- We went fishing for bluefin tuna for the first time this season. I was finally able to try out the trolling method using the Nomand MadMac lures and we were very successful! We hooked 5 bluefin tuna on the troll, but only managed to put the gaff in three of them. We also found a kelp paddy which was holding a school of hungry yellowtail! I suffered a few breakoffs, but Mike was able to put two beautiful California Yellowtail on the boat to round out a bag of bluefin. Just another day fishing in paradise!
#bluefintuna #fishing #tunafishing
damn put the boat in idle after yall are hooked up screaming staying at 5-8 knotts the whole time lmaooo after 5 minutes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
was wondering why the boat was still in gear? is it a strategy to keep this lines tight?
way too fast gotta just be barely in gear
Throttle up the boat some more maybe you’ll pull the other hook
Definitely learned a lot since first time trying the madmacs. We'll get it dialed in
Looks like they are trying to drown the fish
no shit.
The guy with the beard may want to stick with trolling.
Fishing with SD, ALL RIGHT!! GREAT DAY Thank you
Killer video & fishing 🎣 Can't wait for the next 1 🤙🏽
Thanks! Same here. Hopefully I'll have a reason to post another soon! Weather is looking good this weekend...
Nice! First report on the madmacs this season, its going to be a good season.
So stoked to have one on the boat already. Looking forward to things heating up!
What a day! Bluefin and Yellowtail… that what I’m talking about!🎣😃
Yeah the yellowtail were an unexpected bonus for sure! Awesome day.
Hey I love it, great video! As a San Diegan trying to figure out this fishing game I appreciate your honesty and knowledge share. See you out there!
Thanks man! Glad to know others are getting out there and enjoying the great outdoors. See you on the water!
Love the new camera angles! Nice work.
Thanks man! Trying to step it up a notch!
Just subbed I like a longer videos like this one , just not a fan of Shorts , keep the good content coming .
Tight lines ! 👍
Thanks! I agree I prefer to watch and make the long content, but I figured I might as well get the shorts out there too!
Good Job 👏 Amazing fishing video 😊
Thanks for tuning in! It was a fun trip
Mad Mackin it!! Go boys! 🎉

Never in my life have i seen anyone keep the motor running at the same trolling speed long after you have hooked up. You might have caught both fish if you would have put the engine in neutral. Are you trying to post a video of what not to do?
Cabo , this technique works well to land larger tuna but needs to slow down the speed you just want the forward momentum to be enough to keep his head coming
To the boat , I’m sure they will figure it out soon enough..
amazing video. Nice work.
Thank you sir!
Cool, Thank you..
Freakin kool start to the season..
Yeah I'm feeling pretty stoked about it! Thanks for watching
Question, if your tellin, Was this Mexico or near the 9..... I have a smaller boat and can only do the Upper 9 on good days. I atleast want a Yellowtail
It was further. Probably about 35 miles offshore past the 302
Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could th-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.
Sometimes I've gotten lucky with the accidental double order too. Wish it happened more often 😎
Can’t wait for the next trip🤙🏽
Same here!
What size is that Speedmaster?
Speed master 12II - not ideal I know.
@@mike_Craig4500 All good! It got the job done! Was thinking about grabbing one of them so was interested to see you trolling with it. I don't have K's of $$$ to have this massive arsenal of rods and reels...tight lines!
Sorry for the question, why put the boat in gear while reeling in the fish?
A couple of reasons from what I understand (not an expert) 1. The jigs are very heavy so if you get slack in the line a lot of times the can fall right out... Especially if you've been fighting a while. 2. The fish tend to swim with the boat a bit more so you can get them close to up and down then finish the fight with the boat out of gear. You see a lot of big pelagic trolling videos that use this method. Especially for wahoo.
You’re one lucky guy. I also went out on Saturday trolled from the 371 to the 425 no action or paddies anywhere. Also didn’t see any boats out there…. Where were you guys fishing that day?
Yeah they were further west it seemed like and running north HARD. We followed them up with the fleet about 10 miles. The fleet was stop and go all day not sitting on any schools.
im in northern Arizona Prescott, the guys that are going with me want to fish the Coronado Island or near them,
The Coronados have been cold and dirty water lately. Better chance offshore. Hopefully that'll change soon but everyone right now is driving right past the islands to fish kelp pattys and tuna offshore
Why do you guys don’t stop the boat while y’all reeling em in ?
It keeps their head pointed towards the boat after the initial run. Then you slowly crank them in! I was going to fast but just idling is plenty. Also these jigs are huge so it doesn't allow the line to slack up and fall out.
Sweet fishing. If I want to fish out of San Diego, it’s going to cost WAY more to travel round trip.
It's a destination for a lot of people! Lucky to have it in my back yard.
Cool video! My unsolicited $.02 turn the clicker on the reel off amd youll have a better audio experience for the watcher. Was driving me crazy. Lol. Other than that, I enjoyed the video. 👍
Excellent advice! I always forget until I watch the video... Need to get into a better habit of turning it off
@SD Kook haha right on brother you got a new subscriber!
Thank you
You should put the boat in full throttle instead of slowing down lol
That's as fast as my boat goes!
What type of camera do you use? Thanks
I have a GoPro 8 and I just started using an Insta360 X3. It's awesome.
Got em!!!!!!
Yeah buddy!
He needed to keep the rod tip up and keep steady pressure on the fish similar to what you were doing.
Grate catch, How far off shore did you have to go be for you got in to them
We were about 40 miles offshore
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤙🤙🤙
What size treble hook you guys replace the Madmac 200 with?
