How to Catch and Troll Blue Runners (Hardtails) for Kingfish

[@brycehartzog8154]

Blue runners love the banana pompano style wacky rigs with an additional stinger hook about a foot up the line on a dropper loop. Pre rig on 25 lb mono.

This video was extremely helpful to me, thanks so much @ReelHazardous for making this video. Just three days ago actually i caught my first ever king mackerel it was probably about 20 pounds. So I started to scour the internet looking for more helpful tips and tricks and I ran into you. Just wanted to say thanks again for such a helpful video. Also, if you have any tips for me, as I am new to king fishing, that would be extremely helpful, I fish out Ocean Isle so anything would help because i am such a rookie. Things like water depth, skirts, rigs, etc would help a ton, thanks again!

Great video. I’m not throwing a cast net yet so catching bait at the north jetty for now. How far out do you have to go for Blue Runners? Is 9 mile or MR a good distance?

[@cfhwrestling9352]

Your very underrated honestly

[@ReelHazardous]

Thank you!

[@cfhwrestling9352]

Reel Hazardous no problem

[@jimmayors2315]

Was hopping you'd show how you rigged the blue runner for trolling kings. Otherwise, excellent video

[@jtbell8296]

Yeah no kidding. Wtf

[@talalalshamroukh8291]

[@franciscofernandes5321]

Hi sir can you please tell me which is the best size hook for kingfish wahoo that will be great of your thanks

[@ricardobriceno2599]

Hello my friend im from mexico and im your fan and suscriptor🤗 ...who type of hooks are you using to fish the king fish? here on caribbean sea i fish the king fish at night whith a alive yellow tail and snapper.but its really hard to catch them😓😓

[@ReelHazardous]

Thanks Ricardo! I use an owner j hook (3/0 or 4/0) and a #4 treble hook usually for the bigger blue runners. Those sizes should work for yellowtail too.

[@ricardobriceno2599]

@@ReelHazardous Thanks a lot My captain ...i Will try to use them.🤗good luck and have a nice weekend 😊

[@joekilman3379]

Hey where can I buy live blue runners? You said something about a “truck”...

[@ReelHazardous]

Yeah, I don't remember the name of the guy who brings them up but he only does it during tournaments. He lives in South Florida and catches them their a tows a large live well with them in it up here. For a normal day of fishing you would have to catch them on your own.

[@shawnlachance5804]

Hey guys, what size weights on the sabiki rigs?? Thanks

[@sahilpatil7010]

Nice sir

[@ReelHazardous]

Thank you!

[@eliasadventure5903]

What size is the penn international you were using ?

[@ReelHazardous]

That was a penn 20.

[@r8drvr819]

Do you use wire and two treble hooks or J hooks?

[@ReelHazardous]

We use 7 stand and mostly j hook and treble but sometimes we'll use double treble.

[@jtbell8296]

Your title is a little deceiving. You didn't show how you're hooking the blue runners

[@smellyfrogfinger9110]

Is this recent

[@ReelHazardous]

No this was back in the summer.
