Fishing for Giant Amberjacks and Tuna on Oil Rigs

In this video, I fly to Louisiana to go fishing for amberjack and tuna on oil rigs with my good friend Captain Blake from Tripletail Charters. Blake and I drove 60 miles to an offshore oil rig and starred vertical jigging dropped for tuna. We fished around the drilling ship, trying different spots. The first fish that we caught was a barracuda. After the barracuda, I managed to catch four Blackfin tunas on the jig. The tuna fishing got slow, so we decided to travel to a different oil rig and try fishing for amberjacks. The first amberjack was an absolute monster!! This fish pulled drag so fast and broke us off in the wreck. After losing that monster, we continued fishing and I managed to catch the biggest amberjack of my life (55-60lbs)! Louisiana is a fun place to catch big fish, and I will be back soon!

If I could give one tip- you easily have some of the best fishing content in the world not just on youtube. But you lack that many of the viewers would be interested in just a brief 30 seconds going over what your setup is...line, leader, hooks ect. Keep up the great work!

[@js123able]

"Don't put any more drag" *increases drag* "Oh he broke us off wasn't happening"

[@RagnarokCo]

Was he supposed to let it spool him? You have to turn the fish eventually.

[@slyarsenal]

@@RagnarokCo It was getting dragged out the reef by the boat you moron. More drag means you pull hooks on the fish.

[@Jason.outdoors]

Or straighten them

[@aleanufopilotftlcertified5663]

Was fishing the jetty at Surfside beach in Tx during spring break sr year high school 1976. Bait fish were swarming/schooling so thick by the jetty you could almost walk on them. Penn 109 reel and 5 1/2 ft med action rod w/20 lb mono. Snagged a baitfish and swung it out @ 20 ft and WHAM!! before it hit bottom. Took 200 of 300 yds of line before I turned it...briefly. The AJ ran again with the drag SO damned tight. Came less than 10 yds from getting spooled. Thought for sure the line would break. Several charter boats were in on the action and I almost lost my fish to one but he was a little bit farther out than the fish was. Lucky he wasn't there 3 minutes earlier. Back and forth and up and down the jetty. Finally got the fish into my aluminum bass net which immediately broke and dumped the fish back into the water. Finally got it onto the jetty where it immediately bit off the tip of my buddy's thumb as he tried to remove the hook. PB to this day, 29 lbs. 45 minute fight, right hand and left arm cramping from the newbie fighting a big fish. Toted that fish around for the next few hours bragging about it. I buried it later that night, such a waste and sorry to this day that I didn't eat it or release it. But I did learn from the experience and haven't wasted the resource a single time since. Release most of them healthy and I eat the gut hooked ones. Live in the Brazos River RV Park in Gholson. Still trying to fish every day being as I live about 100 yds away from the river. Guess you can say that I'm hooked. 😉 🐳🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🦈

Hey Josh , Brett from Niagara Falls, just started watching your videos and love the excitement you get with the monsters, just saw you were a local boy from Windsor. We usually strike out on the upper and lower Niagara River and Lake Erie and Ontario , actually went out today on the upper river, around Navy Island , and even into the chipawa river, we never have any luck, spinners , worms, jigs , rapalas ... any advice for this area? We dont always go out in the boat, we shore fish as well... We are going up to our favorite area in a couple of weeks to Lake Simcoe , Lake Muskoka and the Trent Severn with our boat for a few days and hope we dont strike out there... Love the videos Josh , we are hoping to come down in Jan or Feb for a week to break up the winter, and hope to have one or 2 days of fishing, hope to cross paths... Cheers! Brett and Jessica
