Keeping it real!
Great footage Ryan. Used to seeing it so easy on wicked tuna..
Love the behind the scenes details!
Thanks a ton! 🙌🏻😎👍🏻🎣🐟
Awesome job landing that bluefin. I can tell by look on your faces you have great passion for fishing.
At the point of this video when his friend hoped aboard that became the best thing about the video. The fish is a bonus!
He’s a great friend and I see him often. I’ll tell him about your comment. Thank you!
Great job, thanks for sharing!
No prob Bill. Thanks for watching!
EXCELLENT video, watched all 34 minutes :P
Awesome! Thanks for tuning-in! 🙌
Awesome!!!! Congratulations! !!!
Thanks Glynn, I got lucky!
Awesome vid, nice catch 👍🏼
What a team ,nice job.
Thanks Ken! It was a memorable experience
Its cool to have friends like that , nice video, nice fish.👍
I've been blessed with great friends and family. Glad you enjoyed the vid!
She heard of a knife sharpener? Nice job dude!
Thanks man. Those tails are ridiculously tough. An electric saw works best.
Congrats!
Thanks!!!
Awesome dude ..
Very nice work, you were shaking in the beginning and pulled it off
I was pretty shocked at the beginning for sure. Thanks for watching Morty.
Nice fish and nice boat! You can keep the fish, i want the boat!!
LOL, yes that little 21 foot Hydra Sport has treated me well!
Dam bro you got the patients of a saint. Between the girls in the truck while your selling to the dull knife the buyer had. Nice catch
lol, patience is definitely key when fishing for giant tuna! Thanks for watching Marco
I gosh this is very unusual hookup
My congrats to you
I did 6 tuna trips this year to Stellwagen bank from Scituate sw corner and southeast corner and no since of tuna
Not a single bite
Hopefully will do better next year!!
Tales up!!!!
I'm sure you'll do better next year. Keep at it. I get skunked all the time too when tuna fishing. Tough animal to catch!
Nice team work, two is better than one! What did it measure in length?
Thanks Jim! That fish measured 99 inches
Nice catch! Were you in the bay or south of the vineyard? Can you list the gear you were using? Looks like a Penn SW80?
Hey Kevin, I was in the PTOWN/Stellwagen area. The reel is a Penn SW80. More info here myfishingcapecod.com/my-first-giant/ Tight lines my friend 🎣
@@MyFishingCapeCodAwesome fish! Congrats! I fought one about 2 weeks later off Nauset- 5.5 hours was 100+". Recreational license so I had to release. Subscribed!
awesome!
Props🤙🏽
Buddy God smiled on you that day, only reason you landed that fish.
Now is a Penn senator 116 able to take fish like this? It's a oldy so I have found any specs on it
I think you'd be hard pressed with that reel. I would recommend a Penn 80 International at the minimum
Honestly I think the 6/0 might lose it's drag after that first run.
atta boy Ryan!
It's so cool to see that same exact winch that my old man used almost 40 years earlier to haul up his giant BFT as a commercial stick/rod & reel fisherman out of Barnstable harbor. I've got dozens of pictures showing groups of people huddled around wearing bell bottoms marveling at the same monsters that seem to never cease to amaze!
So awesome Daniel, and thank you for emailing me the photos of your dad! Awesome memories in that harbor for sure 👍🏻
So sick
Amazing that fish like this are swimming right here on the Cape.
Is this just for grins, or is this a living?
For me it's a small part of my living. For other guys it's more of a full-time gig.
mantap tuna nya boss👍👍
Where is your life raft and epirb in order to comply with your general category permit ?
Hi Mike! When I caught this fish several years ago I was under the impression I did not need to have a life raft, epirb and survival suits because I was fishing just a couple miles offshore and it was during warm-weather season. I very well may have been completely incorrect in my thinking at the time. Regardless it's the last fish I sold on my little boat, as I now do all my tuna fishing on larger vessels that have all the safety gear. If I decide to tuna fish again on the boat you see in this video, then you can rest assured it will have all the required equipment. Thanks for the comment!
@@MyFishingCapeCod nothing against you and congrats on a nice fish . Just know encountering environmental police or coasty when unloading can really ruin your day
Many hands make the work load lighter.
Very true 🎣
All that time I spent out there in all the little clubs working on silly pool tables and I could've been doing this! Be careful of them Great Whites man!!
LOL, but I am sure you had some memorable nights too!
carry a pumpkin ball hook it to the reel and throw it over pole and all instead of stressing
Thanks Scott but I'm unclear what you mean. Is there an article or video somewhere that shows the technique you are describing? Thanks 👍🏻
You sold the tuna right?
That is correct. I received $6/pound, which is the average
They sold more than $20 a pound after you sold $6 a pound ‘what a ripoff
@@JDL1115 that's the way it works buddy. She's got the truck and she's got all the equipment and connections. If he would have tried doing it himself I'm sure it would have all ended up in a people's freezers.
How much did you get from it?
$6/pound
wow... that's massive indeed.
wow... that's massive indeed.
How much that it cost?
I received $6/pound for that fish, so about $3,500 total
mono main line?
I believe the main line on that reel was 200 pound Cortland hollowcore braid
@@MyFishingCapeCod genial
how much did you get for it?
$6/pound, which is pretty much the average. The fish had good color but unfortunately very little fat.
$6 a pound!!! RIP off!!! I pay nearly $50 a pound for some nice bluefin tuna! That is Aku (skipjack tuna) prices!!! Even yellowfin commands a higher price here...
That does seem low I was thinking double that 12 or so looked like a nice fish
what you pay at the store vs what fisherman get paid are two different worlds
yeah, he said the fish had very little fat
want some smoked tuna
how much this tuna?
That fish weighed 558lbs, and I received $6/pound
@@MyFishingCapeCod What a nice country where you live with a lot of life in the sea, and above you get money for fishing. cool
It is a dream come true for sure. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
looks like you need a cooling system
That would be nice. I'd probably need a bigger boat though! lol
@@MyFishingCapeCod I have plastic ice tubes filled with water that I pre-freeze then stuck in the tuba cavity. It drops the core temperature very fast.
That's a great idea! Thanks John
Half the line gating pulled out by the boat water tension on the line guy luck was on ur side u should have lost the fish 2 million times .what the fuck do u keep doing allways stay on the fish .over reaction gut hooked fish when the hook pull up from his stomach it gets caught in his gills an they die kills them .guy got a blue snowmobile suit on in July no ice in the truck didn’t get or dehead the fish so much for a good quality fish 70 water for 3 hours what a shame get a bag an ice so u don’t get $5 per pound an don’t beat the shit out them geta gin pole Ora come along .red fish .she can’t tell you shit they get bid on over in Japan unless they go for the damestic market .swin ur fish let him cool him self down .why don’t she just use that sawzal to cut off the tail for ya hack job .nice job I like how u gave props to the fish big respect for that .F/V rise an shine 👍
Luck was certainly on my side. Thanks for all the helpful tips ✌🏻
Bull dogging them in...
I've seen sharper butter knives !!!.
amateurs ....................
Gotta start somewhere right? I've caught about 15 tunas in my life. I also fish for striped bass, albies, tautog, sea bass etc. I'm happy you guys are more experienced tuna professionals than me. Gluck and tight lines 🎣
Hey you caught the bluefin. But ya have to cut the gills to bleed out and get him in asap and ice him down. My buyer takes the core temp. I was talking about the buyer. Should have had better system and knife and a tub to put the fish in. I know its hard to get the fish into a small boat but ya get more $$$$ if the fish is taking better care of. ? Tight lines n screaming reels......
