[@GulfCoastAngling]

Hard to beat blue bird skies, flat seas and slob YFTs!

[@mexicanamerican21]

[@Rigidfishing]

Must be nice not to worry about sharks then

[@joevtfishing]

Monster

[@Debate_everything]

Who get to keep the meat? Amazing fish

[@Rigidfishing]

The customers and their family and friends and us(the crew) as well

[@BroadBillHunter]

hardest fighting fish pound for pound in the ocean. hands down

[@peterk814]

Agree. Too bad these guys don’t know that fighting a fish out of the rod holder.

[@Rigidfishing]

@@peterk814 come book a trip and you can fight it standing up and see if you can get it up before the sharks get it. we usually always let the customer fight it standing up until the sharks get bad and then its a matter of would you rather lock up the drag, put it in the rod holder and pop it or bring him up or, fight standing up for double the amount of time and more likely to get eaten. we'd much rather pull a hook or have our line break rather than feeding the fish of a lifetime to sharks one after the other

@@Rigidfishing been there done that didn’t need a rod holder

How far offshore you have to go to catch a yft?

[@Rigidfishing]

Depends where you are, in Louisiana you can catch them 10 miles offshore or less but in Rhode Island you have to go 90+ miles to get to where the yellowfin are

[@Ipera78]

@@Rigidfishing tks for the respond, I fish off my ski here in south fl, yft is on my bucket list fish, I'm trying to find out where can I go chase them... somewhere I can take my ski.. 10 miles offshore is not bad, that's how far I go to catch mahi here..

[@Rigidfishing]

@@Ipera78 I’ve heard YFT are hard to catch in south fl, as far as the mainland US Venice, LA might be your best bet to catch a YFT from a jet ski but you can catch YFT right off the coast of Panama and other South American countries as well as Hawaii too

[@nickleback3695]

​@@RigidfishingThere's more yft being caught in s Florida in recent years than the past, but they are still more of an occasional catch rather than something worth specifically targeting.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

@@Rigidfishingdid y’all go to the lump?

[@degustare]

It’s so cruel 😢

[@kr2t3r]

i know im a year late but, this type of fishing is sustainable, and tuna die almost immediately after they stop swimming.
