Thanks Augie Man!!!

Badass vid! Exactly everything I want to see in a vid like this... the pre- trip in the baitshop, the captains brief, the spectators point of view, the entanglements (reality) and the fruits of labor involved!

ZAWZWWWWWWZZAA🌺🌺🌴🌴🌴

[@shigor]

Ah.. Mustang.. Always the last boat to be full for a reason... The first and last time I fished on this boat (HM Landing) the captain and crew were fishing HARD while the customers were losing fish trying to untangle themselves... SD Fish and Sips thank you for the videos!!! These are great!!

[@SDFishandSips]

Thank you Shigor! Plenty more videos in the way. Thanks for the love and support.

[@basilistitieh5862]

good to know, what boat do you recommend?

[@connorbaldwin1008]

The sound of the braid going through the guides is so awesome. Just landed a 75 lber last friday within shouting distance of the islands. What a spring and summer bft bite.

[@SDFishandSips]

Congrats on the fish. We are living in a special time right now. Life is incredible with all this bluefin opportunity. Stoked on what the future has in store

[@mikereader6111]

For sure! I love fishing with Captain Steve and the Mustang Crew. Good times! Tight lines

[@ednesbit2988]

I went on the next overnight trip on the mustang that year and we Killed it on the bigger bluefin that year it was all about flat falls at night and the knifejigs were just coming into the. Picture that season I loved it the mustang and captain are a great boat and crew they know how to catch big bluefin tuna

[@davidkyle6463]

@ SD Fish & Sips Bro this is one of your best Vids! The Captain gives on of the Best pre game tutorials I've ever heard. Lord knows I sat threw many but his approach of how to best fish the night bite and prepare for the day bite is so simplistic that even newbies can comprehend his scenario's. Been watching your videos for a while now hope to see you on a trip this year. Great work "Tight Lines".

Thanks Tyler. I have a lot of content and I’m trying my hardest to pump it all out. Thanks for watching and enjoying.

[@ducksgo]

Super awesome. I’m surprised no one fished the sinker rig first thing in the morning. I always put away the jig after sun up.

[@wesleymonske8103]

Depends on the bait. Just keep that jig moving. A squirt of shrimp oil never hurts either. Try a cedar plug. And most important hang on.ha ha

[@KiwiReacts]

Hell yeah i love long videos

This looks like a lot of fun. Like, similar to a root canal.

[@eriklarson9137]

Oof. Imagine paying money to do this? Lol. Even if they paid me I would stay home. This isn't fishing in any way, shape, or form. Maybe with 1/10th of the people on that boat it might be doable.

[@SDFishandSips]

Haha. It’s definitely not for everyone and takes a special type of person / mindset. Thanks for watching!!

@@eriklarson9137 This is a nightmare!

[@marcb6290]

Looks and sounds like a constant demeaning lecture on a hugely expensive boat ride. Japanese gentle man from California use to bring my beach crew on Maui slabs of blue fin every summer. Super awesome brother and some of the tastiest fish I ever had.

[@SDFishandSips]

Haha. Thanks Mark. This big bluefin tuna fishing isn’t for everyone. That’s amazing you had a beach crew on Maui. Last time I was on Maui III December 2019 got kayak fish bonefish with Captain Jon Jon Tabon in Kihei and watch the Jaws contest from the cliffs. Thanks for watching!

[@johnwehrly2899]

The second captain on this boat has a horrible attitude. He’s the kid wearing the blue shirt. He told my buddy he was gonna cut his line with a fish on… I’ve had problems with him before too. Steve needs to get rid of this kook

[@SDFishandSips]

Thanks for watching John.

Yep, you couldn’t pay me enough to ride that boat ever again, my buddys 14yo son was on his first trip and had to see that guy give the whole fucking boat bad vibes and tension. And his dad saved for a long time to take him on that trip. Just seeing this pisses me off!

[@rcastimatilla9268]

The first intro was my uncle JM matilla. This is crazy tuna. He caught 150lbs to this trip 28.09 mins

I've been on the mustang before. He gets on the fish every time. The only thing I didn't like was the bunks on that boat

What's up with the bunks?

[@shaundm78]

@@loyaltilltheend2500 very small bunks and very little cushion. It's like sleeping on wood

[@rjc89sir]

Do you know why he recommends 60lb mono for sinker rigs? Is straight braid to fluoro leader not recommended?

[@SDFishandSips]

Mono is recommended for stretch. Spectra/braided line does not stretch. Thanks for watching!

[@ahmadghanem2414]

Can you please go over the set up that the captain recommended? Did he say : 50 lb mono for jigs and flat fall , 60 lb fluro for sinker rig during the day with 2/0 hook? I would appreciate it

[@SDFishandSips]

60-80lb mono top shot. 60lb fluro for live bait sinker rig and use pre rigged flat fall lures that come with 130lb mono with crimped connections.

[@ahmadghanem2414]

@@SDFishandSips thanks . Heading down from LA to fish the constitution for 1.5. Will rig down there .

[@work4it384]

How many feet on the top shot ?

80lb spectra/braided line on the tranx

Not the belly shot?!

