Man this gets me exited I’m 14 and was supposed to go for my 13 birth day trip got canceled and a year and a half later still have not but videos like this give me hope and get me excited Great content keep it up
No low speed is okay if you can short stroke the fish. American angling legend, Martia Bierman was the best. Her record was 15 minutes for an 800 lb bluefin. A good black magic harness and gimbal belt is needed obviously
15 minutes of the boat backing down to the fish is no big deal. I’ve caught many marlin and the boat always put it in reverse and backed down on the fish
Would a fathom 25 and fathom 15xnld2 cover most flylining requirements for tuna? I want to have my fathom 25 capable of 50-100 pounders on fly and the 15 for 20-60 grade. What lines would you recommend for both of these I currently have 50 on the 25 and 40 on the 15. I was wondering if maybe 65 on the 25 would be optimal? Thanks man love the channel.
Nice video I’ve always learn a little something from you commenting on the anglers. I’ve learned a long time ago little reels have little drags. When that little drag gets too hot the reel will lock up for a moment.
Over here on the East Coast they won't let you on the boat with nothing less than 65 lb line but preferably 80 lb so it is braid backing than 100 yards of mono mandatory. No spinner reels aloud for tuna only for squid and Mahi. Ps for is it is 1 bluefin tuna per boat and not person so we don't really go out for bluefin.
The hardest part of those rods is that they’re pretty short and it can be hard to keep the fish out from underneath the boat. Especially near props and rutters, you have a higher chance of having something bad happen.
Gezzus Christ in a Handbasket! I'm 53 now and have been fishing So.Cal cattle boats since the 80s. Loooooong before braid and reels with 40lb drag the size of your fist. Anyway, I haven't fished in about 5-6 years for health issues, but now I see it's a totally acceptable and actually promoted to just lay your rod on the rail? Geezus. If any of you youngsters knew how "cringy" that was back in the day. 1st, it was a sign of weakness and disrespect to the fish since we have all the gear, and we're the, you know, Apex predator of earth. #2, it was very disrespectful to the boat owner (private especially). 3# it was a pride thing, you don't hand off your fish, and you don't "rail" the fish, or the fish won. EVERYTHING in life has become "nerfed" as they say. Some of you Millennials might get triggered, that's good...just show you understand how inferior you are. LOL.
Ps., this new "rule" was actually created by the big cattle boats to land more fish, and get more people on the boats who normally would know they're not going to pay premium $$ to BFT fish because they physically can't handle it. THATS OKAY! It's okay to not be strong enough to do something! This is exactly why so many people die on Everest... it's all designed around the $$.

Talk about a legend!
I use low gear as often as I can. Go with heavy gear 25-35lb of drag and man handle the fish.

So awesome to see big models chewing in daylight hours!
Right! Getting pretty stoked about summertime!

Hey this is some really good fishing now good to see the bluefin coming up in the daytime really good programming here very good
Thank you!
So the fast pitch rods will kill fish super fast...Monster leverage and drag capability.
Great video lots of good information. Keep up the great work. Still trying to find a trip our schedules meet up. Hopefully sometime soon
Thank you! Hope to see you on the boat soon!
Those jigging rods putting in work!
Definitely!

The rail is your friend
Man, got me itching to go out and fish on the Legend again.
Come on out!!
Thanks
Glad you liked the video!
How do these parabolic slow pitch rods follow the fish on the rails?
The hardest part of those rods is that they’re pretty short and it can be hard to keep the fish out from underneath the boat. Especially near props and rutters, you have a higher chance of having something bad happen.
Jig stik=blufin?...oofff ouchie
Yipe yipe yipe yipe yipe yipe yipe
right! he handled it like a champ though!
would a penn fathom 40 with 80lb briad full and a phenix axis 720 x2h would be ok for the nite time jigging?
Yeah should be ok, heavier setup preferred but I’ve seen 160 lb fish caught on 80 lb line and a single speed reel
We agree! It’s on the lighter side, but you can get away with it!
@@FishTheLegend thank you
1st...lol 👋 👋 guys...good stuff!!
thank you!
