[@XtremeAngler1000]

CAUGHT AND RELEASED A BFT!! That's awesome you frigging rock

[@RealLazyGnome]

every fishermens dream fish come in that size! that would be by far one of my most favorite deep sea fishing videos.

[@etd5791]

Possibly the best fight i have ever seen between man and fish.

[@johngunasekara]

one of the best fights i have ever seen..great stuff mate..good show..

[@HondaFisher]

Wow so glad to see that fish released, i saw the gaff and was just line noo.... but you cut the line! Good to see giants like that then released, lets us know they're still out there roaming the ocean. Awesome catch!

[@originalfallinggirl]

You RULE!! I'm so happy you released that gorgeous fish. Forget the negative comments!

[@Orrymain1186]

what a beautiful and amazing fish. i truley appreciate what i saw in this video, but that was just way cool when you released the beast!!! and you get so much more from releasing it, then you would by keeping it for whatever reasons. now i know there are fisherman out there that get this. and it inspires me more. thank you for you awsome video. i appreciated it very much!! 10 stars :) THANKS!!!

[@Thomaschgg]

Wauw, u can be really proud of urselve, catching a giant tuna like that, and let it swim after youve catched it! Beacuse of the japanese there are hardly any tunas left, so as a sportsfisherman this deserves tons of respect! You won't have a picture with a record tuna, but still youve got the experience of a lifetime, ass well as respect from all over the world, this one comes from Holland! Good job!

[@mrlildlux1]

What reel were you using? and congratz on the catch and release !

[@keithangler]

Wow. Nice release of that Tuna. Good sportsmanship and caring for the sea's future abundance.

[@BlackHoleUSA]

The rod is "Black Hole Cape Cod Special 450g Conventional Rod". You can find it from JIGNPOP

[@BlackHoleUSA]

The rod is "Black Hole Cape Cod Special 450g Conventional Rod". This was filmed in Prince Edward Island (PEI) in Canada. :)

[@GCOUNDOU]

i agree. good job releasing this magnificent creature. too few left.

[@danielastl7687]

love that you released it! awesome catch!

[@otregano]

Great rod, great fighting actions and superb fish, compliments. Could you please tell me if you used mono or braided line? Thank you, Pasino

[@68whiskey86]

Great job on the C.P.R of a amazing fish!!! Flawless stand up fighting.

[@Crubber]

I would never let that thing go - soooooo much top notch sushi for me and everyone I know for a year. Crazy.

[@steheff6920]

Well said lad!! Respect for catch and release!! This one comes from Ireland!!

[@bagargui]

Congrats on the catch AND RELEASE. Such an honorable thing to do with a fish that could have been sold for a hefty price. Nice to see there are still people in this world who understand what makes it go round.

[@FNFALcharlie]

ive never seen such a lite looking rod pull in such a huge fish

[@Wallydog11]

That rod impressed the hell out of me!

[@blakeb4583]

Awesome job catching and releasing! No better way to have fun and preserve a species than to catch and release! *applause*

[@peechanikakhuntongpan4629]

ิผิิผเ.

[@writerconsidered]

except you exhausted it to death.

[@blakeb4583]

Fish that big don't tire out to death most of the time.

[@1tabascosauce]

How is the quality of meat when they get that big/old??

[@dwmckay99]

What kind of reel is that? Awesome video.

[@jansarestupidfucks]

The drag on a reel lets out line according to the amount of weight it is set to. This guy only had like 55 lbs of drag set on his reel so it would slip when 55 lbs of force is pulled on it. The fish will eventually get tired and will be easy enough to reel in. Hope that helps.

[@ashinguy]

Kudos on the release!

[@daniel123s1ckstuffz]

nice fish mate... how much are those rods?...they would work for shark i would think?

[@FaithFilled1111]

The Release MADE this video!!! Good on ya fellas!!

[@CVM222VOLT]

just another angler who thinks it was great that you released the fish of a lifetime. Amazing Job

[@stripersoup7779]

Incredible fight. That setup was perfect. 55 lbs of drag is HEAVY! Is this an Accurate reel?

[@mometo07]

Good work guys but i have Question which King of this fishing Rod??

[@elihurst8999]

off the hook literaly nice catch . why did you release the fish,is it because you reached your quota are you were to afriad to try to get it in the boat and measure it?

[@Biffoo88]

catch & release, just love to see that! Nice work!

[@megasuperfish]

grandissimo.bel recupero e magnifico rilascio

[@tylerrr.]

Just curious. I see that you've got the rod/reel tied to you via that belt rig. Is there some sort of quick disconnect on it? I mean the thought of a thousand pound fish pulling me overboard and making a run for the bottom with me attached to the reel is a bit scary. I understand you could just open the spool or whatever the term is but in that split second I wouldn't want to be fumbling around trying to do that. thanks

[@TCPLOPES]

CATCH AND RELEASE! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

[@Fireworxs2012]

My back hurts just watching this.... Awesome cath & release... But I gotta ask....Whats the point/benefit of using such a short rod...I mean it's impressive and all that it didn't break...But I don't see why under normal circumstances anyone would choose to deep sea fish with something that actually makes it more difficult than it already is....Also...On smaller fish...It seems the rod would be far to stiff to be of any use at all...Like fishing with a broom handle...?

