Commercial Tuna Fishing, West Coast New Zealand

Matt Watson takes on a role as deckhand aboard a commercial tuna boat where he has to work alongside the other crew and hand line tuna to be exported for sale, but Matt smuggles on board some fishing gear to try for something bigger, a broadbill swordfish.

Dammit son I was ready for the sword battle. I grew up comercial fishing and shrimping.... i do miss being on the water every day and night....

[@BaitBallin]

Lures are so close to the boat...love it. Can't wait to get out there again

[@minibar7165]

I love your de-hooking platform, a much needed feature, at the rate you're catching these tunas. It's amazing how you keep all those liens from tangling. Great fun watching your video - cheers

[@blackboifishing2352]

I pulled a 75kgs bluefin tuna on a hand line from a persane boat in Australia port lincoln love it on the ocean and most importantly the best fishing show on the planet

[@paulogomes7441]

[@windchange2175]

Small fish why don't you put them back in the water?

[@loganlee7510]

I saw you at Dosi Eoboo. :D So warm and fun guys.

[@ProcopiosFishingAdventuresUAE]

Awesome video. So interesting to watch..

[@alastar3690]

Anybody else see the 2 dolphins breach the surface of the water (7:18)

[@andressoliven3225]

Nice trick Matt.👍👍👍

[@jadrankodolovcak627]

Agree only hooks for fishing, ban big nets

[@sammyvukovic4998]

So how much could that fish sell for ?And how many liters do you reckon that diesel spends on a trip? Any opinions?

[@xx1590]

Don't you bleed your tuna?

[@xx1590]

To much talk and not enough about how the equipment works or how the fish are handled.

[@jamesonpowers4223]

In Hawaii the albacore are 50lbs +

[@jackiefitzpatrick2906]

Shame they kept the babies...and they were small ! So much for future stocks of tuna.

[@FroJoeBro]

Is there a video of the sword?

[@a.g.s.shibumi7444]

Hey just a question: Hoe many lures did you have suspended to catch tuna? I counted around 5 on each side plus the two on the back, so maybe there were twelve, but can you correct me if I'm wrong? Thank you. Lovely video, your energy is awesome I love watching your videos!

[@telitoviliamu9292]

How much for this kind of boat

[@johnhunter6395]

7:15 you can see two dolphins to the left of him.

[@armie_nz7946]

Saw that ... thought it was hard case as he is talking about how big the ocean is and remote ... and they are not even going in the same direction as the boat ...

[@daramuda46]

wowwwwww....

[@1439241]

Who makes the lures these guys use? Where can they be purchased? Cheers

[@powerdealer8]

Matt why do you have a bandage on your right hand?

[@jackiefitzpatrick2906]

Not brain spiked or bleed and they are going to be shipped overseas ? Right.

[@thescottishpiker2010]

7:18 dolphins jumping and he doesn’t even notice!

[@taewoobang5738]

Wt happen to your hand?!?!

[@johnnydornan9573]

Nothing pulling lures allday destroys the palms and fingers bro.. plus it helps grip the line when pulling them in

[@stixx3690]

At 7:16 there are dolphins behind him

[@ngkokbeng]

This is NOT the same boat as Enchanter 's Cova Rose?

[@rowdogg2006]

same boat yeah.

[@joechan8223]

let the fish line wrap on your hands when pulling the fish is dangerous, don't you know that? you can get your hand cut by the line, when a bigger fish, say a shark, strikes on the tuna you are pulling

[@kenjihojyo717]

when you wrap the line around your hand you do it as if you were leadering a fish in, if you point your hand towards the fish, the line coils out leaving your hand free, Matt has been doing that for years, he knows what he's doing

[@tomlegat-parker5099]

Hooks must hurt the fish so bad

[@victorvandyke9898]

Yeah the oceans man, it's eat or be eaten for 99.5% of all creatures in the ocean.

[@andresuter5532]

No thumbs up for commercials, sorry! 👎

[@rock3times]

A lot of albacore

[@maverickspearfishing9165]

Spear fishing may be more sustainable

[@MenCanNotBeWomen]

[@ryanbowes5243]
