@@LandsharkOutdoors I have been a fan for years, but admit I miss a video here and there. Until today I thought the camera man was Brooke's father. Lol. I swear.
I went fishing in PEI in '19 and my captain told me that in '18 he got a #1298 and he said he lost one that same day that was easily over #1500. I don't expect Fraser's record to be broken any time soon but they're there. That day I went, we got a #975 and a #750 (approx.) They told me that they can only keep 1 fish a year per license holder...sometime years more/depending. They kept the #975 and got $21lb for it.
I thought the thumbnail was photoshopped clickbait and I was going to unsubscribe as soon as I saw the fish, but um, yeah, it's not. You captured Jaws.
Three dollars a pound for a magnificent fish like that is just not right! Someone, somewhere down the line is making a killing and it sure ain't the fisherman. I don't get why you would even harvest a fish like that for that paltry amount of money. I sure hope these guys ended up near the ten dollar a pound price. I wonder what Adam from Moving Weight would think of these prices.
3 dollars isn't bad. Afew years ago buyers weren't taking them. If they did it was 99c a lb. It was cheaper to use tuna as lobster bait then actual bait
it's a sad reality but perhaps people have been catching on to the fact that due to bioaccumulation, these big apex predators are full of heavy metals and dioxins. No fault to the fishermen. It's a sad state what we have done to the oceans with coal power etc.
Great catch..!!!! In 2012 we caught 7 Bluefin. We sold one 400 lbs for $10,000 dollars to a Miami restaurant owner. We kept 2,500 pounds in 3 freezers for years to eat….!
This beats any movie I've ever seen, I was spellbound. I watched it on a large screen. During the fight I was yelling at the screen "Oh Hell Yeah! Get Him!!" My Wife thinks I'm nuts. I'm a fellow fisherman. My friend, you hit it out of the park on this one. By far the best video I've ever seen.
Those "Wicked Tuna" prices aren't BS. I went fishing up in PEI in "19 and we got a #975 and they got $21 a lb. for that fish. What happened to the prices? Killing a fish like that for under $10 lb is not worth the fish's life. Shame.
I know it’s a market based fishery etc etc so no food for the family. I wonder if you could have came up with totally different MENU ideas for THIS monster. WOOHOO THAT THING WAS HUGE! Congrats!!
Awesome video Vick. Glad you set the Wicked Tuna bs prices straight. I stop watching that show years ago because of the ridiculous money they threw around. Congratulations to you and the crew. Capt. Tom.
Viktor, That was Epic for yourself along with us watching it happen. Can't imagine how it would feel to land a fish that size. Great commentary, instruction along with knowledge. This was one of the best vids you've put out, Lucky man to be part of that catch, the tail is gonna look awesome mounted out on a wall.
Can you do a video where you use rods from different country's such as south Africa as our rods are very different. pls can you also do it from the surf/beach
Great commentary Vic. What a fatty. I am so glad you commented on the Wicked Tuna series. I always wondered if it was Hollywood drama. Now we all know. Thanks. Sky
OMG THE END ALL BE ALL BIG BERTHA WAS FINALLY CAUGHT GREAT JOB VIC AND CREW THE DREAM HAS FINIALLY COME TRUE THE MYTH THE LEGEND IS OVER BERTHA HAS BEEN CAUGHT 825 POUNDS AND 115 INCHES WOW
As a commercial fisherman in Alaska i once again see fishermen screwed over by the market and the buyers. Amazing fish none the less! Nice job and thanks for sharing.
Victor. First off great job. Man when your fighting a fish of that size and that value bro don’t feel the need to commentate about this and that. The fisherman here understand that you have to stay focused. Had me nervous the whole time.
Does anyone ever keep the head, tail, or collar of the fish after cutting it off? The head looks like it yields a lot of meat and the tail and collar section are very good charred on a grill.
Oh I don’t think those numbers on Wicked Tuna are made up. Those fish go for hundreds of thousands of dollars in Japan. So who makes out like a bandit? I saw one fish which wasn’t as big as this one sold for over $400,000 at a Japan Fish Auction. $3 a pound, that’s Robbery
With 200lb main and 130lb leader, how come you guys are only at 40lbs of drag? Here in SoCal, we standup fish the big yellowfin off Baja on 130lb with at least 50lbs of drag. 40 seems a little light...reason?
I Loved Watching This Guys So Much😊68 Yrs Young Female Here Such A Beautiful Fish & Wow They Got BIG Heads On Them😮Love That You Guys We’re Calm Collected No Screaming Hollering Etc; Hope You Got A Great Price $$$ For Him😊
Awesome fish Vik! Now you have to beat a 651 lb. core weight for a new PB. Fantastic video! Dennis did a phenomenal job ( as usual ). You guys make a heck of a team. Well done sir! Stay safe out there brother.
It's the passion for fishing that keeps these good men fishing! Very ,very ashamed of the market price for such a beautiful fish! They deserve well more for the knowledge and hard work. God bless Vicand thanks for sharing. We know where that fish is going and it isn't fair one bit.
for being 20 miles out the sell is like you are on a lake. I've never seen the ocean in Oregon is never that smooth. If you have 6 foot swells that's considered nice.
What a MONSTER. A fish like that? Tag team is a must along with an experienced captain. Well done guys. With the cost of fuel and all the government regulations I’ll bet its hard to malpke a living doing the commercial thing. Wish I could afford to go on a charter fishing trip.
Wiked tuna probaly inflates a bit but depends onbthe market but 20 dollars a pound is 100 percent a thing when the market is strong butvalsobsonis 3 dollars a pound justvdepends on if ylthe tuna is good enough to go to japan
I've only seen one tuna that big was Aug 92 it came in on a private charter on Block Island. Three japanese guys materialized onto the dock, seemingly out of thin air, and tried outbidding each other for the fish 😂😂😂
$3.00 a lb is robbery. I would imagine just 1 lb of sushi or just a steak would be one of your higher priced meals at any restraunt. The low man should get a better end of the deal.
It makes me so sad to hear you guys will only get three dollars a pound for it. fisherman work so hard, and unfortunately, there’s a lot of overseas competition that make it too competitive. I wish you guys many successful seasons to come.
If your only getting $3 lb u could not stay in business that was a fish of a lifetime I’m sure they will get way more unless the quality was awful no fat would have like to of seen a sample
So I’m curious. You pay for the charter? Who gets the money from the tuna if you’re paying for the charter? If the captain gets it then why would you want to pay them to make them even more?
its how it is when you fosh with good guys 😂 victor i have offered trips for almost a decade 😢 im going to make 3 vids to show you im not a dumb dumb😂 i have more spots the 80% of charter captains
Now that is a fish, caught many of them myself while working in a longline commercial fishing boat, and even bigger but that is a very decent size almost as big as it gets, given the fact you used a rod amazing catch. Not up to date with current prices anymore but that used to be a thousand dollars fish at auction, thousands of dollars fish if sold directly to distributors or restaurants.
I know what you meant, but it was kinda funny to call it a “win-win” for the fish that was getting a needle through the eye sockets and then dangled from a line to be fed to a sea monster. 😂
I love you and ryan mories videos so much my dream for my birthday is to fish with you guys i love both of yall and keep up the content cus i love it so much
if youre an angler and you pay to charter fish a tuna this big, do you get a portion of the profits from the fish... or are you basically paying for their gas so they get a fish to sell for themselves and not you??
This was the trip of a lifetime!! Thank you to Capt scott and Taggart for putting us on this giant fish!

