The overfishing of bluefin tuna was covered extensively but it's quite amazing to see how the recovery of the bluefin tuna gets almost no airtime! Their population has rebounded substantially in the last few years.
Living and fishing(for pleasure/ food) in South Devon it has been a joy to watch these magnificent creatures return to our waters over the last 10 yrs. Let us pray that commercial interests do not destroy this amazing recovery and it remains a spectacle for generations to come. We can live in hope.
@@donframeli9855if people were aware of Gods gifts, they wouldnt liquidate life for cash. Go against natural law, is to go against god. The only reason for food shortages is due to evil people, so yes. He has everything to do with the current mindset. Cheers
I saw with my own eyes this amazing nature spectacle: I was trolling offshore with my father and we saw something astonishing: we heard a water noise at first, then we turned and we saw what seemed a silver chinese dragon coming out from water and re entering the water, up and down, off and in like a single creature made of...I can't even imagine how many needlefish. Then came the silence and after few seconds the water exploded with many tunas hunting. It was as if time had stopped for a while.
That sense of time stopping was you becoming fully present. You weren't lost in the incessant thought stream like we are all conditioned to be, we are in our heads all day long, we let thoughts define our experience but we never become curious about what a thought is made of. You were 100% fully logged into the visual field, the sounds, the sensations of the body etc. Wonderful and thankyou for sharing ❤
Congratulations for the topwater tuna eats and blow ups. These fishes are really fast and it's almost imposible to see the attack even if they are feeding near to you. To catch this 1 second attack moment and récord with this quality is an amazing job and a gift for everyone. Thanks for publishing this awesome experience 😀❤👌👌👌
I think every attack, from what I saw, the blue fin came up empty. Seemed every time, the target was knocked away. Beautiful creatures, awesome footage!
Ever catch and release a Garfish? I have, they’re very fragile. I believe the ones you saw stunned were actually dead and eaten later. So maybe the Bluefin’s hunting tactics are similar to the Orca’s where it’s a two part plan?
@@rjo8500 No, not much of a fisherman, and good point about the stunning, I know that an orca hit me hard enough, they could probably eat me before I was re-awake, not that they would need to stun us to eat us.
@@rjo8500 From the video, you can see garfish at times make several leaps out of the water to avoid a persistent tuna. Re cetaceans, I know of dolphins swimming into shoals and giving the fish a good whack with their tail to stun them - before picking them off easily. Then, I've heard of orca headbutting great whites, flipping them over for tonic immobility purposes and then drowning them and feasting on their livers. But these tuna were chasing a fleeing target matching their speed and moving in the same direction. With no head-on collisions (orca) or tail-whacking (dolphins) on display. So I'd have to say it was what it clearly appeared to be, a largely inefficient way of catching a potential prey item that didn't seem to want to stay in the hunter's mouth. I'm fairly sure none of them got caught in the video (though I'm sure they have to catch some this way or they'd soon give up, presumably). Maybe greedy tuna hunt all small fish that flee from them (a true predatory instinct). They may always pursue garfish as a result of not caring too much about the species they chase. And garfish may just possibly be more than a match for them. At least over short distances. Tuna will have far better stamina, I'd have to assume, on the other hand. It's just weird the video didn't clearly show a single successful meal. It's an evolutionary arms race out there. The tuna were swimming for a meal whilst the plucky garfish were swimming for their lives. #ZenAndTheArtOfSavingLifeOnEarth
When you think that bluefin tuna were on the brink of exinction in the North Atlantic for almost three decades... What a marvelous success story their protection is !
maybe they should stop sending tourist helicopters and cruises and smaller boats to both the arctic and the antarctic (in the case of penguins). @@joedennehy386

@@Kavaindia In this case tuna are using a technique where they crash into the shoals & then eat the disabled. Not politically correct but naturally effective !
I am completely stunned by the sheer size of the TUNA! Although they look rather clumsy flying from the water, what they lack in grace they make up in their massive POWER and what appears to be tireless stamina and strength! I think the best bet for a garfish in that pod would be a quick change of direction with a sudden and unobvious veering off in a different heading! It might then have a chance of escape. Great video, it fills my mind with the possibilities that present themselves in a life under the sea. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
incredible clips. I know how much difficult it is to capture without seeing what happens under surface of water. Admirations for the time spent and hardwork.
Absolutely stunning! No matter how many wildlife films I see there is always something I haven't seen before! It's just sad that this Bluefin is surely hunted just as rapaciously as he is hunting these Garfish. In 2023 a 463lb Bluefin sold for 275,000 dollars in Japan. So seeing these miracles has become more rare than ever.
