BUILT D I F F E R E N T. Honestly Gabe taking a shot of straight soy sauce was worse than the heart 😂😂😂 what an awesome memory with you guys. Gabe is the only person I would let rig his own bait and yell at me to grab a gaff 😂

[@bohemiangypsy99]

Joe you, Gabe and Kelly truly have a great friendship and Capt. Bob is the man, so darn funny lol. Michelle

The Captain’s energy is awesome 💯

I live vicariously through your videos! I'm just an old grandma now but I'm still a Florida girl at heart and used to do all the stuff you do. I said yesterday's video was the most exciting you've ever made but I was wrong this one beat the heck out of that! I never caught a tuna and I wish I had!

I am paralyzed and I’ve been in the chair for going on six years this August I Was shot 10 times while celebrating At a tailgate in Flint Michigan. Since my accident I have been in a lot of pain and really depressed but while watching your videos it takes the pain away and makes me really happy just by watching you guys have fun and enjoying each other‘s time as a family and with friends

[@arthurledezma9003]

YES!!! BlueGabe is on the board y’all!!! Whatta monster!! Right in the corner! That sucker wasn’t getting away with that rig in him! Tuna steaks for days! Save some for 🍱 rolls, poke bolls, burritos, you name it! Congrats Gabe!

[@rolandoaguilera4216]

Ohh man what an experience!!! Great video!!! 👍💪👏👏👏

[@christopherf6524]

Now that my boy is a VIDEO holy cow loved everything about it. Great team work fellas 👍💪👍💪💪💪👍. Thanks for the video y'all stay safe....damn that was awesome

[@kevinkawamoto7322]

The real accomplishment is catching ahi with 80lb test & a used leader. I take only 15 minutes with 400lb test trolling lure or 250lb test palu ahi leader. Once I get the head turned it's coming in. Don't have to worry about breaking the leader. Congratulations Gabe & Kelly!!!! Tight lines

[@jameswalters4358]

Lol the ending with the heart revealed once again blue gabes gag reflex. Weak stomachs are us.

[@douglasjohnson4557]

Joe, you gonna let him keep calling you Joey? He even put it in the subtitles 😂 Awesome fish, Gabe!

[@joevtfishing]

He’s just doing it on purpose now 😂 I’ll allow it this time lol

Best video yet! I'm definitely sharing this one!

Not sure I could have gotten him in with the rod holder, that was one big powerful fish great job

[@rayleo529]

Man....that was crazy. I was so into it that I was breathing like I was cranking for you Gabe. Stinking awesome. Kelly....you might want to work with Blue Gabe on getting those muscles rock hard for these types of fights.

[@leskobrandon3497]

Nothing like a little tag team action . That's money dude 😁Very exciting to watch . Thanks

[@jurassicsushi]

I freaking love the energy of the capt and crew on this boat & I damn nearly spit out my coffee from laughing when Capt' gagged on the tuna heart haha. I would have gone straight over the back of the boat when that tuna hooked up & would have been screaming "I wasn't Ready!!! and I'm 400 pounds to boot. A 30 pound striped bass will yank you over if you aren't prepared. Never under estimate the power of a big fish. Congrats Gabe & Kelly on some Beauties'

[@Wizzeled85]

Thank you for taking us with you!! Awesome REAL video! And what a fish!! 👏👏👏👏💪💪👍❤️

[@calebtweet3572]

I’ve seen a bunch of comments about the fish and the fight, and don’t get me wrong they did an amazing job. But that captain, that captain is worth his weight in gold and probably has forgot more fishing knowledge then I’ll ever know. Great video bg.🙏

[@lloydryan7716]

They should have a reward for catching those Tuna. Your and Kelly's battle with your fish were epic. Kelly special Kudos for fighting your fish off the harness for a while.

[@RustyReels]

I like how the captain coaches. That’s awesome!

[@bobbofly]

8:02 - the way it mimics a sick/injured fish is perfect. They'll hit on that all day.

[@SouthWestIron]

One of the best videos yet! When the Capt. mentioned we are going to, " break his spirit" all the sudden I got the imagery of a wild mustang being caught. Wow! That was intense and most awesome.

[@bryancenac4630]

You need to take just jake out in the blackjack one day and let him decide what he wants to fish for within reason.