4/0 xxxstrong owner hooks
Are you tying the madmac to mono of are they on a steal leader then to mono
It is a straight tie direction to the lure, no crimps, no wire leader. In this case I'm using a wind on floro leader, but heavy mono will be just fine.
Did you change the hooks and split ring on your madmacs? If so what model/size are they?
Yes, 5/0 xxxstrong mustard treble hooks. And I believe 450lb owner split rings.
@@SDKook thanks did you guys get more bites on the 200mad mac or 160? also what pound test is your trolling leader?
Actually one more on the small one.
How fast were you trolling I want to try this on the east coast
About 13 knots. Good luck interested to hear how it goes on the east coast! Thanks for watching!
how far out did you have the mad mac and how fast were you trolling them, Grate camera action.
Had them staggered at 240ft, and on at about 200 so they don't get tangled. Traveling about 13 knots. Thanks! Been working on trying to get some unique shots.
@@SDKook Thank you, im think ill tow my boat down to San Diego mid June from Arizona and fish for 3 or 4 days any helpful pointers. THANK YOU
Good luck!
@@joedansereau381 where in Arizona you from bro, am heading to Catalina in June and toeing my boat to catch tge 3Bs and yellowtail will be great.
What size madmacs did you use
I was using both the 200mm and the 160mm size. Both got bit.
Cool thank you 🤙🏼
Where’d did you go to run into them? South 9 mile?
No, about 10 miles west of 302
@@SDKook thanks for the reply! awesome videos bro hope to see you out there some day
What zone ?
10 miles west of 302
Awesome video man and what a day ! Do you need Mexican permits to fish that area ?
Yes, and a Mexican import permit for the boat.
@@SDKook I’m pretty sure you don’t need an import permit if you leave out of SD and never dock in MX
Maybe not for offshore, but definitely for the islands (at least this is what the SAC website says: "Vessels must be imported when visiting Mexican territory, which includes a 12-mile diameter from any Mexican island."). I figure $90 for 10 years of not having to worry about it is good peace of mind either way.
Nice job. We’re you just west of the 302 ?
We were closer to 10 or 15 miles west of the 302. They pushed further out that day than days prior.
Nice, GJ and way to slay ‘em! We were also out there on Saturday. Started troll around the 226, down to 302 then turned west out towards 230 and San Salvador Knoll. Not a single hit on madmacs.
Yeah it died after 10am. Not sure what time you were out there but we were in the same zone. Trolled for 4 more hours with no bites.
Turn off the clicker once your on lol 😅 slow down also
Haha yeah it's a bad habit. I'll get the clicker off next time.
What reels did you use ?
We were running a Penn Fathom 60, first gen and a Shimano speed master 16, which was a little light on line capacity for the task.
I don’t understand why people fight fish with boat in gear running- all they does is make it 10x harder to reel the fish in. Do you see any pro commercial bluefin fisherman do it? No, they actually back up on the fish.
My first time trying this method m it is weird, but it's very common with high speed trolling for wahoo and other pelagics. The jigs are heavy and apparently have a tendency to fall out of slack is in the line. Also the fish swim with the boat and you slowly crank em in until they get up and down.
BFT are notorious for swimming at the boat which causes slack line and spit hooks- keeping the boat in gear counters it.
Why they do that and to understand why’s it’s done is because your using the boat to stir the fish to you keeping his head coming to the boat and not allowing the tuna to get slack and into circling on its side .
You drive the boat down swell slow ahead in and out of gear and getting the fish along side the boat than gaffing said fish just makes it easier . On bigger tuna this works well unless you just want to fight it up and down possibly break off and your arms being sore for days … I fish smarter not harder ..
They back up on it on the east coast, ive never seen anyone back up on a bluefin here on the west coast.
@@BryanTimm I think the people who fish for them for a living know best? Not the average hack souther calif wanna be fisherman. So many kooks out here. Theres a time when to put the motor in gear and theres a time when you dont. Someone who knows what they're doing will have a guy on the motor and a guy on the fish....... hmmmmmmm, maybe like wicked tuna.... maybe they know something.......
Dude ... top video BUT keeping your boat in gear the entire time gave me anxiety 🤦♂️
Yeah I've learned I need to slow it way down! Thanks for watching! Next time going to just try bumping it in and out of gear.
@@SDKook all part of the game my brother .... gday from Australia by the way mate
Im looking forward to your up coming vids 🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙
Awesome! When was this?!
Saturday 4/22
@@SDKook Wow! Season is getting going!! How far offshore? Straight west?
West of the 302 about 10 miles. About 35 miles from shore. Get out there!
@@SDKook sick! I'm mobbing out on Sunday let me know if you want to buddy boat
@@chriscaicedo5907 I'm actually headed out tomorrow otherwise I would.
how fast do you troll the MM for BF ?
12 to 15 knots.
Good job lost another fish. Why don’t you motor up the boat some more. 👍👍🤪
Nice job guys✌🏻🤙🏻

Thanks!
NASCAR fishing
Grocery shopping on Steroids 😎😎
Freezer filler!
This 🤡 barking orders… slow it down , bump it up, move this rod somewhere else… bump it up more.. keep the boat straight…. Dude relax damn
I tend to get a little excited sometimes
@@SDKook dont listen to this dude lmao. That rod obviously needed to be moved and also bluefin come off on the troll all the time, so everything always needs to be perfect. this guy just jealous he couldn't get on the fish himself.
Stfu and enjoy the video Carrrrlllll
