- First trip of the spring Capt. Mike of the Pacific Dawn took a chance on a long range day and a half trip. The seas were rough many people were sea sick and we did not catch a fish until we were headed home. If you want to skip to the catching it is at about the 20 minute mark. This school averaged 140-170 pounds. I was happy to share this trip with everyone that was on the boat. This is possibly the best crew I have ever fished with as far as keeping the PANDAMONIUM under control. Very few fish were lost everyone did a great job working together!
I love the sticker that the Captain had on the sonar “Never Give Up”. That’s what makes for good boats and good trips. Even if we get skunked, it’s all good when the captain and crew work their butts off to try and put us on fish. Way to go hitting the walk off home run in the bottom of the ninth! Best feeling ever!
we went from crying the blues to catching giant blues!
I love the Pacific Dawn, captain Mike is known for his last minute heroics. He has 2 x 3 day trips in July and October, to bad I already book on other boats or I'd love to get back on his boat. He is such a die hard captain. Congrats Jim on your 2 huge fish!
I will definitely fish his boat again thanks for watching!
Cousin Jim what reel make and model is that Sir ask for my son that will be on a trip July 23rd ? Thank you

Any good trips you got going for May? Trying to see what boat to do on what do you recommend
every boat is good I usually do not plan that far ahead I get on what ever boat fits my schedule. I know it was not much help but I watch the recent fish counts to help my choosing.
Charlie f’d up when he got cocky and said “you mind if i kill this thing for you, right when it was at deep color, then the The tuna gods had other plans and wrked charlie for another hour until it got to gaff!😂👏🤘
the tuna gods were laughing
Really enjoying the content. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy the thorough gear breakdowns of your gear and others gear on the boat.
I'll be in SD for work in June. Doing my best to jump on a 2.5 day, if time allows; however, I'll settle for a 1.5.
I too am a cousin Jim, so I can relate.
Tight lines, and keep these vids coming.
thanks for watching June you can probably get into them on a 1 day
Nice end to what could have been a long boat ride. Imagine, NPBFT get to nearly 1,000 pounds. These are all pre-spawn juveniles. Come over at footballs, stay until 300-400-pounds, and return to their spawning grounds in the Sea of Japan. NPBFT are all one stock, as per DNA, so no proof (outside of some conjecture in the mid 80s at Guadalupe Island, but no proof until DNA testing) of them spawning anywhere else than the SOJ/PS area. Once they spawn, they stay in the west Pacific and cruise between the SOJ and New Zealand, often mixing with their cousins, the southern bluefin south of the Equator. As southerns 'only' get to about 500-pounds, any southern caught and submitted for a world or line-class record is required by the IGFA to be DNA tested to make sure it is not a NPBFT. WR for NPBFT is 907, caught off New Zealand. Imagine if we caught the post spawn 800-1,000-pound adults here? Wow, they are an impressive fish at any size, and quite remarkable, standing out among all species of tunas with an advanced endothermic system that allows them to cruise at all depths, and through very cold water. That gives them the edge over the big YFTs, (I know, it's a debate, and often more subjective than analytical) as they can sound faster into cooler water that would give a YFT a heart attack. Good job!
thanks for the info! I thought these only grew to about 400 and were a different strain than the atlantic bluefin
All-tackle records for the three species of bluefin tunas: Atlantic, 1,496-pounds. Pacific, (the ones we catch on the west coast of US/Baja to 400-pounds) 907-pounds. Southern, 369-pounds.
@@scottdanielsproject I would sure like one of those
Hey uncle jim!!!!! This is Reagan Zheng here, it is so glad to have a trip with u and we did fight for our fishes. Captain Mike didn't give up and you didn't give up and also didn't I. This is what made such a fascinating trip. A seasick boy came back as a man right now
good fishing with you, tight lines and following seas to you
All laughs and smile till you hook up 😂 nice one!!
big old smile
The crew did a great job on your fish your personal best don’t take credit for that the crew caught that fish.
