Thanks Ralph! I'm actually in the process of selling Lilly-O, hopefully will be making more videos next year on board my smaller Montauk 190. Appreciate you watching and commenting, have a great holiday season!
Now I'm from Minnesota and we don't have big fish like that but I'm a muskie fisherman and big ones give you a great fight. I love watching how you handled and got those fish in by yourself.
As a fellow musky angler I can assure you that musky don't give a "great fight" compared to any saltwater pelagic species, pound per pound or otherwise Their lack of a rigid, sickle shaped tail puts them at an anatomical disadvantage with regards to power output. I love the fish of 10000 casts but fresh and salt are two different worlds when it comes to strength, just like how musky are much more wary than any pelagic.
Aloha, I have a question on your gaff with the rope- do you have loops to go on the bill after the gaff is set? How is that set up? Mahalo again for the videos, keeps me going when I catch a tan and no fish lol.....
The rope does not have loops, what i do is make half hitches which tighten around the bill when it’s pulled. Get flat nylon type rather than round (3 strand) rope as the bill will stick to it like Velcro 👍 once u half hitch it, it will not pull off even if the marlin starts to shake its head. Ah old trailer winch strap works well too! Thanks for watching again!
Jacob Jorgenson this past season cause of covid we were getting up to $9.00/lb! Normal season’s prices at the local fish auction is about $3/lb. I’ve been cutting and selling quarters for $5:lb
@@WindsAbove so Covid means there are fewer fishing so more demand? So the lack of tourist have no affected you? Is there a season for Tuna fishing in Hawaii?
Jacob Jorgenson covid shut down the commercial tuna industry thru no tourism so local fishermen were supplying the large demand hence limited supply drive prices up. Takes commercial fleets apprx 3 weeks to land Tinna here at our Honolulu fish auction, primarily travel time.
Jacob Jorgenson those are Shimano Tiagara 130 2 speed, spooled with Maxima Green 150 lb test on Island Rod Wrap 80lb stubbie rods. Thanks for watching!
