What a great trip! Capt Steve with the save at 10:17 was epic! Thanks for always putting out top notch content and it was a pleasure throwing iron along side you guys!
I still can’t get over that save! And hell yeah it was good meeting you and sharing the rail with you Danny! If you have an Instagram, hmu next time you go out. Hopefully we can do this again before the season is over
Awesome fishing video. This fishing season is going to be good. My 11 year old daughter painted some of my lures MINT colored...I'm hoping they will work this year.
Thanks brotha! I really appreciate that. It’s definitely days like this that I’m really happy I film these trips. Being able to relive this forever is pretty awesome
Thanks man and Same! Always a blast fishing with Steve. He knows the islands and yellowtail better than anyone. Glad we were able to get on them one last time before the season comes to an end.
Amazing video!!! Those fish were chewing the paint off the boat! Solid session!! Never fished the mission belle but I gotta try it…what jig were you using? Thanks for sharing
Thanks man! Happy to share the experience. I got 5 on the JRI stinger, 1 on a steel bait 6”, and once the wind picked up I started casting a salas 7x to be able to fish in the chop and connected with another 2 more
@@Dirty.Hookers thanks for the info! That’s a trip that most yellowtail chasers like myself dream of having…..thanks for sharing! Now time to book a trip!
@@jxsanc1238 for yellowtail, Bag limit is 5 per person in Mexican waters with no size limit. US waters is 5 per person if any under 24” or 10 per person if all are over 24” I believe.
I personally really like it! It loads up nicely, really light in hand, and has a decent amount of back bone for a 10’ rod. I was feeling out the 909HJ last time I was at phenix, and I think that might feel better. It’s still got a lot of tip and should load up really easily. I haven’t personally casted the 909 yet though
It was pretty epic out there for sure! And hell yeah man. I got acouple trips booked with Offswitch charters throughout the season. If you have Instagram, take a look at what he has available
Personally I think a size 400 should be the minimal size for surface irons. You’ll be casting between 60-80 yards on average and with a 300 size that’ll be half the spool by the time the jig hits the water
It was pretty epic out there! I was personally using a Phenix Axis 1009H-J. My dad was using a Seeker pinhead Ulua 93H I’m not quite sure what everyone else was using.
Bag limit is 5 per person in Mexican waters with no size limit. US waters is 5 per person if all any under 24” or 10 per person if all are over 24” I believe.
Been using this one all season so far, but I goes there really hasn’t been much surface iron use this year lol. Axis 1009H-J Hopefully I can put together a new arsenal video in the near future
@@GettingBentWithBo it was not. It was an open party trip. I personally don’t know what’s going on with Danny unfortunately. I can’t get a hold of him, but I do hope all is well.
We only bag them when the crew is working hard and things are chaotic. As soon as they get a chance, they pull them from the bags, tag your number and put it in the RSW
I'm glad to hear that you put them in RSW .This is a great fishery we have ,we need to protect our resource and keep the meat in top quality if possible.
@@ronfernandez4746 definitely gotta do our best to keep the meat in best quality possible if we’re gonna kill them. Otherwise, catch and release. But yea most boats during a wide open bite, have you bag your fish since all the crew would be busy helping with tangles, gaffing, retying, chumming, and much more. Then they’ll come back to it as soon as they have a chance, tag and stick right into the RSW
@@Dirty.Hookers Yes read your other reply stating that and I get it.I would not have made that comment if I haven't seen fish rotting on decks before.

Set up of choice was a Phenix 1009HJ paired with a Shimano Torium 16HG if I remember correctly. We were all fishing surface irons this day. Can’t remember which jig I was using, but I think I got them on the JRI Stinger and Tady 45

Love the Mission Belle. I limited out on bluefin earlier this month. Capt Steve and Karen taught me A LOT.
Such a rad crew! They’ve thought me so much on the water. All of my knowledge to this day is owed to fishing the Belle
What a freaking EPIC trip! Gives me the "Yellowtail rips rod out of hand" vibes
Lol it was definitely just as good as that day
Absolutely crushed it out there, Ray. These are days my dreams are made of.
Shoutout to the gaff after the pop-off by Steve! 🏆
Thanks Jerry! It was pretty epic out there.
And right, that was such a good save!

Awesome vid and epic trip !!!
Thank you, very much appreciated!
Awesome fishing video. This fishing season is going to be good. My 11 year old daughter painted some of my lures MINT colored...I'm hoping they will work this year.
I hope this season pops off! Can’t wait for some spring time fishing to heat up.
Would be awesome to get bit on some jigs she painted up!
Holy crap ray this was probably one of my favorite videos.🤟🏽
Thanks brotha! I really appreciate that.
It’s definitely days like this that I’m really happy I film these trips. Being able to relive this forever is pretty awesome
Sooo freaking sick 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 that was definitely a kill mission trip for you guys👍
It was definitely a meat mission! I was happy with my first one on the jig, then it was all day of slinging jigs, couldn’t be happier!
It was nice meeting you and your pops that day. Such an epic day of fishing 🎣
Good meeting you too brotha! Definitely a epic day sharing the rail. Hopefully we can get back out there before the season is over
Nice video. I was at the Coronados the week before you and had similar results. I love fishing with Steve.
Thanks man and Same! Always a blast fishing with Steve. He knows the islands and yellowtail better than anyone. Glad we were able to get on them one last time before the season comes to an end.
I truly believe that getting hit on a surface iron is better than any drug on this planet! Especially yellowtail!!!
Byyyyyytrssssss! Thanks for the sick content. Have a great day!
Sooo bit!!! Thank you I really appreciate that! You have a good day as well
Nothing better then the surface iron bite
Nothing better!

