@@DDFishingCo All Glory
Killer fish and yes power naps are a rule in. What kind of boat is it, How far out was the good water., I'm a commercial tuna fisherman I up here in Oregon but lived in Huntington Beach most of my life and worked on boats most of my life out of San Diego and Long Beach. Great job trading off the rod and killing it quickly
I was on the wrong end of one of those battles for over five hours and then he decided to teach me a lesson and spooled me,boy did I hurt for a while
Great job on the video
The Power Nap saved the day! It’s a 24’ Airslot and we were 30+ off the coast. It’s cool we reached someone all the way up on Oregon!! We always try to keep fresh hands on the reel, i think it helps keep our line real tight. That’s had to have been a major punch in the stomach! 5 hours and to watch the fish slip away is brutal!! Thanks for watching the video Gregory!
What a great trip! It is so great to see you guys up north nailing the fish. This was the first time I watch you guys and great job with the camera and audio. Your excitement and stoke really comes through. Good Job. We wish you a great season. It is going to run late this year.
Thanks Dan!! Awesome to hear you liked the video!! Really cool to see comments like this. See you out there 😎
What a finish👏🎣
It was awesome!
Incredible video. Loved every second.
Thanks Jack!!
Nice work, fellas.
Thanks dude!
Unbelievable day! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Fahad!!
Nicely done guys.. I’m ready to get one of these blue fin 2na
Thanks man, go get yourself some Norcal BFT!!
Yeah you guys have a good batch of big Tuna right now...Nice 👍
Yes sir!!
What an amazing day of BFT fishing!!! Crushed it!!!
Thanks Reid!! It was one of our favorite fishing days of our lives.
You guys have the bluefin dialed in! Do you have any videos on the cabin build? That would be pretty cool to see.
Thanks Brian! We don't have a video of the build, we could do a video on it and show y'all the boat and the build!
🎉great job and lots fun.👍
Thanks man, it truly was one of our best fishing days!
Congratulations Good job you guys that's one of the fish on my bucket list to catch 💯👍🔥🎣
5k let's go
Catch you next time!
Thanks Rich!! We caught our first BFT last year and we are hooked. Hope you get to the chance to pull on one. 5k lets go!
Nice fish! Congrats. Quick tip - Fish alarm on while trolling ...AND - OFF while grinding one in.
Absolutely agree with you on the fish alarm! We only kept it on with newer anglers so we could hear what was going on, if we needed to step in and help out or give direction.
Happy to see u guys kill it man
Thanks bro!!
Just got my madmacs 160 and can’t wait to use it. These are great videos and super fun to watch! I’m new to fishing and obsessed.
Thats awesome! We were using the 200 and the 160's, we got bit on both. Fishing is an addiction and for us BFT consume us haha. Good luck out there.
Loving the channel. The big blue fin are epic
Thanks Mike! It was an epic day 👍
Epic!!!! Great teamwork guys!!!
Thanks dude!!!
Wow! Great teamwork, gear and a healthy amount of luck - but you make you're own luck on days like that.
Make your own luck is always what we say haha
Well done!! You guys absolutely crushed it!!💪🤙🔥
Thanks man!! Epic day!
OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Thanks 😎🎣🤘
Wow! Epic. I am going to get one the rods you mentioned Penn Carnegie III 80-150 to pair with my Okuma Makaira 50s. Lastly, what brand of rod holders you have on the rail?
Nice man!! Sweet setup! The rod holders we were using aren’t the greatest to be honest. We are swapping them out, they kept rotating on the rail. If you can get some smiths, they are more expensive but probably better than the Amazon ones if you plan to fight the fish in the holder.
What an episode guys. Sick video. How are those rod holders working out for you? I rather get those rod holders then drilling holes in my north river.
Thanks man, one of our best days of the year! We liked the rod holders for that time being. Since this video, we mounted to fixed rod holder, like ones you would mount to the gunnel, on the rail and it works really great. If you watch some of our newer tuna videos you will see how we mounted the rod holders.
Freakin awesome, you guys found them for sure 👏👍
After the nap we found them haha. Thanks Benny !!
You guys killed good job
It was an awesome day!
Wish I can go tuna with yah good stuff keep it up
Thanks man! If you live in the area and when we hit 5k maybe you'll be one of the people we take out. We are going to randomly select a winner.
Awesome! 👏
Thanks June!!!
Absolutely killer! I’m geared up and ready for the next weather window. Would love to buddy boat out and see if we can find them.
That’s awesome!! Did you get out there at all? We didn’t get the chance to go during this weather window
Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸👊🏻
😎
Awesome job you guys!!! What lb.test was your braid and leader?