[@SDFishandSips]

Thanks for watching.

[@rennywolf9586]

does ant of the boats do ANY light line fishing im looking at coming that way first of the Year

[@SDFishandSips]

Your probably better off contacting a smaller 4 or 6 pack boat that does specialized fishing versus one of these big sport boats.

[@gusrojas6500]

Damm. 😳. Lots of action. What would be best to take on full day trip. About how many rods , I have 2 combos for 20-60lb. And 1 combo for 100lb plus Is that enough ?? This will be my 1st time tuna fishing

[@RatedRTV]

Its always best to call the landing to check what size fish they've been seeing. On a full day youll usually just see school size yellowfin with some smaller blues mixed in. At minimum id bring a 25lb, 40lb and an 80lb. Those are the flouo leader recommendations, the braid backing would be heavier on each setup.

[@SDFishandSips]

If you’re going right now on a boat that is targeting big bluefin bring 1 100lb setup (2 speed lever drag reel with strong drag and lots of 80-100lb braid) and 1 40lb setup. Keep it simple and stay focused. Good luck!

[@LandoFishing]

I have to ask what drone do you have? I think I want to start using one for my videos

[@SDFishandSips]

I have a DJI Mavic mini 2.

[@LandoFishing]

@@SDFishandSips just screen shot that so I can look into getting one. Thank you

Someone else takes it home

[@jasonstromberg3413]

Great video what tackle store is that btw?

[@SDFishandSips]

Fisherman’s Landing Tackle Shop right there at the landing where all the boats come in.

Yo im going on the overnight on Wednesday

The hook is a slipping!😂 wtf

[@generalrambo1516]

Was that guy in the camo using a Penn 4/0?

[@Spaceman_Spiff_74]

that Penn/ Ugly stick combo!

[@Tony67032]

does it makes sense 130lb setup tapper down to 50lb mono to 60lb floro for sinker rig , wouldn't the rod be to stiff plus you wont be able to even lift that hard, you would break that 50lb leader , I mean if you have a setup that holds 500 yards of 65 or 80 with the proper rod you will be able to land it

[@SDFishandSips]

BFT is tough fishing

[@Tony67032]

@@SDFishandSips yeah but what he said dont make sense 130 tapper to 60 just use a reel with 500 yard of 60lb , anyways you will have to set your drag to 60lb and not 130lb

[@paullago8345]

Way too many people were booked for this trip! Look at all of constant tangled lines and I can only imagine how many lost fish there were. Mustang Fishing must be interested in the bottom line, profits! Look at everyone crammed in like canned sardines! Whatever their max booking per trip is, they need to cut it in half!

[@brianfmueller]

I am still trying to understand why he is pushing 130lb braid. The reels drag will be set to a 1/4-1/3 of the fluoro/mono at strike so it really doesn't matter what the braid backing is as long as it is higher rated than the topshot. Is it for the larger frame reel or possibly higher capacity?

[@RatedRTV]

On a heavy setup like 80+ its typically on a bigger/wider reel, so having 80 braid to 80 top, would take a lot of braid to fill the reel $$$. Also since the diameter isn't a huge difference from 80 to 130, your better off running 130 for the extra strength and cut resistance(in case you rub braid with another fish) and then youll spend less on the braid since youll have a little less capacity. Lastly you can now run 80, 100, or 130 flouro on top that 130 braid

[@brianfmueller]

@@RatedRTV Thanks for the explination.

[@SDFishandSips]

Bluefin are big strong fish that break tackle and equipment.

[@brianfmueller]

@@SDFishandSips thanks just try to understand. I most likely have to up my reel size bashed on the size of fish being caught. Went out last year and most BFT were 25-50 lbs in late July so I could get by with a smaller reel.

[@thevernonposse]

I really don't get it when someone hooks up next to me and is getting anywhere close to the boat I'm reeling up and moving people are so ignorant I'd be fighting people for sure

[@mikehurtle]

That’s an awesome crew working on that boat, they better be getting tipped good. Because they’re working with a lot of clueless people. No offense because I’ve never done that either, but wow. Weak arms and lazy minds. Lol you’re out there for an amazing time and you give up. Not listening to the captain makes it a cluster F making you not catch fish.

[@SDFishandSips]

Thanks for watching!

[@stephenhogue5567]

Boring video!

[@paulgilliland2992]

Most people on party boats have no clue how to fly line bait . The crew are the best in the business but when , they give people instructions advice etc it goes one ear and out the other.

[@davidhollingsed7756]

The guy in the blue shirt is an excellent deck hand just trying to straighten the novices out.. This was a once in a lifetime fishing experience and the last thing you need to do is to be offended by a deckhand who's trying to bring in fish for the boat. You guys need to grow up or don't go fishing in the ocean during tuna season! It's only for the big boy's gentleman...

[@thevernonposse]

Well said you got guys still jigging when there is a fish 2 feet from them with gaffs in it ignorant idiots

[@denzilburriss5156]

I saw two fish landed out of all those people...........is that what a person expects out of all these fishermen>? Come on......why would anyone pay for this?

[@MontaukFilms7]

To hear this captain listen to the sound of his own voice for half the video.
