LIMITS of BLUEFIN TUNA, Fishing Three Days no Sleep

[@OutdoorChefLife]

I can't wait to do it again!

[@BigNate-FlounderFinatic]

Whens your pov dropping? I love both of you guys channels!

[@jeanamon9673]

My son and I were out this past weekend on the Poseidon and he was sporting his Outdoor Chef Life long sleeve shirt. LoL. Would have been fun fishing with you all!

[@DieHardFishing]

Hell yeah me too!!!!

[@jtuck682]

Adam, thanks for taking the time and expense to fish our Socal waters! I love your content because you produce fishing videos, not catching videos. I always learn something when I watch. 😊😊 (I bought a drag scale so I can set my drag at 33% of my lowest test line.)

[@DieHardFishing]

I appreciate that!

[@TySoVm]

You timed that trip perfect, three weeks ago the weather sucked and Tuna weren't biting like now, congrats man!

[@rickysantos4231]

Local San Diegan here! Hope you had a great time brother!

[@Randy_Samuel]

Awesome tuna fish 💯

[@ReelMahal]

Oh man, those type of trips are exhausting! Great video! You west coast KZbinrs stick together and I enjoy your camaraderie!

[@seancooper1807]

Nice video. I fished a 1.5 day trip on the Aztec last week and got two Bluefin, with the biggest at about 130 pounds. The potential quality of fish you can get within one day range in the last few years is unprecedented. Good to see that you guys connected.

[@artkitzmiller957]

Adam, all your fans thank you for taking us along with you on these trips. We know you only put yourself through such torture for the love of your fans and not because you are just an absolutely Die Hard Fisherman. 😜

[@SlaycationFishing]

Good fishing & nice to see y'all down here in SD fishing on my favorite boat. Nice work 👏

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@bebeturtle]

Thank you so much for sharing!!! Now I know it’s like fishing for tuna! Look forward to going to one soon!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheSparklyBeader87]

Adam, amazing there are not more tangles with all those angler's lines. ❤🎣🐟

[@mikeschwartz8762]

I love you did this type of trip. This is absolutely my favorite way to fish. I grew up doing it with my dad and continued it all they way until we moved to Redding. I miss it so much! I loved this video, I hope you do another trip again so i can watch lol. Maybe do a 8 day on one of the long range sportfishers like the Independence, Intrepid, Excel, Red Rooster 3 and the rest of the amazing boats down there. Lol, living through you now. I can't afford to make a trip down anymore lol.

[@sg-mx4ii]

Great crew to go with Adam. I'll be down there the end of August and hopefully you saved my group some fish! Also one your best vidoes you've done! I also saw all your bites which no one ever catches on video

[@sminoh1]

Good job guys on San Diego tuna trip!!! You may wanna arrive a day before and get a hotel room by the landing and do some sleep time. I go on a 2 day trip with Legend next week!

[@lching7491]

that's why you're Die Hard Fishing Adam! Thanks for taking us along. What lb test were you using on the fly line?

[@troyrockstardad]

I like it when 2 or more of the people I follow fish together.

[@DwightPerkins-i7t]

Some serious fishing and some serious fishing gear.

[@brianlee9074]

So much fun. Congrats Adam. Great catches, delicious fish, long drive 😒. San Diego has the best boats for tuna fishing.Thanks for the video.

[@karlbe8414]

Next you must do a 3 day long range trip. Gorgeous Bluefin. I worked as a deckhand out of Newport Beach, CA. To see the same fish, but more and bigger on a 3 day trip into Mexican waters was great. Same effect if you go to the outer channel islands. Have you caught a Yellowtail yet? ...they fight hard as well. Go again!

[@DieHardFishing]

Yeah I love yellowtail! Been a little while since I got one, might be time to go get another!

[@Yahya100x100]

What is the limit on tuna fish in San Diego

[@poorfisherman1857]

What a great video Adam Nice to see taku on board Cheeeehoooooooo

[@maifishinglife]

Wow! Amazing job Adam. Lucky #7

[@chrishears]

Set that hook. Great to see you and Haku gettin" it!

[@davidrybka7828]

great video, shows all the important parts of being on the water. love the ripping drag! I just got off a overnight and I landed 5 of the 7 fish I hooked . I had 2 mono to leader connection knot failures. * for those concerned about over limits my extra fish went to my buddies who were less fortunate than I was.

[@SDkd619]

Im glad you listened to me with the bait belly hooking them . Good job dude , wish i could have given you a few more pointers but you boys were excited to fish. Thats awesome you had a great trip 🤘.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the tips! Those hooks worked great!

