85lb Tuna on a Popper Caught in 3 Minutes

- I fished on the New Buccaneer (Galveston Party Boats) in December 2022. The second cast I hooked an 85lb Yellowfin on a Strike Pro Tuna Hunter Junior popper. It was too dark to get the footage of the strike or the fish thrashing on the surface but I was able to record the fight. I was using a 20K Stella on a popping rod with heavy drag and was able to get the fish to gaff in less than 3 minutes... The fish had engulfed the popper which probably prevented water flow over its gills. When it came out from under the boat, it was completely on its side!
I spend most of my time thumping for striper on Texoma but I love these offshore tuna trips!
Striper fishing is amazing right now, so if you don't have a thumper, order yours today...

I do make a commission from each sale, but have hopefully created a one stop shop for you to find everything that you need! If Amazon does not carry the product or the price is crazy, I listed links where you can find them or just listed the names so you can grab them at your local tackle store.

Very nicely done! Short, sweet, direct and to the point. Cast, hook, crank, gaff, land. Great job buddy.
Thanks! It was a brute fight but awesome! The longer the fight the higher the risk of something going wrong!
Nicely done!!

Thanks Ivan! I was very lucky!
