Definitely going back on in the future, the captain tried to look for his own schools instead of following the fleet and tried his best to chase down the fish. Deckhand helped save me from the tangle and got a perfect headshot
@@DerrickVan yeah and on a foul hooked fish too. Not an easy fight or gaff job. I lost an easy 80-100lb yellowfin this past fall at the boat foul hooked with a verticao jig. Private boat on the east coast so very different but same idea. Actually think the front assist hook pulled during the fight but the rear hook caught the top of the fishes head somehow. 9/0 Shout Kudoku hooks are like needles. Went from screaming drag to pulling in a trash bag. Fish surfaced, made a quick turn, and I was left with nada. Would've released it either way but still sucked. Enjoyed watching.
If you aren't new to this channel you might realize that this is my video from earlier, I just wanted a short video that only had the fish so I can share it. If anyone is new check out my other videos I go fishing on charter boats and review stuff
I think u have much better technique and skills with catching BFT with jigging than with with live bait.... lol I see u like to pint the rod downward just like when u got BFT on with jigging set up....How many short trips like this do you do a year? I do more 8 to 16 day trips over the year but since the Covid I switched to shorter trips 3days or less......Another good video from you
How is the Proteus holding up, and how are you liking it after all these years? I'm thinking about getting one, but a 7' xxh with an Avet HXW (something like that) as a heavier setup for the monsters (possibly their 7' 4" tuna model. I've just never held one, so I'm curious. Thanks in advance and thanks for posting the vids.
Great video!!!! Now it's been couple years what are your thoughts on the MC cast control option? Does it affect casting live bait? Would the non mc cast further? What your pro & con? I want the raptor model on the sx but the mc is delaying my decision. Avet does sale raptor with non-mc option but not in the sx model
Thank you! Personally when I first thought about buying with the MC feature I thought it was going to help, however I find it pointless now with more casting experience. I feel like it slows down the live bait and gives it unneeded resistance because even at its lowest setting mc is still activated. It's a cool gimmick until you never use it again. Avet doesn't sell raptor models without mc I believe
@@DerrickVan Thanks for the quick response!!! You helped me made my decision. I had a bad feeling that the mc would somewhat cause the freespool for live bait Yes Avet now sales raptor series with non-mc except the sx model.
When a line gets crossed like that, it only requires you to unwrap 1x. Seeing the mate go back and forth, I kind of knew they would need to cut. Then he cut the guys jig off. That is why I don’t fish on these kinds of boats.
Yea it's kind of tough fishing on the boats, but I enjoy it though because you get to meet new people and no need for washing down boats, but you have to deal with 30 more people, so you win some you lose some. Thanks for watching my video man and thank you for your support!
I've caught bluefin up to 50lb on the reel and have no issues with line capacity, the high drag allows me to fish heavier line so it balances out the smaller capacity
Well done Dynamic Derrick !!!! Again.
Thanks bro!
Great job by yourself and the deckhand. Awesome gaff shot.

nice fish dude
@@yo_sp33d34 thanks bro
I wish I could of been a deckhand when I was younger.
Dream of mine to pinhead, maybe one summer when I'm not busy

@tnphung thanks, I really like jigging more now lol, much easier in my opinion. I normally do like 7 short trips a year
Did you end up eating the heart
Well done Sir!! If I missed it I apologize but what pound test was that on?
Thank you! I was using 25lb flourocarbon
Why moderate fast action rod is better than fast action. Penn carnage 2 jigging rod is way to go
Love moderate fast for flylining 👍
would be a party boat without the tangle
Is that the proteus 810HFJ?
No its the 76mhf

I still have this exact setup and I've caught a bunch of fish on it after all the years. Great rods!
@@DerrickVan I thought I saw you using the same setup in other vids, but wanted to be sure. Thanks.
Awesome! What Brand Braid and # were ya using?
Normal powerpro 50#
@@DerrickVan Thanks a bunch for posting this. Getting a Green one now that I can see it can handle it! Keep up the reviews! safely of course.
Great video!!!!

dude did say “cut at the mono” I would have done the same thing the deckhand did. He should have instead said “cut the hook”.
Protetus is good on boat
Yup, I love it because it is like and affordable and the action is nice
How dose the real hold up to bluefin and what line u got on their?dose it carry enough line the drag seems to be to much for its capacity
I've caught bluefin up to 50lb on the reel and have no issues with line capacity, the high drag allows me to fish heavier line so it balances out the smaller capacity
@@DerrickVan what line do you have on their?
@@socalfishincrew5410 50lb
He said at the mono.....
Yeah, the deckhand cut off the dude's jig, that sorta sucked.