The marbling on that tuna was looking pretty nice!
New camera ?? Great video all the way around but the quality was top Tier 👍🏾🤙🏾
I’ll bet that fish weighed more. My brother got a 120” fish that weighed 1012 lbs un dressed. Not a commercial fish.
your videographer is an absolute boss! great broll
He's the man!
@@LandsharkOutdoors I have been a fan for years, but admit I miss a video here and there. Until today I thought the camera man was Brooke's father. Lol. I swear.
Ken Fraser in 1978 caught 1496 pds. still the best record . never being broke, Great video Vicktor, keep up up the good work!
I can't even imagine seeing that in person!
Back then I would have been catching tuna from land today cang even catch anything because of guys like him back then
October 1979
I went fishing in PEI in '19 and my captain told me that in '18 he got a #1298 and he said he lost one that same day that was easily over #1500. I don't expect Fraser's record to be broken any time soon but they're there. That day I went, we got a #975 and a #750 (approx.) They told me that they can only keep 1 fish a year per license holder...sometime years more/depending. They kept the #975 and got $21lb for it.
If I catch a 1500 pound tuna, I would also never be broke again...
I thought the thumbnail was photoshopped clickbait and I was going to unsubscribe as soon as I saw the fish, but um, yeah, it's not. You captured Jaws.
My right shoulder hurts from watching all that cranking Still a BLAST ! Hope you get a good price Tight Lines !
hahahaha
Loved the "short Shifts, Short Shifts" comment from Tag. Go Bruins!
Three dollars a pound for a magnificent fish like that is just not right! Someone, somewhere down the line is making a killing and it sure ain't the fisherman. I don't get why you would even harvest a fish like that for that paltry amount of money. I sure hope these guys ended up near the ten dollar a pound price. I wonder what Adam from Moving Weight would think of these prices.
Fluctuating and goes up and down depending on time of year, etc.. I’ve seen it as high as 12 to 14.
Smaller fish get a better price per pound normally, but that’s seem pretty lowball.
3 dollars isn't bad. Afew years ago buyers weren't taking them. If they did it was 99c a lb. It was cheaper to use tuna as lobster bait then actual bait
it's a sad reality but perhaps people have been catching on to the fact that due to bioaccumulation, these big apex predators are full of heavy metals and dioxins. No fault to the fishermen. It's a sad state what we have done to the oceans with coal power etc.
Unfortunately the fishermen gets the short end of the stick
Nice hoodie movin weigjt fishin good to see fellow youtubers sharing
That's my lucky shirt!
Great catch..!!!! In 2012 we caught 7 Bluefin. We sold one 400 lbs for $10,000 dollars to a Miami restaurant owner. We kept 2,500 pounds in 3 freezers for years to eat….!
Selling directly to a restaurant is the best for the fishermen, unfortunately very few restaurants want a fish this big
In NORWAY, you can catch 1 pr year, and it has to be the first one you get.

