To help those who are new to deep sea fishing, and never been on a charter. Please take note for bait selection part of this video. It will help tremendously when you're out there :)

Fun Fact: with the charter companies I worked for, their deckhands used tip money (which was their only pay) to pay people (me) to hand wash every drop of blood from the boat so it looks brand new for the next group the next day. Every drop of blood has to be gone and there can be no scales anywhere. It has to look clean enough for squimish types to feel clean on it. Hard job....but not as hard as being a deckhand.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

KandaPanda thanks for the share ! Crazy how spot less this boat has to be for the next day

[@luckycraftdave1065]

Shoutout to the deckhands! They make it all possible

[@evilpandakillabzonattkoccu4879]

@@luckycraftdave1065 those men and women are hard working people! Awe inspiring, especially once you try it. My old man took me charter fishing when I was a teen and I was so impressed with their customer service and their hard work that it stuck with me and my dad....then, my dad, well into his late 50's (keeping in mind that my dad has had 6 back surgeries, last one being a fusion....and hernia repair and had most of his colon and intestine removed due to diverticulitis at that point) decided to be a deckhand for a few seasons on a salmon and bottomfishing charter boat. Just.....wow, what an amazing dude! So, I would often wash his boat for free just because....Goddamn did he earn it. Those dudes are hard workers! They inspired me to teach myself and become and professional reel and rod repairman, which I did using nothing but library books, my dads old reels and a magnet (to fish for all the parts I kept dropping hahaha). So, yes: *_All deckhands, you have may respect_* (its the only group of workers I tip on principle) ......a TMI/TL;DR thing buuuut (fair warning) Coincidently, he is getting his neck fused in a month and this weekend will likely be the last fishing trip he and I ever have together. Hard to even type that without becoming a little bitch about it haha breaks my heart. No sympathy wanted...life is like that....just hard to watch a fisherman's last cast.

[@luckycraftdave1065]

KandaPanda Live the craft brother, fishing is an experience that can be felt in so many ways, and I’m glad you and your father get to bond through that. Best wishes to you and your old man

Rodney's Fishing Adventure I did, this past Saturday we hit them on the 182, epic foamers, non stop action. 4 hookups, 2 break offs, 2 landed, one 105-120 (never weighed it) and one 50 range. Wish we could add pictures here, but stay tuned for the upcoming video on my channel SoCalicoAndFriendsFishing, epic 2 hour battle with the big boy.

[@thomasrhim6141]

Great video Rodney, but to anyone watching this video, please don’t be that guy fishing a small reel on the bluefin. No fun watching one guy reel in a fish while the school moves off. Just cause it’s possible doesn’t mean you should do it

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Thomas Rhim thanks Thomas ! Yeah I wouldn’t recommend it . Under this circumstance I knew this was my chance to attempt the challenge. As others were catching and fighting fish before , during , and even after I had caught mine .

[@love2jibe]

Were you guys fly lining it or dropping sinker rigs on that long drift?

I agree with Rodney on the bait suggestion. Got my limits on Yellow Tail by Changing the bait almost every cast. Captain on the boat I went on not only encouraged it but almost demanded it.

[@kennyauduong6910]

Amazing catch!!! Kinda new to deep sea fishing. What kinda rod and reel were you using?

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Thank you! I was using a shimano inshore teramar rod with a lexa 400 , spolled with 50 lb braid and 40 top shot floro line, on a 2/0 circle hook. Personally I would not recommend this setup on any bluefin or tuna fishing. I would use a accurate or okuma 500 and up sized reels

[@kennyauduong6910]

Awesome. I just picked up a Lexa 400 and was looking for a rod to go with it. Was planning on using it for inshore. Thank you for the reply.

Would love to have an Accurate reel. On my bucket list. For what it is worth, I caught 2 - 30lb Bluefin on a Penn 500 Jigmaster for with an upgraded Drag system by Bryan Young for those on a budget.

[@arod919721]

I'm surprised they let you do it! Like you said in the description. The time it takes to fight on light tackle and the risk of being the only one fishing usually means that they won't let you. Glad they didn't cut you off and you got to land that fish. Good show!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

thanks! I knew of the captain and I told him that if Im the only "fish on" then I would have no problem cutting my own line, so no one would be waiting for me. Luckily there were other anglers fighting fish during and even after i landed mine :)

[@frankochoa9091]

Why would they have made you cut your line? I don’t understand that?

Time to get some stronger gear. These are not charters , these are open party sportfishing trips. Charter is a word more commonly used to describe a boat that has been booked for a private group of people/anglers. For example....Some fishing clubs or organizations might have several fishing charters available only to the people who belong to that group or are connected someway or somehow.
