Good video, thank you to Fisherman’s Processing for being so cordial. They will have my business 👍

[@cousinjim1]

they do a good job tight lines and big fish

[@cobbs]

The most amazing thing about this vid is that your dad is 90! Holy cow! I hope to be just as fit when I'm his age. Good stuff! I'm going tuna fishing for the first time this summer, and I'm gonna try to process the fish myself to save some $$$. We'll see how it goes. I've heard that it can be a physically demanding and time-consuming process. Thanks for the vid!

[@cousinjim1]

it takes hours because our household vacuum packer only does one bag at a time, but it can be done.

[@random1883]

If you get one over 100 pounds, I'd recommend you get it processed by the professionals.

[@cousinjim1]

@@random1883 agreed!

[@JasonAndrade427]

Nice video Jim, I'm going in June for some blue fin and have them booked to process my fish! Thanks for sharing!!

[@cousinjim1]

very good processer tight lines

[@jcurrran7256]

Fisherman’s processing is the best!! Some boats are contracted with them. I’ve gone to them for 4-5 years and their options/flexibility is unbeatable!

[@cousinjim1]

I sure enjoyed meeting them and their processing procedure is on point

[@davidyork751]

This is a great video Jim, and wow your dad looks great, your entire family is beautiful, I hope to fish with you sometime.

[@cousinjim1]

hope to see you out there

[@MrKenwillis]

@@cousinjim1 wow I see you caught a bigger fish on this trip, congrats Cousin Jim. Can you or do you remember the size of the Penn fathom reel that the drag blew up after he fought the fish for a hour and a half? That really would suck , but that’s fishing. Great video Jim and keep on bringing us the bloody deck and Tight Lines!

[@cousinjim1]

@@MrKenwillis i remember the guys name it was Pablo but not the reel size

[@MrKenwillis]

@@cousinjim1 I asked because I have the Penn fathom 30 and that is the reel I caught my 140 pounder on. I also have the Penn fathom 40 2nd generation and the Penn fathom 60 all two speeds but I like my speed master 16,20 and 25. Either way you look at it I’m ready

[@cousinjim1]

@@MrKenwillis I think his fish was a beast of over 300#

Hi Jordan!

tight lines!

[@lingcod]

Your dad is 90 and he looks like he could be your brother

[@cousinjim1]

yes he is a lucky man

[@user-om7ii6zp6o]

Do you need to reserve fish processing in advance? What if i don't have fish, do they charge?

[@shaundm78]

Great video! Do you need to make an appointment with them before your trip? Or were they there when you pulled on to the dock?

[@cousinjim1]

if the trip gets in early in the morning there are 3 processors waiting if later in the day you have to take them to them this trip we were 6 hours late but the captain called and asked them to meet us at the dock so I did not have to take my fish to them

[@jeffreyharley1480]

Very cool. Comparing to how BF are cut up in Japan, with large extremely sharp knives, I’m surprised how small the knives are thet they use. Oh, and what do you do with all thst meat?

[@cousinjim1]

I thought the same thing

[@tamalpias]

Jim 2.5 day trip pacific dawn 9/24-9/27 join the boat, it's an ultra limited load of just 15 anglers, let's goooooo I need you to hook up and hand me your lucky rod, I have been on 5 trips and have never broken the triple digit size tuna yet. I need your luck. 😂

[@johnfirat5502]

ill do it myself...

[@cousinjim1]

I have many times but I hope you enjoyed the content

[@tonytran3830]

How much was it to process your tuna?

[@cousinjim1]

$1.85 per pound I had just over 200# it will taste fresh for over a year

[@661godislove7]

How much does it cost to process your fish like this? How much did it cost you?

[@VQR2D2]

depends on the processor of your choice. For these guys its $1.85/lb i belive, for five star i think its $1.65/lb

[@JJSquishypants]
