Awesome video, looks like an absolute blast! What rod were you using during the daytime fight of the 100+ pound BFT?
@TheFishermanExperience2 ай бұрын
In your previous 100 pound bft video I think you said the blue hxw has 80 lb braid, is that still the case? I’m trying to decide if having more line is better than having stronger line. Great videos man, thank you for filming, editing and sharing!
@MrMikeIffy8 күн бұрын
The HXW holds 620 yards of 100lb. That's more line than you likely need. If you want an 80lb reel, step it down to an HX that will hold 500 yards of 80lb. If you're going to be fishing night time with jigs when the big ones are around, stick with 100 lb. I personally have both, but the 80lb gets used less in local San Diego area water and comes in handy down south and then I'll use it for daytime flylining. At times I'll use it locally for a sinker rig during the day.

Its great that deck hand is keeping the others from dropping near you and your large fish. People who post these videos, Please watch the language or at least cut them out when you preveiw it up loading your videos. I can't let my kids see your videos with the foul language, sad. Thank you

This boat is bad ass! I went out July 2nd and caught 11 BFT with one standout 60 pounder on the night bite, 10 on bait, crew and captain Greg are awesome 100% recommend hopping on this boat for those who have not yet

Brah, you shoulda been walking toward the bow a few seconds after you yelled biter. No angels, no tangles. That's why your'e wrapped with the rest of the googans.
@BiggieTuna7605 ай бұрын
Nah Brah, the fish was headed for the stern so I walked it down then back. I'll take the small one over wrap on a boat with 28 fisherman. Thanks for the advice though

Great job! Only recommendation is when you do lay that rod or any on the rail, palm the reels side plate or cover the reel with your hand, helps with the rod/wrist twist!! Cool vid and some beautiful BFT!🎉

I’m surprised how people have a problem with fighting yellowtail. Pound for pound the toughest fight but using tuna gear shouldn’t be a problem. I’m a bit of a wind down and short pump so they can’t sound or run that’s on forty mono not 100 pound braid
