You recommend no hook on top? How about two hooks on the bottom. Is that okay?

You’re fishing 40-50# drag?

Thanks about the leader length. What’s a good knot to tie onto the barrel swivel on the leader?

I see hooks only on the bottom. Is there a reason for that? One last question, when do you use low gear? I have a two speed and always wanted to use it.

I'm from FL and only been on two trips in June, so I'm no expert; however, I was very successful on one trip at night using a Shimano Terez Rail Rod - TZCR72XH - 7'2" - 100-150 lb with an Avet 30w 3 speed (didn't use but one speed) spooled with 100 lb diamind g3 braid. Caught all my fish on 300 gram mustad rip rollers. One was Looma Polkadot and one was Ironman. I rigged each jig with 180 lb fluoro leader crimped to a 300 lb swivel. I connect a 500 lb snap swivel to the braid by way of a bimini twist. That way i can easily switch out jigs. I added an assist hook to the top of one jig, but didn't on the other. Both caught at least 4 bluefin tuna on a 1.5 day trip. I was heckled by the staff for the stock hooks; however, 9 fish were landed with those stock hooks. I'm not saying to not upgrade, and it's probably a good idea for the monsters. I just didn't have anymore. I was casting way up-current, then would let my jig fall until it reached the desired depth as marked on my line (marked every 50 feet). Then I'd reel like crazy. Either I'd hook up or drop down and start over. Many of my fish were hooked on the drop. You just have to be aware of any rpm change of your reel spool while dropping. If something changes, reel like crazy. I landed 5 bluefin in the 50 to 60 lb range then hooked and handed off 4 bluefin to others who hadn't caught any. During the day I fished a St. Croix Mojo Salt 7' Heavy with an Avet LX6/3 MC Raptor spooled with 80 braid and a 40 lb fluorocarbon topshot. 8oz. sinkers did the trick during the day. Our nighttime fish were down from 150' to 400'. Daytime were around the same, but not many fish caught during the day. Can't wait to go back.

The worst ever to see

All these viewers ARE ON FIRE ,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Last year was my first tuna fishing trip. I was with a group on a chartered trip (aboard the Legend) in July with great Tuna fishing under a flat calm sea...I had a personal best 90 lbs BFT (using a 420g Crimson Tide Streaker) with the help of excellent, friendly and professional captain and crews. Hopefully, I will land a bigger BFT (that will beat my personal best) with our group on an upcoming July 11 trip. See you guys soon.

Idea for a torture test video, stress an Eddie bomb till the eye of the sinker fails?!? I haven’t done this yet but have talked about tying or chrimp 200 pound to each eye and tie the other end to two trucks see what breaks would be a cool video. Done this with 100# and had two dudes pull like tug of war and the line failed first. Just to prove you don’t need all the “safety” rigging.

I got 7 last week on the pegasus..slay fest!

Is that dog shit on the radar???😂😂😂

Is a fathom 40nld2 gen 1 or 2 ok for a knife jig/ sinker rig setup? If so what rod would be a good pair to this as a dual setup for sinker and knife jigs?

Yea 2 do such a fantastic job on the recaps and congratulations on trip 😅😅😅😅😅😅

Class act! Thanks for your support for this fallen soldier. I hope he's doing well. 78 yrs young doing what he loves. Thanks for the report and your efforts to keep him healthy and comfortable. Thanks for not gaffing the rescue team 😂 God bless the crew, rescuers and USA USA USA!!! Tense moments fielded by consummate professionals.

Great job Steve. See you in September. I prefer to kill my own fish though. Technique, gear, gym rat.

Love you guys and gal.

I'm so glad for the update! I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in July.

Fantastic team you got there steve. We'll be back soon, thanks again for the shout out. The interaction with the crew was next level.

Holy Lefties Ball. There was no such a reel when I was a kid. I got to get in before August trip

Pro tuna fishing!

Cannot wait. November can not come fast enough. Keep up the great work

What does “1x3” or “3x5” mean on the seeker rods?

Okuma xx741custom rail rod for drag setting at 20lb and all base guide epoxy crack. Is this normal for grand new rod? is all crack will absorb water and damage base guide?

505 in 505 pin I love that real perfect for yellowtail tuna

How long mono leader do you recommend on the 100lb rail rod setup?

Awesome. Can’t wait for my trip coming up. Thank you great video.

Nice

After fishing big game, I only use 50 size reel for knife jig. I prefer the visx 50 or TRX 50 topless. Both I have set up to 30lbs of drag at strike and over 40 at full Both have amazing torque.

Any chance you guys have a code I could use at check out 🫣🫣

YOO just seen y’all’s YT! Last 3 times I’ve gone out it’s been with Steve. Amazing time! Can wait for the next few months !

You don't say much on the HXW ? When you speak about sinker rig Witch is the best method? Rubber band or drop shot and what is the best way to fish the drop shot? Thanks great fishing from Utah

I believe I was passed out in the bunk!

TAIPAN's are "HARD"!!!!!

Good stuff gents. As an addendum, is it possible to record what a good swimming jig looks like to DW on the water and also demonstrate what he means “to make the jig swim” ? Thanks in advance

Booked for my son and my cousin in July hopefully they get hooked on some good ones 🤞🏻🙏🏻😇

Hi Use microphone that is attached to you not in camera and quality of clips will be next to none. Thanks for the good channel

How tall is the Seeker 670 rod

What is the best left handed reel for a 100lb setup? I really struggle finding a heavy left handed reel setup

My group will be out there in 2 weeks on your 3 day! Hope the new moon brings a good bite

Great content so much information from safety to How to land Big fish This was like a seminar on How to Land Big fish awesome job keep ‘em cmng

Thank you for the updates. Nice to see Matt back.

Glad to see you posting again!!! Can't wait!

Nawww ain’t going for that !!!

See ya on June 11 for 2.5 days of slaying!

With good reports coming in from other sports boats, the million dollar question is: What about the Legend? So you were right on time. Thanks Steve.

Steve I still need that 100 plus. I’ll probably book next month. 👍🏼

What test leader recommended ?

Capt Steve and Catalina what is your preferred method on attaching a night time jig? I have solid braid and can't decide on wind on leader or the solid braid to shock leader?

Awesome hearing from you both again this year! 👋 Agree it’s been a weird start to the season for sure. Been out three times so far & it’s been lots of daytime miles hunting, only 10:00PM-4:00AM bites and 3 two-outs-bottom-of-the-ninth luck to hook & land a few 100+ fish. Oh and the fish are fighting really hard in this cooler water 💪

Great to see some new content from the boat. My seasion starts next month see you out there
