NEW RECORD! World's first Bluefin Tuna Caught off the rocks in New Zealand!? - SIDE MISSION EP4

This is Part 2 of our quest to become the first to catch a Bluefin Tuna off the rocks in New Zealand. We pick things up in Fiordland where the last episode finished and attempt move spots in order to base ourselves off a ledge that could have tuna cruising past.

[@joedennehy386]

Magnificent work boys, loving it, Scott, the reason you have Holy Ship, is that its a device for keeping you out of the water. Love your work

Saw a Tuna being caught off a boat in Doubtful sound over 20yrs ago and it was within a few meters of the rocks. Ive always thought it would be an epic adventure and wondered when someone would Land base for one. Well done bros, and full credit to the Skipper and the Drone pilot too. An awesome team effort.

There are a couple nz based fishing shows that I won't mention that I bet are muttering a few swear words under their breath lolz. Absolutely epic amazing unbelievable are there any other words that I can use im sure there are well done lads and thanks for bringing us along!!! Did you ever think when you started all those years ago that you would be able to achieve something like this and to document it on film to put in the pages of history well done lads well done 👌

What boat is that?

[@pemancingkampuang1817]

Luar biasa ini.

[@MySprike]

I was wondering what gear you are using

[@FishingAdventureCrew]

Combos were - Okuma Tesoro/Makaira (Scott) and Okuma Cedros/Nano Matrix (Mig). Terminal tackle was - Black Magic Hyperglide braid, Black Magic 200lb tough trace and OTL stickbaits 🤙

Using a boat to get to said rocks... and ya mates in the boat probably throwing burley out to get them in.. not really the same as walking up, chucking a line out and nabbing a bluefin. Still pretty epic though 🤙

[@livingintheLight.]

Why don't you fish off the boat?

[@FishingAdventureCrew]

Few reasons - But mainly it’s way more of a challenge off the rocks. Plenty of bluefin tuna have been caught off boats in NZ… this is the first off the rocks ☝️

[@MenCanNotBeWomen]

well done.. big thumbs up..

[@FishingAdventureCrew]

👍👍 cheers

[@sondon7103]

The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!