[@BluegabeArrington]

Awesome idea 👊

[@mikeludwikowski7050]

Most impressive time on camera without hearing Joey say anything! Damn y’all! I’m amazed! Lol 😂 good times! Thanks for sharing!

[@djribby4901]

The gagging was hilarious

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Duuuuude!!!! That ballyhoo would work on ANY fish!!! Snook, reds, tarpon, grouper, bass. Literally ANY fish!!!! When you reeled thru that pool I said HOLY SHEETS!!!!! It looks absolutely alive!!! Great video my man🙏🤘🤘💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@oraclefoundation1921]

Gabe and JoeyVT you crazy! You crack me up with your gag reflex. 🤣 I say eating the fresh heart in anything caught of size be new tradition! Nice catch 🐟

[@donr416]

Definitely a community effort. It takes a team - and luck.

[@ronaldpetersen255]

BG, congrats on your awesome Tuna, what a beast!! Sweet video per usual, keep up the great work……. Had to laugh at the up chucking of the heart, you gave it an honest effort so kudos😎

[@oriolcuba]

@bluegabe I have watched... probable HUNDREDs of this ""how to rig a ballyhoo videos... by far, this is the simplest.... Having the weight perfectly in the middle is a big thing to avoid rotation.. really appreciated!

[@alfredomorales8096]

Gabe there's hundreds of video of how to ballyhoo and for me that follow you on how to. This way you are showing found it to be the best and easy way. Thanks.

Holy cow! I haven't been on the edge of my seat like that since Kelly's tuna video! You two have got this editing game DOWN!! Anybody else get "Jaws" vibes when that bouy went screaming over the side?

[@madampolo]

What an awesome fight! No way would I have taken a bite out of that heart. I'd be hanging over the side of that boat, too, if I saw someone do that. Awesome video!

[@NinetyOneAdventures]

Oh my that ending!!! LOL!!! 😂🤣

[@noelwest8234]

AWESOME!! AWESOME!! AWESOME!! I need to find some more adjectives to describe yours and Kelly's videos. Love them. Looks like You, Kelly and JooooE VT (no Y) just had a blast on this trip. The fishing sure look great and I would love to do that but, hunting to Nutra Rats is a other level of fun. If you were to post the whole fight I would make a big bowl of popcorn, maybe an adult beverage and watch it over and over. Next time you head to Venice I hope to see the boys with you and Kelly. Shout out to the boys.

[@jonmann3216]

Damn!!! Gabe that was Outstanding brother!, My Old Butt would have asked for an Electric reel...LMAO!!!🤣

[@rickyrox341]

Hi Gabe. I love your exciting and adventurous videos. I'm from Minnesota and have been an avid hunter & fisherman my whole life. I'm just too old to do what I used to do now. I haven't done much ocean fishing, so I learn a lot from you. So, in return for your great tips, I've got one for you. You'll find this is a game changer when using dead baits. You just put your dead baits in a ziplock bag and pour in a bunch of Twenty Mule Team Borax that you can find cheap in the laundry aisle, Borax is absolutely odorless and tasteless, so it doesn't impart any odor or flavor to the bait. It will keep the baits fresh without refrigeration for many days and the bait stays firm but not stiff. Try it sometime. We actually think it helps us catch a lot more fish than frozen or salted baits. Good Luck!

[@ArdRick1]

caught lots of tuna and watched lots of your vids. these last two of you and Kelly catching those YF are nothing short of epic. best videos of fishing I've seen on you tube. great job.

[@BluegabeArrington]

Thank you 👊

[@ihone]

beautiful fish there Gabe! I caught my 1 and only YFT on a party boat, 195 miles south of Galveston. On. A. Dare. 30 pound braid, 80 lb fluoro leader, rooster popper. On a 7'7" UglyStik Inshore rod with a 4500 series spinning reel - the crew dared me to try and I'm always up for a good fight with with a bruiser fish. 3rd cast - and boom! I fought that 72 pounder for nearly 40 minutes before the crew finally was able to land him. So yes - the stand-up game (even on that small tuna) is a rough one! I can only imagine a 180+ lb tuna ..... Good sh*t brother!

I love it all the way, and that is the truth, this is very nice to see. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC. For I love everything that you all put on here.

[@squirrelgunsmith1131]

I think Gabe has the right idea about how to eat the heart. I have eaten some weird stuff but sometimes ya gotta have the sauce. Tuna is an acquired taste anyway.
