- I got a call that bluefin tuna were VERY close to Oceanside harbor last week, and was able to get out there and cast surface jigs at boiling tuna. I was able to hook two, but unfortunately today was not my lucky day and I ended up pulling the hook on both fish close to the boat. A very awesome but also frustrating day on the water. At least my gas bill was small! The fish were only 3 to 5 miles from shore, never seen anything like that!

Amazing. So many years of a tuna desert between the harbor and the banks (43/181/182 etc) and now this.
Hopefully it sticks around!
Better to have tugged, than never tugged at all. Great job still!
So true!
That’s tuna fishing as you know.. that was a heart breaker. You hit it right into he head that’s absolutely what keeps us coming back for more! Tight lines you’ll get them next time
Just more motivation! 😂
have a good day man! i will be waiting for the invite ;D lol jk enjoy your summer and i will be waiting for the new video!
Pulled hook sucks 😞 but I like how you left the cuss words in, let’s me relate easier 🤣. Sick video smart captain!🤙🏽🤙🏽
This Vdo challenges the old saying, a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work.😮😢😅😊❤🙏💪🌎🌏🌍❤️🇺🇸🖖
Still better 😄
I remember as a kid catching bonito off the Ocenside pier. There were huge schools and we caught all we wanted to.
Redemption will be so SWEET !!! 😎
It always is!!
that BF kicked butt!
Using straight braid? I always use a mono top-shot, for the close to the boat cushion...success is the result of all the little details done correctly.
Yep.. the frustrating part is that I NEVER use straight braid. I always put 100ft or so of top shot. I just haven't had a chance to swap out some braid since I won it in a raffle a couple weeks back.
Love having some cushion of mono especially when the fight comes close to the surface. Also, you can tell how much heat you're putting on the fish from the "piano string" sounds :)
so sick regardless! I probably got out of the water about 3 hours prior to you hopping on. really liking those instant 360 cameras!
Oh nice! Did you have any luck out there?
Saw you in the harbor yesterday. Still a good trip. Good to at least find the fish, better to pull on one. Always better to be out there. Love your videos, Will subscribe.
Definitely! Good to see you the other day. Nice work on the YFT! I didn't find em that day.
You need to size up so you can crank them in fast!
You were under gunned for anything over 45-50 pounds.
My experience with medium to larger tuna is to keep the boat moving forward at idle speed. this prevents the fish from turning their head and planes them up to the surface. Maintains constant tension on the line reducing the fight time to 10-15 minutes. Give it a try next time!
.
That's a good call for trolling never thought about doing it while casting! Yeah I usually like 40lb on my jig stick
Blessed be his Holy Name
😎KOOL🤙
Nice try! Can't get them all! Get back out there! Next time!
Headed out tomorrow to redeem myself! 😂
Get‘em tomorrow with the boys. Hopefully the wind stays down.
We'll see, I think it's supposed to improve throughout the day.
nice video - captain. nice try.... atleast you got a bite.... i'm still waiting for foamer. lol
Thanks! Yeah finding them is half the battle.
I out HD 3/0 owner and Gamakatsu trebles on my 100 and 130 grand and 1/0 on the 80’s. They don’t bend out and hold really well
Definitely going to be doing that religiously from now on. I usually do, but for some reason that one was still stock.
Can you comment on your camera setup? Very impressive video coverage when solo!
.
I use the insta360 x3 camera. It's a fun cam!
Hey bro what size is your boat I see that 150 yamaha I was thinking about downsizing I never run over 25mpg on the salt
It's a 22ft LOA and holds 105gal gas. I'm typically getting around 3 miles to the gallon
Need to hit up Oceanside! Looks like it’s a good bite out there! Any recs on charter boats around there?
I've done the Chubasco II before. I also love the fisherman 3 which is now out of Oside.
Yo love your videos what set ups are u using? getting into fishing
Thanks! I am kind of all over the place with my gear. Testing all the brands figuring out what my next set will be. For you I'd highly recommend going with a Penn Fathom 25. Great all around reel that outperforms reels much more expensive. I also really like the 25 to 60lb Phenix axis rod. More expensive, but built very well for the price and a great rod that you'll have for a long time. Hope that helps!
You make me sick.
Heading out at the crack of noon to frothy boilers.
Why we'd head out at midnight to be on the spot at daybreak and still get a boat ride.
Thirty years ago I did hook up a Big Eye on the half day cattle boat.
Had it to the gaff and my brother getting spooled on light tackle cut me off.
Just like your fish. Right at the gaff and the deckhand said he needs Two gaffs for the trolling fish.
I heard my brother coming down the rail and I could have free spooled so both lines ran together but I was tired. So tired. So I kept the fish at color and waited for a gaff that never came.
My bros line touched mine and cut it like a band saw.
The fish was on the surface exhausted with my trolling lure right there. I could have dived in and grabbed it.
But I didn't. It looked up at me with it's Big Eye as if to say WOW that was close. Then it flicked it's tail and was gone.
I was spent. Hands shaking I tied on something while actually wondering if I could survive another hook up.
Hunny pounders like depth charges going off on the surface. Old guys fighting over lively bait. Nothing but the sound of twenty drags screaming and lines exploding Pow! Pow! Yelling, grunting, cursing.
Little kid with the Zebco crying in fear.
After all the mayhem was over there's one old guy still hooked up on the bow.
Undergunned on big spinning tackle.
It went for a long time until half the people wanted to cut his line.
Frayed shredded monofilament was coming off the top guide.
They should have chased it with the boat but they didn't and he didn't have the backbone in the rod to drag a hundred pounds.
So it finally got away.
No Big Eye were landed.
It was glorious! Epic!
Maybe better than the day I got my Marlin. Maybe.
You can always pay big money for big fish but monsters near home are special.
Thanks for bringing back those memories and I am half glad that fish got away.
Epic story! I need to chase my Marlin too. It makes for a good story every time... the one that got away! 😂
what size and year is your striper ?
It's a 2004, 2101 length. 21.5ft LOA
Win some, lose some. I am waiting on my first up in NorCal 🤞
They're up there! Good luck!
You can go heavier than 30# when fishing jigs, its a reaction bite. They dont care about heavy line the fish is reacting to the lure. Sorry you lost him , you will get it next time.
Yeah, I spoiled it with 40 mono top shot. I'll probably keep it as a jig stick/ bait stick. The rod is fairly light 20 to 40.
nic! pro-tip : put other rods away in rocket launchers on t-top so u can cast unobstructed
Totally I was out of control with all the rods haha
Damn bro...atleast your on the water.. better luck next time...
Thanks! Yeah it happens! I'll get it next time
Your pulling because your angle and high tipping the rod
Sucks hope you get the next one
😮 u should have edited that out
Good job 💯👏👏👏 you need help?
The back ground music is a downer
It's better than the baby shark song
Damn! Gutted. I wanted to see it hit the deck.
Me too... probably 40lb fish. Maybe slightly larger. The camera never does it justice.
Lol. Really farmed that one… dont you know you are suppose to swap colt sniper hooks🤣🤣
