Offshore Medley

It was a slow start to the 2020 season. In keeping with the theme of the entire country....things just did not start out right for us on REAPER in 2020. We are so used to stellar fishing, right decisions, and good karma. I think this year just kinda snuck up on us. The first few trips of the year were tough to say the least. But in looking back at the footage I got to spend some quality time with my very best of friends and family out on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. i guess that's all one can ever ask. The vids from here will get much better with regards to killing tuna. I love you all and thank you so much for watching!!

[@biffjohnson7107]

Sitting here in N. Wildwood still trying to get out tuna fishing for the first time in my life. Thanks for sharing this!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@charlesmorgan2309]

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much Charles!!

[@richardcatalinajr.369]

Dude, I have been waiting. Can't wait to watch . . . .

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much Richard

Reaper, my son and I are just getting started with new boat , love your videos, you make it look effortless. Leaving out of GE inlet. Looking to get into some mahi within 20 miles. 23’ center console. How close do they come. Also, how do you find lobster pots. Is it just a hunting game or is there something I can look up. Looking to find a starting point and go from there. Lmk if you would. Tight lines. Keep the vids coming.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

SOmetimes they come as close as 5 miles. But 15-30 is a good rule of thumb. THere are pots about 18 miles out of Atlantic City. There's also some near the reefs and wrecks.

[@antoniofederico6598]

Reaper Fishing NJ thx so much. Appreciate it

[@bruceharbac1503]

Been there. That's what you call a potato night

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Ha. Thanks for watching Bruce!

[@biffjohnson7107]

33:15 looks like a Nordhavn

[@derekdyer7272]

Always have the best content for South NJ! How far out were you grabbing those Bluefin Tuna?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

thanks so much Derek. The first bluefin were way in the deep of the Toms Canyon. The second round of bluefin were only about 40 miles out my inlet.

[@outdooraddiction8401]

What drone are you using for areial shots

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

I think it's the DJI Mavick II

[@DENNISTunaKiller]

Hey Chris thanks for another great video, We've been catching the same size bluefin tuna.The bigger fish showed up this july 4th weekend. Still wondering if u gave the raffle idea any more thought?Dennis from LONG ISLAND NY AKA Rod father.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

thanks as always for watching Dennis! As of now no plans.

[@MsJon52]

enjoyed the vid, and the views from the drone are excellent, just one criticism, im very selfish i want to see you do well for years to-come so do this old salt a favour will you? look after yourself and get enough sleep Bro, i now in the near future its all going to kick off, huge Mako, Tuna, and i want to see it, im not being a dick, just want you to do well = big fish, also a big thumbs up for keeping a few returning a few, excellent.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much for watching Jon!! I definetely catch up on sleep in between the fishing marathons. Thanks so much for the advice. I'm so used to having little sleep it doesn't affect me so much. Luckily Zac usually grabs sleep on the overnighters so he runs the boat on the way back in on day 2 and I can sleep a bit.

[@blindabinda1234]

What canyon you at?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

all of em!!

[@blindabinda1234]

@@reaperfishingnj8623 out at stellwagon or Jeffrey ledge or whatever? I've never been out there. Me and my buddy might try to brave the trip on his 22 cc on the right day. Still gotta get the hms permit though.

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

Well it’s all the finning boats depleting the resources

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

yea. so sad.

[@atlantispropeller1391]

Thanks for the shout out Capt! 17:29 Thanks for your business! Enjoying the videos and best of luck rest of 2020 season.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

You're welcome and thanks so much for watching

[@OTHG6v]

Rad!

[@bobbymiszkiewicz7369]

Love your videos- just went out today to the triple wrecks which is about 10miles short of the tip of the Hudson. Lots of life with big bluefin on top. Was able to get our two unders but no over. Overall a good trip just needed that over to complete the trip. Keep up the awesome videos!!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much Bobby. We were up that way about a week ago. Just too many boats we only had a few fish.

[@timadams3486]

Nice half time March where's the lucky cigar? All your video are worth watching

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks Tim. There were tons and tons of em!!

[@tylerferlsan9463]

Hey you might know me I’m Jillians son from the ER at Southern Ocean Medical Center she showed me this. Anyways HOW ARE YOU CATCHING SOMETHING EVERY MINUTE

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Gotta put your time in big guy!!

[@ciroromer7380]

Thx for sharing Chris. We all go though the challenging times fishing. It makes you remember the good ones! Enjoy your similar passion for fishing. See you out there!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks as always Ciro.

[@Bamapride1000]

I said I’d sleep when they put me in a box the same as you said and I was given a different look at life. I’m now the sick family member being dealt with. I’m 39 years old and the findings the last couple months are telling me I’ll never see another push off from the docks. It’s been 8 years since I’ve been out deep and I’ve accepted that was my last trip. Y’all boys enjoy and take care of yourselves.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Aw man I'm so sorry to hear that Josh. Thank you for watching. I'll be thinking of you

[@Bamapride1000]

Reaper Fishing NJ bro don’t think of me I’ve lived a damn good life y’all go out and enjoy your own. It’s all about making memories with those we love most and I’ve done my fair share I promise that lol. I’ve put this body in the shape it’s in by making memories and few accidents along the way. I honestly don’t think I could handle standing on a boat and fishing like that anymore but I’d probably give it a try because I do love it but I’d pay for it. I used to love fishing bass tournaments and I can’t even handle that grind anymore. It’s life man and I’ve had a damn good one this far and I wouldn’t change a thing. Keep up the great vids man and enjoy the time you have cause you never know when it’ll change, cherish every single moment good or bad because on the end you’re still doing what you love.

[@joeyleggz3528]

Hey man great videos but way to many commercials 😞

[@bubbletrail6404]

Great video, few fish and small fish beat "NO FISH". Good to see you out doing it

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much

[@GuilhermeSilva-qm8kj]

congratulations chris, for the first tuna trip, and sharing your video, I fished my first tuna last year, very cool to watch your videos, I hope one day to fish with you.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks!

[@ContrastNY]

That looks like a Nordhavn 60 that passed by you.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Ahh ok. It was pretty darn cool!!

[@oxman1834]

Killer video!! The quadcopter footage is sweet!!! Definitely need some more of that! It’s also a great way to spot sea life as you already know. The Ace Ventura impression was great!!!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

thanks so much Ox. Yea I'm losing it for sure

[@douglaspotter8902]

How do you like your Bluefin Tuna ? Ceviche/seared ?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

it's good so many different ways. I eat it raw as sashimi. I make my own sushi. I'll cook it on grill, pan sear, etc. It's just fattier with a different taste then yellowfin

[@trancemusic8805]

will you do another vid this summer with sea money fishing?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Dunno Trance. Maybe. we share some of the same friends.

[@reelchaoscharters3605]

Good stuff Capt. Nice to show all your hard work and sometimes things just don’t always work. Been out there 3 times this year and all our fish have been on the sterling wide trackers. Thanks for keeping it real..