[@jimbo4612]

Pacifica sportfishing actually offers more limited load tuna trips where they limit the number of anglers to just 22 vs 30+ Penn, Izorline and Phenix rods also sponsor trips with this operation . Makes a big difference with quality sponsor and boat with limited anglers

[@kmp3player]

I'm going on their Penn sponsored trip in September, super stoked!

[@petertvle]

Thanks for sharing this video. I love it!

[@baypounder]

Love the ending. This is such a real feeling😂😂😂

[@MagnusSentDooM]

Tuna is a whole different and very expensive game 😂. Crazy adrenaline pumping trip when bite gets hot. Successful trip!

[@HoofHearted_Eh]

To see Taku jigging for tuna is epic! LOL!

[@-a-strikelures1212]

😂

[@jeremi5834]

Launched out of San Pedro 22nd street landing last Friday. A 2.5 day trip the whole boat caught limits of bluefin! The bite is hot

[@snaxs2000]

8 rods. Thats how I roll. Always bring all your toys. Cover all the bases.

[@barefootterry3785]

Nice fish! Love hearing the reel scream!

[@timmiller3133]

Good action man n cool video 👏🎣

[@tamalpias]

Alan Tani has muscles with his drag set so tight. 😂

[@ahmadghanem2414]

Drag was tight . When the fish is running , keep the rod pointing at the fish and slowly raise it until it stops . That’s my way of fishing these fish . Thank you for sharing, it was fun to watch

[@jtuck682]

I actually bought a drag scale just to be sure I've set the drag to the right limit.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the tip

[@deanabatayo4841]

​@@jtuck682what was your drag set to?

[@jtuck682]

@@deanabatayo4841 For 100lb line,33lbs for 80lb line, 27lbs.

[@gradybrowning3976]

Looks like a Great Trip!

[@DieHardFishing]

It was!

[@marymillaud]

Probably the reason Bro is when you let him run with that bait that fish is throating that bait. Tuna inhales the bait try wait a couple sec then set lock down and let him tighten up on to make that circle hook work better for you and you might get less cut off on that line just a thought. Tight lines bro!

[@addicted2fishing119]

Was that reel the Gomexus???Word of advice for anyone traveling in Cali… Never travel south on Friday’s… Never travel north on Sunday’s… Every Mexican from O.C. To Canada is going home for the weekend/Friday and back to work on Sunday I’ve learned to top shot your braid with at least 25’ and add a 1-2’ leader of floro… Minimum 80 pounds floro… The top shot is the suggested set up per boat… Example… Mainline 30# braid Top shot suggested setup test Leader of fluorocarbon 80 pounds or more depending on the fish but bluefin minimum 80

[@donhaderle9983]

Congrats! from NorCal as well. been on a few of these trips the past years. went earlier this season on a 2-day, had lots of action/bites/hookups, but none onto the boat for me. These trips can be thrilling (and of course, exhausting) even without bringing home a fish. Extra thrilling when you do get one or more. One item I probably analyze / fuss over way too much are the connections. What knots did you use? Braid to mono/floro, leader to hook or jig, etc.?

[@br0ckmahoney]

Was cool fishing with u and your buddies! Good trip!

[@DieHardFishing]

No doubt!

[@sanjose7774]

Number 7 nice perfect. Completed

[@CollegeRecruitsNW]

Lucky #7, great draw Adam.

[@Fishing247]

My favorite part of fishing on charter is fly line. Jigging tood a toll on me. Time to get some cow in NorCal.

[@TomGiffin]

We had a 200 pound bluefin wash up on the shore up here in the Puget Sound last month. It had everyone stumped apparently! There is no record of them ever being in here. If we could catch those in the sound I’d be stoked! 😂

[@flounder56]

Glad you guys did well on your trip. It looks like your drag was way too tight on the fly line. Even if you know what you’re doing it always a good idea to have the deck hand check your drag. They often go lighter than usual to tire them out then can crank up a bit at the end.

[@reeleasy8670]

Love ya man

[@socalsaltwateranglers]

Welcome to SoCal. Yeww 🤙🏻

[@mikeconnor5668]

Glad SoCal was good to you!

[@PaintGuy]

Just got back from my first Bluefin trip and got limits too. It was one of the most exciting and hectic experiences I’ve ever had.

[@HoofHearted_Eh]

It's exciting, but too expensive! I wish they lower the price a little bit down.

[@siquijorian73]

​@7mong61 how much per day if you don't mind me asking?

