- we head offshore of Greymouth on the West Coast of New Zealands South Island in the DNA Boats 630 XHT in search of a Northern Pacific Bluefin Tuna.
While we didn't manage to land a Northern Pacific we did hook one and managed to land a few Southern Pacific Bluefin Tuna
enjoy - กีฬา
We fished around hokitika trench 5 years ago and seen the biggest great white imaginable we estimated it to be around 25 foot it was a colossus of a thing if we never seen it would of never believed the size of this thing it sent chills through us all
That was exciting, intense, real and epic
Awesome that you made room on your boat to take us along on the adventure
Thanks for sharing
Love your work
great video Josh love watching your adventures
Epic Josh Ocean going Giant tuna well done lads 🤙
Nice fish Josh. We get them in South Australia and smoke them then preserve them in jars. Real crowd pleaser! Even vac sealed tuna over a year old just defrost, smoke, jar, enjoy. Love your work 🤝
Bloody awesume josh , cheers , shaneo, nelson 👍

You're a Legend mate great catch
Tumeke josh... chur to te chuurr brother 💯🤙🏾👍🏾🍻😎
I’ve always wanted to fish like that. I’m only in my 30s but because of health issues… I doubt I’ll ever be able to afford to go. Thank you for sharing this stuff with us. Some of us can’t get out to do those things so this is the only way we can experience it. 🙏
No worry's mate
Love your video keep up the good work 👍 dangg
so stoked to see you's hang up a jumbo!
Watch this space....
Yeah mate a nice long cold smoke on that bad boy can make for spectacular smoked fish... mean video bro
Mean night and days fishing, that tuna stacked a few packs of meat there bro solid as! Looked tasty too.
There's Some Monsters Out There Mate. It's Great Seeing Them.
You need yourself a cooler bag for those bigger fish and to bring a shit ton of ice if your going for those bigboys!! Congrats brother awesome job🤙🤙
The boys and gals across the ditch living in paradise. I'll tell ya, despite certain aspects of our 2 countries (governments), these 2 parts of the world are up there in the best places on earth, especially over in your neck of the woods. I reckon NZ pips us at the post when it comes to the hunting though, but we are blessed people to live in these parts of the world.
,
I like those big gold nuggets you blokes find in oz ,looks bloody hot & bloody dusty & those bloody flies & snakes i don't think i would be able to handle it but would love to have a go at finding me some of them ,aussie gold hunters is one of my fav shows .
what does the government do that you dont agree with? I'm an Aussie and this is the first I've heard of kiwis not liking nz..
@@joeprinsen1717 If you don't see problems with how our respective govts run things you need to pay attention more. Also I'm at a loss to know what you're talking about with your comment
"first I've heard of kiwis not liking NZ."
I don't know where you got that from my comment
@@Antipodean33 I don't watch TV dude. it's brain poison. you're a kiwi, and you said you don't agree with government, hence the kiwi not liking nz. plain English bro...
Yea mate we are real lucky to be down here! Govts don't matter much when you have all the natural resources both our respective countries have.
Final comment 🤣
Awesome podcast, watched all of it and I'm a Bigg fan 💯👍💯
great story you r lucky to live that life enjoy
Hi sir i always watch your volg, I'm a plipino
Depending on the day at the auction house in Japan that is probably a 10-15k fish right there crazy aye? those chucks you cut up would get served to people for like 4-5k a piece
Wow! Way to go cutting that fish up🔥
Gosh Josh. Epic🦈
I always watching from Japan. You're still eating delicious food! The tuna salad at the end was drooling.🤤
I'm using translation, so sorry if it's weird English😵
I really regret not moving to New Zealand about 20 years ago when I had the chance.
At least I am going to go there about 2 years from now to stay there for some months and just hunt and fish and living as I want to.
Very soon this type of lifestyle will be only be available to the Megarich and the Ultraweathly. Not everybody in new zealand can experience these types of adventures.
@@Xedilian 100%, if your from nz you will know that they are strongly trying to suffocate self sufficiency, if your not from nz, look up the 1080 poisoning they do here in AOTEAROA! Poisoning our land and animals trying to get rid of them so we can’t hunt and be self sufficient anymore , all part of the big agenda!
Well done Gosh.cheerz from cali
Cheer
Buzzy watching you on TH-cam my bro👌 what up from sumner, Taylor's mistake bro, Brap ya way back down some day soon🤙🤙
Nice one josh

Wow 😳
What a beast
That was great
Mad fish bro .. keep em comming !
Excellent 🤙🏻
Churr bro . I'm still down to come over for a mad fishing adventure
Nice 🐟
Hard work does pay off!!!
we run top shot 9-12 feet into hollow core then poke it out 3/8 in use lighter to make a ball on the nubb then wrap with wax floss nubb and end of hollow core to top shot never had one separate yet , fishing in hawaii.
we fish 170-200lb test fluro over here in Maine and catch 1,000lb fish on it. drops more natural just have to use circle hooks!
Good advice. Thank you
Sweet catch....................sushi for everyone !! lol
WOW bro, EPIC VIDEO mate absolutely beautiful fish, what was the weight of it? I think it was close to 70 or 80. CHUR BRO 🤙🏾
125 gilled and gutted
That was some proper backstraps :)
need to do a trip upto waihau bay for the tuna ween there on the bit
Yeah , long way to go but keen as
Great video Josh and good effort on the bluefin . Could you look up on TH-cam re joining top shot and hollowcord I know Matt Watson has one on joining it hope that helps
Solution seems to be 3 metres Into the hollow core. Never had this happen before so may have forgot to sand it before poking it up. A few others have had it happen as well
@@joshjameskiwibushman do you glue the other end or do a knot with dental floss to secure it in to place at the leader end

Wow what a fish
Hi, I’ve been enjoying your videos Josh. Do you know Isaac Brown by chance?

