Bluefin Tuna Fishing in Half Moon Bay: Part 2: NorCal trip - Controlled Chaos.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Fishing 247 channel.
Today I went Bluefin Tuna fishing with my friends Josh and Eddy on my dream boat Bay Runner 20ft Baja. We launched out of Half Moon Bay harbor, Pillar Point. We fished 35 miles North West of Maverick. We mainly used Madmac lures to troll for Tuna. Please watch the video and let me know in the comment below about the video or any questions you may have. I really love to read all of your comments.
It was the trip of my lifetime. I had a great time with my friends. I really appreciate Josh for working on my boat and putting me on the Tuna on my boat. I am just a beginner at Tuna fishing and have learned a lot from Josh and Eddy about this new type of fishing. I do not 100% agree with how Josh fights big Tuna, but I admire for his guts to break Tuna's will to fight.

T Talking screaming reels was your clicker, sorry it's primary function is p/t free spool. you 3 talk the talk, as far as skills, very little. As far as safety too many to count! NEVER EVER GRAB A HOOK FROM A LIVE FISH! NOR PULL A BIG FISH WITH A GAFF IN A SMALL BOAT, THAT WAS DUMB!
Hello brother. Thank you for taking your time to write a comment. As I always say, I love to read all the comments and appreciate everyone to take times to write them. I will Pin your comment on top so we can all learn one way or another. I do not have any bad intentions to put your comment on top.
To respond to your comment, I have never told me kids they are dump because they make a mistake or did something wrong. I believe there is a way a civil way to help a person to learn from a mistake. I just go into BFT fishing so I still have a lot to learn and I am glad and appreciate when you or anyone show me my mistake and I will correct and be a better fisherman. I don't care what others said about the clicker should be on or off. I always love to have my clicker on even if it damage my reel. I love to hear the reel screaming and it give me joys. Each person have a preference of how to fight a fish.
We have never said anything about how good we are in the video. We were just be ourselves and enjoyed our times on the water. To me, it is blessed just to be on the water with friends I enjoy with and catching fish is just a cherry on top. Of course our skills can't compare to many BFT fisherman out there and we are learning. We have been blessed with catching BFT for every trip we have gone on our boats.
You can't just watching the video and can draw a conclusion of the whole picture. We did kill the fish before we took out the hooks. I edited the killing scene out because many people do not want to see or get offended by it.
I do not see anything wrong with pulling the fish with the gaff into my little boat. I would really appreciate if you could tell us why it is wrong or dangerous so we learn instead of calling us DUMP.
We are all just human beings and we all make mistakes in our life. If you show us in a civil way to correct our mistakes I really appreciate. I do not hate you or your comment because just your comment. I don't know you and I don't want to judge you. I would love if you say hello to me if you see me. You are just a friend I have not met yet. I do appreciate for your time to write me a comment. Good luck fishing and smile because we are all beautiful when we smile.
@@Fishing247 thanks for a reply,telling it like it is.
How else are u gonna land a bft in a small boat that has no door to bring the fish in or using a rope
No bft will fit in a net
Good safety comment. Better response. Very pc.
You need to dispatch the fish while it is in the water. Bat, spike, hammer, anything to kill the fish before the fish is brought into the boat. A fish that is over 50 lbs, can break legs if it wakes up and you have no room to get away from it. If you have three people fishing, I would have 3, probably 4 gaffs. With the small boat with less people on the boat, I would have a harpoon. This is especially true if you fish on your own. I've gone tuna fishing by myself, and needed all my gaffs, and wished I had my harpoon that day. Now I always bring it. And the more fish you land the easier it will be to put real pressure on the fish when it's straight up and down. I think inexperience makes anglers worry about losing their fish when it's close to the boat. But in truth, if you are fishing with 100-130lb, which you should be using if you have a 50W, then you can put a lot more pressure on the fish. Once you got vertical you can tighten the drag past strike. You can control the fish, and less time to land it, means the no lactic acid build up, that isn't good for the overall product . I am too old to have to keep bringing in the same line over and over again. Congratulations on the victory @@th3rmalvison445
Tighten your drag also .150 test you are not going to break that line.I notice small gaff also
Thanks for watching and your advices. I know. BFT is my new thing and just want to take it easy and not to horse them. I usually set the drag at 30#. I know the gaffs were small but I am comfortable with the small gaffs. I will buy bigger gaffs when I save enough money lol.
