Independence Long Range Tuna Fishing | Part 4

[@willquigg8265]

You guys had a great trip. For those of you who were wondering what these Anglers do with the fish when they get back to the dock, there's a few choices. You can throw them all in the back your truck an ice them down and take them home. They also have a couple different canneries that show up at the end of each trip where you can trade your tuna in for cans of the best albacore you'll ever eat or, they will take your fish and fill them and vacuum seal and flash freeze them, but you would have to pick them up from the processor about a week later. For those of you who have never been on a long-range trip and you like fishing, I suggest you go on one of these long-range trips, 15 to 17 days at least once in your lifetime. You have three gourmet meals a day plus they always have snacks out. The staterooms are always roomy and clean. The crew is the best on any boat you go out on, make sure to always tip your crew. This was a great video and it brought back a lot of great memories, I'm looking forward to my next trip already. May God be with you and your lines always in the water.

Fished my first LR with Jeff in 95 on the Q….. great guy, excellent fisherman

[@willquigg8265]

I think I saw a small Raptor reel that somebody was using. I was on a 17-day trip on the Excel, and somebody sold me a new one for $300. It was so small I couldn't believe you could catch big 200 lb tuna on that reel, but the drags on it are great, and you can. Small but Mighty !

I love the 75 year old brother!

[@willquigg8265]

Whose brother?

[@willquigg8265]

In the 80s, my dad brought me up fishing on the Royal Polaris. Then we switched to the Excel. I love the Excel that is a great boat great captains and the great crew. I've never fished on the Independence, but I have been on board it is a great boat. To answer the question where else can you do this type of fishing? The answer is nowhere . I moved to the East Coast a few years ago and they do not have long range fishing trips like Dago does. They have what you call six pack trips. You go out on a 40 to 50-foot boat, you and five friends. They only do day trips and it's about 1800.00 for the day for six people . But they Supply all the rods and reels, tackle and bait. I did catch a 588 lb bluefin tuna, but it's not the same you fight it with the rod in the rod holder. That's no fun to me, that's cheating. On my next vacation back to california, I definitely want to go on a 17 or 18 day trip on the independence . I'll see you all then.

Tony Reyes may he rest in peace. The owner of Tony Reyes charters in Mexico. Ralph, "The Long Ranger" Mickelson, he holds the world record for the most yellowfin tuna caught over 300 lb. May he also continue to rest in peace. Kurt Wiesenhutter and his wife😊, I hope you are both still around and fishing the deep blue Seas. I've had the pleasure to call all of these people my friends and fish with them all, even Kurt's wife would get on the rail and bring in a 200 lb tuna.

[@damianbest6566]

A lot a Okuma Makaira reels...did the boat supply the gear or is this reel just understood to be the preferred model?

[@hgfs6479]

[@davidmalone4017]

Great video!!!!

[@nelsonflores2461]

[@lestercherry5922]

My turn is up next. Penn rods and reels is what I have to work with. I just need a local place to work my magic. I'm here in Chicago. Somebody give me a local place to hog hunting. Lester Cherry.

[@vincerangel554]

How much is a 13 day trip??? I go out on 2 and a half day boats and I think I pay a lot I can't imagine what you guys pay.. but the fish u guys are catching it must be all worth it

[@californiafishermen4495]

over $10000

[@rykardoberg5392]

+California fishermen less than half that

[@jayseek497]

I did a 12 day long range on the Indy that went to Clarion Island. 3600 to book the trip, at least 500 for the tip to the crew, and just under 1000 to have six hundred and some lbs of tuna processed.

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

6000.00

[@robertkeeverkeever6420]

Hey Siri how much it cost to go long range

[@StokedOnFishing]

Depends on the length. 5 day is typically like $2500 per person.

[@hkm82]

Do they keep the fish or throw it back in?

[@andrewyangfishing8450]

They keep.

[@hkm82]

They must be worth a lot of money.

[@andrewyangfishing8450]

+hkm82 oh yeah no doubt

[@maxsdad538]

You can't sell them, but it would cost quite a lot to actually buy fish that fresh from a fishmonger.

[@byronicgamer4240]

You should go to dauphin island my cousin and I caught a ton of fish on the shore!

[@주용덕-i7z]

ok

[@jimhenderson7855]

@ 3:28 get some on George Bush spending some of the trillions on sport fishing. He better have tipped well

[@localguy8]

Great video, I don't see any body trying a shimano stella or Daiwa saltist spinners to test these cows, it would have been intresting but great video anyway. Okuma use to make gears for other reels companies but decided to make them themselves a few years back. Love n Peace

[@Mr05sti]

keep the knees off the deck save that for church lololol !

[@maxsdad538]

Don't be an asshole, slick.

[@Mr05sti]

landed a 211LB Bluefin i no the feeling lol

[@peterk814]

Bluefin don’t fight anywhere near as hard as a yellowfin

[@mexicanamerican21]

Wtf is with these adds on top of adds now

[@eightballpool1598]

Douchiest captain ever

[@peterk814]

Man Tyrone needs to stay home.
