Ive seen few tuna catches an they never showed the process of bleeding it out. Thanks for showing us this process. Respect to all the fishermen out there
That hook is pretty unique to OBX. I've never seen it deployed but have been told you swim the fish for over 1/2 hr to lower its temperature, A tuna fights for its life and really heats up expending so much energy!
Do you get sharks trailing from the blood?
Yes
Why won't you disclose the price you were paid for this tuna? Multiple comments have asked you but you won't tell anybody. How much was paid for it?
I would assume it's none of your business. Just because you want to know doesn't mean you get to know.
I kept thinking “When’s the Shark gonna take a bite” when he was being bled out
I have the same thought. Sharks getting on it. Old man in the sea.
I wrote something along the same lines. In Australia, fishing shows like Reef Addicts and Back 2 Basics. Sharks eat the fish while being reeled in.

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. Did I miss the payout amount for the fish?
Waste of a vid not saying how much $
I understand not wanting to state the $ amount. I do not like people knowing about my money, whatsoever! I will not let me family, other than my wife know what I make!
I'd guess 6.50 a pound. This isn't the fake TV prices you see on WT.
Dave,
I wish prices were that good.
You’re probably looking at half that per pound, or less.
Awesome fish!
Yeah I know was just being polite! The WT prices are for make believe. @@johnchase3920
@@denniscale1538it’s not really a secret who cares what you make it’s irrelevant I will tell anyone who ask.
Hi Joe. I would like to congratulate you for that amazing catch. I am tuna fishing and I have never caught anything over 250 pounds. ( I am in Europe and we don’t have fish like that 😤)
I would like to share few tips with you on how you can make that fish to be even better quality. I am not trying to be smart here but just wanted to shate my knowledge.
Cooling down fish was done spot on. Before bleeding proces I would suggest that you brain spike fish. That will keep heart pumping and it will not cause any extra stress.
After bleeding I suggest that you open upper part of tuna head and that you insert a wire through spinal cord. That action would increase quality of your tuna a lot.
If possible I suggest that you gut the fish and put in the ice slurry as fast as possible.
Sorry for such a long message but I wanted to share this with you.
Looking forward for a new video
i mean you prolly bled out 50 lbs of blood
huge congratulations, many of us fish for a lifetime and never see a fish anywhere near that size. well done Joe.
thats the biggest one ill ever see! thank you very much sir, and thanks for watching!
And the reason for that is too great of demand on the resource.
Unfortunately everything i money driven.
So how much money do you get for a fish like that ?
I was waiting for that & we didn’t get to hear about that
That's why i started watching the video thank you for saving my time
Very good job Joe.
That tuna was just unreal. I can not even wrap my head around something that big.
Keep them coming.
yes sir i will! thanks for watching as always noel!
10' is super-sized for today. Back early in the countries history they harpooned bluefin which were 16'..
Joe congrats on your huge fish! Great video too, very informative. Only thing lacking was the price per lb (your title does say "selling". Would be neat to compare an actual transaction vs the prices they show on Wicked Tuna
I was looking for that too.
ya i just wanted to see how much he got paid...
yeah I agree too
Selling means selling, and this was misleading. it's what drew me to the page.
Same, pretty lame that he left that out. great video besides
Humility is a rare trait these days. Thank you for setting a good example. Awesome video!
He handled it professionally and humanly.
not the most humain@@JumboCanvas
@@JumboCanvas...
Humidity is very common.
You must interact with shit people to have that opinion.
@@sproket168 First of all you spelled humility wrong. Second of all you are probably 9 years old. And third of all humility is a virtue and when you do look at TH-cam, there are a lot of shit people.
What do you do as you're bleeding them if a shark shows up ?
its very a rare a shark would try to get that close to a boat or try to eat something bigger than itself
Amazing catch! Here in Italy the blue fin is almost extinct due to heavy fishing. Going out with your boat and fighting the animal is the most honest and respectful way to catch the tuna. Thank you for sharing this video with the rest of the world!
No lessons get learnt though, people just see the money unfortunately!
So wondering how much did he get per pound? Did I miss it? Nice catch btw 🤘🏻🍻
Between $4-$7 per lbs.
Absolutely no chance he only made $3k for that fish
Two questions pls: 1) did anyone establish how old the fish was? & 2) how much is a fish like that worth, landed at the dock?
Considering what they pay at those docks im assuming 10k.
10k for all the amount off effort and expenses they put into that fish is hard to believe they can survive on that. I'm sure it's a beautiful experience but a very difficult life.
How much did you get before i subscribe?
I’m always so worried, bleeding out in the water that a shark is going to come up and take a bite out of it.
Like in the Michener story “ The old man and the sea”
I would be too. I've seen videos of huge great whites come right up and bite the tuna off the line before the crew can land it.
