30 lbs Bluefin Tuna Fishing with flyline livebait on Mission Belle, San Diego 7/23/2023 

Thanks! It’s a great boat for a full day.

💯%！🤙

​@@BTC_SFhow much do these charters cost

This was open party not charter

@@wazup3333 $240 for a full day in 2023

Thanks sir. Need to improve but getting better😅

​@@BTC_SFwere they chumming up the water?

Yes

The most exciting part of fishing! I wish I could capture the last bite I hooked one with stick bait in a foamer!

Fish are biting well last several days 🤙

Thanks! Never used #25 leader before. Can’t be too careful 😅

Thank you sir 🙏

Thanks for watching!

😂😂😂

I’m sure he meant to say hot rail lol

@@fvaldez714 I'm assuming that's what he meant

$20 for rod and single speed reel. Also they gave me a couple of hooks and sinker. The price is for a full day trip. I brought my own reel though. Tight lines!

​@@BTC_SFyoure live lining the fish right? What's the sinker for

That’s the flyline 101 but it’s fine as long as your bait is running like bait.

There’s always an alternative (creative) solution to a problem 😉

I would rather go overpowered than underpowered. You never know what size of tuna your boat run into. If I run into 50-100 pounder, I can swap leader to 80lbs and have a chance. If you start with talica10, no chance.

This rod was rental rod for #30 leader. I swapped with my Tac16 with #25 leader. Fish were picky this week and #25 get bit better than #30.

The lesson I learned last year was “hope the best, prepare for the worst” You can watch the other video where >100lbs fish bit my #60 setup. I got criticized a lot for using light setup. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-py3kNQv1hTw.html

@user-jc4yv7eg7c Thank you for watching the long video and your comments are well taken. There’s always a trade-off between light vs heavy setup and especially I agree with you that you have to get bit to begin with. That fish refused to come up above 100ft for 30minutes and therefore that 2 clicks… and getting tangled probably damaged the braid and ended up snapped.

​@@BTC_SFide expect the captain to chase down the fish if your drag was screaming and getting spooled!

I’m using low gear. Each fish took like 5 min. I don’t use rail for 30# fish
