AZTEC 100lb Bluefin

[@brianwills4398]

That phenix jigstick put in work. Love phenix rods 🤙

[@joe3312s]

By the time you boated the beautiful tuna I felt like laying down, I was beat. Great job fighting that fish and not letting go of your rod!

[@BiggieTuna760]

Thank you! I was dead.

[@procurementspecialist710]

Such a fun trip look forward to fishing with you again! -Toby

[@BiggieTuna760]

Thanks Toby! You’re awesome dude

[@travisjenkins7287]

You got pliahs, love it! Looks like a great trip out.

[@BiggieTuna760]

It was! Dude we need to convince your dad to change his trip to a 1.5

[@richjudy2887]

You were well taking care of Amigo. 200# on a 1.5 day...Awesome. You had the Avet drag nailed.

[@BiggieTuna760]

Thank you!

[@robertkeeverkeever6420]

Yeah I used to work on the Aztec to a long time ago add laundry detergent Long Beach sportfishing

[@aaronkelley8909]

you played the sinker rig fish like a boss

[@1hotahi964]

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!🎉

[@paulkronenberg-me7sl]

Great fish. Happy fishing

[@WashedKevin]

Hey Nick this is Kevin, awesome video and great job. Thanks for the fish as well, and great fishing with you

[@BiggieTuna760]

My man!! Can’t wait to see you on the next one brother!

[@WashedKevin]

@@BiggieTuna760 For sure, tight lines! 😄

[@tshark2787]

Awesome video, good job. Acid wrap can help with rod twist

[@rodolfogutierrez-qv6zo]

What a great catch great fishing guys good job

[@warren6172]

I feel like our gear is finally at the point where it’s not going to be outdated. Unless they go electric and have 100lb braid the size of 10lb test. That reel size is perfect

[@greggutierrez6997]

I kind of wondered about electric then an older man used it and slayed.

[@ChrisLong-ue4hy]

Great going on fishing trip there yall😅😅😅😅😅

[@brianconlogue1302]

Going on the boat in 2 months.. I cannot wait!

[@BiggieTuna760]

Great crew!

[@PeraltaFishingLife]

What phenix rod were you using

[@BiggieTuna760]

megaladon PE 6-10

[@TheFishermanExperience]

Awesome video, looks like an absolute blast! What rod were you using during the daytime fight of the 100+ pound BFT?

[@thatonebeone]

nice...good times there with my dad for decades.. sadly my dad passed away last year in july and been hard on me 😭im left with a;; his big game rods and reels he has gotten over the decades

[@TheFishermanExperience]

I’m sorry to hear that my friend, he sounds like a badass. I’m sure he’d want to you to use his tackle to keep catching jumbos until the day you meet again. I wish I had kept some of the reels my dad had given me, they are but memories now unfortunately. Cheers amigo 🍻

[@michaelfleder5591]

Nice job and video

[@Tony67032]

gosh what a fight, what phenix meg. was that

[@BiggieTuna760]

Such a fight. The PE 6-8 I believe

[@exasperatus2002]

What reel are you using?

[@BiggieTuna760]

Avet HXW with 100lb on a 2x4 seeker OSP for the first fish at night. The day fish was the Avet HX narrow with 80lb on the Phenix megaladon pe 6-10

[@ericwalz8145]

Just picked up a 2x4. Can’t wait

[@Hucklongfin]

@@BiggieTuna760I also use 60# on the HXR and 100# on the HXWR. I use the Mak 15T w/60# for the day time sinker rig.

[@ynicholasyu6599]

What was your tackle setup?

[@BiggieTuna760]

The night fish was a seeker OSP 2x4 80-130 rod with avet hxw and 100lb test with a 300 gram sk silver polka dot glow jig. The day fish was a phoenix megaladon jigging rod pe 6-10 with a drop shot sinker rig 12 oz sinker and 2/0 ringed circle hook. Avet hx reel with 80lb main and 60 lb leader

[@CyberUnicorns]

@@BiggieTuna760 how long is your leader and what type of knot do you tied it with?

[@jtuck682]

You expertly fought that fish! Your arm was probably burning up, but you didn't give an inch.

[@dennisg8334]

I read online you're not supposed to high stick that rod. At no point in time did you feel like that was a bad idea?

[@GrimReaper68440]

Hey friend, what Phenix rod are you using on your jig drop shot setup?

[@BiggieTuna760]

It’s the megaladon pe 6-10

[@qball8437]

We where out the following day on the 'new lo ann......got a 130lb and the deck boss landed a 230+ it taped at 225 but the damn thing was soooooo f'n fat it was funny......just a 'pig....

[@BiggieTuna760]

I was super fortunate to land two of the 7 caught on our trip. They were around the 100lb size

[@EdgarSanchez-nd3pq]

What size avet on that jig rod avet hx5/2?

[@Fishermang709]

Old school technique. Wear the arms and back out ! 🤣

[@dojo1249]