Yeah top shelf

epic
Fish skin chips josh!
Eating well tonight happy fathers day 😋
Same to you mate

New Zealand has the best pies
I assume you whipped the join of the mono into the hollow braid? And insert the mono further into the braid maybe? Hard to know without seeing your join, sometimes just bad luck! Persistence paid off anyway!
Mono pushed 2 metres into braid, finished with a few half hitches and a PR knot. It's caught 3 other bluefin this season and a heap of albacore and been sweet. I think just bad luck. Will push it 5 m into the hollow core next time
@@joshjameskiwibushman they way you did it sounds good to me brother, I’m surprised it failed. I sometimes glue the braid to the mono along the splice too, and then I whip both joins and glue the whipping. Bad luck, but there were plenty of fish biting, so you are all good. It sucks when gear fails and you only get the one bite :(
@@joshjameskiwibushman I sometimes take the mono in and out of the hollow braid a few times at the start and then do the big insert length, I sometimes feel like the braid does not grab and hold the mono as tight as I want it too. You can also insert the mono 6-12 inches from the end of the braid and use the 6-12in of hollow braid to tie to the mono, which I think is what you were talking about with your PR knot.
Depending on drag pressure, an fg or sc knot is a good alternative for non hollow braid to mono, but if you have the hollow braid then splicing is more than 100%…but it still sucks when it fails. Better luck next time brother!
Great vid mate none of my business but notice your never home u and ya missus not together anymore?? Keep up the great work though!!
We are taking a wee break to work on some stuff, cheers mate
Just outside where I live, we have Atlantic Bluefin Tuna swimming not far from the coast, but the rules for fishing them here are so extremely strict and it is extremely difficult for us sportfishers getting the permission to fish them.
Even for catch and release.
Only very few get such a permission and they have to go through some proper loopholes to get it.
And they can only catch very few fish each season.
It is really annoying to have them swimming just outside my doorstep and not being allowed to fish for them.
I find it totally stupid when commercial fishing boats can fish for them, but I can't even catch and release one.
Much of the tunas they catch here are 200-400 kilo, but they can get bigger than that here.
All about the money aye
Sitting in a Bp truckstop north of Melbourne and your face is on TV on discovery channel picking shit of the beach with that American bloke.. the tension is intense.
lol thats my vote
Shit yea what a horse of a fish well done guys
now that's a fukn tuna !!!!!!!!!!!!! well done from Canada.
Holy shit. I just checked the world market prices for tuna. You should have just motored straight to Japan.
nice, i think they very expensive can be over 100k US$ ?
Yep
Smoked bluefins fkn on 👌
Vote Jacinda ya keunts.
TUFF TEAM 1ST MATE TELLING THE CAPTAIN 😆😆😆 WALK THE PLANK ☠️😂
Nice fish 🐟 boys
Did you figure out how long the fight lasted?
Looked like it was straight up and down for a while.
Chur Chur
Bout 2.5 hours
I cold smoke the tail ends wings and sometimes the odd belly it’s the best fish Youl ever taste. never hot smoke tuna always cold
wonder what the value of that big blue was worth had you sold it?
Yeah same. We are not allowed to sell fish being recreational fisherman though. Bit of a bugger
@@joshjameskiwibushman This is a bugger, State side you can sell your catch.
Smoke it bro
is that enough for dinner
that was alot of blood
Anything smoked is better....;)) ..Marcel, marlin, etc..beef, lamb,chicken, etc... mmm.... and do I need to mention pork...everything is better with 🥓 bacon
great fish what did it weigh
125 gutted and gilled
Why did u gut the fish before you weighed it.
We wanted to keep it on top eating condition. I personally don't care about weigjts and records and stuff like that. I prefer the experience and memories and giving fish away to people. Cheer!!!
@@joshjameskiwibushman fair enough man love the content and what you do for people wanting to get into hunting. Keep doing it man.
2 pulled hooks?
Get him off the rods!!
Jacks tagged every big game species in NZ except for a sword. He knows what he is doing. Sometimes shit just happens
those falsys could do with a realign m8. dont wanna lose em over the edge
Haha, 2 in the front. Lose em in the raft occasionally when whitewater rafting. Always down a big rapid
i love watching your videos, I go fishing at the Kapiti Coast (Isaac age 9)
Don’t know why you wouldn’t chuck that blue fin straight on ice and sell it at the market would get a few grand for sure
Can't, illegal. Could lose the boat
