Epic Tile Trip. Huge 44 pound Golden Tilefish!!!

  • I continue with my very short break from tuna fishing to head out 60-75 miles for the beautiful golden and grey tilefish.
    These guys n gals live in mud/clay burrows anywhere from 250-1000 ft of water. Some akin the filets to lobster. While I absolutely love the meat, I wouldn't quite say it's that close. But delicious nonetheless.
    We get an easy limit of both golden and grey tilefish and end up with two slobs. One was 44 pound official weight and our biggest tilefish to date!!!
    Continue watching because the tuna didn't get too long of a break.....I've been beating them up pretty good since this last trip.
    Once again guys n gals....I am not a charter. I have a full time job which, unfortunately, has nothing to do with fishing. Thanks for watching!!!

    Do you need the drag in the reels you use or is it more just gear ratio and capacity?
    I cant see buying such a rig for something i may only do once a year at most.
    I have an Avet MXL with plenty of capacity but max drag 20lb with 5.8:1. Is that too high of gearing?

    • @reaperfishingnj8623
      @reaperfishingnj8623  Рік тому

      I think that will work just fine. We use the electrics because it helps us prospect new spots and bring in the bigger ones quicker. We sometimes only dedicate an hour or so on a tuna trip.

    Here is a tilefish riddle and true story. Long time ago I worked on commercial longliners for tilefish out of Montauk New York. Occasionally we would catch 2 tilefish with only one baited hook. How could that happen?

    I5s nice to know you can afford to go out there on a boat like that and relieve your stress.
    The rest of us with no boat, no money and 4 jobs trying to make ends meet will just get our kicks watching you guys relieve stress. Must be really hard on you guys.
    No one is envious, we just don't have the time to be. But we don't stress about it.

    Those rosies get a little bit bigger and are more than worth targeting when they are. From what I understand they don’t have much of a problem swimming back down. I know they don’t have the air bladder like most fish and will get back down on you in a hurry if they pop off the hook.

    Altough your video is 2 years old my questions are worthy.
    Do or dit you fish with fresh tuna and or squit covered with a neon artificial squit ?
    At what depth did you fish those big tile fish and those sozy ?

      @reaperfishingnj8623  Рік тому

      these fish have zero percent chance at surviving due to the barotrauma. so releasing them is kinda pointless. if you watch a little longer when we go to the deeper spot you'll see monster goldens.

    When bottom fishing for tilefish, tautog, seabass, do you use a leader line too connect the main line, or use the main line (braid) to connect straight to the rig
