Harpooning a Giant Bluefin Tuna

Harpooning my first Giant Bluefin Tuna aboard the Lily with Capt. Hollywood and crew

[@marleyboy7732]

Is there something else on the tip of that spear? Cause the fish looks dead at the moment of impact. I thought these fish were huge fighters. Great video though.Thanks for sharing.

[@imgrindin]

I can't tell where they hit it at but I'm sure if they knock it in the spine or skull it's game set match, I was waiting for the fight as well. Maybe they tired it out on a rod and reel first?

[@marleyboy7732]

@@imgrindin You could be right. I didnt even think about that. Been watching a lot of deep sea fishing but never saw a tuna large or small go down that easy though.

[@littlebustersoysters9229]

There is a zapper that hits the fish with an electric shock and kills them instantly.

[@upsidedahead]

That was nice how u guys hooked it into the boat by it's eye. Well done

[@RonKris]

Good job, fellas. Thanks for the lesson. I have never seen it done before.

[@brennanbrownlow5551]

Love the song! That’s my brothers band👍🏼👍🏼

[@paulosimo5869]

This is hands down the most efficient, sustainable, and ecologically responsible way to harvest these animals. To those of you who are arguing "try catching one with real fishing equipment blah blah blah", please take into account that these guys aren't sport fishing, and also, (if you've ever even been out big game fishing) think about the last time you got spooled by a fish and the animal you killed by letting that occur. It's true bluefins are in a whole lot of trouble, but until they are on the actual endangered species list, people are allowed to fish for and keep them according to the laws of the country they sail out of. If you have an issue I recommend bothering the fine people over at the National Marine Fisheries Service or the National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration Fisheries division, and maybe refrain from whining about it on someone's KZbin video.

[@XSRtiliry420]

if they are not "sport" fishing then WTF are they doing? survival hunting? life or death starvation? or just in it for the money, witch would bring it back to "sport" fishing... we all know people dont play "sport" just for the fun of it, and if they did do it just for the fun of it, then it would be a real sport....

[@shedioglassworks6073]

XSRtiliry they're selling the fish commercially. It's their job, which equates it to survival hunting. They sell the fish to make money to feed their families. How does being in it for the money equal sport fishing? Go stuff your face with kale and stfu.

[@eatbabys1212]

They are legally endangered.

[@paulosimo5869]

The Atlantic swordfish's conservation status is "least concern".

[@eatbabys1212]

This is bluefin tuna, not a swordfish.

[@juanjoseespinozaflores8720]

2:01 for a moment I thought I heard Captain Barbosa from Pirates of the Caribbean. Great video. Love this content 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@adrianmunoz8670]

So cool how you were able to get all those shots !!! 👍🏼

[@me-cq7wv]

Good video and top marks on the fishing.

[@donaldkeyes214]

that looks like a blast! the biggest thing you catch around here is northern pike... or muskie 50 inch-60 inch max pretty much

[@duckhunter0420]

Always Alright "Alabama Shakes" great music!!

[@johnnycollings4388]

You had me with the Alabama snakes! You guys are amazing!!

[@juliog.7037]

I really don't care what people say but This is is such an amazing video! I would love to try this some day. That takes such good skills. Good job dude!

[@jamesrivis620]

Saw a 750 lb Bluefin hauled in to East Point , PEI some years back. Japanese buyer paid $26,000 on the dock. Flown in ice from Charlottetown to Halifax and non stop to Tokyo by the following day.

[@CosmicSpiral777]

Amazing video. Good music. Monster fish. You have to respect the harpoon guys.

[@gianttunafisher]

+Chris W you are some kind of idiot!!....as for respect...are you joking?Does he hunt deer with planes also?? i dont think so.....but then again...an idiot like that just might!!

[@CosmicSpiral777]

+gianttunafisher Spoken like a true Canadian socialist fucktard.

[@gianttunafisher]

+Chris W ...Is that the best you have for a comeback? I suppose it is as you only have two clues , and one is chasing the other.When all else fails , resort to name calling , lmao....typical ignorant to real life american.!!

