Catch BIG False ALBACORE Easy!!!

Shore Jigging for False Albacore from shore is a challenge. Tuna, Little Tuna or False Albacore are a perfect target when shore jigging in winter. In this How To-Tutorial I talk about my experience with this species and give tips how to approach them.

Awesome Max, nice format to show, explain and growing knowledge. Thanks for that

Super Video, great knowledge, thanks for sharing and always tight lines! 😎

Thanks Magma, I hope to take the right actions when hooked a big False Albacore next time! Thanks bro 🙋‍♂️ TL Max

Geiles Video und Gratulation zum Fang, so ein dickes Ding gibt es nicht oft! Da bekomme ich richtig Lust direkt in der Flieger zu steigen..

[@maxdocken]

Danke dir Kasim, als nächstes auf die Spinning 🤪 Tight Lines Max

[@markusgottner2549]

Thx, Max. I didn't realize any mistake in the first place, but with your great explanations it absolutely makes sense. I guess even the other Pros can learn from you. Keep up the good work!

[@maxdocken]

Danke dir Markus 🤗 The best thing in fishing is you never stop learning. Even if you are expert in what you do change the field or species and it's necessary to adapt and learn again. That's what keeps fishing so interesting! Greetings my friend 🦑

[@bladivlogs]

It's part of the game, Marcos Vidalis said. That big false albacore is a beast, especially when it feels like it's in danger, great content keep it up

[@maxdocken]

Hi Bladi, yeah that's why it's good to not force the fish to quickly to the shore. Dynamite 🧨 below your feet isn't a good idea! 🤣 Tight lines Max

[@bladivlogs]

The most beautiful thing about this fish is the combat, so when I feel that it has hit me, I have fun with it as much as possible. I give it room to escape and bring it back exhausted so that it does not create chaos in front of very sharp stones. 😂😂🌊

[@maxdocken]

@@bladivlogs yes exactly the way to go! 🤙 Well done bro!

[@wasilijd]

Thank you for the video and for your experience you decided to share! It is one of my favourite fish species and i dream to catch a specimen as this one Tight lines!

[@maxdocken]

Hi Wasilijd, you are welcome - hope to get it soon, it's a great species to target. Next one I would like to get on spinning! 💥

Hello Max another great fish caught, Well done on the PB 😎👍🏼 and a good video explaining how to work out what species you are fighting quickly and how to fight it, while trying to be calm which is difficult 😅👍🏼

[@maxdocken]

Hello Dom, yes especially when Shore Jigging it's a challenge to stay calm. Many hours without a strike give your adrenaline a good reason to rush your veins... Tight Lines and thx for your comment! Max

Mega Video, sehr inspirierend. Ich mache gerade ein Trip durch Griechenland und komm auf noch keinen grünen Zweig. Speed- und Slowjiggs sind am Start. Irgendwelche Tips? Welche Tiefen fischst du?

[@maxdocken]

Das ist generell schwer zu sagen, ich würde mal zwischen 15 - 30 m suchen. Offene Bereiche und Capes für Tunnies, strukturreiche, felsige Bereiche für Dentex und Grouper. Ruhig auch mal Softbaits probieren. Viele Grüße Max

[@shorejiggerchris3364]

Max nice video!But a big albacore can cut you on rocks.I have been cut from a big one last year.It went straight on a cape and cut me on rocks.I wish it go in open but it didn't.Next day a friend caught a 13 kg of that but he was lucky to fight it on open water .Tight lines!

[@maxdocken]

Hey Chris, oh of course they can cut you - especially when the circle below your feet. But the don't aim for it like Amberjacks do. That's the game bro - we loose fish, especially with this difficult technique. When I think about my losses from the past few years I cry... 😭 Hope to get a second shot bro - fish hard! TL Max

02:34 fyi it works well with more challenging species like groupers and even their goliath relatives. They just love it.

