So much fun to watch!! Great crew and team work. My heart was ready to jump out of my chest when Timmy was fighting the fish and Zach was holding on to him.
That’s so cool seeing them on the surface! Nice job reaper really like the video keep them coming!!! I’m currently getting my stuff ready for the canyon season I fish out of cape May see you out on the water!
Nice work! I miss the days of running on the Ocean 58’ factory boat out of Farley. That was an epic day of fishing. I bet everyone slept well that night
Thanks for watching Pete. That's awesome you got to fish a 58!!! We were all exhausted but I always have fresh sashimi the day of the trip no matter how exhausted!
Nice job, once I had the chance to throw a popper at some big bluefin breaking water in Massachusetts. I did not hook up but it was still one of the best moments of my life. Epic trip catching that one on a popper!
That was awesome, I just traded in my old boat for a bigger one, 25 ft Sea Hunt Game Fisher , fully hooked up, out riggers, Garmin 5212 chart plotter, sonar, radar. Did one trip out already out of my home port of Cape May NJ, nothing, not even a bite! I screwed up though, forgot to get the Bally ho! Won't do that again!
Hey I know it was last year but do you remember what size slammer he was using with the plug? I just put a 8500 on a 150 gram Ghost Hunter and wondering if that will be big enough for 100 - 150 lb tuna

For me it's not about the meat. Or the cost of the meat. Honestly money never even comes into my thought process. I just love it. Couldn't imagine my life without it
Thanks for watching Stewart. I try to keep them to around that, but I had so much good footage for this one. Should I break them up into part 1 and 2 or just get to all the highlights??
Reaper Fishing NJ I’m a highlight man myself.. maybe incorporate some of your tried and true techniques in here and there in the video or explain what spread you have out and then let the screaming reels do the rest of the explaining.. great local videos nonetheless. I’m just north of you out of LEI.

And I'll be targeting April yellowfin off of NC. Id also love to come up and take a trip with you someday if this corona crap ever goes away
Ah just read down in the comments that it was a 5500. That says a lot about the Slammer. I should be golden with the 8500 🤙
Yea man you'll be good. Good luck
Thats awesome man!!!
Thanks so much!
great video! what your fuel burn on max cruise?
It's not as efficient as we had thought when we bought her. Only about 0.6-0.8 mpg or so.
Nice catch Captian!!!! what is the size limit bluefin??

Badass

Are you a charter for hire or just personal fishing?
just personal fishing
Damn that’s crazy
What Size Slammer was that?
Scott Buchmayr 5500! 65lb braid, was almost outgunned
✌️
How do you make money if your letting go more than you catch
Limit one per boat dressed out time and money spent on fuel bait ice that tuna probably came out to 65$ a pound

Always watch your videos.. just need them to max out at about 15 mins. Lots of double tapping the screen to scroll through.