It definitely happens.
So how much money do you make off a fish that size, after you pay your crew and fuel and everything?
Great video. Had no idea that you have to swim them to cool them down before bleeding them. Great content. Excited to watch the up coming videos
yes sir, there is an extensive process to make sure the fish is best quality as possible. thanks for watching!!
Aloha. Ahi means fire. Not only will they smoke your reel, but also themselves.
That was a nice tuna
When you bleed a large fish like that don't sharks in the area think, dinner is served!
This was a butchery of this tuna omg!!
You need to watch the Japanese and how they cut their bluefin tuna catches, it's with precision, proper knives more like swords, they don't muck around with peewee knives for bluefin tuna.
So how much do the get for it ($$$$)
Is interesting to see how Japanese revere and treat Tuna with professionalism. These act like a bunch of amateur hill Billis.
Anyways thank you for sharing I learned a few things.
Two of your best videos Joe
That majestic monster of a tuna deserved every minute of two videos.
What a catch great job!!
i really appreciate that! thank you john that means a lot. im glad you enjoyed the videos
@17:15 why is there lines in the Sky , A Chemical Gray color covering the Sun ? CHEM TRAILS ?
Military jets
Wow! What an interesting video! The whole time you were swimming the fish I was waiting for a shark to come up alongside and take chunks out of it. 😬
That's actually a disgrace I watched the Japanese man do it with a knife like a artist these cronies are using a sawzall and a butter knife wow
Guess he doesn't want to comment on the money part
$40 cad per pound so maybe 20k USD
Every fish is a different price per pound that is why they took samples.
How much do you get for that monster?
Just found your channel with this video. This whole process is pretty slick. Especially the research part. The fact that your catch is going to go to feed a great white is just some kind of childhood dream! The ear bone thing, I feel like I knew at one point, but to see where it comes from is quite interesting. I appreciate your video!
It's interesting to see how Americans do it versus the Japanese. Of course we use power tools lol.
Can you update us with a sale price?
No fat, rhe fish was not eating well. I didn't know they could burn themselves like that. Generate heat yes, but not that hot.
What kind of money did it bring? That’s what everyone wants to know.
I was just going to comment Those Exact Words. How much did you get for it? Or will you get in trouble from the TH-cam or the irs?
Most people watched this to see how much it sold for
Being a fisherman from Minnesota this is the coolest thing. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How much per Lb if u don’t mind me asking, dressed up?
Well I'm glad a big old makco didn't come up on you. Have you ever had that problem before?? I've heard of it once but that's it
@ 8 dollars/lb @845lbs its $6,760
You Are so blessed to land and harvest this tuna Joe!!
very!!
Who gets the cheek meat and neck meat? Seems that there was 15-2o pounds of excellent grazing there......
tuna do not have cheek meat, they are suction feeders. they do have head and tail meat which we usually take but we gave them to the ocearch guys to help them with their research. they do a pretty cool thing, theyre based in our home town, were happy to help them out
3 years and 7 months of sea duty....and I seen a couple tuna sandwiches.......never caught one though, Quite interesting that those huge gill plate are not hiding something beside gills. Thank you. Now you have a goal....skin this one Pilgrim...I'll catch you another !!@@joevtfishing
Epic catch! It's surprising to me that the bleeding process doesn't attract sharks. 🤙🏾
no not really. there is a very very small chance a great white finds it. thats only happened once in the past 10-12 years here
im sure it does but the fish and boat are so big it would take a ballsy shark to go up and try it
the shark would be attracted to where the blood is in the water, but the boat is moving at a fair clip, so the fish isn't there any more, and sharks don't understand the geometry required to go ahead of the fish's blood trail.
Joe, congratulations on your PB Bluefin Tuna. These two videos, from fighting this monster then landing it to securing to the boat where it was swum, cooled, and bled, to the prep work and processing, along with research data obtained, at dock side were splendid and awesome. Please in your next video finish the details of your monster tuna. I, we would love to know, after cooling in ice bath, what grade they gave the meat, did the fat content improve, purchase price per pound quoted, and where was the destination of this monster.
it was slightly better than we thought but still very low. fish had good color though, probably bc we swam it and bled it for so long. i guess haha sounds good at least
Video title: "selling...." no sale takes place ;/
Fantastic! I've been waiting for more on this fish.
Thanks for bringing us along 🤘
and thank you for watching!
How much did y'all get for it?
I honestly love these educational videos! This truly was a once ina life time catch. Thanks for sharing it with us
Glad you enjoyed it!