As long as he's taking line he's working,if he stops you have to put pressure on him, keep him working 👍 I can imagine it's frustratstrating having him take back everything you gained ha!
Tough game fish fighting for his life, but he'll get tired as you guys know 😅 Cool video 🎣
Absolutely. Thanks for the tips.
Nice video but sound needs to be improved shut off the Clicker it was hard to watch with all that noise. With all that excitement, I’d rather hear what you guys are saying gets me feeling like I need to be in the water. Thank for sharing you great trip. “FISH ON”
Thank you Ralph for watching and take time to write me a comment. I understand many of do not like the clicker sounds, but I love to turn it one because it exited me and it help me to fight the fish better. I can't make everyone happy and I will make me happy first. I really appreciate for your time. Just get on the water and do what you love and enjoy. Safe fishing
Wow awesome catched. Beautiful fishes and really nice boat😉😎
Thanks brother. Hope you will get on my boat soon.
Good fishing right there Thuy and sure is a team work👍🏽👊🏽
Thanks brother. We had a blast. So blessing.
Holy Smokes, you did it, you not only got one fish, you landed two, good job, wow, that's awesome, big fish, how much did the big one weight.
I was surprised too. Super lucky. The big one around 200#. Thanks for watching. I hope to catch one this year.
Only suggestion would be to brain those fish immediately. It could really hurt you if it started dancing around.
But well done, that's some serious fish. Oh, I noticed you were out of HMB. How far out were you?
Thanks for your suggestions. We were 35 miles straight out from HMB. At the edge of the canyon. 8 miles south of farralon. We did dispatch the fish immediately. I just cut out the scenes. So people do not like it.
Hello Anh. I have an 18ft bayrunner not center console. Do you think I can get out there for tuna also? 15gal tank 90 Evenrude
Hello my friend. I love to respond to every comment. However, I can't answer your question because you already know the answer to your question. You know your boat, your motor and how your boat can handle on the water. You also know the range of your boat can go and how much gas you need for this type of fishing. The only thing I can tell you is trolling madmacs (average 12 g 14 mph) burns lots of gas. Good luck and safe fishing.
Guy in green jacket doesn’t know what he’s doing lol. Nice catch!
Thanks for the comment. He did not know what he was doing and caught 2 BFT. Imagining what happened if he knew what he was doing. Lol. Josh is my dear brother so don't talk shit about him. 🤣. He is crazy, but the best fisherman out there I know of and he knows how to bring in a BFT fast with a secret technique. Thanks for watching. I can check my bucket list for BFT.
What a butterball! Beautiful fish, congratulations 👏🎣
Thank you! 👍
Brotha congrats!!, new to bluefin and have been fantasizing about trying next year, what is the limit, isn't it 2 per boat per day? please school me on the limits, thanks! great video, I have seen other videos they catching more than 2 leabing me head scratching on the regulations, thanks brotha, I was binge watching bluefin fishing on youtube and I found a video where these guys bagged 6 BFT, I cannot imagine they didn't get destroyed at the docks by CDFW....... I don't know myself so I won't say which UA-cam channel, but wondering if 2 BFT per day is the understood max on a boat
Limit is two per person for California and there is no boat limits. The boat may have 3 guys so they can keep 6 fish. Thanks for watching.
@@Fishing247 interesting ......... as of 8-22-2023, I spoke to a CDFW agent and indeed confirm it is 2 per Angler Per Day despite the confusing online research, even their PDF was not 100% clear on it so yes 2 per day per angler is correct, Great catches BTW!! I have the email communication from a CDFW official stating this statement, they will fix their PDF I was told
Hi Thuy. Good job ! That’s it🐟🐟🐟charles😊
Lol. I will try mackerels again this Saturday
Your Best Video So Far For Me.
What A Stud.
Olive It.
Thanks. I am glad you love it. Just try to share the great moments with you.
Was that one on purple madmac? Nice fish #2😊🎣
No. It was pink. Thanks for watching.
I don't like it!! I LOVE IT!! So jelly. =*(
I LOVE IT... HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET ONE SOON.
Cool stuff! On my bucket list👍🎣
Go for it!
Brother Thuy!!!! I love seeing dreams come true. We’ll need to buddy boat next time and get fv_la_otra back out on the water.