[@halheywood3910]

You have dough .credit .Good equipment . And a real rig . And are willing to work . All is possible

[@jmtigerfan4765]

That was cool. Drone footage of this would be awesome.

[@JA-il6eu]

Wow this is so cool!

[@tomthebomb171]

Amazing video!!! Well done. That’s tough

[@ma.crhistinaarcilla6013]

awesome catch 😁😅😍😍

[@sean89765]

Love it! Good catch boys

[@hectorlorenzo6662]

This is amazing great work guys great work

[@markmarsh27]

Holy SHIT .... Those two tunas are worth a F**KING FORTUNE!

[@wingplum]

This skill is art.

[@IBK2434]

The sKILL is art

[@jamesrivis620]

How much did you get for the two ? Once in PEI I saw 750 lb Tuna brought into port. The buyer was waiting on the dock and gave the fisherman a $26,500 check. The head and tail were removed, guess they cleaned it,then it was put into a reinforced, lined box (on a wooden skid ) full of ice and water, onto a truck for the drive to Halifax airport where it was flown to Tokyo , all within 36 hours.

[@oldhabbitts8219]

I know I don’t have the courage to step up and fish this way (I’d fall off before making it to the point or piss myself trying lol 😂) too bad looks scary yet exciting & I love “fishing” All the best & remember your quota LoL Tried to get that great 👍 song in the link but wasn’t successful could you send me the name THx~~~Good Job

[@klew262]

Nice catch boys

[@SayersAveRed]

Great throw 👌

[@agungwisnawa2155]

Nice picture.....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@xenoveno6496]

These Are Atlantic Bluefin Tuna And Are Endangered Unlike The Normal Bluefin Tuna Which Are Smaller And Are On The Least Concern List Thats Why It IS HARD TO FIND Atlantic Bluefin Tuna AND THATS WHY U HAVE TO CHASE THEM DOWN

[@狼牙-i2r]

isn't that exactly whyvyou shouldn't chase them down???

[@fishingunlimited1139]

Actually Atlantic bluefin tuna isn’t endangered

[@jeepsuc99]

So much misinformation in one reply. It's amazing

[@peterczako6661]

Nice way to pull the second one on the boat to hook it in its eye...

[@tylerdigiacomo1541]

iv watched a lot of videos this one is my favorite

[@manaralilian6855]

You doing great...

[@abielgonzalez9304]

How do they stone the fish like that bro these guys are incredible

[@jeremyfragua4110]

Awesome blood splatter at 2:40.

[@stevej8707]

These fish are very beneficial meals for the predators in the oceans. Seems like we’re taking their food.

[@adamm2675]

Where do I sign up looks fun as hell!!

[@markmoore7042]

Just subbed, i will definitely go harpoon a bluefin. Bet that was exhausting waiting that long

[@romli0533]

amazing good job😱😱😱

[@guppymely9096]

Đẳng cấp quá tôi ngưỡng mộ họ việt nam ơi xem nè

[@xDANNYTHEBLADEx]

I cant get over how they can fit something that big in a can

[@upsidedahead]

x DANNYTHEBLADE x john west can

[@nickhall1376]

Lol let me know where you are buying bluefin tuna in a can. I'd love some.

[@darthmal]

That's because what you get in the can is actually dolphin, which are much smaller. Don't let the "NO DOLPHIN" sticker in the can fool you. The cans are made in North Korea!

[@edwinwong5189]

Bluefin don’t make it into a “can” these days. Albacore and other smaller tuna do. At the biggest and best it’s yellowfin. Once upon a time bluefin tuna was considered junk. Cat food or trash. Not anymore bro. That’s all destined to be sashimi in Japan for big dollars.

[@BouncyBunny-h2v]

Arent you funny!

[@michelledonovan2268]

What song is playing.I looove it!

[@mattbrown7642]

Ya'LL got skills!!! No doubt!!! Wish I knew how!

