Huge Bluefin Tuna Foamers Everywhere!! WE GOT EM!!

so i said i would be in charge of getting the ice today from that what you will look at this bad baby post receipts to prove her 50 million only fans earnings me [Music] is [Music] so [Music] just arriving to l.a at 5 00 p.m traffic's not too bad we're only going eight miles an hour but gonna offload this ice have some dinner and get ready to fish tomorrow [Music] man that food was good now i'm making my way to this place in irvine to this guy's house that i met one time one of the nicest guys i've ever met i'm going on his boat tomorrow i'm gonna sleep there offload the ice and get ready to fish before i go to sleep just wanted to share this with you ah love cats man i'm going on a 23 foot parker today with a tuna tower there are a lot of dorado being caught here which is kind of unheard of so close to la but we're going tuna or bust [Applause] [Music] we got about 40 miles to run right now to the tuna grounds hopefully we can get get something when we get out there when we do get out there i'll show you exactly what we're using and after we catch one we'll sashimi it up and after blooping tuna toro [Music] so one thing we're looking for as we go out to the tuna grounds is the water temperature we want there to be a break in the temperature so where we're headed there's a sharp break from 69 degrees to 71 degrees and a lot of times apparently that's where a lot of the bait hang out which means that's where all the predator fish are going to be too it looks like tuna mark so we got two mad max you can set yours we're gonna be trolling two rods today and two mad max this purple with polka dot and then also a sardine color mad mac these are the 200 gram ones really popular this year it's in the bag like 100 yards 150. like 150 they got to be pretty far from the boat because you don't want like all the bubbles from the boat any interruption just tuning pretty line shy a little bit but i mean you see that giant thing wobbling through the water the way it does right now you'll see once you lock it it's gonna vibrate like the tip of the rod it's just gonna be shaking really fast so we got our marker so you got yours that's your rock you're real right you got to mark that like hundred hundred dollars at 150 uh we'll set that and then the other one so you see this red mark here on the braid that's a marker of 200 yards just so you know exactly how much line is out tips vibrating a little bit yeah that's how you know it's like shaking in the water properly so edwin was saying if one of them hooks up then we're gonna wait you know 30 seconds and hopefully get a double so if it bites just keep it in the rod holder yeah once you slow it down just want to keep it tight drags are all good cool oh tuna right here oh my god everywhere about to go off in the second i think look at this right on them right in them right in them right in them right in them trolling right through them right you guys see now oh my god right there bro you're right in them i don't know how that didn't go off right there damn that was crazy right at the spot too my buddy the way he was telling me he's been getting lucky he is after the troll after he passes a foamer yeah you see oh we got foamer far in the distance that direction oh my god look at that look at that oh my god look at that we're on baby okay i'm tired already oh man they're right behind us too it's right there it's coming in steady nice and steady good how far was this one now 200 yards oh he pulled a lot it's not really like fighting though you know he's not what if it's this kelp patty that i'm springing in is it only kelp oh he was fighting though i thought it was did you get the hell up maybe oh don't tell me i've been helped this whole time oh my god and then it rips at the very end like yeah all right i just use half my energy on that kelp i'm sorry last time i went out to the coronado islands i was standing on my seat kind of as a tuna tower edwin's got one made for his 23-foot parker having a tuna tower like this helped so much when you're looking you can see an extra half mile at least nothing to stick yet but i can see you super far now checking him out with his binoculars you see something straight ahead at two o'clock also kind of a team effort [Applause] [Music] just keep it kinda keep really non-stop if you guys you got it if it's like coming right as fast as you can he's off pretty light yeah i don't think there's anything real fast once we get this in i'm gonna have uh it's like you're running towards the boat or something just keep moving bro as fast as you can don't let it don't let it get any slip oh there he goes yeah he's fighting fish on baby finally all right let's do this again but no no kelp this time no kelp this time weird right it's coming in really easy isn't it fish oh it's a fish that's the fish i feel like take a small little run anybody ever lose a nut like this a net a nut a nut i almost did dude it was a nine-foot hammerhead shark i was like because it i had it under my leg my legs like this on the rail and it just took off and it just went right up my butt bro this thing's coming in so easy right now oh he just heard me he just heard me coming in though easy easy easy like every once in a while he'll fight definitely a fish though which way should i which way should we gaff him this way keep going he's coming up oh yeah okay now he's fighting there you go there we go oh we're at mono oh okay there good you go see you talked a little too soon buddy no see what this is again yeah i got him oh he's got some weight on him now i don't know why he came in so easy at first because he was like oh this guy's from san francisco let me say hi real quick and then i'll go and he's leaving there he goes now he knows it's life and death oh wait till he starts some of his dead circles he's going to come back up again and then you see the sun and just dip all right he's coming i got a leader oh he's he's a little heavy a little heavy yeah he's trying to swim away but i'm not gonna let him yeah this isn't no halibut huh no say no no salmon either no salmon can we