Let's go buddy. You are welcome to my boat anytime and I love fishing with you. Josh, you and Luis made it happen for me. This is my dream boat. I will be happy if I get invited on your boat.
Awesome team work
Yeahhhhhh baby
Thank you. Lol
man when that reel screams, makes me want to reach into your video amd push that drag up to 30-35.😊
Haha. Lol. I had to fight with Josh to keep at at 25#.
am I dreaming? am I dreaming? lol
Yes. I am still dreaming 😀. Thanks for watching.
Thuy, super exciting and intense fight to catch those big tunas. Glad you got your dream fish in your dream boat 😊. When you described the action to me in person, the video was 10X more intense to bring up that first fish.
Thanks buddy. It is even different when we were fight them. It was nerve wrecking for the entire time fight the fish.
Thuy, you never cease to amaze me. You guys put on a DIY BFT show. Congratulations!!! 👏👏👏
Mr Q
Thank you for your kind words. Josh made it happen. I was just happened to be there at the right place and the right time and we been blessed. We have worked so hard for many years. Have invested in times, money, and emotional and it paid off. Thank you Sir for following us. It is great feelings to surrounded by many good friends and great viewers.
Good job guys you’re killing it. I hope I get something soon.
You will get them Oleg. You are very good with fishing. Thanks for watching.
Amazing job
Thanks.
Do you charter?
Sorry I don't and never want to.
Outstanding!!!
Thanks. I am glad you like it.
That aint 200lbs
Lol. Thanks for watching.
👍👍👍
Thanks😁
What kind of rod are you using on International 50 reel?
We just use cheap bend butt rods bought from West Marine. I don't know the brand because it belongs to Josh. I will ask him or he can answer you if he read this comment. Thanks for watching.
Great day!🎣👍
Yes it was! Thanks again for watching.
Hey Brother, you have to take me next time or I’ll follow you and take two Boats! Look like a Blast, glade for you and the THUYSANITY CREW!!
Thank brother. I am learning and will definitely try with you. I have all the gears for them. Thanks for your supports. Josh is the real crazy deal. Eddy and I can neutralize Josh craziness which make us the very good BFT crew. The Thuysanity Crew.
INCREDIBLE TRIP! Great job! That was fun to watch. Roughly how much gas did you use?
Thanks Chris. It was nerve wrecking for me for the whole time. You can't not believe it but I only used 23 gallons for 60 miles round trip and 4 hours of 14 knots trolling madmacs. My boat is very light so I have very good mileage. We can buddy up sometimes for BFT.
@@Fishing247 yeah lets buddy up for sure!!!! My boat is small too so safety in numbers. Thats great you used only 23 gallons. Yeah trying to gage how much extra gas to bring when I finally give it a try. And I know I will nervous too. Again great job
@@ChrisPfish2thank you Chris. I have 50 gallon tank and I can go as far as 70 miles out and can troll for 6 hours.
Very nice , congratulations
Thank you very much!
@@Fishing247 how far out were you ?
@@bennytayag3335 35 miles
CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! That first fight was insane!!! My all time bucket list to catch!!
I know. I was so nervous. I won't be scared anymore. You need to go fishing in order to catch them. 🎣🐟
@@Fishing247 I agree! Rockfish is open now. Would love you join you sometime around HMB!
was this a charter or personal boat?
Personal.
@@Fishing247 always good to have a friend in the bay with a boat haha
Wow, it’s so so so excited to get these tuna. You guys got lucky! Thanks for sharing the video. I shared it with my fishing buddies.
Awesome! Thank you!
Good Job Thuy!!! As mentioned before, YOU are on the Fish!!! The Tuna 🤴
Thank you buddy for your comment. It means a lot to me. We have been blessed with BFT. We are just all beginners and learn to catch them. We alwere just be there at the right place and time. It was a team works tha brought in the fish. Thanks Josh and Eddy for a great time. Hopefully you will get one soon when weather calms down.
Great video Thuy, thanks for sharing this experience!!
Hello Dan. Thanks for stopping by and supporting me. I am glad you like the video.
Hi Thuy
Another amazing video
Thanks for sharing. I hope to see you guys out there on the next weather break.
Mikemaria
Thank you Mike. We have been blessed. Three of us have invested money and minds, hard works and blessings. Hope to see you on the water. Let me know if you need anything.
