@@thomaskyelberg5998 how long did you work on independence ?

[@scbamboo204]

Best trip I ever had was on the Indy. Awesome fishing.

[@eddiecoralnick8601]

The Independence is Heaven on Water..............🤙

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

I’ll be going next month. July 3 to July 5 2024

[@hangingoutwithrussell]

Young’s tackle is a good tackle store😊

[@sirhookuupdaily9726]

All those "Weapons of Mass Destruction". Those fish must be scared to death with all those rods coming for them! Captains Brian and Billy along with crew are always great!

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

Lol. Wish big ones were there to get scared. Mostly babies 15 to 40. Think only 5 or 6 was bigger.

[@Briguy1027]

Wow, I would go on that boat just for the food!

[@LuckyCatAdventures]

Nice video👍......Congratulations on the BFT......😋the food on the Indy is always great....... that tonkatsu looks like a new menu item. 🤣

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

Thank you - wish i caught bigger. Lol Food was excellent!!! Think Better than intrepid, shogun, Royal star,….

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

Correction: i used last years logo at the end. Lol. Trip was definitely 2023.

[@trippingtommy3691]

Thanks for the great video, reminds me of a 10-day trip on the R P, long range fishing was the most fun I have ever had, just wonderful.

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

Nice nice nice. My wife approves 3 days only - anything more is automatic NO. Lol

[@Blueskies-h3e]

Wow! That rice bowl looks amazing. I gotta do that for wifey lol 😉

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

You better mention my name when you serve your wife. I want my credit. Jk Enjoy. And go more fishing !!!!

[@Blueskies-h3e]

@@Fishingwithjameschoi I did lol. She said Cảm ơn. I fried it up nice and crispy. Lettuce leaf with picked carrot, jicama and bean sprouts😋. Always ngon when fresh. 👏👏👏

[@Pfgthings]

I do 7 day trips with Tahoe Tuna Club. Cant wait to get back on water.

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

I have 3 days trip coming up on May 25 on spirit of adventure. (My first time on this boat). It would be nice if i can make it back to the 100lb club again. (Last year, think my biggest was 45lb on 3 charter trips and 90lb on my boat. 2022 was better. 2021 was the best for me. lol)

[@andrewvillanueva3722]

I have fished twice on the independence. 1 (10) day and 1 (5) day trips. The independence is a awesome boat because it is so wide and stable. The captain and crew are awesome too.

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

I do 4 to 6 BFT trips a year. But never done 5 days or 10 days or longer. Maybe one day but right now 3 days is good enough for me. Yup I’m in agreement. Think it’s the best boat in San Diego fleet.

[@diss-abledgamer5370]

Wanted to go on the April trip this year one that had Youngs as well, but timing T.T wife said I can only go in June but busy in June XD.

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

lol. Hope you can make one of them. Discussing fishing plan with wifey is not fun.

[@danskyadventures]

Congrats on the awesome trip! Would love to see some fish fighting videos of the trip if you have any

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

Sorry boss. No action this time - maybe next one in sept. 2023.

[@crashjunipero]

Never been fishing on her, but check her out every time she's in at Day at the Docks and impressed by the size and space.

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

Yup she is a beauty

[@mccarthysoutdoorsandgunclu446]

There's Kevin, Mac, Greg, Robert, all the cool kids.

[@thelongrangers]

I just realized we were on two trips together this year Indy and intrepid 3 day lol

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

What ? Lol. I just realized the same thing. Do you live near by ? When is your next trip ?

[@thelongrangers]

@@Fishingwithjameschoiyeah I was on both trips lol

[@thelongrangers]

@@thelongrangers when is your next trip ?

[@jakejacobson2999]

After seeing all these videos recently I reallyyy want to book a trip for next summer. Just debating if I should just rent rods or buy my own lol I’m from PA and only mainly fish the Great Lakes so if I buy, only gonna get used twice a year at best..

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

Ummm buy it. But if you can use it for years and years. For memory and experience - i think it’s price less. Lol Plus bonus if you bring fresh tuna home in PA. You will be a hero ! Lol

[@jakejacobson2999]

@@Fishingwithjameschoi yeah I’m sure I’ll end up just buying a few set ups lol I already have thousands in gear, what’s a few thousand more! Lol 😂 how many of those trips have you been on?

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

@@jakejacobson2999 i go 5 to 6 times a year. Check my instrgram fishingwithjamesc

[@davidhollingsed7756]

I am coming from Fort Wayne Indiana in August and I have decided to rent. You really need 2 speed reels and money can become a factor. You can get 4 real's for $50 rental and $50 rental for 100 pound set up if you have big bluefin.

[@jakejacobson2999]

@@davidhollingsed7756 nice good luck! But yeah I hear ya. I figure if I buy the gear I’ll be looking at spending around $2000 easy… what length trip are you doing?

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

I like all other boats and captains but i love independence boat and capt Brian. I am going next year again - 7/3 to 7/6 2024. Come fish with me !! Lol

[@chazbickel4518]

This is my dream of a lifetime trip. Great video. What set up did you catch the fish on, the fly line?

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

My dream too. Brother. 30lb floro fly line with rubberband tied 4oz sinker. We did hook up on fly line but very little. Mostly dropshot setup.

[@JJ-zu5cg]

More food than fishing

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

It was lots of babies. Just didn’t get a good enough footage but anyways food was excellent. Best ever. Lol Keep fishing :)

[@Blueskies-h3e]

You already got your bft ???

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

This is my 2nd BFT trip of the year
