MASSIVE 9 FOOT TUNA! I'm speechless..(Catch & cook!)

Well after many many attempts and lots of learning. We finally put a giant tuna in the boat! A whopping 108"! I have a hard time finding words to express what this fish means to me! I'm speechless..

I swear, these aren't videos, they seem and feel more like a damn show on TV. Amazing work you guys, I love it. Thank you very much. What a great way of living...

[@DanielJohnson-ec8rk]

Feel like I just caught my first tuna. I’m disabled and in really bad health. I’m unable to leave the house most days so this was extremely uplifting

[@christiangasior4244]

Well I hope you’re holding up okay today, friend. This channel helps me escape as well. Peace and love to you.

I wonder if he ever saw a mermaid or Siren. This other fisher was live streaming a sighting his channel got taken off air and some agents boarded his boat. True story. It kept saying jump for me.

I agree. He also has a natural humor in front of the camera that tends to come with experience but he is a natural. I wanna throw some brews back with him and boil some good food!

Wow what a catch 108" ! That was great! You have the right boat for it too.I miss thoes days. I first started boating back in 60s out of my grandfather's back yard on the Long Island sound when everybody had wood boats. Now I jusy wish I was out there. That water was like glass. A good day of fishing is better than anything In the world.

[@christopherhull5501]

The hootin’ and hollerin’ is fantastic! Just a group of guys having a helluva time. I’ve absolutely no desire to go fishing for fish that’re bigger than I am, but that’s down to the fact that noodling for catfish was fun until I was shoulder deep into a really pissed off cat. So no desire to even think about going for yet another gigantic fish, but it somehow feels like I just caught my first tuna.

[@paulym5814]

Great fish and a great video. Memories for a lifetime.

Just found your channel! You guys are so lucky to be fishermen for a living, no Provo boss to deal with, eating what you catch.. love the content! Cheers!

Okay, i finished the video and ... well, it was nothing short of A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! Wow, what a tuna!! I love eating tuna. I've never seen one this big. Love the stills of all of you together as well as everything else. Can't wait to see your other videos. My husband is a deer hunter so that will be exciting to see. Wow!! God's playground at it's best right here!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

I have seen sunset on the Pacific but never sunrise on the Atlantic. It's on my bucket list 😅 It looks so beautiful out there.

[@jimbo4612]

Congratulations on the massive Bluefin. Seriously impressive

[@susanmartin3762]

Your boat is AWESOME! I'm a girl born on the water. I cook on crab boats, and I love Alaska. Before red crab season opens, we did a 24 hour halibut season. Long line with octopus on the hooks.. when we were prospecting i pulled a "Butt" just about the same size as yours, all by myself! 😅😅 That was dinner! Nothing tastes better than fresh caught Halibut deep fried in beer batter, home made fries...Mmmmm good. I'd LOVE to go on a tuna fishing trip...I love watching your life!

[@pepsijot]

This is my positive comment to help the algorithm…….. is what I usually comment on videos posted by people I love watching when I don’t have anything new to say. But….. I love your videos. I just read an article by NPR about Bowie the lobster and was thrilled that you’re getting that kind of coverage. Keep doing what you do and keep sharing it with us. ♥️

[@juliab3770]

Freaking amazing!!! I only dive so the shots with the sunrise and sunset remind me of going out for night dives. That tuna was huge! Hope y'all got it canned or jarred up. It is beautiful to see how you value the animals that keep you and your family fed.

What a great video. I don’t eat seafood or go fishing, yet I am really enjoying your videos. This one in particular was great to see how happy and excited you all got over catching the tuna. During a visit to Japan a while back I went to a tuna auction and it was my first time seeing how huge they are. They also had a fish market where local fishermen would sell their daily catches, not just to restaurants or supermarkets. I learned a lot.

[@beverleyellis1869]

Wow! The magnificent fighting tuna will feed so many people. The tuna had such a strong will to live, just like the will to live that humans have. This is part of the bitter side of life, that a living creature dies to feed people....unless a person is vegan and then the alternative is live and let live. What an adventure it was, seeing you and all of your mates win the prize of that huge beautiful tuna, your reward for your challenge. Congratulations! You are stewards of the earth, responsibly taking what you need and leaving the rest of the sea life to live and prosper, to be caught at another time. Safe harbour to you all.

[@tiffanyfennimore534]

I didn't see this question in the comments, Why do you tow the fish in the water after you catch it to "cool it down"? Is that meaning cool it down from the fight so the endorphins and stuff don't taint the meat? I understand cool down in similar sense, (in my mind), of cooling down a horse after a hard ride and things, so their muscles don't cramp up and stuff. Is that a correct correlation to make?

[@brandonelms4288]

AWESOME!!! way to go boys!

What an impressive specimen

[@dennisplante737]

Halibut will yield about 55% meat from live weight. I used to fish the derby’s in Alaska back in the 80’s. A good 36 hour opener would be 100,000 lbs dressed weight on the 58 foot steel hull I fished on.

[@kennethmather2567]

Nice video and great fish! I have a question tho. Why didn’t you bleed the fish after catching it? Wouldn’t that make the price of the meat be higher? Not trying to sound rude I’m just genuinely curious

[@jacobknowles5421]

We did, that’s why we were towing it.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

I've always wanted to go tuna fishing, they're so fast and powerful. I'd like to catch an albacore and a bluefin. As a landlubber (West Virginia), I'm scared of the ocean, but we go to the Outer Banks and shark/ray fish in the surf once in a while and that's pretty interesting. I wind up cutting my line a lot when I don't know what something is since so much stuff can kill you in the ocean and I don't know what all of it is, haha! You guys are probably scared of bears and stuff that doesn't really bother us, funny how you adapt to what you see/experience. You'd probably love the trout/catfishing in the mountain rivers and Ohio around here. Caught an 80-lb blue cat female full of eggs a few years back on 15-lb test, THAT was a fight, haha! Also a 6-lb smallmouth on an ultralite with 2-lb test in the New River last summer, I thought I hooked Jaws, haha!