Hey Ray how do you like the Phenix HAX 1009HJ? Thinking of the HAX 909HJ.
I personally really like it! It loads up nicely, really light in hand, and has a decent amount of back bone for a 10’ rod.
I was feeling out the 909HJ last time I was at phenix, and I think that might feel better. It’s still got a lot of tip and should load up really easily. I haven’t personally casted the 909 yet though
This brought a similar feeling to me that an intense combat movie scene would 😂
Hahaha just alittle something to get the blood pumping
Great vid bro. I do miss those days.
Thanks man. Such fun fishing
What model Phenix axis was that with the Shimano torium? What size reel? Thanks bud🍻
Axis 1009H-J. It’s the 10’ 30-60lb stick.
Paired with a torium 16
Hell yeah Ray! I was waiting for this one 🤩 I wanna get on a yt bite with ya soon
It was pretty epic out there for sure! And hell yeah man. I got acouple trips booked with Offswitch charters throughout the season. If you have Instagram, take a look at what he has available
what did you spool your torium 16 with ?
I run 65 lb max cuatro and leave enough room to get about 80-100 yard top shot of 40 lb mono
where’s my mans 100k subs at. Hi ray remember me from fred hall show it’s david
What’s up David, definitely remember you!
Wish I was at the point and could make this full time, but idk if that’ll ever happen unfortunately
@@Dirty.Hookers sure it’s gonna happen Some day just keep the grind
@@fedsggwp grind never stops. Thanks for being a continued supporter man👊
Sick video man🔥🎣
Also, I gotta quick question.
Do you think I could get away with fishing a surface iron on an okuma Komodo 364p?
Personally I think a size 400 should be the minimal size for surface irons. You’ll be casting between 60-80 yards on average and with a 300 size that’ll be half the spool by the time the jig hits the water
that looks epic! What rod's were you/your buddies using?
It was pretty epic out there! I was personally using a Phenix Axis 1009H-J.
My dad was using a Seeker pinhead Ulua 93H
I’m not quite sure what everyone else was using.
are your jig fish are on steel_baits?
Got 1 on a steel bait this trip. Got too windy by the time I tied it on and I had to take it off to cast something a little heavier through the wind
What clamp are you using on the torium?
Steel baits clamp
Hey friend, is there a size limit on yellowtail?. And what's the bag limit?
Bag limit is 5 per person in Mexican waters with no size limit.
US waters is 5 per person if all any under 24” or 10 per person if all are over 24” I believe.
That nostril closeup caught me off guard, sprayed a really nice I.P.A. all over my laptop! Thanks bruh🍻Another great video tho! 👍🏻🇺🇸
😂. Hahaha too funny. Thanks for the kind words! Sorry about your laptop lol. Tight lines 🍻
Sick vid Ray! Is that a new surface iron setup? If so you gotta show us it in the next video!
Been using this one all season so far, but I goes there really hasn’t been much surface iron use this year lol.
Axis 1009H-J
Hopefully I can put together a new arsenal video in the near future
@@Dirty.Hookers Haha yeah it's been all about the bluefin for the most part this year. Cool, looking forward to it👍
@@bradenmatthews9436 it has! Lol it was such a relief to target and tug on something other than bluefin
@@Dirty.Hookers Yeah dude the bluefin are awesome but those 30+ minute fights are not fun at all

Thanks brother! Really appreciate that
Damn Ray! You got on a banger!
It was definitely a pretty epic day out there for sure!
@@Dirty.Hookers Was that an Offswitch charter? What happened to Danny? You heard?
@@GettingBentWithBo it was not. It was an open party trip. I personally don’t know what’s going on with Danny unfortunately. I can’t get a hold of him, but I do hope all is well.

@@GettingBentWithBo literally booked last second sorry man.
Thanks needed something good to watch
Thank you I appreciate that
Damn I want to get back into jig slinging for them yellowtails again.
I needed this so bad! Tuna fishing all year has been awesome, but nothing beets watching a yellowtail come up and slurp your jig!
That was insane
Easily the best day of surface iron yellowtail fishing I’ve ever had!
Good video! Missionbelle slays the Yt
Captain Steve really knows yellowtail! Love fishing the Belle
What jig is it you using?
Got 5 on the JRI stinger
1 on the steel bait
Then the wind picked up and I had to start fishing the salas 7x and landed 2 more
Going out next week just before the full moon so let’s hope I get that many bites
Could be in your favor! Good luck out there man!
Epic video
You got to send me a invite to these trips in its out of LB or somewhere. Man oh man
@@gillzonreelz6549 thank you! Was definitely one of my favorite days on the water. And I think all of my yellowtail videos have been out of San Diego
Great catch, it would be nice to see the fish in brine and not out on the deck getting hot in bags though.