[@PaintGuy]

@@HoofHearted_Eh I only paid $200 and got limits so definitely was worth it for me haha. I have more fish than I know what to do with. My neighbors are quite happy right now :)

[@HoofHearted_Eh]

@@siquijorian73 Full day boat is $235, Overnight is $335, 1.5 day boat is $445 at Seaforth Landing. Plus you have to add extra for Fuel charge, food, and Deckhand Tips.

[@davidhollingsed7756]

Deck hand tips should be at least 15%

💛...great trip... i'd like to see the cooking portion now...

Check it out on @outdoorcheflife Cooking vid dropping soon!

[@gerry453]

Nice trip. Looks like your drag was too tight.

[@dantecarpino7500]

First time seen belly hook sardine. What a trip

[@oceandiv951]

Stay off the 5 through Los Angeles. Take the 210 south to the 57 south. When going back north, take 57 north to the 210 north. I go to my dad's in calaveras county a lot

[@TheSmilingFury]

There was SO MUCH traffic that , it seems , you travelled back in time, to the 90’s, and bought that shell necklace.😂🤣😂

[@walterwlim]

4:15 Best to have the rod tips facing the rear in case the cart bounces off the guardrail or another cart. Your rods won't get damaged that way.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the tip!

[@johnmartin8841]

Tough deal getting broke off i like to sinker rig under those fly liners with a 60 to 80 lb. Leader and a 4 to 6 oz. sinker and definitely a mutu hook and don't let the run to long and slowly snug that drag down somtimes it works

[@AmbitiousAnglerFishing]

Those reel runs! Love it haha

[@DieHardFishing]

Me too!

[@mitchelllyell8279]

now this is what I wanna see!

[@anthonynguyen9044]

Dope video!

[@seanhartnett9753]

Some of those marks on your jig is from the deck from the fish getting dropped. Looks like a good time can't wait for my next trip on labor day.

[@DieHardFishing]

Good luck!!!

[@-a-strikelures1212]

Should have tied the "San Diego Jam knot". You wouldn't have lost those fish

[@seayafishing]

If you guys returned on Wednesday morning we passed each other coming in the basin. We were going out for Rockfish Wednesday morning on my 22’ cuddy.

[@Johnsfishingshorts]

That's wassup Adam and you got lucky #7

[@rickysantos4231]

Ahaha, yes the 5 is grueling. I take the 101 up to Seattle then take the 5 back home. It would be the perfect road for a self driving car where you could just sleep the whole time.

[@suddenlyfishing]

wow nice❤❤❤❤❤

[@mmatalk3817]

Congrats! How many fish were caught for each person?

[@brokefisherman6561]

Pacifica my go to for BF fishing in SD!!!

[@mathiasreese]

I could never fish on that boat in that close proximity to others. Hell no. You did it like a champ though.

[@FlirtingWithExcellence]

So which boat did you end up going out of S.D.? Apologies if this was asked already.

[@messyfisherman4140]

I noticed you where setting the hook with the circle hooks and that will keep from getting a good hook in the corner of the mouth you really have to disiplin yourself to just reel on the fish untill it start running

[@BigNate-FlounderFinatic]

Fuck yeah! Love when you post videos! Taku was there! Thats awesome love his channel as well!

[@kauaimurph]

Was this a limited load or open party trip? Looked pretty crowded so I’m guessing open party? If you can afford it, I’d always go with a limited load trip. It’s usually 1/2-2/3 # of anglers and so worth it IMO. You don’t have the problems associated with a full boat.

[@montoya11333]

Can you tell us what kind of jigs, lures you used?

[@mattperry865]

The I5 Drive is essential to your success, think about embracing the Buffalo before Santa Nella, the Tule Elk around Highway 152, and the Kangaroo Rats after that. Better to embrace the road that gets you to Tuna….😅

[@dillonhensell9738]

What is your rod and reel combo on your fly line rig?

[@kenkip1985]

Can recognize those Alan tani handles any day

[@egggooot]

If your line is frayed where it breaks off then it’s cuz you got chewed off from letting them eat it too long. Honestly, I think it’s cuz your drag is too tight considering that you’re getting broken off that early off the first run. Make sure you’re setting it 25-30% or your line rating (ex. 7-9lbs of drag if you’re fishing 30lb line). Also tie good knots, can’t go wrong with the SD jam and re-tie after each fish.

[@johnnyk8211]

Cool video

[@ocmountainbiking9497]

😂 make some meals with the catch! Just came back from a overnight, yellowfin were biting

What boat were you on? My son and I were out there last weekend on the Poseidon. The boat caught only one fish on the jigs. We caught limits on the fly line with 30# leader line. Curious what you were using. All our fish were gut hooked. Frankly, surprised we did not lose the ones we caught.