That is the most amazing footage off the UK i have ever seen in my life. I have books showing Big Game Fishing off Whitby in the 1920's and 1930's for them, but to see them back like that is simply wonderful. You cannot tell me Great White Sharks do not visit our waters, this just backs that too. Thanks for sharing this footage.
@JH-ck1nr Do you think the tuna in the 20's/30's would have been feeding on the huge herring shoals that used to be on the east coast? I like to add my props too - as others have said, once in a lifetime witness.
@@mattydare Yes, they vanished with the herring shoals. I am a life long scuba diver and this is why i love the seas and oceans, wonder and mystery. Thanks again.
So accustomed to only seeing Sharks, Dolphins and Whales breaching...this is simply amazing to see! Kudos to the Camera team for capturing this in spectacular fashion....yaayyy!! 🤩🤩
Yep its to bad that was the last time that tuna will be seen breaching the surface, about an hour after this it was posing hanging upside down from the winch of one of those trawlers in the area!
Cant help but feel bad for Tuna missing a lot of attempts, still what a powerful and majestic fish, this 2min video made me feel much better and relaxed somehow, thanks!
Don't worry, these guys "get theirs". A nice big bluefin like this literally has 15-20lbs of belly fat, which is the tastiest sushi on planet earth. It's called "toro"; japanese for "fatty bluefin tuna belly". It's unbelievably delicious. Anyway - the point is these big boys don't go hungry - even if they miss a few shots.
Beautiful sight. We have massive breeding grounds in South Australia and it’s not difficult to find massive tuna, but I’m very happy to see them in your waters
What an absolutely stunning piece of video footage. We are down in Falmouth soon and will be looking out for these stunning fish. Awesome. Thanks for posting.
wow - this is amazing footage. Easy to see how "flying fish" evolved! Congratulations on "catching" these beautiful fish in all their glory and thank you for sharing.
An amazing sight that this lad originally from South Devon finds positive for the future just as long as they escape the over-fishing from our neighbours beyond UK shores.
❤absolutely amazing footage and action. I spent many of my formative years windsurfing off the coast of S Devon. I saw basking sharks, orca, oceanic sunfish, but never never imagined for a minute that giant bluefin would also be around. Incredible … and brilliant coverage !
They have been absent from British waters for a significant time cup cake, after the original fishery was decimated , so for it again to be just hammered would be a bit ignorant and short sighted in fisheries management terms , is that not reasonable tinkerbell.@@deletebilderberg ok a quick edit , just appeared on BBC a massive Blue Fin washed up dead, now as it had no predator damage (few things tackle a adult tuna that's healthy) that would highly suggest it died from from disease or stress, so it will be interesting to watch if those making making money out of the fish have the gumption to care correctly on recreational charters when it comes to proper catch and release , and that the release of a massive tired out fish could see them so stressed their hearts collapse and they just drown from muscle stress by just been unhooked and let go too early before proper recovery is that too much to ask.
Incredible footage, and fantastic production quality. Never landed a GIANT, but have fished tuna a lot - they're absolutely incredible animals. Their power is beyond description, and their endurance even greater. Truly awe inspiring.
🤔 ummm I watched every tuna you captured on film run at the gar fish and knock them out of the water stunned them and eat em or just str8 up swallowed them in mid air
A couple of years ago I was kayaking in Grande Harvre Bay Guernsey and the same thing happened, Tuna chasing a mass of Garfish. I didn't see the Tuna but I did see the water errupt like a depth charge going off. I paddled out to a fisherman who was in the area at the time and he reckoned the Tuna were as big as his boat.
I have to agree, a fantastic film. It didn't look as if the tuna actually caught one, but maybe he got it once it fell back into the ocean. Thank you for this.
You know the video is gonna be good when they got the meditative piano theme music and then start in with the strings 😂 Aweosme footage, what an incredible fish!
Absolutely outstanding footage, great capture. I fish for these in Western Australia. Having fished UK for many years when I was a youngster, I'd never would have thought you would find these off UK coast. Brilliant.
@@dougdavis8986 the he'll they are. Healthy just recently set the world record on a blue fin at nearly 1500 lb. The population of bluefin has recovered dramatically in The Last 5 Years
Did any jumping tuna actually get a baitfish in its mouth? In this video seems like the tuna are playing at scaring the baitfish to death! As the tuna reaches the maximum height of its jump, a baitfish is seen "flying" above the tuna.
@@cougar1861 Hm. Thinking back on it, I'm not sure. Remember that it seemed ineffective hunting, especially as the garfish they were hunting were only 30cm long. But then again, I was more concerned with not getting knocked out of the kayak.
