[@rpc6828]

Dan what is your schedule next month trips?

[@zakkrick]

Very informative, past two deep sea fishing I went to, I didn’t have the right set up. Didn’t catch anything.

[@liemh9290]

He brought the whole Cabelas warehouse with him

[@johnpacheco2501]

Son!!

[@jacobgeorge8136]

Have you seen that one Californian rod that's very short and has all roller guides, I'm thinking of buying one for a lightweight trolling setup

[@dansportfishing]

it should be a good choice for a trolling outfit.

[@ricks2123]

Thanks! Great info! What a good Man!!

[@dansportfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnnyboy5010]

In regards to your last setup for the heavier tuna how many yards of mono would you recommend..I have a avet lx raptor 2 speed with 100 pound spectra

[@rubenmadrid3154]

Hey Dan what model accurate is that ??

[@antonyhibberd8728]

Looks like a fury

[@xhammerhead22x]

If i was gonna run 80lb spectra to 40 or 50lb mono/fluorocarbon top shot how many yards spectra would you put on? And how about your 100lb spectra heavy setup as well?

[@dinodon1]

what rods do you suggest for The Okuma Komodo?

[@Jamesdrawcraftart]

Hi am from the caribbean to be exact Trinidad and Tobago, i would really like to know the best way to fish for tuna and how to make a proper rig.

[@sab35263]

Hi Dan is that a 16 VISX or a 20 VISX penn reel?

[@Livinoutdoors_]

So what’s a good Californian rod for a penn fathom 25N ? 809 or the 909 ?

[@William.fitness.travels]

What rod are you using with the komodo?

[@tyeruotolo6985]

Hi Dan, what series rod is on that accurate? great video by the way. Thanks

[@dansportfishing]

It's a Californian Rod made by Phoenix, they are only sold at Turner's Outdoorsman stores.

[@LTTang]

@@dansportfishing what line rating on the rods should I bee looking for?

[@dansportfishing]

@@LTTang for this season I've been fishing light line for the yellowfin tuna. 20-25 pound test line worked best. For the large bluefin you'll need to tart off with a 100 pound test line set up. It changes every season.

[@intensity75]

sport-fishing.com sold at bass pro shop and online

[@jordansollitto6171]

would a size 8000 diawa bg work for yellowtail?

[@Terryray123]

I use a penn slamer 3 6500 with 50# it getting the job done.

[@williammcgee349]

Can you post a link for the first reel you showed?

[@dansportfishing]

I'll try to do that tonight.

[@dansportfishing]

Here you go, sport-fishing.com/product/okuma-komodo-ss-400-series-power-handle-high-speed-low-profile-baitcaster-right-hand/

[@johnsmith-xd9ej]

Komodo 400 Series has now been tried and tested to be a reliable and great reel at par with the Overpriced Tranx without the hefty price tag...

[@vizcarraawd]

What rod is on the Komodo Dan?

[@Frank-xn8ci]

What model accurate was that

[@guilhermetavares2863]

And how about shimano talica all this kind of fishing?

[@guilhermetavares2863]

@Taevon mahi'ai why?

[@travisbaetz8173]

How do you compare that komodo to a Lexa 400?

[@LTTang]

Check this out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4Onq6uvatR4qNE

[@m4a1JAY]

I would say the Lexa, especially the newer models are better than the Komodo.

[@gxazr1714]

What is the model of the accurate reel

[@larrydsanchez]

Looked like a two speed boss fury 500 or 600

[@2derekjeter2]

what knot do you use Dan to tie your braid to mono....

[@dansportfishing]

I use two different ones, a double uni and also the RP knot, also known as the John Collins knot, both work for me.

[@A.Matt7]

Now which bait is used

[@dansportfishing]

first choice to school size tuna would be live bait. Second choice would be a 4.5 oz. Magic Metal jig.

[@ricewinner2596]

"spectra" and "spinning reels" is still considered taboo on sportfishing boats here on the West Coast, So Cal. Too many Noobs can't feel their spectra line and just let line out and tangle everyone is just frustrating with folks who do their homework. Noobs...DO YOUR HOMEWORK! STOP BEING A NOOB!!! Learn how to use a conventional reel!!!

[@notfounder285]

What do you mean feel line

[@tntsrv]

@@notfounder285 He is referring to how lots of people let out about 70 yards of spectra while live bait fishing because it is so limp before someone else brings it all in. the noobs in question pay out line faster than their baits swim the second the bait hits the water, in hope of letting the bait swim free, when in reality as long as it's swimming it's a great bait. they aren't able to feel their bait swimming, which is never acceptable, always keep track of what's going on so you never miss a hook set. If you watch Dan's older video called "how to tuna with the pros" they go through this exact scenario, and the captain calls this "wishing", not fishing... I recommend always fishing enough mono on your reel to cover twice the distance your bait will be swimming away from you so that you can keep a good stiff line out during the soak and strike... rubber band rigs and the like will obviously require a larger reel because you will be fishing deeper, and therefore be fishing more mono... If you have to upsize reels, do it. never cut corners. I fish a penn jigmaster with 40lb trilene big game all the way down the spool and people with fancy two-speeder braid setups look at me sideways until i'm the one winching on the biggest fish of the day, or better. (clean fresh line every trip, very important)...

[@vash347]

why use Hooks so small? for tuna that size I'd be using 3/0 minimum. those fish pull so hard if you foul hook on the Jaw one the hook can chip on the lip and she's gone... I feel like a lot of these videos leave people more confused than anything. why have braid to mono to floro, that's 3 weak points in the line unless you're running fg knots which take between 2 to 3 minutes to tie well then uni to uni, once again, weak spots. a lot more detail is needed in a lot of these videos...

[@girabaldytasty6224]

@@Samurai_1619 good stuff,

[@robertsteele7117]

MAN ! there different size fish thats why different size hooks DUH!

[@tokay999]

you fish straight braid?

[@johnsmith-xd9ej]

Duh....blue fin right now down SD is biting on small hook....1/0 hook is the ticket!

[@lvitntnmrcls]

Not to much info in this video.