$3,746,455.24 for that blue fin tuna dam I did some calculations on it if they didnt cut or get rid of anything on or in the tuna
19:54 I wouldn't be so happy about old mate smoking next to my fresh fish lol
Exactly 😁
Why not? Is it gonna blow up?😂
@@JedemPoKucama lol I dunno just seems gross. I guess he's not gonna eat it himself so who gives a crap
@@opium32
When I was a kid, the pizza man always had a smoke dangling. I saw ash fall off the end end and he’d mix it right in the the sauce. He was famous for having the best pizza in Mt Vernon NY. The ashes don’t bother me at all. I figured it’s sterilized with fire.
Now, when people sweat into my food, I can’t handle that.
Why, do you think the tuna will suffer from the secondhand smoke ?
So if it was sold like the title says what was it worth?...
Congrats on the fish! What a giant! I saw a bluefin for the first time last year during the LGCBC in Grand Isle. I believe it was Blueprint Sportfishing that weighed it right before it was our turn at the scales. Pictures and video really do no justice how big those fish are.
Well how much you get??? By pound ? 637 x ?
So how much did you "sell" it for?
Heyr for this info as well!
You are lucky you didn't get Sharks turning up 🦈🦈🦈🦈
I had no idea they could survive that long! Insane
Isn't it just. Can you imagine such a death for yourself just because you will be premium eating for the elite?
@@jedfra9172actually, interestingly, I can 😶
How much weight in blood did you loose ?
Congrats bro! Glad you brought us along with you! Love the videos, keep up the hard work!
thank you! thank you so much for watching! yes sir i will
Definitely not as big as Wicked Tuna but a nice fish. Would have been better with no sound or cigarette smoking while handling. No fat equals less per lb. The Japanese only want the fattest cuts of tuna with the Otoro being the most prize cut. It's too bad it was not fattier so you would get maximum dollar. I root for any American and somebody that can fight and bring in a Tuna that big deserves his money. Congrats
im trying my best nathan, my channel is the real world of fishing not a disney world version you see on tv
What’s the matter, don’t you like real life ? people smoke and swear all the time, if you don’t like it there’ a cartoon on somewhere.
so what was the age determined by the earbone?
heyyooooo! I'm from Beaufort, NC. Go head over to Backstreet and have a few beers ;) killer video, man
I was about to subscribe, but without knowing the price, what's the point of this video?
We don’t get the price for several weeks…. I said the price in another video.
What’s the point of this comment if you’re going to watch a video without paying attention
I've always wondered if a non-commercial fisherman can sell a tuna to a commercial buyer?
What was a amazing to me was seeing the Bleeding out via "swimming'" the fish. I thought that was truly clever as-well thoughtful of the fish. When we Cowboy the Cattle drives... we never yell and scream like you see them do on the TV or in films. We walk them slowly--- at their pace so that we don't get them stressed out, which ruins the meat. There's proven methods for success in all things in life. IF ONLY we'd LISTEN and LEARN!!! *Cheers mates!* Sir Nicholas In Seattle
How much was the overall haul? Money wise?
Great Bluefin Tuna congratulations Joe, explain please what kind of Okuma reel can drag this monster and what type of line and leader where you using?
Here in Europe i catch maximum up to 100 LB bluefin Tunas but nobody buys them... so we eat them with family
okuma makaira 80w does the trip. we use 130lb main line
How many times can you say OH MY God? 15/20?
Need to sharpen those knives.
Very nice!
You should have used a heavier glove to reel it in!
dudeeee, I fish at port side and i saw you bring in that tuna 🤣
Is portside marina at Atlantic Beach? Back in 1993 I had my boat at that marina I think 🤔 was just wondering cause I was in the Marines then. Can't remember.
How much he sell that for?
Congratulations, that’s a big fish! I assume you sell the fish, how much per pound would a fish like that bring? Never sold a fish so I guess there’s a market rate to follow somewhere. Again congrats!
I thought you guys said 116 🤔
My apologies Joe, I have a bunch going on. First off, HOLY SH!T!!!! that's a monster of a Fish and CONGRATULATIONS!!!! to the whole BOAT!!! Second, now I have to find a moment to go and watch the last video!! You always have tushie kicking content but this, This is just, and must be for you, surreal, unreal, for real, Okuma Reels,...Hell, ALL the Real/Reels!!! Once again Congratulations to you Sir!!! Just seeing that fish has made my day, and possibly week, and I would wager it'll be very close to the top of mind for you, for quite a while!!! Freakin' Outstanding Fish/Job, Joe!!! - Dave (of the Great White North)
A great sized fish. In other programmes I've seen, the fish has been iced but never bled and the fish weighed once the head, tail and guts have been removed, as opposed to being weighed whole.
The guy in the green sweat-shirt needs a sharper knife.
How much did the tuna earn in $/LB - not best price I suspect as it was skinny.?
