OFFSHORE BLUEFIN TUNA FISHING • Freedom Sportfishing 22nd Street Landing • Overnight Fishing 2020 

Don't forget to leave a like and subscribe to my channel if you liked this video! I fish on charter boats and I try to post all of my trips! Thanks for watching my video!

Congratulations on your first Bluefin! The deckhand, Rod, did an excellent job of staying with you, getting you out of a couple of bad spots, and making sure you landed that fish! Great crews make a big difference!

Wow, loved the part with captain taking, giving direction and thanks for sharing your tackle and gear.

The freedom has to be my favorite boat in the LA OC fleet!!

Nice!! I was on the Thunderbird that day too! I got 6 for 9 on the Bluefin.

I love how the guy who got you tangled in his slack line is telling you what to do 😂😂

Great job and I use to fish over there 30 year's ago and I need to come down from Seattle and gets some big tuna. Great video clip. Line's Tight my Brother ✊🖤😷

Great video man,thanks👍🎣😎

That’s awesome bro congrats on your first tuna

Old school with the Newell reel.

TINO is a great captain he tries his hardest to put you on the fish

Derrick, I'm here in NH. and we just got a foot of snow. I can't wait to go fishing.

Nice vid man I go on that boat every year and that a great boat thanks for the videos

What a feeling👊🏾

Great video man!

Thats a nice grade tuna!

You were lucky you went on Wednesday or Tuesday. It was wide open those days. On Thursday and Friday, it shut down hard for the entire fleet. Too much boat pressure and the fish were more gun shy. We went back the next week and the whole area was empty. We hooked up 7 fish that day in the same area. We told some friends and they went out next day and caught two 100lbs fish. There are some nice big ones out there mixed in. Life is good!

Love the video bro ....

DOPE!

So nice catch bro 🎣🔥

nice catch man, I'm 13 and I caught my first tuna (yellowfin) yesterday it was 23.8 pounds and 31.5 inches. Largest fish by 15 pounds

Good job

Only went on 2 half day charters out of 22nd a while back, 1st time got sculpin and 2nd time only got a perch and a smaller tuna. My niece and newphew comin out next month on 10/11-15th so we are gona go. Usually my friend i go with has the gear so this will be my 1st time rigging gear. A good friend of the family owns the Native Sun I believe outta 22nd so he"s gona hook us up with gear and a buy one get one ticket on the 1/2 day. Hope I catch some fish.

Nice video boss

nice video bro

Nice video

Again a great video of you, I'll see you next time at your video or at mine until then my friend☮🤝

When was this trip? I went out of Seaforth on an extended 1 1/2 day trip. We were skunked the first day but we were up in Catalina on Tuesday the 11th, and we were able to get boat limits on the bluefin. What seemed to work better than nose-hooking them was butt-hooking a sardine. Either way, from what I read these fish went AWOL by Thursday, and pretty much most boats had to go hunting on Friday.

I normally fish with big spinners with 30 to 40 pound test line so I bring a bait caster as well?

Derrick, Huge fish !!! Congrats !!! What line are you running and what rod??

Did the boat spot the blue fin boiling and that’s how you found them, or do you think with a fish finder ?

You think its worth taking my rod and reel, I have a pen 5500ss and shakespeare 20-40lb rated rod. It was given to me a while back and i am new on gear.. The catch is I only have 15lb mono on it. Supposedly brair is a nightmare on the 5500ss and is rated for 30 tops. I tried spooling 30lb mono and it just pops off the reel. I have someone lending my gear but I wanted to take my rod n reel but I'm afraid it's a little on the skimpy side with my line.

when fighting the tuna, try and keep your tip up, sometimes the tuna will swim right at you and then if you are pointing your rod at the tuna you’ll lose tension on the line, always try and keep your rod tip up so you don’t lose line tension. You were doing a good job of that at the end of the fight but at the beginning it was a little hairy.

What size Newell was your buddy using ?

This is a great video and what an experience! Only thing bothering me is captain talking in a enclosed space without a mask and multiple people without mask.

How did the SX Raptor perform overall? When you have the reel in the hand it looks TOO small and low capacity to handle the a tuna...

I'm on it my brother 🙏🍻😷how was the food and beers?

Nice.. Next time, let the fish run for about two seconds, put it gear and wind but don't set the hook. Let the fish set the hook themselves. If you let the fish set the hook, the hook will end up in the corner of the mouth if you use circle or J hooks. If you hooked the inside of the mouth, you're at the mercy of the teeth sawing your line off. You would have hooked up the first fish if you let it run with bait. Its not bass fishing where you yank at the slightest bite. They take the entire bait down and run with it. If you set the hook, they would spit out the bait if there is any slack. With tuna, you wind wind wind... Wait till the fish get up to 40 to 80 lbs. It would have rocked you. You would be crying for mercy. We were out in the same area in private boat about two weeks ago and hooked up some big ones from 35 to 45lbs. Once the weather gets better, we are heading out there again for more.

Did you bring just the one setup or more than one?

They should've just cut that guys line, the deckhand was taking too long. But congrats on your first!🤙🎣

Sup Derrick was this a full Day?

Oop that’s my best friend 😂

I'm hopping to do that this yrs

What did the captain say about Covid-19 practices? It looks like the video cut off what he was about to say. Also, since he's not wearing a mask, is he ok with people not wearing masks on the boat?

What day did you go out??

Great video thanks for the help... Any info is good to me im as greeeeeen as they come

Hello Derrick !! Haven't seen you much lately.

That fish took your friend to town and back lol

They don’t allow you to hold your fish ?

hello i have sw stella 14000 xgc is ok for tuna?

why cast when wind is blowing at your face. ?

I don't understand guys with spinning reels fishing for tuna. Why don't you buy a 2 speed reel and conventional rod 20-50lb.

Thak KID GASN'T. A CLUE WHAT HE'S DOIN?

don't ever eat the hart

How old are you

I was on that horrible trip he was talking about

No communication, that’s just terrible, how hard is it to speak up and say OVER and UNDER. I would’ve thrown his ass over board 😂

Terrible presentation.
