Bad ass fish bro. Im from ensenada. These past months have been very good for us. 20+ bluefin for us Avr, 80+ lbs. 145 lbs P.B for me. I highly recommend big treble hook in de back. Boosts up your hookup/land rate. Works yust fine. We and all our local pangas do the same.
Well done; very encouraging and instructive video AND allot fun to watch. Makes you want to be on the water. So, I live in Baja Sur, East Cape and have run Nomad lures including the Madmac. However, honestly, I put allot of hours trolling with Nomad without much results, including trolling with the DTX. I have a wire rig and troll slower around 8 to 10 knots since I also run birds in the spread. The bird bars catch about everything - including marlin. But, I have just run the Nomads, Rapala among other lures. On the Madmac I have caught dorado. Not in great numbers. We do better with other lures. So, you have me seriously thinking that I will eliminate the wire (which Nomad videos recommend) and instead tie the lure directly to the line, remove the bird (3) bar spread (9" squid) and troll 10+ knots, run them about 200 yds back (which I haven't tried) and then see what happens. I hope I am surprised. Rapala's and Zuri catch more than Nomad by far. We do have yellowtail action now and at times yellowfin. No bluefin. Yes, marlin are almost always around . Best regards. Tight lines.
Run the drag pressure so that it is just enough to stop the line coming off the spool.while trolling Once you get hit wait 5 -8 seconds and then slowly push up to strike drag. You will reduce the amount of fish you miss.
WEL WEL. WHAT A GREATS INTER COMUNICATION THE WAY AND WORDS YOU USE AND CORDINATE WITH WHEN FILMING WAS TREMENDOUS AND THE WAY TO HANDLE AND AN EXAMPLE FOR MANY. YOU SHOW MANY ITS ABOUTH HOW TO DO THINGS TO GET THE BEAT OUT OF IT IN THAT SIMPLE SMAL BOAT.. WHAY NUMBER DO YOUR BOAT HAVE...?
I like your journey and your humble attitude ...so fun to watch Can you make a video about how did you troll the madmacs ...how to drop them ..how far ... which lines to use ...whats the speed ..thnx for this video ❤
Really appreciate the kind words! That is definitely something we can do. We love doing the “how too” videos if people find value in them. Thank you for the feedback!
Thanks man! We typically run the madmacs on 130 or 150lb. Wind on leader crimped directly to the madmac. We try to avoid knots and extra hardware so the lures run true. That’s just what has worked best for us. Thanks for watching!
Man I wish I saw your video before I went out this past weekend. I was trolling way to slow. Thanks for the tips on terminal tackle or lack there of for the high speed troll. About how much line was let out on those? Nice video, thanks.
I also noticed the ponga guys seem to keep it in gear the whole fight to keep the fish on a constant plane so they don’t have a chance to dive and circle. Going out tomorrow to give it a try.
Keep your boat moving
I’ve seen you guys at the fuel dock recently buying up all the ice….. now I see why! I was like damn those guys are confident
It seems like you can never have enough ice! You will have to say Hi next time!

WHAY NUMBER DO YOUR BOAT HAVE...?
I really appreciate that. Filming on a small boat is not easy by any means. We have a 23 foot Parker pilothouse. Thank you for watching!
Treble hook on the back really helps.
It sure does. We run them all with the treble now. This was last year right when the craze started. We had to learn as when went! Thanks for watching

@@leverupsportfishing thanks alot
Can you tell me exactly what rods/ reels(size), line, etc. that you were using? Thanks
Cool vid! 🐟 What size test line and knot do you have on lure
Thanks man! We typically run the madmacs on 130 or 150lb. Wind on leader crimped directly to the madmac. We try to avoid knots and extra hardware so the lures run true. That’s just what has worked best for us. Thanks for watching!
Thank you 🤙🏼
How fast were u guys trolling?
12-16 mph has seemed to work best for us. Thanks for watching!
What rod is that?
Hey there. We use seeker 3x and 4x rods when we fish the larger bluefin. Thanks for watching!
get those fish on ice!!!
They were gilled, gutted, and iced down promptly. Sometimes the bite window is so short we’re doing everything at once! Thanks for watching man!
Nice video's brogher ,hey what leader lb. test did you tie madmacs to? Mono or fluorocarbon? Million likes
Hey man! We typically run the Mac’s on 130 braid to a 130 or 150 flouro wind on. Crimp the lure straight to the wind on. Appreciate the support!
I am starting to troll MadMacs I put it back 100-115 yards is that far enough???
We typically go around 200 yards. Grab a marker and put a mark on the line. Good luck!
Don’t be afraid to drive the boat on the fish. Dead boating them is wild lol😅

What treble and size are those?
We run a 5/0 or 6/0. I prefer Owner but they were nearly impossible to find this summer. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Must be out west
They think those are huge😂
If u can hold a tuna it's not big but nice fish boys