Indeed. In this footage - their are at LEAST two giants. Having fished for these guys quite a bit - when you find a school of "horse mackerel"; they're thick as thieves.
It's illegal to kill. 25 boats have taken part in the CHART programme electronically tagging and releasing all fish caught for CEFAS in order to study their comeback. Conservation will be the priority.
@@westlakedon Thanks for the reply! This is awesome, such a powerful predator, but also beautiful in its power. I hope next time i'm surfing down in South Devon i'll get to see one one day.
What an incredible sight man, how many metres did you reckon they were from the shore and how deep would the water have been? It looked like a lot of missed strikes from the tuna, did you see many successful captures of the garfish?
I never thought I would see these creatures back in UK waters in my lifetime. Is this a result of global warming or simply tuna have to travel further to find food?
Tuna have always been in UK waters. They were here in abundance 70 years ago and got over fished, a ban was put in place 50 odd years ago. They have been back here in numbers for the last 7/8 years, so much so they are having a big effect on mackerel numbers.
Isn’t everything that’s wrong due to climate change. My underwear didn’t come clean from the washing machine the other day, you guessed it, climate change!
A great video I actually witnessed something similar in 1993 a couple of hundred yards from the shore of Aberwrystwyth chasing mackerel. They used to be very common around the whole coast of the UK until the vast herring schoals were greatly depleted which was their main source of food but the herring have increased in vast numbers hence the return of the bluefin tuna. We now need the mackerel to be protected before the same happens to them and go the way that the herring went. We need to stop the over fishing of these and other essential fish species and the taking of small immature fish, that have no chance of breeding and replenishing fish stocks, and using them as fertiliser oh well rant over, and great to see the return of this magnificent fish.
@@paulgibbons2320 They really are. The individual size overall has dropped in the Atlantic stocks. It is for sure over fishing in winter by the international supertrawlers. Tick tock for Mackies.
Really nice. I hope these views encourage the govt to protect these fish for fish watching rather than sushi. Tuna don’t need to be sandwiched or sushied.
In UK waters it is illegal to kill or land Atlantic Blue Fin but it is legal for commercial angling boats to catch and release them, tagged. I wonder if any have been caught or found since tagging began (?)
Wonderful footage, cant thank you enough for sharing. I never thought to see the return of Blue Fin in my life time, but to be able to see them hunting like this even if only second hand is quite stunning.Ok I am off to watch it again.
This reminds me of some years ago; I was making a custom outfit for Akuma in Tekken 7, and I used the tuna back accessory. My Girlfriend at the time asked me what was up with that, and I said... "The tuna evokes power" This video is now my go-to explanation of that statement.
Those Tuna are beasts. It always shocks me how big Tuna get to. Tuna look like a prehistoric fish akin to Piranha. I like to eat Tuna but when you see them in the wild it feels wrong to catch such magnificent creatures for food.
Wow what a great video incredible. My Father can remember Tunney fishing out of Scarborough. I hope that never returns but I would welcome the return of the tuna. Fabulous.

@@dougdavis8986 the he'll they are. Healthy just recently set the world record on a blue fin at nearly 1500 lb. The population of bluefin has recovered dramatically in The Last 5 Years
the ocean is dying. There used to be huge bait balls in Puget sound. Not any more. This is stunning
They're such beautiful animals. They deserve to be protected from us
Absolutely!!!
First time seeing that fish in its natural environment and feeding. Great work. Love it
Experienced this from my kayak from maybe 20m away in 6m deep (!) water in the Mediterranean. Was both scary and amazing.
Did any jumping tuna actually get a baitfish in its mouth? In this video seems like the tuna are playing at scaring the baitfish to death! As the tuna reaches the maximum height of its jump, a baitfish is seen "flying" above the tuna.
@@cougar1861 Hm. Thinking back on it, I'm not sure. Remember that it seemed ineffective hunting, especially as the garfish they were hunting were only 30cm long. But then again, I was more concerned with not getting knocked out of the kayak.
@@henrikbergman4055 Thanks. Yes the video was quite exciting. I can't imagine being at the scene ... in a kayak!
Awesome video! What an experience! I hope you go back again and will see this again. Thank you for sharing the video.
Awesome stuff man. I'm gonna be photographing tuna next week on a boat down in cornwall !
Can't wait 😁
Nice, hope you seen them and get some gnarly shots!
Gorgeous! Thanks for capturing this on film and sharing!
Superb video footage. Thank you for sharing. Such magnificent fish.
Remarkable footage and beautifully shot and edited too, Bravo!
