Salt Marsh Sunday HOOKING UP TO GIANT BLUEFIN TUNA in New Jersey!!!!!

In this episode I took a break from bass to go ghost hunting for Giant Bluefin Tuna in NJ. It took hours of running around and took a break but I found what I was looking for.

Bro!!!!! That’s such a crushing feeling!!! Good stuff though!! 🔥🔥🔥. Way to go!!
Just like you, I chased these giants solo all last fall! I got on them 3x but couldn’t hook up. My whole body was shaking as I made a cast to a 400lb + on a top water bite! CANT WAIT to try again!! Let’s fucking go!!!!!!

Sick video! What a kick in the balls to lose that fish. I recently purchased a Saragossa 14000 hoping to land a tuna on it. New to fishing so I’m still learning. No tuna for me last year

What gear were you using? Good video...

[@Scottysevins]

OTI 8ft tuna popping rod rated to 6oz I think. This reel was my beach Sharking reel which is the shimano Big Baitrunner 14000 long cast which is a euro reel not released in the us. It wasn’t meant for fish like that but it’s all i had at the time. But I’ve since gotten a different tuna spinning reel since then. A Saragossa 18000.

Always a sick feeling, been there.

[@Scottysevins]

It’s the worst! Such a roller coaster

[@SneakyPeteNJ]

Heart breaker! Assume that was up north and not down here

[@Scottysevins]

It really was. Either way one of the best experiences of my life to hook a fish that big. And yes not local.

This is a great video. Nice job.
