Shore Jigging TUNA on SONIO 93 M

[@extaseafishing]

It's an honour just to have this beast on your hooks! Great fight!

[@maxdocken]

Thanks mate - I see it exactly the same way! What a crazy creature down there! 😱 I tried to cut a Video worshipping this amazing animal! Tight lines Max

[@extaseafishing]

Tight lines!@@maxdocken

[@JFPesca0]

What a fight against that monster! Amazing video as always Max!

[@maxdocken]

Thanks man - I appreciate your comment! Crazy experience that's why we go for SJ! 🧨

[@panosmamoyzellos3924]

Bravo Max!!!!! You hold the fish pretty good!!! If the hooks dont bent probably you Land this fish!!!!! At least you get the feeling of the tuna again!!!!! And you are lucky Because you don't lose any equipment!!! Panos from rhodes greece!!!!

[@maxdocken]

Hi Pano, yes absolutely! I was just sad for my brand ne Twin Power SW who got smoked. After service it's OK again but nut as smooth as it was... 🤦‍♂️ Imagine this happened to a brand new Stella/Saltiga 🤣 Tight lines Max

[@debeschboy8277]

Brutal!!! So ähnlich ging es mir letzes Jahr in der Adria^^ Liebe Grüße an alle Angler dieser Welt!

[@maxdocken]

Ja die Tunas werden immer mehr... auf der einen Seite gut, als Uferangler... 🙃 Tight lines Max

[@VertigoLures]

That was a sick tuna run! Too bad it got off, but as you say at least it's not carrying line and lure with it. Nice video again, keep em coming!

[@maxdocken]

Hi man 🙋‍♂️, yes I was a long time sure I will get spooled... 😅 Thanks I always work on progress - may Poseidon be with me! 😁 Tight lines Max

[@Bassman743HD]

Sonio was at its limit! Cannot pull any harder against that heavy tuna... Best case scenario in my opinion, besides landing it of course! (no line or lure left in fish mouth) Great video and amazing content Max! Good luck to Felix for his first SJ fight! Hopefully soon! Cheers!

[@maxdocken]

Hey Bassman, yeah man true! With 93 Sonio I could pull it but not a lot. I'm happy with the outcome but of corse I have this question in my mind - what if... Tight lines Max

[@Spinning_Inside]

Amazing video as always Max!!!🎣🤙

[@maxdocken]

Thank you guys! 🤩 Tight lines Max

[@stelioskaramitziotis2170]

Great video guys!!!!

[@maxdocken]

Thanks my friend! Crazy experience and good to share! Tight lines Max

[@stratisplymouth]

I swear fisherman put the nets in front of us on purpose. It happens to me a lot. I feel like casting a 100g jig to their head. You make great videos. Keep up the good work

[@maxdocken]

Especially for a shore angler when you have effort to get to the spot it's the worse that can happen. Thanks bro I appreciate it and comments like yours help to keep it up! 🙏 Just don't cast the jig... 😅 Tight lines Max

[@gdm1990]

Sometimes I wonder if casting on the nets with a PE 8 and a 200lb leader would do the job to eliminate the net's threat 🤣

[@johanvandenbergh475]

Great video, Max.

[@maxdocken]

Thanks Johan! ✌️ Greetings to Peloponisos!

[@thefishingcouple]

Krasser Biss💪💪

[@maxdocken]

Alte ja - mega eingestiegen! Danke dir ✌️

[@InspirationFischen]

Was für ein kranker Run ey! 😮😵‍💫😳

[@maxdocken]

Danke dir! Tuuunaaaa mit Vollgas!!! 😅

[@onthelake.]

Tolles Video, schade dass es mit dem Dicken nicht geklappt hat. Das hätte ich dir gegönnt und gern gesehen!

[@maxdocken]

Merci Onthelake, hätte ich auch... 😋 Wenn solche Fische vom Ufer beißen, dann spielt halt auch das Glück eine große Rolle! Tight Lines Max

[@fishinginthemed3110]

Really unfortunate to lose it in that way, but from another perspective it could have ended slightly better, but a lot worse. A great fight regardless man!

[@maxdocken]

Thanks man - I appreciate it! Absolutely it was a clear draw I would say! Tight lines Max

[@dkfishingshow]

Nice Fight!!!

[@maxdocken]

Thank you 🙏

[@marcelmahler1751]

Unfassbar diese Power! Man kann nicht immer gewinnen, vllt beim nächsten Treffen wieder😊

[@maxdocken]

Hi Marcel, absolut! Tunas vom Ufer sind mit diesem Equipment eine super heftige Herausforderung. Ich war froh, dass der Fisch so schnell wieder frei war!

[@Alexshorejigging9]

pity Bro, but you did everything possible and in any case they are always experiences that remain in our hearts!! great video😉😉👏💪

[@maxdocken]

Thanks Alex, yes indeed and when you think of it most fish we remember for a long time are fish we didn't catch! 🤣 Next time... 🤝

[@georgemakris626]

Nice video Max !!! At least you didn't have to carry the fish all the way back :) :) How hot was the reel???

[@maxdocken]

Hehe indeed! Thanks for your comment George - I couldn't touch the reel anymore. Super hot... 🥵 Tight lines Max

[@krasimirk]

Great fish, unfortunately lost. is this the light setup, Sonio 93M and 4000 twin power? do you have havier setup for 100-120gr jigs ?

[@maxdocken]

Yes of course, I chose this setup exactly for this spot because it was kind of shallow. Unfortunately the monster came by 😅

[@krasimirk]

@@maxdocken what's the heavier setup - maybe accura 100 with 8000 size reel ?

[@maxdocken]

@@krasimirk yes my heaviest Setup is Muthos Accura Racing 100 H and a Catalina 4500 H with PE 3. It's the best combination for the Mediterranean - light but still gives you power for really big fish! Greetings Max

[@vincenzomafodda]

💪🏻

[@maxdocken]

@@vincenzomafodda thanks brother! Crazy experience for sure!

[@Bliznevostochniy]

Exactly no tuna set up , but very good job bro , and next time if u target tuna come with ur another most strange setup Acura + 8K with 3/4Pe and u gonna land he’s . Gods luck 🍀 .

[@maxdocken]

Thanks mate - yes sure but I wasn't target Tuna. 😅 But still I was not expecting that a setup like this could bent a 24 lbs hook.

[@PepiGv]

I dream of this kind of fight one day.... ❤ What size leader was?

[@maxdocken]

Hey PericaGv, one day it will come! 🍀 I was using 40 lbs leader. Tight lines Max

[@vagkan5402]

Καλησπέρα!Αν μπορείς βάλε Ελληνικούς υπότιτλους. Μπράβο φίλε μου εισαι μαχημος!

[@maxdocken]

Σε ευχαριστώ φίλε μου! Δυστυχώς δεν μπορώ να μιλήσω ελληνικά, αλλά θα δω τι μπορώ, ίσως ένας μεταφραστής δουλέψει... Χαιρετισμούς Max

[@Psevdokranos]

the beast was testing your muscles and gear Max, you're gonna need stronger hooks and possibly an electrohydraulic winch to bring such a lorry out of the sea.

[@maxdocken]

Hahaha could be one option 😅 Have a look one my videos I got one a few years ago but with more heavy equipment. But yes testing the limits is always a good experience! From now on even with Sonio only ST-36 hooks or ready Jigger Medium Assists! Tight lines Max

[@valyvaly3592]

Tuna strike 😂😂😂...no chance...

[@maxdocken]

Crazy 😜