Great video, enjoyed it. Didn't know tuna were that big ? Well done 👍
They get HUGE
These were likely 600-700lb but they get up to 1200+
Wow ! I didn’t know tuna will jump out of the water like. What a beast.
Great shot.
Indeed. These guys are top-tier athletes with nothing on their mind other than feeding. They're GREAT at it.
This an amazing video. Unbelieveable fish for UK waters.
What a majestic fish. Great footage.
Absolutely brilliant camerawork Henry. What an amazing sight and long may it continue.
Thanks Richard :)
People think of tuna as just something we eat but they are INCREDIBLE predators. This one is magnificent!!!
Indeed. In this footage - their are at LEAST two giants. Having fished for these guys quite a bit - when you find a school of "horse mackerel"; they're thick as thieves.
Brilliant video respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 👏
This is awesome! I hope Devon / UK start immediately the protection of these, and make it illegal to catch.
It's illegal to kill. 25 boats have taken part in the CHART programme electronically tagging and releasing all fish caught for CEFAS in order to study their comeback. Conservation will be the priority.
@@westlakedon Thanks for the reply! This is awesome, such a powerful predator, but also beautiful in its power. I hope next time i'm surfing down in South Devon i'll get to see one one day.
One of the most amazing things to see in nature good stuff!!
What an incredible sight man, how many metres did you reckon they were from the shore and how deep would the water have been? It looked like a lot of missed strikes from the tuna, did you see many successful captures of the garfish?
SPECTACULAR FOOTAGE!!!!
BEAUTIFUL!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
I never thought I would see these creatures back in UK waters in my lifetime. Is this a result of global warming or simply tuna have to travel further to find food?
Tuna have always been in UK waters. They were here in abundance 70 years ago and got over fished, a ban was put in place 50 odd years ago. They have been back here in numbers for the last 7/8 years, so much so they are having a big effect on mackerel numbers.
Global warming 😂
Sadly enjoy them while they there, they on their way out wld be surprised to see them extinct in 50 yrs the way we raping our oceans
Isn’t everything that’s wrong due to climate change. My underwear didn’t come clean from the washing machine the other day, you guessed it, climate change!
Global warming 😂😂😂😂
Turn off your tv and get a life.
A great video I actually witnessed something similar in 1993 a couple of hundred yards from the shore of Aberwrystwyth chasing mackerel. They used to be very common around the whole coast of the UK until the vast herring schoals were greatly depleted which was their main source of food but the herring have increased in vast numbers hence the return of the bluefin tuna. We now need the mackerel to be protected before the same happens to them and go the way that the herring went. We need to stop the over fishing of these and other essential fish species and the taking of small immature fish, that have no chance of breeding and replenishing fish stocks, and using them as fertiliser oh well rant over, and great to see the return of this magnificent fish.
Mackerel are in no danger at all. They are not in danger.
Facts. 🤔
@@paulgibbons2320 They really are. The individual size overall has dropped in the Atlantic stocks. It is for sure over fishing in winter by the international supertrawlers. Tick tock for Mackies.
@@nospoon4799 the over size trawlers are a problem for sure.
One of the most beautiful fish on this planet. They are majestic, powerful, streamlined, and they are like perfection as a predator.
Really nice. I hope these views encourage the govt to protect these fish for fish watching rather than sushi. Tuna don’t need to be sandwiched or sushied.
In UK waters it is illegal to kill or land Atlantic Blue Fin but it is legal for commercial angling boats to catch and release them, tagged. I wonder if any have been caught or found since tagging began (?)
Wonderful footage, cant thank you enough for sharing. I never thought to see the return of Blue Fin in my life time, but to be able to see them hunting like this even if only second hand is quite stunning.Ok I am off to watch it again.
Haha cheers David
Definitely got 'em on the run , incredible footage , I've never seen this before , awesome !!!
Wow! Absolutely insane footage 🔥
Cheers Marc!
Great to see some giant Bluefin are still left in the world..
Giant blues are doing just fine
Hermosos peces pura vida
This reminds me of some years ago; I was making a custom outfit for Akuma in Tekken 7, and I used the tuna back accessory.
My Girlfriend at the time asked me what was up with that, and I said...
"The tuna evokes power"
This video is now my go-to explanation of that statement.
Those Tuna are beasts. It always shocks me how big Tuna get to. Tuna look like a prehistoric fish akin to Piranha. I like to eat Tuna but when you see them in the wild it feels wrong to catch such magnificent creatures for food.
Wow what a great video incredible. My Father can remember Tunney fishing out of Scarborough. I hope that never returns but I would welcome the return of the tuna. Fabulous.
You shouldn't show this the bloody french will be there stealing them.
Tuna is a terminator shark here, great footage.