130lb braid and 200 mono leader
Cool video guys!👏🎣
Thanks Tim! 👍
Did you guys convert ur former engine housing into a fish hold! Nice size n right there🤔👍🎣✌
We didn’t, we thought about it but when we bulked up the transom there wasn’t a ton of room to build a fish well.
Epic! How far back were you running them. Down south we only do 150 yards.
Our line counter wasn't cooperating, I am not sure exactly how far our set back. We were probably about that range.
@@DDFishingCo guys keep posting 400-500 yard set backs up here. Seems absurd to me. My buddies in SD never go further than 200.
Yeah alot of guys feel like the fish are boat shy, we have hooked up close and far.
You boys are putting in work 🤙💯🔥one day I’ll get to rip some tuna lips lol
Thanks man! It was an epic day. Hopefully you get to tug on some tuna soon 🎣🎣🎣
Epic vid! How far apart are you staggering 3 rods?
Our line counter wasn’t working great out on the water, but about 100-200feet apart so they don’t tangle up !
How fast were ya'll trolling out there
Mach 5 😂
@@Oldvolks44sending it!!!
How fast ?
Really nice fish! Lost a few down south and want redemption! Keep crushin’um!
Thanks Steve! Bummer to here about you losing the fish. Hopefully you get those redemption fish!!
isnt it normally hot in Norcal during the summer?
Inland it is, but our coast is typically really foggy. Especially off the coast!
Wow! Nice job!
Thanks man! Thanks for watching !
Bloody Decks!!!!
Yes sir!!
What port are you fishing out of, I know you said NorCal but can you narrow it down?
I know the fish are from Baja to long beach but at they all the way to Portland
San Francisco
Epic awesome vid
Thanks Mike!
Tomorrow weather looks good, let’s hit it!
Did you head out today?
I did a loop from Santa Cruz. 12 miles out near the fingers, it was 54F water and not blue. No signs of tuna or anything. I have never caught a Tuna but I am trying. I got a rod and reel for it and my little Whaler can get there if the weather is really nice.
Man dude bummer you didnt find any fish, I hope you get one this year!
Nice, let’s go!
Thanks man!
Which bag do you use to store big tuna? How long is it?
The bag we used in the video was a buffalo bag from Amazon it was 40”x80”
Great video!! Absolutely killed it out there, I’m a fan.
Hey what size reel do you recommend for Albacore?
Awesome man glad to hear you are a fan! I would get a 20-30w for albacore. You can run smaller reels too if you are in a pinch. We caught them on little avets last year.
Hey guys first time checking you out… Wow!!!Absolutely exciting, I subscribed. How about some intel and gear would be appreciated.
Thanks for watching the video! Glad you liked it! Happy to answer any gear questions. We were using 80-150lb penn carnage rods and 50w reels. We had braid to leader for each setup.
I think you guys should let the little blue fin go and keep the bigger ones help the population grow
Thanks Chris, not a bad idea. The windows to catch those fish here are small. So we kind of take what we can get. I totally understand your thinking and where you are coming from. We will look into the population numbers and see what that looks like too.
Doesn’t get any better!!!🤙🏻🤙🏻
You guys killed it in your backyard. Wow!!! 6 for 6 life is good!!!
Keep’m bent boys!!!!
Went 2-1 last year in the Monterey Bay looking for redemption this year!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻 }
6 for 6 is right! We talked about that the whole ride in. It was an incredible day! The addiction is real! Good luck to you man down in Monterey this year, hopefully you get on some pigs 🐖
What pound top-shot you guys running?
200lb!
God dang y’all were killing it! How far are were you????
Thanks man!! Outside the salmon grounds basically looking for warm water
How much for a trip out there on the boat? Im from norcal and thats my bucket list fish lol.
Thanks Chris! We don’t have a 6pack license at this time so we aren’t able to take anyone on trips that we get paid for. In the future we plan to have this option!
Wow one if the best videos I’ve seen. Does the 240 mad Mac work just as well? Also how do you guys find the schools? Lastly what rods are you using.
Thank you
Thanks!! It was an epic day! We haven't used the mad mac 240 yet, I am sure it works, its a big ole bait. Big bait big fish? We look for life, birds, fish jumping, whales, any signs of life.
The rod we preferred was our big rod, a Penn Carnage III 80-150lb sized rod. We have used the Okuma PCH 60-100 lb size and its a little light for this application. One fish was caught on the 60-100lb sized rod.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions! Keep up the great work!
@@nancyn3863you got it, thank you!!
I don't expect your exact location but I'm just wondering how far north you guys were? North of Monterey? South of Fort Bragg? Thank you and congratulations.
San Francisco
Nice , thank you. 😎
Are you still in gear after hook up?
Yeah we are, it helps keep the fish tight especially if it runs at you.
Gotdamn! How far offshore you going? Eureka, bodega bay I gotta know
These fish are all the way from Santa Cruz up to Trinidad in the warmer waters!