Pacific Dawn is such a great boat! me and my fishing friend have taken 3 trips with her and the Captain. everytime, we have killed it! The last one I did was the New Lo-An which was a made into a private charter with only 8 people... those extra wide sides make such a huge difference!!!! It's always fun to be able to have space to fight massive fish. Most of the time like here,you are grinding to get the fish up so you dont tangle with other people...I have tangled before with two other people who were also hooked up due to the fish making a random run, it was chaos! So when you can enjoy the fight and just take you're time, def cash in on that! Either way though,having a great Captain, like this man on the PDawn is what matters.
Mad love the P-Dawn and there Crew!
both those boats fish well and have great crew
Nice prison sank😂
he watched shaw shank redemption LOL
ive been on pacific dawn many times out of ventura....good guys and know their stufff....mike the dog the captain ?.....nice fish!
owner Captain
I really enjoyed seeing you Jim catching that big tuna!
part 2 on Thursday you can see the one I gave away 170#+ thanks for watching tight lines
If you have 100 feet of line out at a 45 degree angle the depth of the end of the line is 70.71 feet. To calculate this, in your calculator enter the length of the line that is out, then hit the cosine button and then enter the angle you are out in degrees and the answer will appear. magic.
@@trippingtommy3691 my rough guess was 50’ not too bad for not having my calculator on the boat LOL Thanks for the exact number
Keep on watching and informing tight lines my friend
You should never blame the hook for straightening the correct answer is “THE FISH WAS TO BIG”
you are absolutely right
Awesome job Cousin Jim, I was rooting for you. Looking forward to sharing the rail again this year. Matt is BEAST! Tight lines and following seas, RED
Red it is great to hear from you see you this summer.
Man Charlie was the luckiest one on that boat, getting paid to fight everyone’s fish 🤣 dream job!
yes and he loves it!
Chef Nick, one of the best cooks around! What up bro! Love the Dawn. Hated to see her go to san diego, but time goes on😢.
come on down its not that far tight lines
Wow, I’m super happy for you and the rest of the gang on this trip, so stoke watching everyone reeling in their giant, love seeing you gentlemen with big smiles and positive attitude even right before the last stop, love your video and big big congrats !!
I was real happy with the way everyone reacted when we headed home with no fish but the mood really did change for all of us hooking up always cheers a fisherman! Tight Lines
Me at 42:50 🤜🏼🐟 thanks cousin Jim always a pleasure. Matt from the Condor
on your knees or in the blue shirt?
Captain Mike and his crew are always awesome. Great stuff cousin Jim. Glad to see y’all on some good ones.
It was a fantastic trip! tight lines maestro
When is part 2?
Today 5 pm
sorry it is today 5pm I was confused
This was the best time spent watching bft fishing. 🎉❤😅
they definitely went off!
What an epic trip CJ. Congrats on your catch of a lifetime. Hope to see you again this season!
hopefully on a trip but definitely on my videos tight lines my friend
@@cousinjim1I was on a day trip with you on the Liberty July last year. We got skunked then I went on the 2 overnight trips after that and got my BFTs
@@DuyNguyen-lq4vl I seem to catch more at night also
Good to see you back in San Diego Jim.
next week Florida then the next probably San Diego tight lines
Do they bleed them when they bring aboard?
this boat cuts out the gills and guts, as good of fish care as I have seen!
When u going on the Dolphin 🐬 again
I want to try the Daily Doule next half day trip so I am not sure
You only had 60lb leader(top shot) knowing that boat was catching slugs last trip? 😳
yes, my leader on the jig was 200# the biggest I own has 300feet of 60# so I make the floro top shot the same. Landed a 120# 150# and in part 2 which comes Thursday 5 pm a 170# so my rig works well for me. Glad you noticed tight lines my friend.
@@cousinjim1 so #200 leader tied to the 60! epic trip Jim! Simply epic!!! May see ya down there one of these days
@@Nobodybaby78 can't wait to see you on a trip
@@cousinjim1 Its best practice to use at least 100lb at night. Big difference between fighting a fish for 15 mins or over 1 hour. You pay $500+ to go on the trip, spend the extra few bucks for the proper line. You were very blessed to land those fish on 60lb, Congrats on some nice bluefin Jim!
@@matthill5066 100# rental rods are a good bet also thanks for watching
What date was this trip?
3/27 4pm to 3/29 6 am got back to the dock at noon
Loved the video
thanks dojo tight lines
Nice job!