this was cool, but me thinks you should pick better movies. ha
800Lb Fish is NUTS
Seeing it in person was insane!
Can I get a let's go (Dennis) in the chat 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 📸📸📸📸📸
Could you imagine missing the poon on a 10 footer
20 miles out and flat as a pancake... Lucked out there...
We had a 3 days of great weather, very rare for the NE
Unbelievable fish Vic! Loved seeing Dennis as well!
This is not a Tuna, its a Dinosaur !!!!!!!
Your best video so far. Phenomenal camera work. please what brand and size is the down east boat? It’s beautiful.
Its a 29ft 8'6 beam. thanks for watching!
@@LandsharkOutdoors oh wow that’s a relatively small boat for a tuna that massive lol (I have a 29ft polar with dual 300hp Yamaha 2stroke outboards)

Question ? You have to sell that fish to the market even if u was a non commercial fisherman?
@@TopSecretAsiant wrong….. you can keep more than one per year, lol

This was one of the best vids you've put out, Lucky man to be part of that catch, the tail is gonna look awesome mounted out on a wall.
That giant tuna is friggin' MASSIVE!!!!! 🐟 From my personal perspective, that'll feed an entire sports team.
Can you do a video where you use rods from different country's such as south Africa as our rods are very different. pls can you also do it from the surf/beach
Stay Calm And Fish On! Great Video what's the next target species?
GEEZ VICTOR!!! Congrats. It’s in the boat, I’ll probably comment again.
I broke a record for building a LEGO Massive Bluefin Tuna, too! 😝😝😝😝
Finally bro I've been waiting for you to post a video all day. Look how big that fucking tuna is
I’m at pompano beach right now! What is usually target species for you this time of year?
"he's coming u pto die..." same feeling when i catch grouper
blablablablabla 22:00 _what you clicked on this video for_
🙌🏽🇬🇧
a mythical creature if ive seen one
Great commentary Vic. What a fatty. I am so glad you commented on the Wicked Tuna series. I always wondered if it was Hollywood drama. Now we all know. Thanks. Sky
Big time drama! Thanks for Watching!
OMG THE END ALL BE ALL BIG BERTHA WAS FINALLY CAUGHT GREAT JOB VIC AND CREW THE DREAM HAS FINIALLY COME TRUE THE MYTH THE LEGEND IS OVER BERTHA HAS BEEN CAUGHT 825 POUNDS AND 115 INCHES WOW
Thanks for Watching!
No long arm nation Vic?? 😂
As a commercial fisherman in Alaska i once again see fishermen screwed over by the market and the buyers. Amazing fish none the less! Nice job and thanks for sharing.
Right.. $3 a pound?? That’s insane. Small bluefin with like no fat sell for $20 a pound all day.
Victor. First off great job. Man when your fighting a fish of that size and that value bro don’t feel the need to commentate about this and that. The fisherman here understand that you have to stay focused. Had me nervous the whole time.
Thanks for Watching! I do it for the people who don't understand, which is a lot of people on youtube hahah
how much did they get for the tuna? that must be 300kg of sushi
So unlike Wicked Tuna they don't do the core sample and cut out a steak to look at the fat content right at that time like you see on tv?
Nope , that shit is all hollywood make believe
JUMBO!!! Heck of a catch right there fellas! Great video
Thanks for watching!!
Monster
Does anyone ever keep the head, tail, or collar of the fish after cutting it off? The head looks like it yields a lot of meat and the tail and collar section are very good charred on a grill.
Yes a good amount of meat in the head, at the very least they could've donated it or give it to a restaurant.
Tag is actually going to salt the tail for me and ship it Florida!
Oh I don’t think those numbers on Wicked Tuna are made up. Those fish go for hundreds of thousands of dollars in Japan. So who makes out like a bandit? I saw one fish which wasn’t as big as this one sold for over $400,000 at a Japan Fish Auction. $3 a pound, that’s Robbery