Guys, new to bluefin, what is the limit, isn't it 2 per boat per day? please school me on the limits cause I thought it was, thanks! great video but kinda wondering if you got checked by CDFW at the docks, did guys get wrecked back at the docks by fish and wildlife? Im sure everyone wants to know too, cause fines are upwards to $50,000, taking no chance on a spoiled adventure with fines that hefty
2 fish per person
@@jakelantz4274 interesting ......... as of 8-22-2023, I spoke to a CDFW agent and indeed confirm it is 2 per Angler Per Day despite the confusing online research, even their PDF was not 100% clear on it so yes 2 per day per angler is correct, Great catches!!
Its super misleading, its definitely 2 per day other wise the charters down in Socal would be in serious trouble.
Thanks sir!
Pretty epic
It was an epic day!
Awesome video I’m sure it feels so good making it happen and getting those tuna in the boat. I don’t know if you ever considered it or if you even have a market that you can sell the fish to but whenever you catch a mix bag as far as size goes if it were me I would keep the small ones and then just sell the big one to help pay for the trip
Thanks Jake! We have to have a commercial license to sell fish, otherwise its a fantastic idea. You have to register your boat as a commercial boat, and you can no longer sport fish.
Just wanted to know what rods you were using and your personal opinion on the rods. Looking to purchase a rod but don’t want to spend over my budget.
We were using a penn carnage iii 80-150 rail rods, if you are going to troll they are great for fighting the fish on the rail.
That's a Yong man's game but it is a buteful fish.
Really nice quality grocery haul we got here
What color do you recommend for for a nomad for the East Coast south of vineyard sound
I’m not sure, we haven’t fished over there. I would think something that’s similar to the types of colors of bait you have over there. Pink has been a safe bet for us.
What an exciting video! Appreciate yall sharing!!! MikeMaria
Thanks Mike!! Glad you liked the video!
Legit!
Thanks Chris!!
Me and my dad where thinking of going up, are you near the Bay Area where u launch?
Yeah we launch near the Bay Area!
thank the lord
How much line do you think is enough?
The more line the better, the fish can take alot, I would get at least a 30W reel.
@@DDFishingCoDamn I guess I have to get another reel.. my Avet hx raptor only has like 550 yds on it.
I mean that’s probably enough that’s 1500 feet, but what sized line is that? We ran 100+ on braid
@@DDFishingCo Cool, It’s got 100lb braid. We went out the other day it was rough and had no luck. Hooked up on something huge that we fought for 30 minutes, only to realize we snagged a porpoise in the dorsal fin! Had to cut off a $50 lure, it was one hell of a fight though.
Man dude thats wild! I bet it was a crazy fight!
What size slx reels are you running the 20 or 30 wide?
50w and we had one that was 30w and we had some shimano tld 30w as well
when was this (date?)
4 days ago it looks like
Sunday the 2nd
That's a big catfish😅
Hugeeeeeeeeee catfish
Awesome trip guys...looks like you guys had a shit ton of fun! I'm chasing them in a few weeks. The bad news is that you guys posted this video showing yourselves breaking the law....the limit is 2 fish per boat per day!
Thanks man! It was a blast! I think the info online is misleading. One site from a someone’s blog says 2 fish per boat per day. Charter boats, and 6 pack boats come in loaded with fish all the time. From the rules I can see from CADW I see 2 fish per day or 20 fish per day boat limits. I don’t get where the 20 fish comes from. But I do think it’s 2 fish per angler.
If that was true, fish and game is going to have a field day with the party boats in San Diego.
@@jbbad4004it would be an absolute field day
interesting ......... as of 8-22-2023, I spoke to a CDFW agent and indeed confirm it is 2 per Angler Per Day despite the confusing online research, even their PDF was not 100% clear on it so yes 2 per day per angler is correct, Great catches!! I have the email communication from a CDFW offical stating this statement, they will fix their PDF I was told
Where y’all out of? I’m tryna roll haha
Haha we are out of the Bay Area
So.. what reel is that?/
50W and we had a 30W too
What size madmac?
200 sized and 160 sized
what size is ur boat?
24 feet
14:23 Please never have a gaff laying around. Thats an accident waiting to happen. 😅
Off camera, I told all the guys there was a gaff down in the middle. But this a good comment for the viewers to be safe.
I'm from central Cali and fish San Diego 6 times a year. We never leave the rod in a holder or pass it off.
You fish for them jigging down there or trolling? Up here in Northern California we are pretty damn behind the boat. We also put the wood to these fish and get them in as fast as possible to keeping fresh hands on helps us.
You guys really need a harpoon!
Aint that the truth! Going to get one!!
WERE ARE YOU LAUNCHING THATS ALL I WANT TO KNOW..
