Monster Tuna Under Oil Rig! Catch, Clean & Cook!

Fishing under the largest oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico we cast huge poppers and jigs to hook the hardest fighting fish in the ocean! I hook up to something huge and enter a crazy battle! Deep sea fishing for massive yellowfin tuna we threw huge poppers in hopes of a massive topwater strike. We throw poppers as well as drop slow-pitch jigs to hook up to giant fish! After the fishing we clean and cook a massive yellowfin tuna! This ridiculous sushi night was so much fun! Huge shoutout to my good friends ‪@LandsharkOutdoors‬ , ‪@brookcristoutdoors‬ and ‪@SaltSquatch‬ for all their help! #swsportsman #saltwaterexpedition

Ryan, today is my 60th birthday and my body is so busted up I can't even fish out of New Hampshire anymore to say the least out of Haulover Marina Miami. That's what 7 years Special Forces, 4 heart attacks and a quadruple bypass will do to ya. But your videos remind me of the best days of my life, those at sea trying to reel in fish that would just assume reel ME in. I even managed to get both sons addicted.

From everything I’ve heard Captain Tillman is one of the best offshore captains in the gulf! My parents live on Dauphin Island in a house grandfather built in 1977,78 so I’ve been fishing here since I can remember. And I think I heard his voice but didn’t see Captain TJ, I know he was on the Big Eye Tuna trip and I went to high school with him and he is a great captain also. I love how in Vic’s video he keeps saying he never realized that Alabama had fish like these!

[@RyanMorie]

Thanks for watching! I’m putting any reel review videos on the back burner for a little while, but my view of the Spheros hasn’t changed a lot. The 6k in particular has issues with the line roller not spinning under tension with braided line. The bigger sizes are all fine and if you don’t need the extra drag capabilities of the Saragosa it’s the best value reel on the market right now

[@docwill184]

Serious question (In '80's I was deckhand on an albacore boat out of Avila, CA) Is there evidence that fish feel pain and terror? Squid and octopi? Whales, dolphins for sure, yes?¹

[@maxschmidt9461]

Awesome video, as always but this was a special one! One tip if you start doin'this more often and want to chase true monsters(300lb+) I would recommend a rod that bends more into the handle (at least from the video) your right d seemed to be more of a progressive action, while this is nice for smaller fish and under less tension, on a big fish you want that rod to flex all the way, into a half circle and on a run maybe even more cause it gives you more leverage/a shorter lever working against you. Also if you want to chase monsters think about a 20k, I know it's not as much fun but aside from the extra capacity and better casting with the same line, it enables you to fish heavier line, so when a fish runs away from you (the boat can help with that as well) and there's a milder rod angle you can really lock up and tire those big fish out quickly, then when the fish is beneath the boat you need to loosen up a bit but giving the heat on those long runs really determines how the fight goes and how quick you have the fish beat. Definitely get the 4X RaptorZ trebles instead of the RaptorX if you gonna fight fish like this, just not worth the risk of bend hooks if they don't sit perfectly, you probably know this, but if the hook doesn't pierce all the way through but gets stuck on something hard the levers change and it'll bend at a fraction of the load it normally holds. PS: Saw you used a twin power on that first fish, was it a borrowed reel or did you change your mind about about it?

[@S.SABRY.]

What is your recommendation of boat Rods has lot of bending and the max tall is 180 centimeters Specially for live bait

[@maxschmidt9461]

@@S.SABRY. honestly I can't give you a clear recommendation, on reels there's a lot of hard facts and clearly superior ones, with rods, as long as the basics are met, quality guides, preferably sic(actual sic, like made by Fuji, SeaGuide etc, not some resin shit), ideally titanium, though it only really matters for longer rods and actually only the first 1-2 guides(steel isn't bad but twice as heavy, so it can throw the balance off) and a strong reel seat(I highly recommend upwind cause down wind gets loose from usage and the last thing you want is the reel flying off and potentially taking the guides with it on a big fish) there's really not much to be said past what you can work with/like the best. A lot of bend helps to put on more pressure, seems like you already know this. If you want just a rod that can fight big fish a much cheaper glass blank is perfectly fine (though with good guides and a quality reel seat 200-300€/$ is still expected), only if you want the casting, lightness and feedback of carbon(and are willing to accept that it's easier to break the rod) you need to pay 500-1000$/€ for a rod that has the upsides of carbon and still the bend and fighting power of a glass rod made to fight fish with close to no regard for other things. One tip is to take a scale and set the drag to a pressure you want to be able to fish and then try a few rods in a shop to see which one gives you the power and feel you like.

[@S.SABRY.]

@@maxschmidt9461 I get the Makaira 30000 , and I don’t know why, I just Love it , Now I have the 10000 And the 30000 For the 30000 I think about to use it with live bait,, I do a lot of searching and end up with this model GOUKI MOGI-Special MHH16S And yes it’s ( 1000 $ ) rod You can check this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3e0hmSVpNSLo6M Trying to find something cheaper than this ,,, Also some research said that UD Glass rods stronger than Carbon

[@maxschmidt9461]

@@S.SABRY. I feel you, my 50W Makaira Leverdrag also has a special place in my heart... Gonna get the spinners eventually as well. That rod surely can take a beating cause they were literally trying to break it with that high sticking. Make sure to get a spinning version though, spinal guides with a spinning reel would make the rod unfishable.

[@maxschmidt9461]

@@S.SABRY. cheapest option would be the hellcat extra heavy, ideally you'd have it stripped down, cut to the length you want and rebuild with Fuji sic guides(steel are fine, won't make any difference on a set up this heavy) still probably a good bit less than a jigging rod(the only off the shelf rods like this you'll find) but of course it won't have the refined feeling of a Japanese high end rod. I'd also look into what Shimano, Okuma and Daiwa have on heavy jigging rods. As long as the guides are all on top of the rod you could also use a casting rod, spinning models would be a bit better but you can use any rod with spinners and conversationals as long as it isn't spiral wrapped, or has a trigger grip
