The most tuna chicks/storm petrols I have ever seen!!! Insane chunking for yellowfin tuna
I remember those store bought metal gaffs you're using here. I think they were made by aftco or something? Been a while. I just remember how cheaply made they were, but mainly how the whole gaff pole would get bent, and those useless black foam rubber grips would slip and slide up the gaff pole and right when you gaff a big fish, like a 100+ lb ahi, and slip right off the end of the gaff , coming out of your hand and end up in the water, then your messed up!! I never bought another one!!! I usually didn't buy gaffs, unless they were made by someone who did it well. I just started making all my own gaffs with wood handles and chose different size gaff hooks. Galvanized were strong, but they rust, but stainless gaff hooks would bend open unles it was really strong thick guage. The grips I made by wrapping braided handline wrapped tightly and they never got loose!!! I put gaffs through so much stress, because I was a full time commercial fisherman in Hawaii where i was born and raised and lived on the big island and we have some of the best big ahi fishing, and a lot of gorilla ahi, in the 200-300 lb size. Yeah, when I first saw those gaffs I thought they looked pretty nice, but I bent open the gaff head on my first 5 day fishing trip and not long afterwards those grips just slipped and came off. I threw it away, and never used one again! I told a lot of sport fisherman how terrible and weak they were and that they would end up losing fish, which they did!!! Loved my homemade custom gaffs!! Especially the ones I made for smaller fish like mahi mahi and ono. I used a really small stainless gaff head and they were so good, and very accurate!!
Looks like you guys had fun though!
Aloha from beautiful Hawaii
We have made a few gaffs but mostly for mahi. Maybe we'll try one for the tuna!! Man I can't thank you enough for watching all the way from Hawaii!!!! I have so much fun Yellowfin tuna fishing on our channel!!
I feel like the big mean fish know how and when to put the heat on us. I remember Josh and Zac getting fish to the boat in like 2 minutes I hook up and it’s the meanest nastiest fight going. They know lol 😂. Glad you had the rod on that “so you want to fight a tuna”
Josh always has em to the boat in 2 minutes!! Rest up brother! Almost time!
Awesome goodluck this season 🤟 see you out there.
Thanks so much for watching!! See you out there!
wow you are a good captain. thanks for the video
Thank you so much!!!

Yeah man!! Right around the corner!!!
you look like you all had a blast, and good weather condition's, not being thrown of your feet, which drains you of energy.
THe weather was just unreal this trip!! It makes for a much more enjoyable experience. Thanks so much for watching!
one of the guys from the gemini sent some video to our chat of that day with them hand feeding them around the boat and yellows coming up 5 feet from the boat just eating for an hour. had to have been the best day of yellowfin fishing last year and i missed it because of work!

@@reaperfishingnj8623 love watching your videos. I fish out cape May. Making the run down for drum this year?
@@OutaMyTreeFishing thanks so much for watching! Depends on the timing of my days off with moon, weather, tides, etc. Seems also like last year wasn't very good down there from what I hear. I didn't get a chance to make it down last year. But....if the bite is on I absolutely love getting down there. What a fun fishery!!!
@@reaperfishingnj8623 I went out 3 times. First 2-2, second skunk, third 4-4 all 50-50 pounds. All between 8-10pm
Love it
Great trip Capt! Which rod, reels and main line pound test were you using? Thank you!
This should cover it!

Thank you sir!
Chris, what underwater lights do you have on your ocean? I love the green.
Lumitec Seablaze X2. I use the Lumitec Poco digital control/module and using my phone I can change the color to red, green, blue, white, or alternating. So far so good!
@@reaperfishingnj8623
Thanks Chris! I’ll certainly look into them been hearing a lot of failure stories with these nights so glad to hear that you like what you have so far again, thanks buddy you’re the best!
screaming reel drag is the best sound
Nothing better
Awesome vid Chris keep up the good work you’ll be at 100m in no time
I hope so!!
Man you must have a horseshoe somewhere. I don't put as many days on the water as you, but I've seen a bunch of tuna's chomped by sharks!! Tight lines
Ha. I made a deal with the devil!!!
Super excited angler: See you gotta hook the fish and then chase them to stay away from the sharks
Capt Chris: No we are staying here. Where the fish are.
Ha. Thanks so much for watching!!
We were in on that bite. Sweet.
Glad you got on it! FLat calm too!!!
@reaperfishingnj8623 nothing better than HAND FEEDING yft right off the back.
🍻
How do you decide to go back up and drift vs anchor or just keep drifting. Follow the sign? Stay over a lump?
these fish were fairly mobile but in a small area if that makes sense. you really wanted to stay in tight with the masses of chick birds. So in this case and beautiful conditions you'll wanna drift every single time.
How do you like the speed masters? Was thinking of getting some
So far so good!!!
REAPER!!!
I'm curious was it your Shamano 2 speed on your shimano rod that broke? I have two of the same setups when I was tightened the reel to the rod. I heard a noise like a cracking on both setups.
Yes it was. I have since paired that with a Magictails Chunking rod. And I like that combo much better!
@@reaperfishingnj8623 thank you
Did you go with the 15 to 30 or the 20 to 40 rod?
now that you've had a few seasons running the fathom 40nld2's do you think going with 25's would be fine?
I would for sure go with the 40s!!!! We have been close to getting spooled on a few larger YF and BF. Confident with the 25s you would have been spooled. Probably negligible weight difference and the price change is worth it
@@reaperfishingnj8623 Awesome! thanks!
Hey Capt when was this trip?
September 2023
Which rod do you have paired with the black and red Penn fathom ?
that is a custom rod Zac built.
That the princess captain?
negative. this was near the Cole
@@reaperfishingnj8623 oh cool!
Besar sekali ikan nya
Exactly!
How can I get intouch to inquire about a charter?
sorry we do not charter
Come up to Lavallette. , jump on my boat and let’s go get em
