I know, right? It was awesome.

:)

It was crazy

Thanks! Hope we get a window to do it again this year.

:) It was an epic Salmon and crabbing day.

They're great boats! Good luck.

I hear ya. Man I hope we get a few more opportunities this year.

My max is about 30 WOT. Best cruise and fuel economy about 4500RPM +/- 22MPH. I plan on repowering with a 200 this winter. Thanks for watching.

You got to love it when the ocean lays down like that for an entire day. Rare for sure.

You're right. That is always a hot rod.

Boy there's a lot that goes into that question. Ideally I like the period to be 3 times the swell height. (i.e. 3 at 9 seconds) I'm also looking to see if the wind and waves are coming from different directions. Wind from the south with waves from the north is a washing machine that I avoid. The boat can handle some pretty tough weather, but I don't enjoy trying to fish while being thrown around the deck. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Tight Lines!

Great video! Question: What line do you use for the hand line and how far back do you run it?

It was awesome. Thanks for watching.

Hammond, Oregon - Thx for watching!

It's a good idea. I'll give it a shot on the next trip. We just got back from a tuna run and I tried hanging bells on the line, that didn't work :) Thanks for watching. Tight lines!

Thanks for suggestion. I was thinking about trying the bell thing but wasn't sure if they would ring just from the boat moving. I'll try it out. Thanks for watching. Tight lines!

Thanks 👍

Between 6 1/2 and 9 MPH. The hot rod lately has actually been the shotgun rod at 150' out. Thanks for watching.

That one was 18lbs which is pretty common for Albacore out here. They're great quality tuna.

Thx

Thx

Definitely agree about the gaffing :) On the trip the average weight was 33lbs, with a couple of fish in the high 30 lb range. The wide angle on the Gopro makes everything look a little smaller. Thanks for watching!

We moved due south from our first position. Thanks for watching!

There has definitely been a greater enforcement presence this year in the Northwest. We were boarded this weekend (Video coming). It's all good, we try to do everything by the book. This time of year we fish for "Hatchery" fish. Fish that were raised in hatcheries up river and released to grow in the ocean. They are identified by a clipped adipose fin on the back. If it's not clipped we assume it's a wild or "Native" fish and throw it back. This time of year on the ocean, you can only keep hatchery Coho. Thanks for watching. Tight Lines!

Yes they are. Can't wait to get tuna footage

Depending on what I'm targeting I'll launch out of Hammond, Garibaldi, or Newport Oregon.

Thank you. Appreciate the comment. Looking forward to posting a bunch more this summer. Tight lines!

Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks for the comment. I love mine!

Thanks for watching! Tight Lines.

That was a fun day.