[@maxdocken]

Thanks for your comment, unfortunately we don't have Goliath Groupers here in the Mediterranean, but good to hear that it works well! 💪 At least for our Groupers I wouldn't consider them as a smart species like snappers or so, If they are in the mood to feed they attack everything slow and in it's sight. Tight lines Max

[@hldemi_fishing]

@@maxdocken Thats true for smaller grouper species... Bigger groupers are kinda like humans.. Definitely one of the smartest fish in the sea. If you manage to speak with experienced spearfishing divers ask them if they think that groupers are stupid and prepare to hear some of the craziest stories ever.... Their game with holes is so sophisticated and reaction to the speargun is on whole different level.... its insane how smart they are. Also their cooperation with some other species like muray eels and stealing the fish from divers... Dentex is also very smart I agree but I would not say its smarter than grouper... Just more in control of its predatory instict. Similar to the AJ. It has the best fighting IQ but still its high predatory instict make them easy to strike especially smaller ones.

[@maxdocken]

@@hldemi_fishing that might be true, old fish are most of the time somehow smart. From the perspective as a shore angler we deal most of the times with the smaller individuals, if we hook a big one from shore the chances are close to zero and these fish are not the really big ones. Greetings to Croatia 🙋‍♂️

[@AlexHerciu]

Very nice! Very nice fish, very nice to see your girlfriend helping you, very nice rod, and very good learner.

[@maxdocken]

Thanks Alex, if she is around the big fish strike... 😅 Greetings Max 🙋‍♂️

[@jasonspiteri9196]

Hi my friend with type of rod are you fishing with thanks for your help thanks

[@maxdocken]

Hi Jason, in this video I fish the Zenaq Muthos Accura 100 H Type R - a very nice rod you will have fun with 3 kg fish but also can handle easily big fish. Check my KZbin Playlist "Zenaq Type R", I gathered all videos with this rod there. Tight lines bro 🙌

[@jasonspiteri9196]

Thanks for your response Max i am interested to buy a zenaq accura H or the HH the late version what do you think about this rods . Thanks for your help

[@maxdocken]

@@jasonspiteri9196 I have only the Muthos Accura 100H, and fished the 100 HH only once. For my fishing here in the Mediterranean Sea the 100 H is perfect, 100 HH is needed only in some rare and special situations. If you are in between both rods, consider also the new Muthos Accura 95 H roughly it's a combination of H and HH. Tight lines Max

Welchen Gaff hast du Max?

[@maxdocken]

Hi Thomas, meistens benutze ich ein Balzer Gaff in der Länge 1,8 m. Tut gute Dienste schon viele Jahre allerdings musst du die Spitze mit einem Schleifstein nachschärfen bevor es in den Einsatz geht. Für hohe Spots hab ich noch ein 4m Tele-Gaff (no name), ist aber relativ schwer und brauche ich selten. TL Max

[@thomasstokas3505]

@@maxdocken danke für die Antwort Max. Das Angebot von Gaffs, was die Nutzung aus den Felsen bzw vom Ufer angeht, finde ich echt traurig. Tight Lines!

[@maxdocken]

@@thomasstokas3505 ja das stimmt, wobei ich sagen muss, das ich mit dem in 95% der Fälle sehr gut zurecht komme. Zu Beginn hab ich auch immer nach längeren Gaffs gesucht, aber nichts wirklich gefunden. Die Karbongaffs brechen super schnell, wenn sie nicht absolut vertikal (Spundwand) belastet werden. Nach was genau suchst du? Grüße 🙋‍♂️

[@thomasstokas3505]

@@maxdocken Karbongaffs vermeide ich auch aus dem selben Grund. Ich suche nach einem robuster, der min 1.8m lang und ausziehbar ist. Ich habe vor kurzem einen von der Firma Oceanic gekauft, war allerdings überhaupt nicht qualitativ, der Klebstoff zwischen der Teilen hat sich gelöst und bei dem ersten Einsatz sind die Teile rausgerutscht 🤦‍♂

[@maxdocken]

@@thomasstokas3505 wie gesagt ich hab das Balzer 1,8 m Gaff seit einigen Jahren im Gebrauch und es macht perfekte Arbeit, nur die Spitze muss man nachschleifen, das geht aber problemlos. Viele Grüße Max

Hi Max, for you, which is more powerful Zenaq Muthos 93M or the 100M. thank you

Hi 🙋‍♂️ I think the power is pretty much the same - maybe 93M is slightly more powerful, but it's hard to notice. In a couple of weeks I release a video sharing my impressions about Sonio 93M and 100M
