"give that fish some respect" My only complaint is your gaffer gaffed that tuna in some good meat area albeit close to the top spine...if the fish was being sold to the Japanese, they wouldn't pay top dollar cuz some of the meat was ruined. But great job educating other fishermen in America.....many fishermen think this is BS and it's torture and demented.
ON party boats it can be a "get it in the boat" situation often with multiple fish hanging. On our private boats the fish are treated to sushi standards.
I use this method with almost every fish I keep. All of my rockfish, salmon, lingcod, and halibut. Unfortunately I have not yet had the opportunity to try it on tuna.
@@sammypiraino8644 Last couple years has been decent north of me. We have not had a great season since the late 90s in Monterey Bay. I miss those 50+lb albacore.
Very nice explanation! Do you keep the fish on the deck while bleeding? I have seen people hanging them back in the water to get more blood out, or is that also to counter the clogging?
Great video as well as detailed step by step on handling, bleed, and nerve circuit disconnect. Nice work. Need to start doing this on YFTs here in Cabo... Cheers
Spiking the brain does work, I've always used my needle nose pliers just because it's on my belt, stops them immediately them bleed em. A spike would be a lot easier. Spinal tap sounds great! Thanks for the tip!
that fish needs hand crafted lures, costing minimum 10000000 dollars, cus u want it feel appriciated before taking its life. Its simply the least u can do for this fish. And the boat cannot be a simple wooden rowing boat.. It has to cost at the very least 1 million dollars. The line has to be silk, and spun by hand... the higher treads per inch the better. but as long as its very expensive. But seriously. Im all for the handling and such... But I hear Aftco and I just want to use the spike on myself..
you mentioned a big difference in quality on bluefin and that you can also do this on any fish, have you noticed a big difference in yellowtail and mahi mahi too?
Why is this method only being shown recently/now when these thousands of dollars fish have been hunted for donkeys years as prime top of the line meat. I’ve seen these Japanese fishermen who chop them up like surgeons with so much care and precision on videos but never seen this being done before. Just curious as I thought we’d have seen this years ago because it’s such a big industry. Thanks in advance 👍
Good question. I think it's just taken a while for the technique to take hold on our side of the globe. Kudos to @aftco for shining some light on Ike Jime.
Commercial rod and reel bluefin fisherman have been doing this for decades here on the east coast.We use an old CB radio antenna.We swim the fish for an hour or more to get the core temp down,then spike,bleed,run the wire,and ice down.Nothing cools a tuna down faster than swimming them.
How long after coming over the rail can you hold off on performing the wire in the spine? I go on head boats for yellow fin. It gets hectic.Not sure if I can do it right away.

Guitar/piano string serves same purpose.
Good call. Would totally work.
May God Bless Local Knowledge Fishing. A beautiful thing for our entire Angling community.
Thank you!
I’m assume after you do all this. The next step would be remove the gills and guts ? Then stuff into a kill bag/ fish hole?
Yes sir! We will do video on G and G this year.

Basic points concisely explained, took about 3 other vids before finding this one.
We love to hear that!

Nice work! Time to try a tuna this summer!
@@LocalKnowledge
I agree, I just need the tuna to cooperate 🤣. NorCal and so far no joy on my attempts to keep one solidly hooked.
@@fishhunt9874 how’s the albacore fishing up there

Great to see this very important technique being promoted, keep up the good work! Can be used for all fish.
Yes sir. Thank you for watching!
I have never seen this process until the other day. It just makes so much sense!
It really does provide the best quality.
Very nice explanation! Do you keep the fish on the deck while bleeding? I have seen people hanging them back in the water to get more blood out, or is that also to counter the clogging?
WE just do it on deck. Works like a charm.

You can do it!

Give it a shot and report back!

Feel free!
How do you gently set down a 200lb bluefin? It’s a small bronco, you are glad he doesn’t hit your leg
Just slide them over the rail and on to the deck. We see way too many people tossing fish like that around.
Well explained and easy to understand. Perhaps one suggestion is follow it up with a how to gill and gut. Great video though.
Great suggestion! thanks!
Why not removing the guts too?
That's the last step. Gill/Gutt and ice. We just ran out of time in the video.
Can’t wait to see that piece as well. I bet it does wonders on yellowtail as well.
Is there something similar i can do spearfishing with my dive knife ?
You can use the knife to spike and bleed the fish but you need the wire for the Shinke Jime. Aftco sells them.
Great video! I’ve always seen the spinal cord dispatched first before bleeding. What do you think?
We spike, bleed and wire in that order. Then gill and gut.
Wow, really great tutorial. I’ve been uncertain how to properly do this and appreciate the instruction.
We will teach you to fly a plane someday!
@@LocalKnowledge haha. I can’t wait!😂
you mentioned a big difference in quality on bluefin and that you can also do this on any fish, have you noticed a big difference in yellowtail and mahi mahi too?
Yellowtail especially. The meat looks different and tastes so mild and firm.
Awesome advice - Nicely presented! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It Is called Slicky Jimmy!
Close enough! haha
Can you pressure bleed tuna like a salmon?
Never tried. They are so big it would be tough I think. This method works everytime.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
You don’t cut the gills
Bleed however you like.
Thank you for instruction and guidance in details 👍
Glad it was helpful!

Can you explain what you mean by swimming them? Are you g&g on the boat or back at dock?
from thailand thankyou sir
we will try it out
👏👏👏
Gives a new meaning to turning Japanese!
Once you try it you'll never go back!
Its s fish lobotomy
More or less. haha
Excellent episode. Such great information. I will be doing this for all my fish
Glad it was helpful!
How long after coming over the rail can you hold off on performing the wire in the spine? I go on head boats for yellow fin. It gets hectic.Not sure if I can do it right away.
about 10 min or so.
Is it better to g&g on the boat or back at dock? Have you noticed a difference if the cavity is stuffed on the water vs waiting to g&g ?
Step one: slam the fish on the deck. Its heavy. 🤡
Thanks coach.
