Nice video. You should try a long range trip out san deigo for 150lbs plus yellowfin tuna in November December January. A 200lb plus yellowfin tuna could take over 2 hours to land.
No wonder the worlds fish are being decimated.. look at the damage one boat did. Down here in New Zealand everyone’s catching on and starting to practice catch and release style fishing. Take one home for a feed!! Fish for tomorrow!!
Lol, come fishing and see the fish population for yourself. I'm from Texas our department of Fish and game regulate our fisheries very well. TEXAS eats beef population does not eat a lot of fish. I invite you to Texas to go fishing, conservation groups all across the state watch our wildlife and fisheries it's a resource we value.
Thr damage is from commercial factory boats that can haul hundreds of tons of fish per haul, cutting, skinning, fileting, them all in th4 factory boat. When they dock, fork lifts just remove stacks of fish filets all frozen and ready for restaurants. One trip can haul a thousand tons. Those mile wide sein ourse nets catch everything in luding dolphins and sea turtles. All killed. Long lines 3-5 mules long baited with thousands of hooks catch everything indiscriminately. Those factory ships kill more in one trio than 100 sports fishing boats would do in a year.
We kept the 2 per person that we were allowed along with some blacken. We had A LOT of happy friends neighbors and coworkers lol. We also had enough to keep in the deep freezer
SwingerVic we use avet reels but the boat had gear too. 60lb rod with 60lb test on an avet hx or HXW raptor. The blue reel Megan uses is a three speed avet hx raptor
Not one person has a kidney belt and a thigh plate to lower the butt and reel straps to help hold thr rod? Those 50-70 pound yellow fin tun are such a blast.
Matt, we used Penn Special Senators 6’6” 80-100lb with roller guides (that we honestly picked up at a yard sale) in tandem with an Avet HX Raptor and a Avet LX Raptor. Do invest in some flying fish lures. They were hitting them big time on the top water when we were there in November.
If you can find them again your end, CalStar and BlackSteel are usually go to makes for long range boats out of San Diego going south to west coast of Baja. I have several CalStars and they are tops. Black Steels rods are super, too. We use Shimano 50 wides thogh I personally use. PENN International 70 wide, Avets, some Penn and Daiwas.
Depends on the time of year and what boat you go on. Dolphin docks has all of their prices on their website. The one we did was in November and we targeted larger tunas and only 18 people were fishing.
Michael Fletcher Michael Fletcher dolphin docks offers several trips that vary in price based on the time of year. 50 hour in November was about 900 per person. We were on the Dolphin Express.
Roberto Tamez all of the info is on their site: dolphindocks.com prices and trips change throughout the year. November was good for us as the 100 pound tuna were at the rig.
I did a bunch of helium leak testing on this platform like 15 or 20 years ago when working for the Weatherford guys out of Lafayette and Texas.
My son and I did this trip 3 years ago in November, EVERYONE limited out on Tuna, ScatCat air conditioned party boat out of Rockport.

I’d love that. I grew up in Southern California and a YFT trip from San Diego is a bucket list adventure for me!
Great video. Thanks for the info.
Looks like a lot of fun! Roughly how much is a trip like that?

@@ms.annthrope415 100% recreational fishing boats make up less than 1% of the yearly fish hauls!!!
Did you keep all the tuna meat? I'm just thinking how and the world I would keep all that meat? Any buyers there from local restaurants etc.?
We kept the 2 per person that we were allowed along with some blacken. We had A LOT of happy friends neighbors and coworkers lol. We also had enough to keep in the deep freezer
did you have your own fishing gear ...what rod/reel/lure/bait.....
SwingerVic we use avet reels but the boat had gear too. 60lb rod with 60lb test on an avet hx or HXW raptor. The blue reel Megan uses is a three speed avet hx raptor
CRUSHED EM 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Cool video. I miss fishing the rigs. Does this trip do any bottom fishing during the day or do they just troll for tuna during that time?
Too deep to bottom fish there. Just trolling during the day. Most of the fishing is done at night.
Not one person has a kidney belt and a thigh plate to lower the butt and reel straps to help hold thr rod? Those 50-70 pound yellow fin tun are such a blast.
awesome video, looks like it was tons of fun lol
It was truly amazing out there.
looks like that guy gut-gaffed that tuna, I am not sure I want to be on the second floor trying to catch a tuna,lol.
We’re going mid October was wondering where did you get the antler tuna shirt design ?
Mark, I made that a few years back. In my other videos I have an updated version and have them in large in a few colors if you want a couple.
i am going on this trip in october i am curious what rods you used