Guys, you have amazed me with this tuna.
Great video 👍👍👍
I have no idea about what you guys are doing,but I can see it's so important to have good mates. Great Job!!
Bullshit I’ve seen it in person it is a different market in the Outer Banks
Great video, I prefer watching these than movies. ❤ Seen most of the great movies already, the nowadays movies are not so good, too much shooting 😮
for being 20 miles out the sell is like you are on a lake. I've never seen the ocean in Oregon is never that smooth. If you have 6 foot swells that's considered nice.
i love seeing someone of your caliber still using an ugly stik! haha. dont fix what isnt broken
What a MONSTER. A fish like that? Tag team is a must along with an experienced captain. Well done guys. With the cost of fuel and all the government regulations I’ll bet its hard to malpke a living doing the commercial thing. Wish I could afford to go on a charter fishing trip.
$2k for a beautiful fish like that I would of put it back for that price that’s crazy 😢😢😢
Wiked tuna probaly inflates a bit but depends onbthe market but 20 dollars a pound is 100 percent a thing when the market is strong butvalsobsonis 3 dollars a pound justvdepends on if ylthe tuna is good enough to go to japan
Great greater greatest bru🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤I honestly can say even if I catch a fish as big as its tail that will definitely be my PB😮😅😂😂❤❤❤
WOW those Okuma reels are very annoying, gave me a headach...... love the channel bro, been watching for years!!
so you are saying on Wicked Tuna, those prices are just made up fro TV ???
I've only seen one tuna that big was Aug 92 it came in on a private charter on Block Island. Three japanese guys materialized onto the dock, seemingly out of thin air, and tried outbidding each other for the fish 😂😂😂
This is fantastic, it’s like wicked tuna, but without all these stupid personal drama and failures
Hey Vik, is there enough meat on that tail to enjoy some sashimi?? Just wondering???
$3.00 a lb is robbery. I would imagine just 1 lb of sushi or just a steak would be one of your higher priced meals at any restraunt. The low man should get a better end of the deal.
Oh man I would've DIED to see you do a filet and cook with this fish!! How long do you think it would've taken you to filet it?
Congratulations on the huge bluefin bud. What a freaking huge fish. Fish of a lifetime bud. Congratulations for real man
Well Done guys. They are an incredible Fighting Creature
It makes me so sad to hear you guys will only get three dollars a pound for it. fisherman work so hard, and unfortunately, there’s a lot of overseas competition that make it too competitive. I wish you guys many successful seasons to come.

Taking a fish's life like that for 3$ a pound? Seems insane to me.

Awesome Vic!!! Great watching you fish up here in our waters. Welcome to MA 💙
Wow its amazing ❤ i love fishing 😢
Sure could tell who was trying to make their mortgage payment and who was making a lil video.
Pull the anchor and chase the fish. Don’t get you guys
I know what you meant, but it was kinda funny to call it a “win-win” for the fish that was getting a needle through the eye sockets and then dangled from a line to be fed to a sea monster. 😂
Man,, you throw away tuna jaw meat.. Grilled it, super soft and so tasty
Fun to watch! Thank you for taking us along! I had no idea the prices on WT were so unrealistic.
I love you and ryan mories videos so much my dream for my birthday is to fish with you guys i love both of yall and keep up the content cus i love it so much
Was just in Pompano Beach in June. Cool place, good folk.
Too bad the boat didn't have the foresight to accommodate a 2k lbs jib crane for such use.
when i was a kid my dad would always be like "turn off the clicker"
Insane fish of a lifetime! Great vid guys 🔥
Hello great videos love watching your videos. Can you please get tag to video the tail the way he does it.
You should’ve just bought that fish from them and take it home!
how can it only sell for 3 dollars a pound... doesn't halibut in California go for like 20 a pound ?
Great work guys! Class act Frenzy, way to get it done as usual Scott and Tag!
And to think the World Record is almost 700 pounds bigger. Incredible!
Wait I’m from Boston mass. Wish I knew you guys was coming down. Would’ve loved to meet yall
Lacrosse stick for the gaff- totally awesome!
Nice fish saw u guys out there finally u got down to boston to catch some real monsters!
Welcome to Massachusetts Florida boys
Glad you could experience what we do
Now go home to your hot state🥵
Should only be allowed to catch small Tuna.
I’m impressed there are fish this big left in the pond. Seems unreal.
if youre an angler and you pay to charter fish a tuna this big, do you get a portion of the profits from the fish... or are you basically paying for their gas so they get a fish to sell for themselves and not you??