[@briang1561]

I thought you supposed to keep tuna cooled if its not in salt water.

[@hoggishgreedly9558]

you stuck him good! awesome vid and awesome pics

[@Gentle_Spirit777]

Nicely done... 😊👍

[@hectorquezada1331]

Looks sooo tasty!!!

[@royalandrosey]

I would loved to have seen a giant mako start tearing it up in the water

[@sumoninja141]

How do they die so fast? I thought they were gonna run for a bit at least

[@agebukahsay9772]

Electric shock which stuns them temporarily. Then they just bleed out I guess

[@deannakoa3]

I would love to go do this

[@sullifishing4035]

2 Bluefin probably close to 10k not a bad day of work at all.

[@RohtoUser]

Sulli Fishing each one of those can be 10k ea

[@sullifishing4035]

rohtoUser Very true.It all depends on the fat quality of the fish.

[@AotearoaChef]

I just watched a video on eater earlier, the king of tuba at the market said that they often get tuna speared in the most valuable part of the flesh rather than the head. He bought one for 57k usd

[@PinkCiuciuFloyd]

Mmm not bad? Of course, if you like the idea of killing an animal of an endangered specie for money. I could not do something like that, it's worst than a human hate assassination.

[@euphoriaeuphoria75]

I would've bought a Lamborghini if i'm from that locality.

[@edneybronisio8179]

Muito bom tem vaga aí para eu trabalhar com vcs . Top top demais!!! Sou Brasileiro.

[@dwilhelm9614]

looks fun. Awsome song too.. everyone is so worried about the fish. I'm pretty sure someone ate it. heck sticky traps for mice are more inhumane than this.

[@yvel-oinaru5672]

Só pode ter veneno na ponta dessa lança, nunca vi um peixe morrer tão rápido.

[@rafaelrolim9047]

Corrente elétrica, aquele cabo na pança passa corrente e o peixe morre com o choque

Fantastic i love this fishing!!!!

This is a nice sized 25- 30 lbs yeiiowfin This is not a juvenile ! For gods sake, the guy is yelling for a gaff !! Reading the negative Icomments its obvious none of you are fishermen You are hyper-sensitive and probably dont get out much If you need to be upset , Giant commercial Net boats Catch TONS of tuna with each set of theyre nets and are wiping them out Dont get mad because this guy got lucky . Tuna inthe harbor Who wood a thunk it ?

[@notaclue638]

You're clearly not a fisherman if u think either of there fish are 25-30 lb

[@kwayneg7]

Amazing job. How much was the total cost for the vessels trip, crew and eyes in the sky. Just curious.

[@supfoo9221]

Not as much as the price of that tunas Meat! Above 5k for sure lol.

[@buckwheat7424]

i shit you not, one week i jumped in this water 30 ft deep around los angeles, visibility was less that 5ft. i had a single broken band pole spear. by myself, nervous, a flash of orange goes by my sight, a really good size flash. so i kneeled on the ground, cocked the pole and waited another minute, a 20+lb sheephead again came in sight, i took a shot it hit and bounced off the fishes head, and fish fell to the ground and was in a tremor like seizure, i grabbed him and started going to the surface knowing he was gonna wake up on the way, he did, i put him in the boat, the spear hit him in the front tooth. and knocked him out. the next week i took a small single band gun. same thing happened, i couldn't believe it either, i don't remember if it his tooth or penetrated a half in hole in another 20 lb sheephead'd head but it also fell out upon impact and this one it killed it instantly, never came back to life. sheep head are like black widows, if you kill the big one, the little ones or one in the area go on supercharge mode and get big over night.

[@dwetick1]

Fish are jolted with an electrical shock, which kills them instantly.

[@cevan4156]

D Wetick thanks. I was wondering.

[@archiej6386]

D Wetick 4:20 it doesn't look instant

[@Coribec]

@Cheng Lee Would it be humane to treat a person that way?

[@Coribec]
