Three anglers have attracted viewings on social media that highlight their love of fishing and showcase the island’s natural beauty — while a fourth is also trying to amass a viral following.
A blustery winter’s day on the South Shore could not keep friends Tiago Bizarro, Jansen Smith, Jabari Simons and Ty Bascome from casting their lines.
Mr Bizaro’s Off De Hook videos on social media have gone as big as his catches, with one YouTube entry garnering more than a million views.
Mr Smith is on social media as Jacks On Land, and Mr Simons has posted more than 130 YouTube videos as Bari’s Hooked Up.
The four braved the cold at Watch Hill Park in Smith’s armed with GoPro cameras to capture the action.
