Ive seen few tuna catches an they never showed the process of bleeding it out. Thanks for showing us this process. Respect to all the fishermen out there
That hook is pretty unique to OBX. I've never seen it deployed but have been told you swim the fish for over 1/2 hr to lower its temperature, A tuna fights for its life and really heats up expending so much energy!
Amazing catch! Here in Italy the blue fin is almost extinct due to heavy fishing. Going out with your boat and fighting the animal is the most honest and respectful way to catch the tuna. Thank you for sharing this video with the rest of the world!
No lessons get learnt though, people just see the money unfortunately!
Do you get sharks trailing from the blood?
Yes
huge congratulations, many of us fish for a lifetime and never see a fish anywhere near that size. well done Joe.
thats the biggest one ill ever see! thank you very much sir, and thanks for watching!
And the reason for that is too great of demand on the resource.
Unfortunately everything i money driven.
Being a fisherman from Minnesota this is the coolest thing. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Joe. I would like to congratulate you for that amazing catch. I am tuna fishing and I have never caught anything over 250 pounds. ( I am in Europe and we don’t have fish like that 😤)
I would like to share few tips with you on how you can make that fish to be even better quality. I am not trying to be smart here but just wanted to shate my knowledge.
Cooling down fish was done spot on. Before bleeding proces I would suggest that you brain spike fish. That will keep heart pumping and it will not cause any extra stress.
After bleeding I suggest that you open upper part of tuna head and that you insert a wire through spinal cord. That action would increase quality of your tuna a lot.
If possible I suggest that you gut the fish and put in the ice slurry as fast as possible.
Sorry for such a long message but I wanted to share this with you.
Looking forward for a new video
Very good job Joe.
That tuna was just unreal. I can not even wrap my head around something that big.
Keep them coming.
yes sir i will! thanks for watching as always noel!
10' is super-sized for today. Back early in the countries history they harpooned bluefin which were 16'..
What was a amazing to me was seeing the Bleeding out via "swimming'" the fish. I thought that was truly clever as-well thoughtful of the fish. When we Cowboy the Cattle drives... we never yell and scream like you see them do on the TV or in films. We walk them slowly--- at their pace so that we don't get them stressed out, which ruins the meat. There's proven methods for success in all things in life. IF ONLY we'd LISTEN and LEARN!!! *Cheers mates!* Sir Nicholas In Seattle
Humility is a rare trait these days. Thank you for setting a good example. Awesome video!
He handled it professionally and humanly.
not the most humain@@JumboCanvas
@@JumboCanvas...
Humidity is very common.
You must interact with shit people to have that opinion.
@@sproket168 First of all you spelled humility wrong. Second of all you are probably 9 years old. And third of all humility is a virtue and when you do look at RUclips, there are a lot of shit people.
Wow! What an interesting video! The whole time you were swimming the fish I was waiting for a shark to come up alongside and take chunks out of it. 😬
Two of your best videos Joe
That majestic monster of a tuna deserved every minute of two videos.
What a catch great job!!
i really appreciate that! thank you john that means a lot. im glad you enjoyed the videos
I kept thinking “When’s the Shark gonna take a bite” when he was being bled out
I have the same thought. Sharks getting on it. Old man in the sea.
I wrote something along the same lines. In Australia, fishing shows like Reef Addicts and Back 2 Basics. Sharks eat the fish while being reeled in.
"
Just found your channel with this video. This whole process is pretty slick. Especially the research part. The fact that your catch is going to go to feed a great white is just some kind of childhood dream! The ear bone thing, I feel like I knew at one point, but to see where it comes from is quite interesting. I appreciate your video!
Two questions pls: 1) did anyone establish how old the fish was? & 2) how much is a fish like that worth, landed at the dock?
Considering what they pay at those docks im assuming 10k.
10k for all the amount off effort and expenses they put into that fish is hard to believe they can survive on that. I'm sure it's a beautiful experience but a very difficult life.
You Are so blessed to land and harvest this tuna Joe!!
very!!
Well I'm glad a big old makco didn't come up on you. Have you ever had that problem before?? I've heard of it once but that's it
Joe, congratulations on your PB Bluefin Tuna. These two videos, from fighting this monster then landing it to securing to the boat where it was swum, cooled, and bled, to the prep work and processing, along with research data obtained, at dock side were splendid and awesome. Please in your next video finish the details of your monster tuna. I, we would love to know, after cooling in ice bath, what grade they gave the meat, did the fat content improve, purchase price per pound quoted, and where was the destination of this monster.
it was slightly better than we thought but still very low. fish had good color though, probably bc we swam it and bled it for so long. i guess haha sounds good at least
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. Did I miss the payout amount for the fish?
Great video. Had no idea that you have to swim them to cool them down before bleeding them. Great content. Excited to watch the up coming videos
yes sir, there is an extensive process to make sure the fish is best quality as possible. thanks for watching!!
