Lol bluefin are definitely assholes for sure. No need to sugar coat it! When they’re picky, just gotta fish and fish hard. Figure out the pattern, figure out what they want and you can be rewarded. They’re not my preferred fish the target, but it’s definitely rewarding everytime I’m able to land one!
Barely seeing this comment sorry for the late response. Yeah man Danny definitely got the job done that day! All of those fights were long battles but everyone was able to get it done
My first trip out with Offswitch and definitely not my last! Lots of firsts this day my first bft and first 100+lb tuna. Great group of fisherman! Thank you Ray for letting me relive the stoke, I swear I yelled out loud again in my truck watching my fish getting gaffed. Gotta do it again soon 🤙 😁
It’s why I do it man! Always super cool to be able to look back on trips like this. Glad you were able to get a big one and also alittle jealous lol. We’ll definitely have to do it again soon!
Here in SoCal we have more issues with sea lions than sharks. Occasionally a big mako shark will find us, and we’ll lose a fish or 2. But not too often
Thanks really appreciate that! My go to connection knot for braid to mono is the RP knot (Royal Polaris knot). For mono to flouro I really like the uni to uni knot
First off, that was nicely done on the 4/0 by Danny (I think that was his name). Second, did you get a talica? Also, on your sinker rig, do you fly line a bait first and then rubber band a sinker on or did it just slide up the line? I noticed you still had like 60 yds of line out when they cut the sinker off.
I’ve had a talica for acouple years now, just never had the opportunity to use it. I bring it on all of my tuna trips though. With the sinker rig, you rubber bad the sinker to the flouro connection knot so it’s only about 4-6ft of leader to your sinker. As you fight the fish it slowly makes its way up the line though.
When I got my 100 we got 41 of em.....in 2hrs....that's over 2 tons of blufin.......gnarly af......can't wait for thus yr........tite lines n charp hooks 🪝
That’s rad man. Some of those night bites when you have a shot at hooking them on 150-250 lb test can be insane fishing! Hoping to see that for the first time this season!
I'm pretty new to surface iron fishing (and fishing in general) but I started going deep sea fishing with my uncle's this year. I've been using their old rods with spinning reel. What setup would you recommend for a beginner? I suck with baitcasters and conventional reels lol
For a beginner, I would recommend starting off with a Lexa 400, komodo 400, or fathom 400. All 3 are baitcasters, but if you tension the spool really tight from the start and loosen it up as you get more and more comfortable you’ll be fine. I was really nervous to cast conventional and baitcasters myself and I got a Daiwa Lexa 400 a few years back and now I can cast conventional no problem
For these 100+ lb fish you you’ll want a rod rated for 60lb and up. Most of us were using 50lb sinker rigs thinking we were on a school of 50lb tuna which wasn’t ideal. It got the job done, but if you’re targeting 100-200 lb fish, you’ll want a 80-120 lb rail rod
@@gillzonreelz6549 I personally don’t know which boats are good out of the Long Beach area. I’m from Ventura county. Mainly fish out of Channel Islands sportfishing and San Diego
dude, the guy that was fighting the fish at 5:37 was on the boat i was on when i caught my 19 lb yellowtail and he gave me tons of tips he’s a nice guy
just gave me terrible anxiety chasing that thing around the boat sit in one spot when hes close and circling.. line might be at an angle but you moving after him makes it worse
@@lundy93a usually that would be the case, but if I had stayed in a single spot for this scenario either I would’ve been sawed off by the guy fighting the fish next to me or the I would’ve sawed his fish off. We move when we have to and work together. If nobody is working together, nobody would land a fish
If I remember correctly, I don’t believe we had any tangles on fish on this trip. Everyone worked together really well this trip. Nobody really had to say “coming down”, “under”, “over” too much. Everyone stepped back, lifting rods way before someone fighting a fish even got to them. Honestly great team effort this trip and best case scenario with all these bigger fish!
This video was from a year ago when masks were required everywhere, including on sport boats. Most of the boats would say you can take them off after we board, but some of the people would still wear them
Love the pride , great capt and cool crew...
Definitely a great program ran on the Pride. Never had a bad experience with them
Props to the guys on the OG gear!! 🤙🤙❤️
Still getting it done!
Really like your stretches of no
commentary followed by real
commentary when near or landing
of fish.
Yeah that’s kinda how I do things because I suck at talking about what I did to get my bites. Trying to get better at it though!
A trip I'll never forget. It was a pleasure fishing with you Ray! Can't wait to do it again.
Definitely a trip none of us will ever forget! Good job out there Marcus. We’ll get out there again soon
One of my Favorite boats and Captians. Jason knows what's up.
Jason definitely gets on them!
That's putting the wood to em, good job on your bluefin. They are the most cantankerous beasts I have ever come across. Tight lines!

