Bluefin Tuna Hookup screaming drag 2020 

Where's this at..

brown coConut Victoria Australia mate

THE MAN SITTING IN THE BACKGROUND LOOKS DEJECTED. "GOD, WHY NOT ME?"

ever caught one off the stones?

I always adjust the drag, before I send out the bait. Once you start playing with it at the fight, sometimes you can over do it, putting way to much pressure on the line. Anyway it's live and learn, I feel your pain, it's gut wrenching, next time.

Sorry about the late reply and couldn’t agree more mate. However the weight on the 5500 isn’t too bad but in saying that doesn’t mean I can stand and cast it for 2 hours straight! It does have a solid drag but where I was fishing you really need to pump this fish in.

Love you comment mate 👌 yeah I think the safest option would’ve been wire but didn’t think it was going to be this intense haha. Hopefully after all this crap is over we all go out and have a few crazy hookups 😁

@@BoltImpact that's what keeps ya going!! I got the saltiga 4k sounds soo good and smooth moments like that is when you need the top quality gear👌 next time mate!👍

That’s an awesome reel as well man 😀 can pretty much pull anything. That’s it bro you loose some and win some ayy next time for sure.

caranx89 Hi mate, I had about 3 meters of 100lb black magic leader on 50lb jbraid. Balloon was out about 200 meters out and I had to apply a little more drag because I recon I had about 70 meters of line left. Very unlucky 😕

its some sort of diawa, a monster mesh or a saltist hyper both $299 the reel is a diawa saltiga expedition 8000 which is $1349 and the line i think is daiwa j braid :)

Richmond Daque hahaha no he didn’t seem to care at all 😂 love the comment.. no one else picked it up haha

Thanks mate 👌 perfect spot to have the fish kicking for a few hours.

JCS Fishing Adventures Thanks mate. I was using 50lb main line and 100lb leader. The leader gave up at the knot where the hook was. The drag was a little tight but at one stage I had about 70 meters of line left.

@@BoltImpact ok thanks for the info

urmailingalen This reel has 20kg of drag but never had to fully lock it. Max I’d use is about 12kg but depends on my leader at the time. I always have 50lb braid on that reel and usually run no more than 180lb leader.

Yeah Decent size tuna can give you a melt down. Very unlucky though. The ballon popped during the fight and the rest will dissolve in the water. Hooks should rust and brake off in 3-5 days 😊

Estong Uacon Was in the water for about two hours before I got that hit.

That's usual time. Only a lucky craft anglers can do a lucky first cast...

Yeah I get disappointed every time I see it haha. I’ll hopefully land one on the next trip. Cheers mate

FishingFrenzy same here, gutted for you. You were smooth and pretty calm, you couldn’t have done anymore mate.

demoCRAPS suck hey thanks for the tip mate 😀

Yu Sry thanks bro yeah it’s Victoria Australia mate

Jamie Doherty Thanks mate 😀 yeah was a clean cut but I recon my leader cut off from the pressure where the hook knot was or I got sharked. I saw the splash when the squid first got hit and it wasn’t a shark take or a shark fight but I could be wrong mate. I was very unlucky and still breaks my heart every time I see it haha.. hopefully next time I have better luck. Thanks for watching mate 😀

Evo-fpv Hey mate.. find me on Instagram under FishingFrenzy and pm me

Hey mate haha yeah man video did go wild and I only wish I had landed it. We were actually fishing for kingfish but we know that bluefin tuna make a run through the area and when I had the ballon out about 200m the fish launched the squid out of the water on the attack and I could have sworn it was a bluefin, what made me even more sure was that I’ve had these same fights with tuna before but not to this extent. I just think I got sharked. I usually do a running second hook but didn’t think I was going to hook a monster haha. The reel had about 500m I took the balloon out about 200m and at one stage I recon I had about 80m left and it didn’t feel Like it was going to stop any time soon so I had to keep on applying pressure.. that was 50lb braid but I now have 60lb breaking at 80lb on it and I did mark the last 50m. I think your right 150lb leader would’ve been perfect and that’s what I’m going to do next time specially for live baiting where I don’t really need a smooth cast out of the guides. Hopefully this crap is over mate and we’ll T up a few casts 😀

FishingFrenzy defo a sick fish, got the bg 6500 with spare 8000 spool for different braid sizes for live baiting and gonna get another setup soon for some flicking. Honestly I couldn’t ever expect to hook a fish that big so you did everything well. Good job mate

Thanks mate. I’ve got the BG 4000 and they are built tough. The 8000 spool will be awesome for live baiting specially being able to carry so much line.

Pain & Injury Doctor I’m 100 percent sure it was. That’s what I felt that’s how they fight and it’s the season and area to target them.

Fishin' with Marki Mark I know ayy 😔 I’m back next Wednesday so we’ll see what happens 😀

Alexander Crudello thanks mate. Yeah your spot on.. hopefully better on the next hookup 😀

Apostolos Kokalis it’s a custom pe5 rod the reel is a saltiga expedition 5500 spooled with 50lb braid

@@BoltImpact mate I believe if you are actually trying to catch big tuna spinning reel gear is too light

@@jaredproffitt3720 hey mate. It’s been done with the same gear before but this big one was uncommon in the area. Usually they’re only about 17-20kg. To be honest it would’ve been pretty hard to land this being a 50kg plus at that location.

@@BoltImpact I hear you mate I just hate seeing you loose such an awesome fish, thanks for the video hope to see more

Hi mate, Reel: Saltiga expo 5500 Line: 50lb jbrqid Leader: 120lb black magic Rod: Custom pe 5

@@BoltImpact thanks buddy! Good luck!

30 meters away from the rocks I recon it goes down to the 15 meter mark.

It’s a Saltiga mate and only applying less than 50 percent of its drag so it will do it all day everyday for many years.

@@BoltImpact oh cool deal. I never caught a fish that big so didn’t know how hard something like that is on a reel. Badass video , great job.

Sase Redzovski than you... this was during the incoming tide

Fishing With Zara Heyyy sorry been flat out. Going fishing tomorrow so I’ll have an upload this week 🤙

Hey mate thanks heaps. I was always using 50lb Daiwa JBraid, although I later found Tasline was better. My setup was the Saltiga exp 5500H on a Daiwa hyper 792 pe5. Thanks for watching mate and God bless.

@@BoltImpact thanks for the information, I enjoy hearing about rigs the most. I subscribed and will watch plenty more. I am praying for Australia and America. Be vigilant friend Psalm 144

Melbourne Land Based Fishing thanks mate.. can’t wait to have another go at another one 🤙 soon 😀

This is a custom pe 5 rod. Cost $500 Thanks

Yeah that’s true mate. Thanks for watching 😀

Hey mate, most snap offs like this can happen at the knot between the leader and the braid and sometimes it can happen as a result of rubbing on rock or on the fishes teeth depending on where the hook is. This one I feel it was a result of too much pressure or I got bitten off.

mao xiao hey mate thanks heaps. It’s in Victoria and I’m sorry it’s actually of my spot to give out. Someone else wen through a lot of hard work trying to find it.

G'day mate I think I may know where his fishing spot is... It's Apollo Bay coastal reserve... Good Luck