Aloha. Ahi means fire. Not only will they smoke your reel, but also themselves.
That was a nice tuna
When you bleed a large fish like that don't sharks in the area think, dinner is served!
Major respect for the cool down and blead out ! I never seen them bleed the fish on wicked tuna, I always bleed any fish in that family of fish, Also gutting and packing the cavity with ice really helps with rapid cool down .
Why "respect for cool down and bleed out" ?
19:54 I wouldn't be so happy about old mate smoking next to my fresh fish lol
Exactly 😁
Why not? Is it gonna blow up?😂
@@JedemPoKucama lol I dunno just seems gross. I guess he's not gonna eat it himself so who gives a crap
@@opium32
When I was a kid, the pizza man always had a smoke dangling. I saw ash fall off the end end and he’d mix it right in the the sauce. He was famous for having the best pizza in Mt Vernon NY. The ashes don’t bother me at all. I figured it’s sterilized with fire.
Now, when people sweat into my food, I can’t handle that.
Why, do you think the tuna will suffer from the secondhand smoke ?
Still gotta add the 20 pounds it lost for what was in its belly that came out. The fish had eaten those shad so it was part of that fish. I’ll say it was 865 and before being bled that fish was close to 900. They lose about 4% when they’re removed from the water as well.
Congrats on the fish! What a giant! I saw a bluefin for the first time last year during the LGCBC in Grand Isle. I believe it was Blueprint Sportfishing that weighed it right before it was our turn at the scales. Pictures and video really do no justice how big those fish are.
My apologies Joe, I have a bunch going on. First off, HOLY SH!T!!!! that's a monster of a Fish and CONGRATULATIONS!!!! to the whole BOAT!!! Second, now I have to find a moment to go and watch the last video!! You always have tushie kicking content but this, This is just, and must be for you, surreal, unreal, for real, Okuma Reels,...Hell, ALL the Real/Reels!!! Once again Congratulations to you Sir!!! Just seeing that fish has made my day, and possibly week, and I would wager it'll be very close to the top of mind for you, for quite a while!!! Freakin' Outstanding Fish/Job, Joe!!! - Dave (of the Great White North)
Fantastic! I've been waiting for more on this fish.
Thanks for bringing us along 🤘
and thank you for watching!
nice catch. I am up in coastal maine.. you show why the frigid waters is good for a tuna catch. All the heat. Amazing animal. they can fly to inches from the surface 30+ mph sideways.. and not even leave a ripple...imagine 1000 pounds with that much ability. Very strong.
it would be wild to see a fish that big move that fast
Joe congrats on your huge fish! Great video too, very informative. Only thing lacking was the price per lb (your title does say "selling". Would be neat to compare an actual transaction vs the prices they show on Wicked Tuna
I was looking for that too.
ya i just wanted to see how much he got paid...
yeah I agree too
Selling means selling, and this was misleading. it's what drew me to the page.
Same, pretty lame that he left that out. great video besides
Next I would love to see the economics behind the process. From casting off to the diner table.
I honestly love these educational videos! This truly was a once ina life time catch. Thanks for sharing it with us
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beast! Congrats on having the skill and determination to take advantage of this great opportunity! A fish story for lifetime, except it's true and documented!
So how much money do you make off a fish that size, after you pay your crew and fuel and everything?
119' and 848, unbelievable! Congrats bud & good luck in your next gig, sounds amazing! Happy for you!
So how much money do you get for a fish like that ?
I was waiting for that & we didn’t get to hear about that
That's why i started watching the video thank you for saving my time
"OKUMA"
spent a year at a USAF Recreation Site named OKUMA on Okinawa Japan
Very cool that the marina was willing to help
Epic catch! It's surprising to me that the bleeding process doesn't attract sharks. 🤙🏾
no not really. there is a very very small chance a great white finds it. thats only happened once in the past 10-12 years here
im sure it does but the fish and boat are so big it would take a ballsy shark to go up and try it
the shark would be attracted to where the blood is in the water, but the boat is moving at a fair clip, so the fish isn't there any more, and sharks don't understand the geometry required to go ahead of the fish's blood trail.
I love that just like here in Alaska everyone has the same Victorinox Knives! My favorite knife brand for cleaning large and small fish. I have also fished in Hawaii and mostly Victorinox there too!! Must be the worldwide brand! Darn good knives! Bod Bless!
Why won't you disclose the price you were paid for this tuna? Multiple comments have asked you but you won't tell anybody. How much was paid for it?
I would assume it's none of your business. Just because you want to know doesn't mean you get to know.
Always better to be lucky than to be good. Truer words have never been spoken.
you got that right!
So wondering how much did he get per pound? Did I miss it? Nice catch btw 🤘🏻🍻
Between $4-$7 per lbs.
