Over the past 3 years I have become a fanatic about the “inshore” fishing south of MV. This video really shows how diverse and special of a fishery we have here on Cape Cod so close to shore. From 50# yellows blowing up everywhere, to big mahi lurking on the pots, to a monster white marlin chasing the mahi. It really is a special place out there and not too far from home. Amazing video!

Hell yeah!! That tuna airing out on the popper was epic!

[@GrimReaper68440]

So awesome to watch those YFT skyrocket out the water after that popper. Epic

[@seanlayton7326]

Incredible episode…props on rhetorical catch, but better yet, the amazing crew for the camera work!

[@churchwood5016]

Very exciting. WHAT a trip!

[@kevingould8190]

Some really nice sized yellowfin for inshore New England! Must have been some quality intel.

"... How important the pause is. "You almost work a popper for yellowfin slower than pencil poppers for stripers". Great comment. A while back at a Gibbs lures seminar I asked how fast is the retrieve for stripers? The answer was "when you think you're going slow enough, slow down". My follow up was, "OK, how far is the retrieve in 1 minute"? Answer: 3 feet. That one answer changed my whole striper strategy. It would be confirmed years later by accident. New to casting reels and in a kayak, I created a fine birdsnest. After 2 minutes of clearing the spool, I looked around for the spook lure just as a 42" er calmly sucked the lure in from directly below in 5 feet of water. Another big piece of the puzzle. A tuna moving 50 feet to feed in nothing. Watching a straight up strike is a lifelong memory, even if it's a miss (if only I hadn't moved it, lol).

[@FishAholicTV]

[@JohnnyWalker22]

Great action boys! - Get some AFTCO gaffs on that boat! ;)

[@chrisbaco2835]

Absolutely they should or get more practice lol jk

[@FishingAddictNE]

Those are the only ones I use for tuna!

[@marcopugliese5946]

Pretty work boys

[@chrisstaab40]

What size Yeti is that under the Tuna door on starboard side?

[@Cheech23]

It's the Yeti Loadout GoBox 30 gear case.

[@rpietros]

saw the mahi airing out instantly thought wahoo or marlin on the prowl. FIRE ME UP

[@jonnyboy513]

What’s a good, not to pricy rod for popping 40-60lb yellows?. I make about 4 to 5 tuna trips per season so it’s not an every weekend thing for me.

[@Peter-zg3em]

jigging world makes great stuff and the prices are fair.

[@jiggingworld]

The Luminous Popping Rods that were used during filming of this sick episode might be the ticket! Available in a variety of Lengths & Powers. I'd recommend the 7'6" Medium Heavy model for what you're planning on chasing after. 😎

Shout out robbie sick ass photoghrapher

[@jrmunroe4024]

Never holster the gun, LOL that's going to be my new favorite saying

[@Nobodybaby78]

What rod and reel u using

[@erc2thelement]

Awesome video!!! What rods you guys using?

[@PVREL]

Why don’t you just use softbaits? Here in Italy we use those softbaits named “Black Minnow by Fiish” and they are just perfect for tuna Fishing, you have to rig them with a normal hook instead of the one with which they come.

[@chadwright3702]

There’s no better feeling then pointing the bow north with meat on deck . Longgg trip home otherwise

[@chadwright3702]

Which weather buoy is that?

[@EricMoniz-t6l]

That’s the one out there past the point and just before the big water

[@chadwright3702]

Oh ya. I should of known. I pass it everyday on the way to your moms house. Thought it looked familiar.
