Springtime Bluefin Tuna Grande Sportfishing H & M Landing San Diego CA Early Season Bluefin Tuna!

Cousin Jim takes you along for the day on the Grande Sportfishing for Bluefin Tuna. The Tuna have reached up close enough to have a good chance of catching a few of the wicked tuna in a single day trip. Follow along as the action happens with Capt. Tyler finding the fish.

Nice video Cousin Jim! I went out on the Legend last month on a 1.5 day. Out of H&M. It was my first tuna trip. It was rough. 23 anglers and only 4 bluefin and 3 yellowtail. I was blessed to catch my first bluefin! I can't wait to get back out there.

[@scottballinger40]

let the crew coach the anglers. Your obviously new to this kind of fishing so i think they know a little more then you. Understand some people dont enjoy being interviewed/ filmed by a stranger especially when trying to enjoy catching their fish.And didnt pay to have you asking questions or giving advice they didnt ask for.

[@cousinjim1]

thanks for the feed back tight lines

[@scottballinger40]

@cousinjim1 I wasn't trying to be a ass. 40 plus years on sportboats I've seen it all and wanted to make you aware of something you may not be aware of. Personally I let the utube guys know that I'm not interested in being a part of their content and would appreciate it if they would keep that in mind during the trip. love the enthusiasm but maybe try dialing it back a tad. Best of luck

[@cousinjim1]

@@scottballinger40 I never took it badly on every boat as the trip starts I hand out cards and some Cozzies and tell them if they don't want in the video I will edit them out this has always worked for me I am fishing a day and a half on the Ocean Odyssey tomorrow night hope we catch fish and you enjoy the video tight lines

[@scottballinger40]

@cousinjim1 Right on. Thanks for considering others when doing you vlog. Your doing it the right way. Much appreciated and good luck. Hope you slay'em tomorrow
