North Pacific Ocean

Took my buddy Josh out on his first BFT trip. We had to wait in departure as the boat stayed out later on the trip before, trying to get the Anglers on more tuna. Can't hate on that. We walked around the landings to kill time, in fisherman's landing, I saw a 420g HD West Coast Jiggerz in Silver and Black. I told Josh that the science says color doesn't matter when you fish deep and at night, color attracts the angler, but I admitted that jig was attracting me. LMAO. I told Josh, I have plenty of jigs, let's just head back. Boat arrived roughly at 10am. 7 BFT for 27 Anglers. Tough trip. Guys coming off said strong current and no one under 400g were getting bit because you scoped out fast. I ran to Fisherman's landing to grab that sexy 420g Black and Silver HD jig. Glad I did. We arrived in the area around 930pm. Everyone was getting jiggy with it (Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na). Not until about 1030pm then the bites came. Each drift there was about 4 hook ups. 40 to 80 range bluefin. I hooked up and brought it my tuna in about 5 to 6 minutes. On my second hook up, I called for Josh, passed him the rod and he brought in his first tuna. I didn't record much of his fight because I was trying to hook and pass to another friend Hector. But I did get some footage of Josh eating that heart. Next day we fished for Rock fish and caught some reds, white and Salmon grouper. 2nd night was shorter as we had to head back in. Captain Steve asked us to stay a little later as well to try and get more fish aboard. We ended the trip with 19 bluefin for 26 Anglers. https://youtu.be/jaGoRJOngSc?si=uebAyrv-EvZwFVwv

Last Tuna trip for this year. Many smaller size BFT 40-80 Ib class size. Seem like those big one were hiding from us. Tight lines. Tuna sashimi for dinner tonight.

Toro sashimi! Yum 😋!

Congratulations to 余头、勇哥、丁總and others for landing their giant BFT. