Overnight Bluefin Tuna + Swordfish Trip, NonStop Action

[@briansupermag3918]

Chris I just have to say I absolutely love how you respect all the fish and take the time to appreciate them. Also another thing I love how you can take the time to appreciate what is around you like the sunset. I am impressed. Thanks for doing this videos. Brian

Just a real quick comment guys n gals. I watch a lot of Florida swordifishing vids. They're mostly in 30-maybe 40 ft Center Consoles if that. To provide a frame of reference......our Beam alone is 15'2" and our cockpit is at least twice the square footage of their entire fishing space on the whole boat. So when you think our fish look small compared to theirs. Just consider the background and how DSLR and GoPRo cams change/alter dimension. Also....I'm not knocking Florida guys. I used to live and fish there and am ultimately jealous as all hell. But this is my HOME>

Dude went swimming for that fish. I'm definitely going to hit the thumbs up

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Awesome thank you!

Outstanding good job👍 swordfish still on my bucket list

Thanks as always for watching Pete!!!

Late comment, but have watched a bit of your stuff and just now the sword videos as its on the list running out of DE to get one next season once we get the tackle ironed out and probably build a rod for it. Was going to comment on the video previously of your first sword and say that beastmaster sure looked like it was struggling on that first smaller sword, and than this video your using the big guns. Congrats on getting the puzzle solved.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Yea the Beastmaster was a bit underpowered for these swordies. The Hooker 80 is no joke though

[@dillonfishing]

Awesome can’t wait to see our recent trip on here!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Yea man.....Swords and a Ghost Ship!!!

Nice couple trips there! Way to pull together some fine catches.

Boys, Haters are always gonna hate (ie:Kraken). Great video. I've been doing this for a while now, just worry about your audience, not some anonymous comment. You will soon see they are jealous you are having great times with your friends.. Ya can't fix miserable lol. keep them coming !!! #ZackRules

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks for the kind words Mark and thanks so much for the input we really appreciate it. I really am just trying to have some fun and bring others along on our adventures. Maybe help some people out from time to time as well. And yeah....Zac is the man!!!

@@reaperfishingnj8623 It's good stuff Chris, we used the shark rigs all year with great success. We all call them the "Reaper Rig" now !! Stay the course brother ...

Love the videos brother. Let’s get you to 100k subscribers by the end of this year. Your content deserves it

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much Jim. Wouldn't that be awesome!!!!!

[@davewylie654]

Great stuff guys. The one thing i have to say is ole boy who gaffed the Wahoo is in for a rude awakening if he keeps letting their mouths near his feet. That can turn ugly real quick and it ruins a day. I say this from experience 😂 That Hooker electric setup is SICK

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much for watching Dave. Not sure why the boys didn't have their boots on. I'll mention it to them.

[@redflametech]

Down in the Gulf off of Alabama or Louisana out Venice, as much as we love to see blue water and flying fish and all the fun stuff, we have had our best days by far in green water. It can't be brown Mississippi river flood water with hyacinths floating in it (yes, we have seen hyacinths the last couple of times 90 miles south of Mobile Bay), but green is preferrable for yellowfin fishing because you can run up to 100lb flouro and slightly larger circle hooks with no danger of them seeing it and not biting. When it's blue we have had to go down to 3/0 hooks and 40lb flouro, which makes it very very hard to catch them.

[@lifeexperience4703]

I need to get on the REAPER trip man!!! How can I fish with ya ?!?

[@ciroromer7380]

Thanks for sharing Chris. Was in the Spencer and Wilmington this Sunday...no tuna but plenty of Mahi. Where did you order the shirts?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks as always for watching Ciro!! Yeah the Mahi fishin finally getting good. Which shirts are you referring to Ciro?

[@ciroromer7380]

the ones with Reaper Fishing on them. Looking to get some with my boat name on it but can’t find a good place to order them.

How much did that boat cost she’s a beauty

[@Fj4LiFe23]

do the guys split fuel with you?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

for the most part no. I don't ask anyone for a dime.

[@Fj4LiFe23]

@@reaperfishingnj8623 amazing to be able to do for them! wondering the etiquette if you wanna make more trips for chipping in for fuel because obviously it can add u tremendously.

[@bayonne]

What rod are you using for the swordfish? Who makes it and what model? Thanks Bill

[@chrisredding6034]

Are you ever going to allow a subscriber to come out fishing with ya? I would take you out on my boat in southeast Florida. We have a nice house and your welcome to come… just let me know.

[@hef-outdoors2116]

hey I am from Pa and have some family in cape may. love your vids. would love to fish with you or just pick your brain. I've always wanted to have a capable offshore boat and now that kids are older we are thinking of moving to the area in the next few years. if ever a chance to get together I'd gladly pay my share to fish or a good meal just to chat for a bit. keep the vids coming.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

thanks so much for watching Hef. Maybe meet up at the boat one day? We have so many requests for guys/gals to come fishing I just can't accomadate everyone.

Our 54” last week was 100 even weighed at oaklands could be 100

How do you bleed your tuna ?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

typically we put a cut just behind the pectoral fin.

[@trancemusic8805]

do you do charters?

I understand the harvest of the swordfish hooked in the eye but really, you kept that juvenile swordfish? Why? Way too small!

[@brandywine3235]

How can you say its way to small if it with in the legal limits? Like saying your way to young to drink at 22 years old.
