Offshore Bluefin Tuna Kite Rigging | Presented By YETI "4K"

Ali Hussainy of Local Knowledge Fishing Show, demonstrates how to set up a kite/balloon for a dead flying fish bait or a fake flying fish lure to land the crown jewel of Southern California waters, the Bluefin Tuna.
The kite setup is a Southern California staple that anglers have used for over 100 years. Enabling anglers to be able to get close enough to present a bait to the Bluefin Tuna without spooking them.
Ali gives a full breakdown of his recommended setup for offshore kite fishing including rods, reels, kites, balloons and line for every size class of Bluefin Tuna.

[@91222219]

I always know it’s you out there with that red balloon ha ha, good stuff bro

[@blackfishblackfish]

Thank you.

[@714ANAHEIMCALIFORNIA]

Love this channel very educational

[@jimcole5387]

Awesome techniques. Love it.

[@dylanstompe6534]

Thanks for the video, best kite rigging tutorial I've found. Spending the offseason getting geared up for when we have another showing of BFT in norcal next year!

[@joewhite2484]

Love the duct tape tip....been doing things to that ballon that might get me arrested.

[@roger9453]

Great video Ali!

[@jacobwaunch9008]

Great Video! You mentioned 130# braid to a wind on. What pound test fluorocarbon and how long of a wind on are you using for the Yummee and Frozen Flyer?

[@artwhitting1681]

Thanks for the duct tape tip as I am struggling with harness and balloon size. How did you get the aftco swivels thru the reel pawl?

[@Static_MK3Focus]

Brought my first yellowfin home, 34 pounds, on the condor!

[@LuluBear974]

Hi there! Great tutorial ! I am new to kite fishing and you tell us to use 75 yards for release clips spacing. Yet all others tutorial says 75 feet... which one should I use? Thank you for your help.

[@nicktorres671]

Where did you get the battery for your electric reel. That has to be one of the most compact ones I have seen. Haven’t seen anyone do a video on the backpack rig flyer if you have any input on that.

[@ronmanly2599]

What rod are you using with the electric reel? Thanks so much!

[@mikejohnson8524]

What did you guys do for the yeti gobox handle? Been thinking about using one for a tacklebox but didn’t like that there wasn’t a handle.

[@billdavis6900]

I've done this a lot for yellowfins on the East Coast off North Carolina. We would run the line from the rod through a split ring or other similar ring and then clip the ring to the arm of the release clip. I noticed you didn't do that. Florida guys use rings as I described when they fish live baits off kites. I didn't know if maybe you've ever had any trouble with the line binding up in the clip, being that the line direction and release clip position are parallel?

[@ilikepie393]

Where'd you get the 4 hole sfe?

[@CaptBlueFish]

Would like to know who the 6 people are that thumbs downed this video, probably people that don’t want others to show people how to fish or are just against fishing in general most likely 🙄? guarantee even with this tutorial if you go to fly a kite for your first few times at least, there’s still going to be a lot of learning to do on your own in order to fish effectively. Certainly helps though. 👍 guys.

[@dctodave]

What size rod?
