You guys had a great trip. For those of you who were wondering what these Anglers do with the fish when they get back to the dock, there's a few choices. You can throw them all in the back your truck an ice them down and take them home. They also have a couple different canneries that show up at the end of each trip where you can trade your tuna in for cans of the best albacore you'll ever eat or, they will take your fish and fill them and vacuum seal and flash freeze them, but you would have to pick them up from the processor about a week later. For those of you who have never been on a long-range trip and you like fishing, I suggest you go on one of these long-range trips, 15 to 17 days at least once in your lifetime. You have three gourmet meals a day plus they always have snacks out. The staterooms are always roomy and clean. The crew is the best on any boat you go out on, make sure to always tip your crew. This was a great video and it brought back a lot of great memories, I'm looking forward to my next trip already. May God be with you and your lines always in the water.
Tony Reyes may he rest in peace. The owner of Tony Reyes charters in Mexico. Ralph, "The Long Ranger" Mickelson, he holds the world record for the most yellowfin tuna caught over 300 lb. May he also continue to rest in peace. Kurt Wiesenhutter and his wife😊, I hope you are both still around and fishing the deep blue Seas. I've had the pleasure to call all of these people my friends and fish with them all, even Kurt's wife would get on the rail and bring in a 200 lb tuna.
In the 80s, my dad brought me up fishing on the Royal Polaris. Then we switched to the Excel. I love the Excel that is a great boat great captains and the great crew. I've never fished on the Independence, but I have been on board it is a great boat. To answer the question where else can you do this type of fishing? The answer is nowhere . I moved to the East Coast a few years ago and they do not have long range fishing trips like Dago does. They have what you call six pack trips. You go out on a 40 to 50-foot boat, you and five friends. They only do day trips and it's about 1800.00 for the day for six people . But they Supply all the rods and reels, tackle and bait. I did catch a 588 lb bluefin tuna, but it's not the same you fight it with the rod in the rod holder. That's no fun to me, that's cheating. On my next vacation back to california, I definitely want to go on a 17 or 18 day trip on the independence . I'll see you all then.
I think I saw a small Raptor reel that somebody was using. I was on a 17-day trip on the Excel, and somebody sold me a new one for $300. It was so small I couldn't believe you could catch big 200 lb tuna on that reel, but the drags on it are great, and you can. Small but Mighty !
Whatever happened with Tyrone and his kite fishing turn? If he would have got bit, I would have loved to see him reel reel reel reel reel reel reel reel!!😮
I remember the days when if you were about getting close to getting spoiled, they would bring the skiff out and put you in the skiff to run down and fight your fish. A lot of boats have stopped doing that and have just started tying backup rods on . The most I've seen is two backup rods having to be hooked together and thrown overboard. That was a big fish.
Wait until you get bit on a Ray with a 15-20 ft wingspan. The longest I've seen somebody fight one of those was 7 hours, we thought it might be a 4 or 500 lb tuna for the first few hours. We had to stop fishing and finally Chase it down. They're not good for anything, but they do put up a fight.
