@@TunajunkiesNJ thanks very much for the reply. Great show

Dave’s awesome and I’m not trying to steal business but I work on a 44’ L&H walk around named the Artemis, if y’all come back anytime look us up it’s a tad easier to have the entire boat open when you’re casting as I’m sure you know, awesome catch buddies

[@TunajunkiesNJ]

will definitely look you up ! trying to get one more shot on these fish !

[@stephenwheless9461]

@@TunajunkiesNJ I can’t blame you man bluefin on jigging tackle is about as good as it gets, this past year my captain and I both started getting away from the usual trolling and started targeting the bottom more than anything, this area around here is basically untouched as far as bottom fish go offshore so we’ve been in the Rosie’s goldens and trying for a sword now on jigging setups, best of luck with the rest of your fishing and I hope to have y’all one day!

Amazing video! What a beast, what rod and real and what kind of plug used in this video? Great job boys

[@TunajunkiesNJ]

Thank you !!! 🙏We were using a custom rod from efishent rods in NJ. its a 300g popping rod 7' in length

[@MaverickCash]

@@TunajunkiesNJwhat kind of hooks were you running? Also is their any tips for swimming a gazelle?

[@TunajunkiesNJ]

@@MaverickCash . Hey ! We are running BKK inline singles mainly . 13/0 belly and 11/0 tail hook . Sometimes I’ll run the BKK jig hook too. For the gazelle it’s a pretty good swimming lure you want to twitch it opposed to sweep it so it simulates a injured baitfish on the surface. Small twitch’s with the rod toward your non dominant side (so you naturally don’t pull it to hard) with a slower retrieve is key to success

[@MaverickCash]

@@TunajunkiesNJ thank you very much tight lines!

[@lubeinatube813]

Why do you guys set the hook 25 times?

[@matthill5066]

Right lol, its like they are trying as hard as they can to rip the hook out of the mouth

[@TunajunkiesNJ]

Giant Bluefin Tuna have hard jaws .
