Great content! Very informative. Keep these up! I’ve never fished the Legend, but after watching your channel, I definitely want to get a trip in with you guys.
Just found your channel and I love the content. Would it be possible to provide the make and model of the rods and reels being talked about? Looking forward to more videos.
I’d say keep it to a round number like 50ft or 100ft for depth purposes while night jigging or sinker rigging. If you’re just leadering a jig, probably half the length of the rod.
Worst thing about bluefin is sometimes they get into these weird moods where they will only eat 3 inch anchovies and ONLY anchovies... and line shy like crazy... I remember one time they were only biting tiny hooks and insane light line like under 20 lbs test and the smallest anchovies and they were so big if you did hook up youd get spooled, it was such a waste of time chasing them that day. Fishing is all luck and captain because sometimes you can just throw hooks and that quick shine is enough to get them to hit it.
3-5 ft of fluoro is all you really need when sinker rig fishing. Something manageable with your weight up above your connection. And then if you are thinking of having mono between braid and fluoro something like 50ft for stretch is really all you need.
Non Fishing Salesmen Don’t tell us anything about the reels or rods 😮 Just show us and say Avet EX ??? And a good rod ? Useless information without any detail
Great advice, you guys make it easy to understand what works and what to expect on the boat. And don’t break your gear! Lol thanks!
Nate - You always give great advice with a smile. You and Danny are a great team!
Nate is a rockstar! Super glad he was able to help us out with this video.
Thanks for this. Got my third trip on the Legend coming up in a few weeks now and I’m definitely coming loaded!
That’s what we like to hear! Looking forward to having you out again 🙂
Great videos, Steve. I will on your boat in at least 4 times this upcoming season.
Right on! Thank you!

Very good informative video, I have never fish the legend, hopefully this season I get to fish the legend and meet you guys🤙
Glad it was helpful! We’d love to have you out for sure. 🎣
Coming into late in the season, Nov, what do you recommend for 2 day trip ?
Just found your channel and I love the content. Would it be possible to provide the make and model of the rods and reels being talked about? Looking forward to more videos.
Awesome to hear! 😊 we’ll get the specs for you!
The rod I believe is a 7640 with an avet 2 speed reel. Spooled with 65lb braid to 40lb monofilament.
What was the first rod and reel you were describing?

Good info. Were most of the day time tuna on sinker rigs or flyline?
Last trip all of our daytime fish were flyline. 30lb. We had one bite on the sinker rig, but chewed him off after a short fight.
How long mono leader do you recommend on the 100lb rail rod setup?
I’d say keep it to a round number like 50ft or 100ft for depth purposes while night jigging or sinker rigging. If you’re just leadering a jig, probably half the length of the rod.
hi, which way does your boat drift? ive heard different boat drift differently, where would be the best place to cast a bait?
The Legend like about 90% of the boats out of San Diego drift stern first. You can cast out of the stern or the bow on a long drift.

That’s fishing for ya!
Nice
How much of a topshot would you recommend?

Does H&M sell jigs with all the hooks changed out ready to fish?
Yes they do!
Looking forward to testing the Squidtrex vibe deep jigging a 150 for tuna
Let us know how it goes!
Ok the bes boy usa iron hook
Would a TRX 50 be a good reel for school tuna.
At night with heavy line for jigging it would be great! Even as a sinker rig set up for 80lb test.
Daytime no night bite yes. Big ass reel.
