Avet SX Raptor and Daiwa Proteus on a 30# bluefin tuna 

Thanks bro!

nice fish dude

@@yo_sp33d34 thanks bro

Definitely going back on in the future, the captain tried to look for his own schools instead of following the fleet and tried his best to chase down the fish. Deckhand helped save me from the tangle and got a perfect headshot

@@DerrickVan yeah and on a foul hooked fish too. Not an easy fight or gaff job. I lost an easy 80-100lb yellowfin this past fall at the boat foul hooked with a verticao jig. Private boat on the east coast so very different but same idea. Actually think the front assist hook pulled during the fight but the rear hook caught the top of the fishes head somehow. 9/0 Shout Kudoku hooks are like needles. Went from screaming drag to pulling in a trash bag. Fish surfaced, made a quick turn, and I was left with nada. Would've released it either way but still sucked. Enjoyed watching.

Rod is super cool met him on the natuve sun this sunday

Thank you! I was using 25lb flourocarbon

Dream of mine to pinhead, maybe one summer when I'm not busy

Normal powerpro 50#

@@DerrickVan Thanks a bunch for posting this. Getting a Green one now that I can see it can handle it! Keep up the reviews! safely of course.

I still have this exact setup and I've caught a bunch of fish on it after all the years. Great rods!

@@DerrickVan I thought I saw you using the same setup in other vids, but wanted to be sure. Thanks.

Thank you! Personally when I first thought about buying with the MC feature I thought it was going to help, however I find it pointless now with more casting experience. I feel like it slows down the live bait and gives it unneeded resistance because even at its lowest setting mc is still activated. It's a cool gimmick until you never use it again. Avet doesn't sell raptor models without mc I believe

@@DerrickVan Thanks for the quick response!!! You helped me made my decision. I had a bad feeling that the mc would somewhat cause the freespool for live bait Yes Avet now sales raptor series with non-mc except the sx model.

@anonymous anonymous Glad I can help 👍

@tnphung thanks, I really like jigging more now lol, much easier in my opinion. I normally do like 7 short trips a year

No its the 76mhf

Love moderate fast for flylining 👍

I've caught bluefin up to 50lb on the reel and have no issues with line capacity, the high drag allows me to fish heavier line so it balances out the smaller capacity

@@DerrickVan what line do you have on their?

@@socalfishincrew5410 50lb

Yea it's kind of tough fishing on the boats, but I enjoy it though because you get to meet new people and no need for washing down boats, but you have to deal with 30 more people, so you win some you lose some. Thanks for watching my video man and thank you for your support!

dude did say “cut at the mono” I would have done the same thing the deckhand did. He should have instead said “cut the hook”.

Yup, I love it because it is like and affordable and the action is nice

Yeah, the deckhand cut off the dude's jig, that sorta sucked.
