stable underwater tracking, anglers can now replay the entire strike sequence and understand why fish miss, not just when they bite. In Rob Taylor’s footage, the mackerel didn’t simply “miss” — it chased, reacted, and struck with precision, but never achieved a clean hookup.

This transforms a frustrating “almost catch” into actionable insight, helping anglers refine lure speed, depth, and presentation for future trolling success.