That was a awesome trip! Wow that last fish on the Baja Special was tough!!!
Hey got it done and put the wood to it! Definitely an awesome trip
With all the fish and blood in the water, are there not any sharks around looking to steal a meal?
Here in SoCal we have more issues with sea lions than sharks. Occasionally a big mako shark will find us, and we’ll lose a fish or 2.
But not too often
If that would have been a couple day trip, the night bite on Jigs would have probably been even more insane. Nice trip man.
Right! Even the sun down bite would’ve been absolutely insane!
Still crazy to think that was a full day trip!
Great Video as always Ray! 👍👍🤘
Thanks Danny! Much appreciated
Another epic bluefin video. Love it man🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you really appreciate that!
Congrats. I caught a 177 lbs BFT 10 days ago. I’m still pumped. Just made a huge sushi & seared Ahi dinner tonight. Enjoy those fish.
That’s so awesome! Congratulations!
REALLY NICE CATCHES
Very quality models for a full day!
Went on a full day trip on the Pride, 7/5/21 we all caught bluefin tuna and had a fantastic trip.
That’s awesome congrats on that!
Glad to be on that trip
Definitely was an awesome trip! Good job out there man!
WOW!!! EPIC VIDEO!!!!!!!
Such an epic day! I can’t believe how good the bite was for a full day trip!
Insane action!! Hey could you shhot me in the right direction on how you tie on your surface irons, do you tie near the weld?
SD jam rite next to weld on either side of it 🤙
Yep I tie mine the same way as Christopher just mentioned
This was so fricking entertaining. What braid to mono knot were you using on these fish?
Thanks really appreciate that! My go to connection knot for braid to mono is the RP knot (Royal Polaris knot). For mono to flouro I really like the uni to uni knot
Nice!!! What size line were you running on tge saltist 50?
50lb. Everyone got their fish this day on 50lb sinker rigs. Only one was caught on 80lb
@@Dirty.Hookers thank you sir. Good stuff as always.
@@joesantos1944 much appreciated man. Thank you 🙏
Can you told me what lines you were using
Everyone who caught fish on this day was using 50lb sinker rigs
@@Dirty.Hookers thanks
That was great shit…. Everybody seemed like they scored. What was the date of this thrashing….. bloody decks ooohhhh yaaa🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣monsters
Such an epic trip! One that none of us will ever forget! This was June 19th of 2021
nice trip to see everyone hooked up
Looked for them all day, but when we found them it was on! One of the best days on the water I’ve ever had
That looked like the perfect trip
It was definitely a badass trip! Everyone worked together and knew what to do before each person came down the rail. Set us up for success
Banger per usual
Hell yeah thanks Hayden!
What reel is that? The black/blue
Daiwa Saltist lever drag 50
Wow very exciting
Thank you! Happy to have captured this
Incredible!!
Thanks John!
Monster tuna! I won’t be able to get out this year, missing out!
Was an epic trip to experience and be apart of! If you do get a chance, I highly recommend getting out there!
Badass! You guys whacked em!! That axis rod handled em no problem, which one was it?
It’s a badass stick for sure! Been putting the wood to them with it. It’s the Axis 7’8” 40-100# (HAX-C 780X2H)

Awesome video, that was epic. Say what as the biggest caught on the boat.
I think the biggest was around 140 or 150, I can’t remember for sure off the top of my head

Googan trip for shure
You may think so, but I don’t recall any tangles or hick ups on this trip
How dare anyone give you the rail or corner when your on a fish!!!🤷♂️
It happens sometimes. Just gotta speak up when they’re in the way
😂
At 2:19 the real Americans don’t wear a mask
Everyone has their personal reasons for wearing a mask or not wearing a mask.
These guys milking there bait in the corner with a fish on doing circle's are googans