Absolutely no chance he only made $3k for that fish
Incredible experience, the black and white pick is of a friend of mine’s father Ken Fraser. Funny what one sees online.
I had no idea they could survive that long! Insane
Isn't it just. Can you imagine such a death for yourself just because you will be premium eating for the elite?
@@jedfra9172actually, interestingly, I can 😶
I am amazed that you guys do not use small 12v wenches..i use them to haul 10' logs onto my pull behind trailer...it is simple to hook up and makes life MUCH easier for hauling heavy loads onto trailers and I am certain boats like yours.....
Can you update us with a sale price?
Incredible catch, congrats!
The dock guys need to get some of those Japanese carving knives and cleavers though. Makes processing huge tuna go like buddah.
I’m always so worried, bleeding out in the water that a shark is going to come up and take a bite out of it.
Like in the Michener story “ The old man and the sea”
I would be too. I've seen videos of huge great whites come right up and bite the tuna off the line before the crew can land it.
It definitely happens.
I couldn’t imagine hooking up with that monster its crazy the power they have I love marine biology and fish and everything wildlife
So how much do the get for it ($$$$)
The climax for British tuna fishing was reached in 1933 with a fish that is still the UK record weighing 851lbs taken off Whitby in Yorkshire, by Mitchell-Henry. That story surprised me!
What kind of money did it bring? That’s what everyone wants to know.
I was just going to comment Those Exact Words. How much did you get for it? Or will you get in trouble from the RUclips or the irs?
Joe I believe you’ll see one bigger in the future as long as you keep fishing that fishery. I think with the way they’re regulating that fishery there will be fish in the future and you’re just that guy that catches fish. It’s easy to see that’s your passion and you’ll succeed and excel at it your whole life. Do you ever feel like you’re going to work? I didn’t when I got to fish for a living.
if the fishing is awful it can sometimes feel like work but not really. i hope i get to see a bigger one, but cant ask for anything bigger than that haha
Congrats bro! Glad you brought us along with you! Love the videos, keep up the hard work!
thank you! thank you so much for watching! yes sir i will
Joe, I'm booked with you on the Seacario at the end of April, just prior to you moving to Fourchon. My crew is so ready to fish with You!! Can't wait to meet you.
Can't wait!
Guess he doesn't want to comment on the money part
$40 cad per pound so maybe 20k USD
Every fish is a different price per pound that is why they took samples.
Great content. 10 times better than any fishing shows on tv to see what the real process is
Waste of a vid not saying how much $
I understand not wanting to state the $ amount. I do not like people knowing about my money, whatsoever! I will not let me family, other than my wife know what I make!
I'd guess 6.50 a pound. This isn't the fake TV prices you see on WT.
Dave,
I wish prices were that good.
You’re probably looking at half that per pound, or less.
Awesome fish!
Yeah I know was just being polite! The WT prices are for make believe. @@johnchase3920
@@denniscale1538it’s not really a secret who cares what you make it’s irrelevant I will tell anyone who ask.
I wish there was a way to share photos on youtube somehow. in the early 1970's my father went offshore fishing in Prince Edward Island along with his father and uncle. on that day, he fought a 985 lb bluefin for almost 7 hours before finally reeling it in. at the time it was the 3rd largest tunafish ever caught on record. he was given official signed documentation of the catch, and i believe it was sold to a japanese canning company for something like $1,000 USD. the thing looked like it was born during the prehistoric era
So how much did you "sell" it for?
Heyr for this info as well!
Happy for you son, been watching you since Bluegabe days 🍻👏🏻👍🏻🎣
Awesome! Thank you!
I have a lot of respect for the ethos of the video. It's important that people get to see the process involved. I know you want to make as much money as possible and thats fair enough. I think people need to decide if they want to eat an animal that experiences all that. Thanks.
My career in sport fishing has been almost exclusively out of Key West, so I will never see a tuna of this size. I love that you made a fishing video and cut out the fishing part. Most anglers never see the fish house or the work that goes in behind the scenes.
Pretty work!
Lotta crab fishermen closing up shop down there I hear
Wow all my q&a have been answered! Thanks Joe VT. That was totally awesome an congrats. Most Americans can't handle the truth an you showed up for a great video for us . Your a dang rockstar in my book . Don't get the big head an good luck on the 120 . It's gonna happen for ya with alot of country fat in it. Respect from Readyville Tn. Probably gonna watch again lol I loved that content.
i appreciate that! thank you for watching!
I don’t like seeing animals like that. But I do like sushi and it’s the way of life. Kudos to you guys on the catch! Respect!
A great sized fish. In other programmes I've seen, the fish has been iced but never bled and the fish weighed once the head, tail and guts have been removed, as opposed to being weighed whole.
The guy in the green sweat-shirt needs a sharper knife.
