Run-and-Gun and Live Bait for Bluefin Tuna on Cape Cod | S18 E11

[@taymeekoopthanaroj1632]

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

You know you have a good fish on when everybody is fighting over who gets to be the gaff and wheel man. Great episode!

My two absolute favorite roles right there! Haha pulling on them is a young mans game! 🤣

Thanks for watching!

@@OnTheWaterMedia Amazing video bro ! What rods are you guys using for spinning ?!?

[@heybyespin2683]

This was an epic fight and reminded me of watching a tag-team wrestling match from the old WWF days! Incredible action, constant supportive communication, and phenomenal teamwork. Well done, boys! Makes me want to get out there with my buddies and put this good info to use!

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

Thank you!

Oh man, when you guys lost the first one I felt that so much. Great teamwork action, that fish was a beast!

It's mutual brother - let's fish soon. Been way too long!

Awesome video guys and awesome fish good luck this season ! 🤙

I would love to go out for tuna someday. Even for yellowfin and albacore.

Great episode!!

[@poorhouz5051]

Ohhhhhhhh this was so exciting watching....... That fish was BIG!!!! TO ME... LOL

[@fishingtacklechannel]

Really well made video. Big Sports fishing isn’t my thing but really enjoyed watching the video and understand why people do it. The real question is, who ate the heart?

[@robwholley2115]

Nice one Cheech! Looking to tackle my second BFT this year.

[@Cheech23]

Thanks man! Get on em! Hope all is well!

[@joshturner299]

I can't wait to get out there and try catching a tuna I have everything except the cooler bag. I'm hooked before even trying tuna fishing. Any tips this rookie would definitely appreciate all the tips I can get.

[@gregmenegio8363]

Same here. Rookie. Spending the money but need to actually go tuna fishing. Cannot wait!!

[@chrisdevone7396]

Look for the birds and the life. Shearwaters and petrels are giveaways for tuna. Match the size of the baits they are on. And cant beat a Bluewhite hoo way back.

[@MLGPro630]

chris is way too calm after droppin that fish... i would of been breaking shit

[@Cheech23]

Hahahaha it was hard to hold back - but the way it came unbuttoned was such a freak bad luck type deal it really didn't bring much anger - just depression. Nobody to be mad at but the fish gods LOL.

Not sure. She got bled, stuffed in a fish bag packed in ice and processed as soon as we got back to the dock so the whole office could take some fresh tuna home. 🍣

I would say 140

[@braydenkeyes]

@onthewatermedia Great episode !!recently put some money into ghost hunter popping rod haven’t used it yet was wondering your take on the action I’m primarily in bluefin from 25 - to 250 plus in deep water felt the 300g over the 200g for a little more end game pumping power along with tag team approach any real world insight is much appreciated .... safe travels and tight lines🤙🤙🤙

So who gets to say,I caught a Bluefin today,1 guy or 3?

The guy who hooked it gets the point, the others get the assist.

They all get credit. Teamwork is key in tuna fishing.

[@paokang1242]

Omg I never see it bro wow 😳

[@webmoss]

Any type of fishing…. Back off the drag when the fish is close. But in the heat if the moment it’s easier said than done. Live and learn!
