Crushed it brotha. LMAO, watching you use a toothpick as a gaf.

Congrats on getting that first blackfin tuna!
Small piece of advice I was given by a fellow kayaker which makes the gaff shot easier.
Once you get the tuna to the surface, if you pedal so that you have forward movement, the tuna will come along the side of your kayak and stay there.
It will not continue to do circles and will make the gaff a lot easier.
You can choose where you want to gaff it instead of trying to time the gaff shot.
Great first tuna, and it was good to see and talk to you on the water.
I hooked up with lucky #7 yesterday.

Great fight and patience Matt congrats what is the name of your waders

[@mattinayak]

Thanks for watching! I'm wearing simms Freestone waders and they have worked well for me over the past couple years. 👌

[@calebduke8948]

How far off the shore did you have to go to get to that 50-65ft depth? I’ve never gone out that deep because getting through the breakers always make me nervous so I’ve just stayed inshore but what you just did looks fun as hell

[@mattinayak]

We were only about a mile off the beach. Not too far for such a great shot at these fish! 🤙🤙

[@donfaust4546]

I see a city in the background - where were you fishing?

[@mattinayak]

I was in Florida's panhandle area. 💪

[@mattinayak]
