2nd greatest catch of my life second only to Laura!
Epic bro, can't thank you enough for making this happen
You sure know which side of your bread is buttered 😊❤️

Way to team up on a badass fish!🎣👏
Great job you knuckleheads rock! Great video 👏🎣
I'm pausing this at 13:00 just to say how much I love an appreciate the giggles that come out involuntarily when any fisherman gets into a dream fish. I can totally relate.
Congrats...!!! Something to remember for life..!!!!!!!!!! 10 years ago my first Bluefin was in the Bahamas.. 450 lbs. We (4 guys) caught over 3000 lbs in 3 hours... 4 guys wiped out by tuna
danggggg
I haven’t seen this guy’s channel in a while but I love the way you’re so humble and congratulations on your BFT!
As an old Bay Area fisherman I can't believe you guys caught that tuna so close in. I haven't fished there for about 40 years. We use to have to go 50 miles out of Santa Cruz for Albacore. Congratulations to all of you!.... Mike in Minnesota.
I was on edge watching you guys trying to gaff it in. Great to see you guys close it out.
I never thought in a million years that Bluefin Tuna would be caught in the Bay area! The Sea Of Cortes in Mexico and Southern California, yeah, but Northern California? How Epic, and what a adventure! Great team work!
You and me both! Amazing to see these fish in our home waters.
This isn't something to celebrate tbh. This is a grim sign of the future health of our oceans.
@@nomadhomad3685 valid point. The oceans are heating up.
@@nomadhomad3685 Not sure these bluefin being around in record numbers is a bad thing. Its a great thing actually! These bluefin were endangered, but since regulations on commercial fishing have been much more strict in recent years, everything is thriving. Never seen so much life in our ocean the last few years. The earth works in cycles. Before humans roamed, places like Alaska have been tropical in the past and South America has been arctic in earths history
i was catching 100+lb bluefin 25 years ago 12 miles out, bay area, this is nothing new@@nomadhomad3685 .
that lancet fish you guys caught a deep water fish one of only less than 20 caught they say off san diego since 1947 !!! the last one in 1996, might give the fish and game a call, share the video, they might be interested
nice tuna!!!
Congratulations, my first bluefin was 240 pounds 2.5 hours. I fought it for two hours before I handed the rod off. My hands cramped so bad that night I couldn’t sleep and I was sore for a week.
Thats epic!!!! haha
Mine was 20 pounds, took me 15 minutes. Pretty anti climactic.
Catching 20-60 pounders is a great time! Way less painful than catch cow bluefin.
@anthonypaim5469 I had a blast, they pull pound for pound more than any fish IMO. At least that I have experienced in SoCal.
They don’t quit, I tell everyone catching a cow tuna is like hooking a Toyota pickup and fighting it until it runs out of gas.
Great battle! So rewarding after losing a couple. I noticed the Scotty downrigger brake is broken, you guys had to use a pair of pliers to let the line out. Scotty will ship you a new brake, or if you ship the downrigger to them they will replace it for you. I live about 15 minutes away from them, happy to help if needed.
Wow!! What a fish 🐟! Thanks for sharing the adventure! Bucket 🪣 list!
The journey of an epic catch. The way you put this story together was perfect. I would imagine this will probably get more views than when you were hit by a boat.
That was the most epic video Adam so far since I been watching your videos. Awesome shots of the catch and great teamwork. Aloha from Kansas.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite vid yet of yours Adam!! I too landed my first Santa Cruz BF this year. Definitely the highlight of my fishing passion!! I still can’t believe you guys went out there with 1 sardine, drifted it, and landed that 200 plus pounder!!! Absolutely insane!!!😉💪🤙
I watched every single minute. Entertain the entire time. I laughed with you guys especially when you finally landed it!
Thanks for watching!
I grew up in the bay area I had no idea that blue fin could be had out there AWESOME job guys
The Dorado made it all the way to Oregon this year… crazy, surprised you didn’t hook up on any this year
Exciting n to show how easy it is to lose them just builds up the anticipation n excitement. This is why I don't play with my fish. My bottom line is to bring it in as fast as possible to prevent any mishaps n believe me, I lose record size fishes b4 n never learn. My set up is just 17 lbs p line n I use it for everything in the delta. 25 lbs salmon n 22 lbs striper my biggest landed but the one that got away popped my line n those are even bigger. I never learn because my rod is only a medium action rod. Great trip n exciting clip this one is. Just like nascar, hate to say it but some folks go to see a wreck. With this clip, the more you pass that rod to folks n the more times the fish runs, I was for sure that line will pop somehow. Got me super stoked. Till next adventure Adam.
I watch all of your videos. That was, by far, my favorite!
Guess I'll have to catch another one just for you!
kayak fish that beast? sheeeeit...you'll see Hawaii before it's reeled half-way in 😂
Don't try it. We need you around to do more great vids.
Epic fight Adam! I grew up game fishing a lot and a big fin screaming off never gets old. There is really nothing like it! I can't believe you guys fought that first one so long without either of you wearing a gimbal or harness either! Def put one of each on your Santa list my friend ;) Makes the world of difference when battling those barrels!!
