That was one of the best 40 minutes of video watching that I have seen in a while. You really know how to not only find the action but also how to capture it on the video. Keep up the great work :)
This is probably one of the best fishing shows. I really enjoyed watching congratulations guys. I’m from Jersey myself. I’d love to see people do it like you just did unbelievable great knowledge and you taught some people what’s right and what’s wrong that’s a good thing. God bless more fish.
If I can tell you one thing man is that I LOVE your passion fishing!! You make the video so exciting and entertaining. You are a good fisherman too. Tight lines!!
We are an underwater light manufacture from Japan, we really love the content you make around fishing. We would gladly send you our high quality lights for your boats to experience the quality of it.
Great video (so far…lol). Watching right after the boat incident, tons of boats in area are shown. Is that pretty typical? Looks like you could cast to one at times…
23 Contender Tuna fisherman as well . we fish the Block Island Canyons. When we hook up , esp on BFT, we fight them up at the bow and maneuver the boat to keep the fish and fisherman fighting on one side of the boat and keep the fish away from the engines. Obviously not an option when doubled up but that is how we deal with the outboards like you asked.
I’ll start the motors when we hook up just so I can make small wiggles to keep fish off the stern. A lot tougher to do when you have two fish on obviously but can still usually make small heading changes.
Two guys. Two big tuna. Light gear. Kinda hafta focus on what you're doing. Plus we each fish this boat solo for tuna so we like to practice gaffing solo.
I would have been on the horn screaming at that skipper. Some people run over fish to get to the fish. I try to stay away from the fleet. itz a good day. When the loading the boxes and flying the flag, what a great day fishing
never caught a walleye. Def on my bucket list. Thanks so much for checking us out. Walleye fishing seems so darn fun. One of my goals is to get one in a fish shack in winter on ice
Yes they will respond to the poppers when they are busting like that. I honestly prefer when they rip a chunked bait out of my hand!! It's how we grew up
aw man this is nothing. We sometimes come back with 16 yellowfin or so. Nothing goes to waste. Our entire island of friends and family gets fresh fish for a few days. Zero gets frozen!
I have a 32 ST and never have that many rods on deck. Especially when it’s just 2 of us. You’re in a slick put 3 rods out and the other 12 rods away. God I hate filthy people.
This was our very first multispecies offshore trip on the Contender. I'm not really a CC guy, but We'll get the hang of it. I'm used to our 43 Ocean with lots of storage, space, etc. Thanks so much for checking us out. My boats are always filthy with blood n guts!!!
Every 1 supposedly run 100miles offshore. I run 5 miles off key Biscayne n catch all the fish I want..ohhhh I know u want a good video but tighten ur dragol
so cool you can get fish that close!!! Thanks so much for watching! Our drags are light because we are using very light leader. 30 lb to max 50 usually on these inshore fish. You'll break quite a bit off with a good amount of drag
From the 80’s in a 21’ center console fishing of fernandina beach, ne Fla. it’s an adventure, limited technology, paper fish finders and the newest thing,,,loran for navigating. Oh my were we brave going 40-50 miles from dirt. Anyway your raw unfiltered video reminded me of my youth and the friends❤️. We were kinda stupid by today’s standards but we caught fish!!! Anyway my boat always was mass chaos after braving the trip. Thanks for bringing back memories of my youth. And no matter where you are there’s always not safe idiots.
so cool man. That's kinda how our fathers fished in the 90s. Loran. Gas tanks strapped down. They had lots of good stories. I remember running out of fuel after an overnighter just a few miles off the beach. We caught flounder while we waited for the extra fuel
@@reaperfishingnj8623 I had a 21 foot Mako CC and would run over 40 miles out at night on a full moon to the Mango Hole. Had a Sitex Loran and a paper recorder. Loran antenna broke on the way out in rough seas. went fro 2 to 3 to 6 to 8'seas in just a few minutes. two hours out and almost 8 hours just to come in about 25 miles north of the inlet and just about out of gas but we made it. Never again! Think it was 1976 off Daytona Beach.
I always carry a air horn for those occasions... on a lanyard around my neck.. saved my ass a few times in the yak.. you make as much noise as possible until you see a reaction, all the while getting your ass out of their way.. everyone who's been in those situations, know you tend to say a few words you normally don't say.. looked like a fun day on the water..
That's a good idea, i was in my yak last year ,had a boater on plane heading right at me came down about 50ft away turned sideways waked me , gave me a dirty look along with his seahag wife then sped off. I was eating a sandwich 100ft from shore he just missed 3 guys raking clams and somehow almost ran me over.
You were correct to be upset at that huge boat running you almost over. It happens all the time in San francisco bay and ocean. I am in a smaller boat (22 foot boston whaler) so I know the feeling. good job and tight lines.
thanks so much for tuning in all the way from San Fran!! Appreciate it. Never been up that way. Was only in Cali once to surf down by the Trestles area
Thanks so much for checking us out. We killed our two man limit in no time. Didn't really have time to clean up the cockpit. Our main boat is a 43 Sportfish so we are still getting used to the CC game.
I’m amazed that you’re even able to land a fish given the cluster fuck of a boat that you have there’s everything in your way buckets and coolers and who knows what else with no room behind your leaning post and ransom how the hell are you guys do that shit without killing yourselves my Lord
We had intended on cleaning up the cockpit but got bit in no time. Had to capitalize on a good bite. And we are still getting used to tuna fishing from a small center console. Our main boat is a 43 ft Flybridge. That being said I think we made due just fine
Dude your crushing my hope Im heading out to the hotdog tomorrow and im hearing you complain about your back😮 i have a horrible back and now im having 2nd thoughts!! BTW Glass Christmas balls filled w Bunker oil capped withwacmake awesome "Deterrents" for boats that invade your Personal Space...they throw similar to a baseball
@@reaperfishingnj8623 Hey I survived LoL No Tuna but did hook up with a 7ft Hammer Head of course that's an estimate because I took the hook out while leaving the shark in the water!
Did notice the lack of yelling but you's are out of Jersey right? Yelling got no place in Jersey...Jussaying.....GREAT VIDEO....gotta get the mate ta gaf em....
I set all my drags using the brass Manley scale. I pull on a bent rod. But for the light tackle stuff a lot of it is by feel during the fight as well. I'll thumb it when i know i can gain line at the end of the fight
thanks so much for watching!!! And thanks for subscribing. We ran 70 or so north to the first spot. then about 35 or so to the canyon (Lindenkohl).....then about 72 back home
It’s awesome experiencing things others will never see or dream of seeing. Side note, what is fuel burn on the 23T? Do you guys bring a bladder with you? Thx
These are yellowfin tuna, not bluefin. 3 fish per man. Not a single pound was wasted. Our yield is shared amongst close friends and family. Nothing is frozen. Unfortunately I don't sleep too well, but that's a horse of a different color. Thanks so much for checking us out.
@reaperfishingnj8623 pay him no mind. He's trying to check you on rules he's not clear on. I'm sure you wouldnt be blatantly posting you and your crew braking the law. Let's see if he's man enough to apologize to yo.
