- I was lucky to hook and land 2 nice Bluefin Tuna in Monterey Bay, CA. This was Saturday, October 17th, 2015. I was using slow trolled live mackerel. The lucky fishing rod is an Ugly Stick Custom, Medium-Heavy 30-60 lb line rated. My son won this rod at the 2014 Coastside Fishing Club Halibut Derby Raffle. I thought it was too stout for any fishing I'd see in Monterey Bay.. until these Bluefin Tuna showed up. So far that lucky rod had hooked and landed 5 Bluefin Tuna since the end of September. It has a Shimano TLD20 reel spooled with 40 lb Suffix Mono and a 40 lb Florocarbon Leader.

A significant accomplishment, particularly solo! Nice going!
Hell Yeah! I saw your picture on the Bayside Marine website a few weeks back. Nice to put a video to it! all your videos are great!
Such a good fishing experience joe. 6 years ago.
Good job man ha! I was feeling for you,had me all anxious just watching😂
Get another one ha!🎣👍😎
Nice man, that was the birthday went out down here in san diego looking for yellowfin and wahoo the weather and wind was crap should of been up there… Nice catches nice work gaffing your own fish never easy
Awesome catch!!! Very nice video
I am happy for you!!!
That was a awesome video my man ....
Love your video, I caught a nice 45lber 2 days before on the 15th. Maybe 12 miles out.
Very nice job catching the Bluefin solo. Why did you not bleed the fish? There are places just behind the pectoral fin that can be punctured and the wash down hose used to deliver sea water to the gills while the fish bleeds out.
Great work....solo tuna on the troll👍🏽👍🏽
Great job! Awesome day.
Good job Kevin!
Nice limit Kevin! It's great to see someone has it dialed in out there. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Kevin...looks like tou need a fishing buddy. I am avalible....lol
Stellar job! I hope they show up again this year.
WOW!! I went tuna fishing back a few years back.. but we had to go way off the coast to get to them... how far out did you go?
Hey Ray. Last year was an anomaly. Bluefin tuna rarely visit our waters like they did. The Bluefin were less than 20nm out of Santa Cruz. In this video, I think I picked up these fish about 15 nm out of Santa Cruz.. roughly 10 nm off of Davenport.
2101Striper thats what I thought. We got tuna a while back when the water got warm... But we had to go way out to get to them. They werent huge but still a blast to catch. My first one was hooked in the tail... Lol
Wow, what an awesome video Kevin, I stayed hooked all the way to the end, the way you manage it all is pretty awesome.
How heavy did you have your drag set, how deep were you trolling? Amazing fish man !
+John ReynoldsThanks John. I had about 10 perhaps 12 lbs of drag set. That had to be my best fishing day ever.
awesome catch. you ever charter folks to fish? I'd be interested
Thanks. I don't charter.. but sometimes I think about it. Perhaps someday when/if I have a larger boat.
Thanks for sharing. Do you mind sharing how many feet of line you’re giving between the downrigger clip and your bait? Are tuna shy to downrigger wires and its vibrations?
I was running the live Mack’s 200 ft behind the Scotty clips. I don’t know if it helped with shy fish or not, but it sure seemed to work. Earlier that year we hooked our first ever bft on the deep diver that was furthest from the boat, roughly 200 ft back, so we assumed the fish were boat shy.
@@2101Striper Thanks for the reply, and congrats! Hope to get after them this year in the bay
@@samm2032 When does Salmon open up at Bodega? I'm guessing you've not been fishing near SLO this year given the pandemic? How's the 2301 running?
Love watching all your videos! Hope the Blue Fin come back again! Tried for WSB this year yet?
Thank you. I haven't been out much this year with the lack of local salmon. Yes, those Bluefin were something I'll never forget. I think the last time they were in our waters was 20 years ago in the 90's. I haven't sunk any time into WSB yet. With all the Halibut reports I've been seeing, I may have to get out there and drag some gear. I'll be after Salmon later this month up at Bodega Bay. There's good salmon fishing there right now.. I just hope the fish are still around when I get up there.

Cool!
Good job on the fish !
* if U need Crew let me know.
I have 15 yrs Fishing experience.
+ i've been boating a few times.
How far out
Nice! about how far offshore?
+joapps
Only 12-15 nm out of Santa Cruz
NICE TUNA
I'll buy the gas and bait if u got room.? nice fishin
What is nm lol ?
In this context, nm is for nautical mile. 1 nm is equivalent to 1.15 statute miles. There are a number of ways it is abbreviated. Your question had me look at Wikipedia wondering if I'd crossed some units. Here's what I found: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_mile
Don’t worry about it bro your not coming out here
Total CHAOS!!!....proves the time tested adage...."Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut!!!"
Nice fish and going solo hats off one question are you rich ? Your boats awesome I’m rich it’s all good work hard play hard
gj man gj
nice catch. should have turned off the clicker after hook up
Thanks. I prefer the leave the clicker on if I have a video camera on. I like to hear drag pay out on videos, else there's no indication that the fish is taking line on the video.
Poppers? Live Bait?
slow trolled live mackerel
Thanks, just got skunked after 12 hours out in San Diego. Still after my first tuna!
Come to Monterey when it’s on you won’t be skunked bluefin tuna in ? Not yet
...IT COULD BE A SHARK...!
Tuna make there why out there
nor cal guys love the sound of a clicker.
Goofy
ENDANGERED SPECIES look, I am a noble bluefin tuna myself and nowadays it's hard to find friends because it's been 2 years since I've seen a fellow bluefin, the best explanation is that there are only about 25,000 of us left and this does not help
Please do your research. These are a completely different species. Pacific Bluefin are closely managed and not endangered. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluefin_tuna
If someone says to you "have some giant bluefin, or southern bluefin, punch them in the mouth for me.
Is southern giant bluefin okay?
Wallace you are so misinformed.