WHAT A CREW!!!!! Working together to land this "bull" had to be incredible and as it is on film ... SO much the better!! Well done guys!!
Here in Alaska, I carry a harpoon on the boat for fish this big. Good job, nice teamwork, getting this to the boat.
I been watching your videos for about a year now. That was amazing good job.
Hell yah! Usually it takes a few trips to hook let alone land a 200 lb plus BFT with more in the 80-100 range. Glad everything on the leader held up on the beasty BFT. Poke bowls for the next year plus.
Bro congrats on your fishing adventure tanks for posting your videos tanks for your time have great day out there tanks
To say I'm jealous is an understatement! Thanks for showing us how it's done!!
What up Nick. My son and I are down to do some surf fishing with you bruh
Yours is next!
You could really hear the joy and happiness in their voice when they got it in the boat. Congrats on a hell of a catch 👏
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations!!!!
Until you’ve caught a bluefin tuna in your backyard you will never know what a fantastic feeling it is. I was LUCKY ENOUGH to get one this year as well. Went 1-2 on a solo trip lost the first one after 25 minutes. Once you’ve been touched there’s no turning back. Definitely one of my new targeting species for home waters. Nice toad!!!✌🏻✌🏻
they're awesome they catch a big fish 🐟 😊
You see foamers you gotta get in there and go “Surface Irons Only “‼️🍻👏👏👏
Bless you all absolutely epic.
Congrats! Bluefin is on my shortlist of species to catch next.
If there is an Academy Award category for fishing vidios, you're a shoe is. Edge of my seat all the time and excellent, smart narration. Thanks.
Dang! You thought out that intro very well brother. Covered all the bases. Wind wind wind!!!!!
Yeah I spent a good chunk of my day editing that 60 second clip lol
@@DieHardFishing well done and time well spent. You caught everyone up to speed who might not have known anything about bluefin in NorCal.
I literally stood up and clapped when you guys landed that monster. After the first fight, I went and popped a bag of popcorn cuz I knew I was watching this one straight through. Congrats on checking this one off the bucket list. If you are ever in need of an extra person for another trip, I volunteer as tribute......just sayin 😆
You are my hero! Thanks for sticking it out with us!
This was EPIC! Congrats to all of you! Just in case you felt like this wasn't enough of a challenge, there are rumors of possible NorCal sword fish (deep dropping) :).
Challenge accepted! haha
There are swordfish in Nor-cal.
nothing like catching a bluefin tuna. caught my first one in San Diego this year. Definitely addicting!
Same I thought I had a yellowtail on so I was horsing it in. Ended being like 40 lbs lol. First ever bluefin
Epic content! 🙌🏼 huge CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations it was a lot of fun just to watch that video. Best fishing video of the year
they're having fun
Wow! No way a kayak can land this size of a fish! AWESOME!!!
see ''sdfishandsips'' and eat your words.
thats so awesome, congrats Adam!
Maaaaaaaan, I just went out on Ryan's boat for the first time today. He mentioned the Bluefin and I hopped on UA-cam to look it up. What an insane experience y'all had. That was amazing. The feels when you finally got it on the boat, wow!
Best video yet! Love the jokes and team work among you 3.
It truly was a team effort, couldn't have done it without those guys and gals!
One bait.. one bluefin. Easy math. Very nice work.. especially for a group that's never caught one. Very entertaining video.
Covered all but what if any is the size limit on west coast. East coast 73 in. All that said awesome catch!
no size limit on the west coast
Congrats on catching a bucket list fish... team work makes the dream work
best video you've done. great edit, great fish. Was filled with suspense. i managed a 96 lb yellow one time, p.s. nothing good comes from tightening your drag!!!! i was yelling, dont touch that drag!!! if anything, loosen it before a gaff of the head hits the surface, because you know what happens once a fish gets hit with a gaff!!! Thanks Adam
Crushing the monster on the Makaira too! Great job guys.
You guys need a harpoon!! Congratulations boys, lifetime achievement right there fellas !! Nice job!
Great job i live in modesto ca its so exciting thinking that we have new oportunites i love your videos man i better start working out thanks for all your effots adam i really apreciate you
Take clicker off before reeling in, just wears it.
You guys are crazy," hold Adam he's not going anywhere" funny stuff 😂👍🎣
Stoked for you Adam!!
Outstanding Adam!!
Five-star video production and five-star catch on this one. Congrats. You've got the whole deal figured out.
Congrats gents that was SICK!
Congratulations on your bluefin!!!!
Adam, great Bluefin.
On another note, watch sonar for dummies, great guy, like you, very generous with valuable info. Mike Smedley. You won’t regret the time invested. Quality you tuber.
Tight lines to you, Ted
WOW!!!.. good job, that's what I call a fight.🐟
Yes, the power of nature can be humbling. Amazing catch and land....
ive gone long range out of san diego a few times....never would i believe a cow bluefin would be landed in the bay area. you guys muscled that fish in.......perhaps use the rope at the finish next time. i was a bit worried the tuna would slip out of your hands and back into the ocean.......but you guys found monster energy to pull it over the rail. good stuff. enjoy the sushi.