How much did the tuna earn in $/LB - not best price I suspect as it was skinny.?
Saw a short on a similar sized tuna core wieght 522 pounds. Assuming similar market prices, Capitain made 2000K on fish.
was expecting a shark anytime to come take a bite out of him with him bleeding like that 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations!!! That is a magnificent fish! Thanks for sharing and explaining the details of the process and anatomy too. 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Happy for ya. You seem like a grinder, taking jobs of all types. Making a true name for yourself way beyond a RUclips “fisherman”. Good work !
Excellent video and a beautiful fish. All people should see all the steps involved in getting the food that they eat instead of pretending that the grocery stores and restaurants operate on magic.
Shows nothing like this on tuna wars shows, this is bang on
Very nice!
You should have used a heavier glove to reel it in!
Very informative, very useful as here on the South Coast UK 🇬🇧 seeing more tuna each year just waiting now for more licences to be issued
You absolutely are one one my favorite creator to watch! Love your genuine and sincere attitude!!! "Oh My God!"
Luck favors the prepared!
Ridiculous how long and lean it is! Looking forward to the cook!
thanks!!
Geez Joe thats a fish of a lifetime!!! For some reason you have that effect on fish. If theres a fishy dude award on youtube , JoeVT would win hands down!!!!
jon the goat gets the fishy dude award, i just tag along and film him!
Congratulations Joe🎉 can you even imagine what the fish would look like if it was another 650 lb bigger like the record😮
it would look like a i giant beach ball with fins im sure
i saw bigger on TV on Wicked Tuna tv show in the tv show at the end when they sell the fish usually they say how much $ per Lb.
Thanks for sharing this, as I always wondered how the fish was prepared after the catch. So informative and educational at the same time
Congratulations bro that was awesome!!💪🏾💯🔥
We should know more about our food from beginning, to the store shelves and in between!
When he said in a hour. I was like DAMN
I absolutely love sushi and this has given me tremendous appreciation for the process. Thank you.
heyyooooo! I'm from Beaufort, NC. Go head over to Backstreet and have a few beers ;) killer video, man
that's a life changing fish folks. HUGE money. Like 7 figures big if it's graded as it appears
I’m a 6th generation commercial fisherman from Anna Maria island Florida. I am proud to say that no matter where the fish house is located- it’s always the same mild mannered people who do the work.
That was AMAZING A MAZING BROOO!!! O M G! SO MUCH MEAT LOL! WOW MAN, so happy for you! And yes, you've being chosen, blessed, I feel you were able to feed some! Thank you for this amazing video!
Question: The cuttings are optional or they force fishers to their cuttings? Did they keep the tail? Why you didn't sale the head? In the tail & head gone 208, maybe 207.5 lbs (-the steak).
NOW, if you haven't, find the way to ship Japan! So you sale direct!
Not a fisherman and would never eat sushi but it is interesting to see and hear about the process.
Great video. That fish just ;paid for a new house. LOL
Great video, but there are no jets stationed at Camp Lejeune. Those were from MCAS Cherry Point.
Never understood why people get bent out of shape with this. It's life and in a way its Beautiful.
Also, I think it connects me more with the food understanding how it all goes down...
Awesome video. Thank you for showing the entire process
This is so much more informative than the fraud shows that are deadliest catch or tuna wars 👍
Bleeding and swimming that fish till one of those rare monster white sharks shows up. Some years back a 20+ ft White was about a mile off the coast by Folly Beach in Charleston. It seems the Carolinas dont get many White sharks, but when we do, theyre really big.
One of those show up, and it would wreck your payday. 😢 Beautiful fish BTW!
Great Bluefin Tuna congratulations Joe, explain please what kind of Okuma reel can drag this monster and what type of line and leader where you using?
Here in Europe i catch maximum up to 100 LB bluefin Tunas but nobody buys them... so we eat them with family
okuma makaira 80w does the trip. we use 130lb main line
Aloha Joey. People need to realize where their food comes from, unless they’re harvesting themselves. I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that you soloed that one.
Nice video , sad to see a big beautiful fish lose its life but thats part of hunting and fishing . If there were no emotions involved it would be no big deal. Intresting the work and care it takes to deliver a good product. Again nice video.
Great video!! Congratulations!! What you made or didn’t make isn’t our business!! Keep it up
Thank you! Will do!
@17:15 why is there lines in the Sky , A Chemical Gray color covering the Sun ? CHEM TRAILS ?
Military jets
31:58 Good God, a LOT OF CLICHES, never ending, and actually exhausting. Well Congrats!
You would think they would have a swivel gantry for lifting them out of the water or a curved drop board that pivots off the side of the boat that can lift and roll the fish over the side of the boat 🤔
Good job makes our California fish small lol. I want to go over there one day and get some Good job 🤙
