A boatside strike gives Grunt Style a fishing-sized surprise
The first-person fishing clip has passed two million views alongside three new cadence and fitness uploads.

Ever caught a fish this big?
The lure is almost back to the boat when the water erupts. A huge fish strikes close to the unnamed angler, bends the rod and turns a calm river scene into splashing, hurried reeling and an involuntary shout.
"Ever caught a fish this big?" supplied Grunt Style's most watched upload of the week by a considerable margin. Posted on November 2, it has passed two million views and remains the channel's busiest video each day. The apparel company's channel mixes its military-themed material with viral clips, and this fishing encounter is the week's clear departure from the parade ground.
Viewers are discussing what kind of fish it might be, with several suggesting a wels catfish. Others recall their own snapped lines and startling kayak encounters, or reach for the inevitable bigger-boat joke. The clip itself leaves the species unnamed and shows the angler struggling with the fish rather than a landed catch.
The other three uploads stay closer to the brand's familiar territory: "Which one is your favorite cadence?", "What is your favorite cadence?" and "Grunt Style Fitness". Their audiences were much smaller. An older truck clip, "That marine tried to stop a 64000 lbs truck with his left hand", also continues to draw attention, though nowhere near the fishing video's daily audience.
Grunt Style added about 2,000 subscribers over the week, accounting for half its monthly increase. Daily views are also above their usual pace, with that boatside swirl providing the largest share of the channel's current viewing.

What viewers say
I was an unsophisticated fisherman taught by unsophisticated fisherman. Bluegills and bullheads. If I was running a lure like that, someone would have said stop it, you're scaring the fish away.