The adrenaline was pumping for sure haha
Congratulations, that’s awesome
Great video! Great fish! 🎣👏
So cool Adam I’ve lived here my whole life and saw pics and heard stories but to watch you guys and feel the excitement let alone actually landing a giant for our waters it was truly amazing thank you
I appreciate you for watching!
Greatest fish, lifetime EPIC memory…loved the time I got to spend watching…😊
Beyond epic, my palms were sweaty! Great to hear the whole process over the years as well
Great job documenting it all. Hats off to all of you. Dunno why their are Die hard fisherman Haters out there. They can suck it😊
I agree haha
Congrats!
Jesus Christ that’s ridiculous! Congratulations to all of you! I’ve missed out on tuna season for the past couple years because of school but you better believe it if they come through next year I’m going out!
See you out there!
EPIC VIDEO Adam!!!!!! That reel was literally SCREAMING!
Great video Adam. Magnificent fish! Thanks for editing the colorful language. I enjoy being able to share your videos with my kids.
Of course! I try my best to make my videos enjoyable for all audiences!
Nice fish out of Santa Cruz✨
Definitely not new to the Bay Area but awesome when they show up. Water temps, and hunting them down when it’s time. Nice catch and good job finding them blue fins.
100 percent huge! Confirmed giant 😅 Funny stuff ha!
Adam, so glad to see you land your first Bluefin in true Diehard fashion 😁. It would been funny to hear you say while fighting that beast: Oh, Mommy this is not a halibut, not a halibut. Great job 👍
Way to go from a retired tuna fishing captain out of Dana point calif.!
Congratulations on your fist Bluefin tuna. It was hard to get your first one, but your persistence paid off. I can tell that your preparation was there from the first Bluefin that you hooked. I can't bug you anymore about coming down south to catch Bluefin. 🔥💪🔥
Great job, Gents!!
That was one fun video with a very scientific intro.. Live long and prosper!
wow, amazing job. great teamwork, for a group of guys who have never caught a big tuna, you managed to land that one, kudos.
thanks!!!
Hahahaha......great stuff......hard to gaff those big guys isn't it?...LOL
Congrats on the monster tuna man! That’s an epic catch!
tip: when your fish is on color and doing the death roll leave your rod on the rail and put the reel on low gear watch the tip of your rod and reel when the rod is coming up no need to pump the fish at that moment, that's why you lost it, pull on them hard and steady! never let the line go slack!
Thanks for the tip!
Amazing bluefin Adam!!!! keep up the killer vids brother! 🤙
Wow, that was so fun to watch! Now, you gotta get yourself a boat. Congrats on landing that bluefin.
Congrats Die Hard!! Bucket list fish in your home turf.. I enjoyed the Video and great team effort on that catch.. 👊🏻
Congratulations! What an epic fish and memory. Thanks for sharing
Big congrats to everybody on that boat! Sashimi for days! Enjoyed your catch!
Awesome!!! The adrenaline crash had to be massive when it finally came. I bet you slept well. Congrats.🐟
Homie had the gaf out at 14:00min mark! 😅yah rite this ain’t no coho smoho 😂
Nice rip boys
Congrats all! And, Thank you Mr. Tuna!
Good going Adam…that one is still on my bucket list..great catch and thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Very impressive catch! Fun to watch
That was big far, your best video. I love your videos keep making Content
This by far is every fisherman’s ultimate dream quest. Congratulations Adam! What a fantastic experience and amazing team effort. Look out @Wickedtuna, #BayAreaBluefin are coming for ya outer bank boys!
Thanks for watching! Best believe I'll be back out there!
My son Bilal and I have been enjoying your fishing quests for the past 3 years and it has brought our relationship to a whole new level. Just wanted to say thank you for your quality videos and tremendous efforts. We hope to fish with you someday. That would be absolutely amazing. Keep up the great work Adam. It has definitely made a positive impact in my life as well as my son’s. 🙏🏽✌🏽
That is awesome!!!! I hope to see you out on the water sometime!
I love this video!!!!! I was excited!!!! Lol
Impressive bluefin and I wish I was living on the west coast to get a chance at one! Nice catch and thanks for sharing your experience with everyone!
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you for the video. We were cheering along with you guys. Sashimi Party 🎊
Congratulations
Amazing vid to see you guys catch both a lancetfish and a tuna. I was fly fishing at Ocean Beach in SF a while back and a sick/dying lacetfish washed up right next to me - one of the wildest things I've ever seen.
Jeff and Ryan and I have all fished together recently actually - Jeff's a good friend and he sent me pics of the historic day. Proud of you guys! What an awesome first. Would be fun to get out there together at some point.
Sup Henry you were on the boat for my 2nd most memorable fish lol.. 🦈
@@fvgamechanger hahaha whaddup man! I gotta get out with ya again!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