The climax for British tuna fishing was reached in 1933 with a fish that is still the UK record weighing 851lbs taken off Whitby in Yorkshire, by Mitchell-Henry. That story surprised me!
It’s amazing how many people don’t even know where their food comes from. Much less anything like this.
Incredible catch, congrats!
The dock guys need to get some of those Japanese carving knives and cleavers though. Makes processing huge tuna go like buddah.
That was AMAZING A MAZING BROOO!!! O M G! SO MUCH MEAT LOL! WOW MAN, so happy for you! And yes, you've being chosen, blessed, I feel you were able to feed some! Thank you for this amazing video!
Question: The cuttings are optional or they force fishers to their cuttings? Did they keep the tail? Why you didn't sale the head? In the tail & head gone 208, maybe 207.5 lbs (-the steak).
NOW, if you haven't, find the way to ship Japan! So you sale direct!
I would be afraid a huge shark would come up and take a huge bite out of your tuna ?? Have you ever had that happen ? Nice catch
we wanna know how much?
Please
We live in a SAD SAD SAD society today when you have to have a Disclaimer for everything.
IT'S JUST THE STEPS IN PROCESSING A FISH PPL !!!!!
Very humane.
Surprised a big shark didn’t reduce your monster to a massive skeleton.
I almost died off of Oregon Inlet (capsize die to taking on water) and have never tasted bluefin 😢.
Yellowfin? Albacore? Oh yeah 😂 plenty!
Gr8 video---the video is titled "Selling a 10 FT Long Bluefin Tuna" however u wont answer the question, it is asked out of curiosity, not a desire to know your bank balance----why not answer ???
Doesn't the blood attract sharks?
I ate tuna last couple days but still hate to watch the harvest. Same with chicken or anything. I KNOW how it works but still. Not a hypocrite just....well, you know.
When i was little, 65+ years ago and living with my grandparents, still miss em, in southwest Appalachia, i didn't really understand why my grandmother was wringing the heads off my play friends, chickens, BUT i ate up that fried chicken. A treat as while i don't remember goin hungry i just thot everyone ate beans and potatoes 3 times a day along with cornbread.
Kinda still do and we're billionaires compared to our dirt poor beginnings.
rick in Tennessee.
That WOULD suck to get shark with that tuna on the edge of the boat
it would haha there is a very very small chance a great white finds it. thats only happened once in the past 10-12 years here
*108 inches*
The most Painful Torturing sadistic fishing video I have ever seen and by the way i am a Dive Instructor and i Love eating fishe and fishing i aint no angel 👼🏻 but its all abut respect to this amazing Creatures shame on you all this pain you get this Fish through Have you No Heart?
In America we use DeWalt sawzalls, in Japan they use giant Exacto knife blades essentially. Smh.
Luck favors the prepared!
Ridiculous how long and lean it is! Looking forward to the cook!
thanks!!
I Have to award you the dumbest Internet quote of the week 🎉🎉🎉
Sticks finger into the spine of the fish and says "I wonder what that tastes like" suck it an see🤡🤪😆 - I have to say that I have subscribed and liked the video but the comment got me lol🤔, also if you're broadcasting then you can't suddenly hide the price, its 1 fish so its not like your showing your yearly income you have overheads wages maintenance and fuel licensing and probably a lot more but a fish like that we want to know what it sells for
I don't know did I miss something how much did you get for the fish it says that you're selling the fish how much would you get❓❓❓❓
Fk me, In spite of the headline reading "Selling a 10 FT Long Bluefin Tuna" don't expect to find out how much he sold it for. I mean 'why would he bother to include what would be the most interesting fact to the majority of us?
That Tuna Head is the most Prized part of the Tuna...In Japanese Culture it's a big deal, the meat from the head is the best, if it's cooked whole.....shame you used it as bait😮
Wow all my q&a have been answered! Thanks Joe VT. That was totally awesome an congrats. Most Americans can't handle the truth an you showed up for a great video for us . Your a dang rockstar in my book . Don't get the big head an good luck on the 120 . It's gonna happen for ya with alot of country fat in it. Respect from Readyville Tn. Probably gonna watch again lol I loved that content.
i appreciate that! thank you for watching!
I like eating fish but shouldn't u keep the big ones that are healthy... your words .... keep the big ones alive to make more.
I think you violated this fishes right by potentially misgendering as "him". I mean, did you ask for the fishes prefered pronouns before addressing "him" in the first place? How did you know that "he" accepted being referred to as a "fish" at all? These are questions that all so called "fishermen" or fisher persons" or "them there fish catching whatsernames" should be forced to answer, preferably in writing, before they are ever allowed out in a boat! And who says that "fish" can only be "caught" in "water" at all?
I'm sure he got around 9grand give or take 500 bucks for that tuna. Prolly 16bucks a pound is my guess guys