back it up a little bit oh man usually the fight is at the beginning you know yeah no no not with these guys you still got a lot more fighting to do don't worry this is like two sandwiches in one huh it was like ten dude okay you ready he's gonna start doing big circles and remember what he said whenever he's out further that's when you want to try the game yep oh i see a color that's a decent one that's a nice one back this way you ready put your rod tip under watch your fingers then there you go so while you're trying trying to always keep the fish right like straight vertical yeah as much as you can all right here it comes oh just keep doing what you're doing all right here he comes ready oh that's a big boy matt that's a big boy swinging man that's a big boy match that's a big boy let's go look at that guy look at him you guys walk him to the back let's go oh look at that guy good work good work thank you bro that's a solid 80 pounder bro at least yeah he's a butterball maybe more nice oh yeah good good uh good idea trolling to where you did so right now we're trolling about 13 or 14 miles per hour that's the speed that we're trolling these mad max at one o'clock right over there right there right there [Music] i saw that you see that yeah good eye match all right slow it down slow it down bring this one in get this line in so alec can fight that fish so everyone was saying that he likes to fight the fish on the bow just because a lot of times the tuna they'll run into the motor or something so at the bow you got everything clear if he runs over there most likely he's not going to go straight up into the motor you got a little bit more a little bit more room do you want to be up here okay up here yeah no okay yeah maybe actually let me get the camera oh no oh my god he's scared out of me oh he scared me he ran at me for a second well that big one that i hooked last year it swam at me and i thought it was off so i put it in freespool to drop the jig back down it was on the whole time oh he's so deep yeah dude he's deep because he's not that far forward he's just deep yeah he's deep look at all the line on the spool that we need to gain back that's a good 200 yards i think so i'm screwed you wanted some torture i forgot what i was signing up for it's been a whole year so maybe like three or four years ago alec bought a t-shirt or a hoodie or something from me and then he accidentally ordered two and he messaged me i think that was the first time that we started talking he's just been a subscriber for a long time and then uh maybe about a month ago i came down here to fish for tuna with andrew and daniel made that video didn't go as planned but alec helped me out a ton edwin helped me out a ton too and uh now i'm about to have a baby next week so we said if there's one week that i'm free to make the trip down here we'll do it and we're doing it and here we are in southern california catching bluefin tuna yup oh there's i got color it's nice down here yeah we got colors baby oh man that's a nice one i'm gonna step back once we get it up okay all right choke up on it a little bit all right one two three oh man that's a big tuna boys he's done this one is done oh yeah yeah bro killed it man all right four more to go let's get back to work yeah we can do it we could probably do it too this is our second fish today what do you think that is like this one's at least a hundred hundred it's fat it's gotta be a hundred pounds so uh yeah alec and edwin of course like most people should clean it as quick as you can get it on ice and alex caught many bluefin so he's gonna show us how he does it so the way i like to clean these guys is the gills right here i'd like to cut around there's like this weird membrane i got a serrated knife cut around the gills this way and then we're gonna just saw these gills out this side should be just about free i always gill and gut my fish especially tuna that way i can pack the insides with ice you just get fresher meat there's half the gills there we go he's got some weird stuff like parasites on his gills now we're gonna go from his butt instead of cutting around it go up a little bit about halfway yeah oh yeah this one's warm to this oh they're all sure they all are fighting for them then we're just gonna clean out the insides comes right out just like that everything comes out oh my god look how full his stomach is i'm gonna do this over the side if you want to check it out we were kind of having a problem getting them to bite when they're just foaming on top and i think it's because they're eating the tiniest bait and all our stuff that we're throwing at him is big so let's see what's in here oh man just cut it straight down oh that's gross yeah cut it straight down small small bit look at how much though he's been munching now i think i got a i got to think of a rig to make them bite something small like that and try to pack its insides with ice keep them as fresh as possible on this side yeah i can see why for 400 pounds of ice we got 400 pounds of ice and it was a good thing that we did too you wanna grab the tail i'll grab the head yeah i'll try to pull this way maybe you can there we go that wasn't too bad [Music] so every time we uh every time we catch the fish like this we try to clean up as quick as possible because with that blood soaking in the sun it dries real fast it's hard to clean so i want to try to keep it clean right after you know yeah where did that whole thing start from anyways someone told me that or i saw some comment it was like they used to import bananas and then the rats would be in the banana crates and they would chew it through the boat man what a beast [Music] it is time to test toro we're so tired it's already ten o'clock we've been up since four and chances thank you thank you bro flavor is great texture is good there's a lit it's a little more fibrous than i was expecting i usually like just the top point part of it level less body parts but i think everybody is more people definitely sharing this with a lot more friends bringing home sarah you did a great job today yeah yeah sure man all right
