1) you need to fight Giants with a lot more drag, you need to put real heat on these big boys. 2) Your moving the boat and chasing way too much. I.e. your not tiring him out because you don't have enough pressure. chase when you need to, not every second of the fight. use the boat to change angles not just a slay ride.
That’s what happens when you use spinning rods out there. We used to go out there with flats of butter fish with pen 50s 80s catch a few at a time. Never had to fight them that long 🎣
just got back from our Helen H 2 day LTD Capt. special. another great trip in the books. conditions were hard but still managed to get 6 keepers. 3 6lb range 2 18.5 inch and my Runner up almost pool 8.1lb fish. pool winner was 10.3, lost by 2lbs. i live in Cape May NJ and im super jealous of their fluke fishery lol. we go once a year! first day was haddock and pollack and did well there too. my brother had 8 fluke keepers easy. it was a grind for me though haha. i love that we achor up at sea overnight
That's fantastic bud! I'm glad you had a great time. The Helen H is a great boat and you can't beat Nantucket Shoals for fluke. I swear they taste better out there too. Thanks a lot for the comment!
Thanks for giving us a taste of what it takes to land one of these treasured tunas. I gotta say , you guys gave it your all. I’ve never done it before. Maybe one day. . I could only imagine how heartbreaking it must be to fight it for so long for it to come off. You guys took it too well, IMO. 😂 but the way, those guys were D!cks! A lot of A-holes on the water these days. We almost got taken out just drifting for fluke the other day. Absolutely uncalled for. Thx for the vid. 🤙🏼
Haha yeah they let me subscribe again. It's not how you get them it's where they end up and Joey's is on a dinner plate. While the other is waiting to be filmed on wicked tuna 😂. Great video buddy
Y'all are too greedy with the fishing rod. The person reeling in a fish should pass off the rod before they get tired. That way there's always adequate pressure on the fish. Getting a drink in the middle of reeling in a fish would never happen on my boat. I hate RUclips and all of its censorship!
Dude, how the hell did you lose that fish after all that PS you have way too many things on that boat very uncomfortable looking great though thank you for the video
I'm pretty sure it was fouled hooked. They way it felt when it pulled off makes me think it was foul hooked near the pectoral fin. Thanks a lot for watching.
A few years back I crossed a small rogue pack of yellow. One smoked a brand new Atom I threw. MAN WHAT A BATTLE! He was beside the boat twice we had ta chase make 30#. Mike touched the leader we dont have a gaff he pulled out so meat! But I call it caught! Would have been my first. Ya never forget your first!! 🇺🇸❤️🩹😝😝❤️🩹🙏
Wow some one gonna get hurt ,im not trying to be a jerk ,everyone should have a job when hooked up . Landing fish will be safer and not a shit show it takes time but your program needs some work stay safe.

Great video with good friends! But god , I hate outboards and tuna fishing
Nothing like chaos, when every fisherman voices an opinion - ha, "you gotta keep pressure on him" = no kidding. This crew is hilarious!
Breath joey breath you poor bastard .. 😂 great video guys
Love the tuna trips. Great channel.
Thanks a lot Tom! We have a great time together. I really appreciate you watching! Thanks again
The boats an obstacle course! Iv never seen so much jumping and frolicking around when fighting a pelagic fish!
That's because you weren't there James!
“i want a belt!” “you want a skirt?” 😭🤣🤣

and keep the boat in gear when your trolling and hook up
You guys are the biggest googans on RUclips.
Thanks for watching!

Those are words of wisdom, Greg. I said the same thing yesterday. Once they get past a certain size, spinning gear is out classed.
Hook set was fine. The hook worked itself out.
Gotta keep pressure on it...."I was!!!" great video....we can feel the emotion through the screen.
@reelsweetfishing Glad you enjoyed it bud! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hahahaha holy shit this is the funniest tuna crew 😂😂😂😂

@@nextdriftfishing they deff taste better up their than in cape may lol. crazy
@@nextdriftfishing prepared the same way as a cape may fluke a shoals fluke is better
@@nextdriftfishing is it bait abundance that makes them tastier?
That was awesome. Lots of heart pounding action.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for watching. Please share it with your friends!
A lot of professors on that boat. Let the guy fight the fish!!
Too many cooks spoil the meal.

Looks like pandemonium to me , Gotta use live squid. The diamonds love it
You can say that again! Thanks for watching!
lol I’m looking for that boat !!
@@charliespruyt5815 he's an amazing fisherman. Everyone should fish right near him.
Hmm. I'm sensing something...lol
😉
Never mind fishing, I just want to watch Light as a Feather from really up close, all day long, and learn from their vast amount of knowledge. 😆
Which rod and reel did you use
The reel was a Stella 20,000 size and the rod I believe was a Grappler
19:13, why was that tied off to the top of the jig and not directly to the O'ring??????
Rookie/Green Horn fisherman.....
When was the last time either of you hooked a tuna?
@@jonathanbudlong4624 Lol
How many miles out where you
Habs. About as close as it gets
How bout a skirt 🤣
Joey 1 rest of crew zero
@Joe-hr1mb I thought I banned you from the channel?! 🤣 Nice motor... I mean fish Joey
Haha yeah they let me subscribe again. It's not how you get them it's where they end up and Joey's is on a dinner plate. While the other is waiting to be filmed on wicked tuna 😂. Great video buddy
Next time you need to walk it the other way, away from the engines
Viewers think he left it in the rod holder too long.
Outgunned
500-600 would have stripped you