[@GMCSnow]

great catch and release was a pleasure to watch

[@georginaharwin55]

WOW! Strength and Stamina! Well Done!

[@vjanda1]

nice job, what line do you have on the tiagra? I use jinkai 100# mono

[@phatone911]

i dont know too much about big game rods but i cannot believe that help up. wow.

[@LG-rt6sn]

very nice catch. but why ya let it go? or ya have to let it go? wish i can go fishing in deep sea like that. must be super fun to reel 1 of those giant fish, and i bet ton of fun too.

[@tubeyoukyle]

Hell yah catch and release baby!! Its nice to see a big fish go back to its native water like that since tuna's are so over fished. Way to go guys nice catch!

[@airnuts]

Good for you on the catch and relesed, TRUE FISHERMAN

[@TheJamesm2012]

Great Job catching it and releasing it back to the water. A lucky Tuna may live another day.

[@98bountyhunter]

Congrats nice catch! Wonder how big it will be next time ;)

[@THOMASLEE0235]

WELL DONE MATE...THAT WAS AWESOME FIGHTING...

[@peytonwatson4781]

you guys rock. released a fish of a lifetime

[@watupcuzzon]

Wow nice catch we caught 327 lb we thought that was good nice catch

[@SliC3oFicE]

probably the most popular island video ever

[@MrPoncej]

true fisherman catch & release congrats on the catch keep it up

[@DonskiBeat1]

how one earth did they catch that?And how did the rod not snap?

[@maxrahim]

How much fish can you eat mate. Well done for releasing it.

[@phb2911]

keeping a beauty like that would've been a crime... great job!

[@Johnny87Au]

Hey how much was the Rod? Im after a good rod which can handle up to 300lbs..

[@MidoriFizz]

nice fish, and good on ya for releasing it :)

[@ecopeat]

Fantastic! Great fish, great fight!

[@YankeeBacon]

wow released that?!?! damn man that thing was worth how much????

[@shawty867]

Very cool that yall release that big tuna's when y'all catch one...

[@chefgiovanni]

Nice to see you let him go ! Great video.

[@MrChip1841]

It's not wasting. The 9 minutes is him fighting the beast

[@benkerr69]

All that and you didn't keep it? Am I missing something here?

[@SteelTiiTan]

There are actually plenty of Tuna in the Maritimes.. Which is where this is. Blue fins are quite common compared to other places.

[@capexcitement]

how your legs feel at the end of the fight?

[@EpicWinNY]

That's a very big payout... Why did you release?

[@abalabama1]

whats the point of catching it if they going to release it???

[@xMike350z]

Why u didnt keep it? a 350kg one got sold for 1million in japan...

Você soltou o peixe? :O

[@northernroots1]

why wouldn't you have that reel attached to the boat?

[@assman12354]

i'm surprised the fight was so short, when we caught a 90 pound cobia that fight lasted an hour

[@csm4204308]

whats the best bait to use for deep sea fishing?

[@abdiver12]

I've never seen such a small rod catch such a huge fish before. Congrats! Well done for letting it go too, bluefin are an endangered species and should not be served in restaurants anymore. Besides, on PEI, charter captains are only allowed one fish a month at their discretion. That guy had probably already caught his quota.

[@thataboy85]

Why did you release it? Could have feed a lot of hungry people in your area!

[@localguy8]

My hat off to you a beautiful catch n release Wow

[@cjaccardi]

what was that a 10 thousand dollar fish ? are you not allowed to keep them ?

[@1MuchButteR1]

How much could you've gotten for that thing?

[@Jkylex]

Looks like my panfish rod haha btw nice innovation with the split grip from the bass world

[@MrTrevorHobbs]

Nice catch! I was watching this with my brother and he looks and gasps. His next words were, "Is that a whale!?" XD

[@kilo553]

you cant put a price on that fish it speaks volumes for the guys who let it go and thats what real sportsfishing is all about RESPECT

[@sktnka5]

well done guys !!!

[@neilconnell4579]

to all you people asking why he released it. it is for the species. giant bluefin are a rare fish now, especially over 1000lbs. the population needs fish like that to reproduce and so does the human race because tuna are a huge part of the ocean ecosystem and our food source. also the people who are asking why the rod didnt break, its because us cape codders make great fishing equipment.

[@ShadowFiend198400]

What line u guys are using? I want this line its the finest plz reply me

[@MahiganGiroux]

Thaat fish is HUGE!!!!! Can't believe you got that!!!

[@shanestar18]

what rod is that man ? of its head video btw

[@THOMASLEE0235]

EXTREMELY GOOD FISHING ON STAND UP FIGHTING......YOU NEED EXPERIENCE & SKILL TO LAND SUCH MONSTER...WELL DONE GUYS !!!

[@walterkall]

That fish was worth a lot of money and they let it go. True fisherman.

[@fierro0809]

What test line were they using?

[@MrFelixdodd]

sod the rod i'm interested in that reel - awesome!

[@Kong05638]

i want the rod just tell me how and where to get one plz

[@JaxAerialImaging]

Leaving the hook in is a common practice.They use hooks that corrode and dissolve quickly,as its less damaging to the fish than trying to get the hook out.

[@thedjkay]

Where did the fish go???? WHY???