Question why do yal keep the pole laying down while fighting the fish ? It might be better for yal to have the pole rise a bit more to keep a Ben in the rod and tension on the line it also helps you to see where the fish is going . But anyway a good video of the trip .
We lost a huge BFT last year in SoCal because the position of the rod was high. We learned our lesson and got the bend butt rod and it was so easy to fight the fish in that position. It may looks awkward in the video but it works great that way and we caught two nice fish without any issues. Thanks for watching.
Congrats AnhThuy. Those are some nice tuna. Take me with you bro lol great catch!!!
Thanks. We were Just blessed.
Cảm ơn anh đa chia se Chúc anh ngày mới vui ve anh nhe
Cám ơn.
Congrats Anh thuy!! What’s your boat max speed? And how long did it take u guys to get to the spot?
Thank you Long. I can get to 35 mph. Took us 90 minutes to get there. 35 miles straight out from HMB and 8 miles south of farralon.
Bro tucked away the smoke for the kids. Very considerate.
Thanks for the comment. Our kids today see people spoke everywhere. We can't hide from them. It is up to parents to control what their kids are watching. My channel show no kids under 18 watch my channel and I declared with UA-cam that I don't make my videos for kids. I do not like people smoke because I quit smoking for 15 years. However, I don't mind if my friends smoke on my boat. I always try to edit out most of the unnecessary killing fish, cursing, and other stuff, but I know one thing is that I can't make every happy with my video. I really appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching.
Hanapa'a!!!! Fantastic catches and teamwork! You guys deserve it!
Thanks. We are so different, but we are a great crew and work well together. Each of us complement each other.
Oh man that looks like a lot of fun. A lot of team work I see. Never been tuna fishing by watching these videos I want to give it a try now.
We had a blast. More than we expected. Thanks for watching. Just get on the water, relax, enjoy your day and catching fish is a cherry on top.
That was epic! To get 1 is a dream but to good drake tune is just unimaginable. Congrats on the awesome catch Anh Thuy!
Thanks. We were happy to get one and we were blessed with two. Very special day for me because it was on my boat for the first BFT trip.
Awesome! Great job! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching.
Omg lots of exercise to catch tuna but its worth , awesome ! So much fun 🐬🐟🐠.
Yes it was! Thanks Fe. Sorry. No mackerels last Sunday. I will try again when the weather is good. I even got sea sick last Sunday.
Amazing footage! Waiting for “color” is breathe taking…
Thank you Stephanie. You are right about fighting and waiting for the color was nerve wracking. So blessed with with the blessing.
What kind of boat do u have ?
I have a valco bayrunner Baja 20'. My dream boat. Just got it and still in working progress. Thanks for watching.
@@Fishing247 why did u choose an aluminum boat rather than a fiber glass just curious?
@@th3rmalvison445 I love Arima but expensive and heavy to tow. Aluminum is light to tow and sip gas. I like bay runner Baja because of high bow and sea worthy
That was SICK!!! Josh @saltyhooker5785 is the real deal. Congrats on putting 2 bft on your boat. What a great trip
It was so nerve wracking brother. We have invested so much money and emotions into this type of fishing. Our hard works, passions, dedications, patience and many days of no sleeping paid off. Thanks brother.
Which brand of the bag fish do you use to store that cow? How long is that bag?
The bag is 7' long and I don't know the brand because it belongs to my friends. I will find out for you. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations on a great catch! Lady Luck favors you sir! One small tip. High gear whenever you can, low gear whenever you have to 🤙🏼
Thank so much for your tip. I will keep it in mind. I am just the beginner for this type of fishing. I will have an open mind and learn as I go. Thank you again for your comment. I love to read and respond every comment.
@@Fishing247
You are welcome. It is only a tip. Do what works best. You have landed more private boat bluefin than I have! So far I have been 🦨. I wish you continued success! Maybe my BFT PB luck would change if I had you onboard my boat 🤣. Come on board, you would stay warm and dry on a cold wet day. Pilot house with a heater!
247 Thuy! How long was the fight for each one?
40 minutes for the first and 20 for the second one. We trusted in our gears, FG knots so we horsed them in fast.
Thích quá a trai. 1 mình a liệu kéo đc nó k?😅
😂😂😂. Người Việt mình hay lắm em. Sẽ có cách để đem cá lên tàu.
@@Fishing247 e thấy nó quá cỡ. A bán nó hay sao
Awesome Thuy! Congratulations. Nice thing about our “smaller” boats they get great gas mileage at those speeds.
