Set ups:
20 lbs. Phenix PSW 808MH 8', Shimano Talica 8 II
30 lbs. Jigging World Ghost Hunter Popping Rod GHP 150 7'5", Shimano Talica 12II
50 lbs. United Composites Predator 7'6", Tiburon SST 8
Nice job with the video, no music and good editing.
Looks like the weather was good too, I subscribed.
We're heading out for the weekend on the Condor
Thanks very much! Fair weather and good luck!
This is the perfect size. I didn't like when we went after the 150 pounders. I got one, bit it really wasn't all that fun. This looked epic.
Cool video!👍🎣😎Thanks
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching and for your support!
can you recommend 3 setup to take on a trip?
Yes, definitely 30, 50, 80. For our trip 50 was the go to set up with a 120 gram Colt Sniper. 80 for bigger jigs 200 gram knife jigs. Get ready to do a lot of jigging. I saw they got big ones on the last trip. 130-170 lbs. Good luck and thanks for watching!
what boat you was on? I like the way they gilled BFT. San Diego?
The San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing, thanks for watching!
Couldn’t ask for a better day!
what's up with your rod guides?
My new rod that was acid or spiral wrapped. It’s supposed to be easier to fight fish since you’re not fighting to keep the rod upright. Although I haven’t got anything big on it yet. Thanks for watching!
Love the spiral-wrapped 1-piece bait rod. Mine is paired up with an Accurate for albacore. I'd love to come down to SD and do an off-shore charter for big yellow and blues. Awesome stuff. I've only got some live anchovie bites and swim bait bites up on albies on my channel.
They’re nice handling rods, although I haven’t caught anything big on it yet. It’s actually a two piece at the grip. Jigging World Ghost Hunter 100gram Popping Rod. I had it custom made conventional from Tackle World. I got it as a travel rod to take to Mexico. Oh man I miss albies. I haven’t caught one in decades. Thanks for watching!
Why is it so quiet on deck lol no one gave a shit about ol boys tuna but the decky giving out a high five
We’re too busy trying to get our own. We got 20 of them. Thanks for watching!
Great going on the Tuna. Looks like it was a great trip. Yeww 🤙🏻
It was so much fun! I never jigged fish for tuna before. This trip was all jigging! We had a lot of fishing time. Thanks for watching!
Looks flat out there. Was debating on taking my skiff out but I kept hearing the winds been up.
There only 30-40 miles out there. Look at Windy.com and plan from there. Thanks for watching!
had the BFT to 270lbs here in Northern California(Monterey bay) last fall but there seem to only hit Nomads and Live mackerel up here.
Nomads trolling lures? Nice thanks for watching!
@@fishermen22 The nomad madmac is a high speed trolling lure that can handle a big BFT slam and run. They come in several sizes for the size of the tuna. Expensive but very effective
Just curious where did you get thumb guard the one you're using?
It’s an upside down spin casting finger guard. I got it from Jensen’s in Cabo. Thanks for watching!
Set ups?
Thanks for the reminder!

I put it in the description for everyone, thanks again!
@@fishermen22 I know this is an old video, but curious as to why you used the Ghost Hunter Popping rod as conventional and how it's working out. I'm asking cause I want to wrap the same blank as a conventional due to two piece construction for portability, which is important for me.
@@bpark3538 I love that rod, it's my favorite conventional rod. I needed a two piece boat rod for México. Jigging World or Tackleworld used to make a conventional Ghost Hunter 7.5 ft spiral wrapped rod but they discontinued them. I called Tackleworld about it, and they said they can custom built one for me instead. I built it like the stock spinning rods, but with a Fuji trigger reel seat and spiral wrapped. From now on, I'm going to order all my conventional rods like that. I'll try to make a video about it. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
I found it on Amazon, Hmmm looks available.

You shouldn't do this bro, it's a season of reproduction (MAY=>AUGUST)
I didn’t catch anything. Yes, I killed a few sardines, but we also released hundreds in contrast. If I did catch one, then that fish would have served many people. I don’t waste a thing.
This fishery is tightly regulated and is sustainable. We only have a two fish limit and I haven’t killed a bluefin in years my friend. If it wasn’t sustainable, then the Department of Fish and Game would definitely pose more restrictions on the fishery similar to the east coast. The DFG is fully aware of the situation so don’t worry. Thanks for watching!
You shouldn't watch sportfishing
@@fishermen22 “the fishery is tightly regulated” lol
What was the fish count?
20 bluefin 30-80 lbs. with several lost. Thanks for watching!
What weight class tuna is that?
They were all nice fish. I would guess at 30-60 lbs. Thanks for watching!
That’s some good teamwork on those tangles
The deckhands are so good at their job! I remember times before when they would cut your line. Thanks for watching!
This was an awesome day on the water.
This was one of the best days ever! 3/4 day trip fishing for big bluefin. It really doesn't get any better than that! Thanks for watching.
@@fishermen22 yes it really was a great day. 3/4 day bluefin of that grade is definitely something to experience.
Great video coverage! Had a blast!
What do you think you could’ve done better?
Pay closer attention to the reports. I want to kick myself for not having a 120 gram blue and gold sniper (candy iwashi) that I saw in a West Coast Jiggerz posting before I went. They wouldn’t touch a 100 gram Katy Perry. Next time I’ll do more research and take my trip more seriously. Thanks for watching!
Same here threw the 100 gr katy perry they didn’t want. Finally hooked up on 100 gr striped glow zakana
How far out are the tuna usually in April? 60-70 miles?
This is a 7 to 7 trip so they were around 30 to 40 miles out. Thanks for watching!
How much is that Trip ?
This one was $120. They raised the price 100% to $240 errrrrrr
@@fishermen22 heck too expensive
How long was this trip?
If I recall, it was 6 to 8 or so. They stayed out longer.

Looks fun but first thing that comes to mind is it looks like a cluster FK with all the lines crossing it each other, people squeezing in to get their rod through, etc. This video was very informative, as now I know I’ll stay away from these type of trips 😂
My thoughts exactly!
I honestly don't get how people can just fish Bluefin Tuna knowing it's so endangered. So irresponsible of people to overfish/overhunt animals until endangerment and sometimes extinction.
If you haven’t been, then you’re really missing out. It is all regulated with fish and game. There’s a two fish limit in contrast to before. Rod and reel fishing is completely sustainable. So far, we haven’t seen a reduction in population and it’s been over 5 years since bluefin have made a comeback. If it was a problem, don’t you think Sea Shepherd would be here protesting? Sportfishing is a far cry from commercial fishing. Especially if you look down south to other countries who have no regulations at all. Thanks for watching.
Ignorant statement. Sportfishing tuna in the US compared to Japan's commercial fishery is like thinking saving water while brushing your teeth will have any real impact on the drought and water conservation.
Pacific bluefin arent endangered
Other than colt snipers, what other jigs were producing?
What was the max leader lb test that was getting bit? Were heavy 200lb leaders get bit at all?
200 g knife jig Katy Perry with spots, Daiwa Zakana that looks like an anchovy. They wouldn’t touch the stripped glow ones although a 300 g knife jig got one. No heavy leaders, it was a daytime bite. Thanks for watching!