Thank you. 70 miles run. 4 hours of 14 knots trolling = 23 gallons. I need to install 8 more flushing rod holders for BFT and albacores fishing.
@@Fishing247 hahahaha you got the Tuna Fever!!! It happens
It's harder to bring the fish in while the boat is moving.
Thanks for your information. We thought it is harder to run the boat while fighting the BFT. However. Josh's genious idea of glide the fish up high to fight so the fish don't do dead spiral/circle and it will be hard to fight time 300 yards straight down. That's was why we brought the big fish on the boat fast. I love Josh's technique. It is scary, but we trust in our gear to do that. Thanks for watching.
Hai con là vừa sức rồi ha anh, mỗi lần kéo lên một con thấy mấy anh hết sức hết hơi ^^
e chúc mừng các anh, chuyến đi tuyệt vời🤩🤩🤗🤗
Cám ơn em. Một con là vui lắm rồi.
Woooah... watching these is always a blast. Thanks Thuy
Thanks for stopping by.
Wow big bluefin tuna. Good job Thuy 😃
Thanks. We have been blessed.
what a beautiful fish, well done boys.
Thank you Sir. We were blessed.
WOW!!!!!!!!! Two monsters of the deep!! Epic Battle!! I would need a big electric reel to even try to bring one in! Good going guys! I'm doing the happy dance for you!
That would be cool! I really appreciate for your happiness Sir. I could not imagine how your dance looks like😊
@@Fishing247 Thuy, at this time in my life it looks like me getting out of the recliner! Maybe moving from one foot to the other? Depends on how my body feels! Enjoy your friends while you are all together, you guys always have fun! Gene
@@outdoorfreedom9778 awe. I agree with you Sir. I enjoy every moment I have with my friends.
Awesome video. Great team work guys!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Wow Wow Wow!!! Congrats Thuy on your dream day!! So happy for you. How many miles did you have to go out before you started to see the birds?
Thank you for support. We went about 32 miles before we saw lives/birds, whales, dolphins, sea lions and we started trolling around sitting birds. Josh is a real captain/fisherman. He is the BFT 🧲.
@@Fishing247 Wow 32 miles! Do you know how much gas you used round trip?
@@3one6tv 23 gallons
How far did you go out to find the tuna . Thanks
35 miles straight out from Maverick, near the canyon and 8 miles south of farralon.
Great job working on that fish
Thanks 👍.
wow, you need to have 10k subs
Thanks. Love to but not important to me. I am rich with so many people great people with me.
Wow, outstanding work, guys.
Thank you kindly!.
I can only dream😅
We have been blessed. It is still unreal to me.
Nice 130#. Congr
Thanks
Awesome catch. Way to go guys!!!
Thanks!!
Outstanding job Thuy and brothers , like pros now!! Love it , good times on the water !! Million Likes and good vibes from Frank in Riverside CA
Thank you Frank. We are good brothers who enjoys good and tough times together. We were blessed with these special fish. You are the reason I still making videos. Stay safe.
That’s A Huge One.
God Loves You Guys me 2
Yes. It was the best moment of my fishing experience. Thanks for watching.
Great video! Your front hook on the madmac is upside down. Should be facing the other way
Thanks for the tip! All the madmacs I have have hooks that way. Thanks for watching.
Yeeeeeeww!!
BFT KING !!
Chovy and Moo are going to be jealous of that one..
Lol. Moo only care about squids and Chovy only cares about Salmon and butts so they don't care. 😂. Thanks for watching. I am blessed with friends and fish. 🙏
@@Fishing247 I live in Washington state and a BFT actually washed up on Orcas Island here in the San Juan's last week. You and Keith would love salmon fishing here. Funny how Moo prefers to eat bait rather than salmon but he is the Squid King !!!
Catch em all Thuy !!!
So cool!!
It is still unreal to me. Thanks for watching.
As someone who doesnt experience anxiety, the way you edited the video gave me anxiety! Haha
That was freaking AWESOME 👌 👏 👍
We created memories and story and Korean drama is always good to watch. Lol. Nerve wrecking to watch again even I knew the results. Thanks brother Josh for making my dream come true, both the boat and BFT. Love you brother. Sending you big bear hugs.
Hella dumb lol
Do what make u happy i like that
Nice job guys yeeeee
Lol. Thank you so much.
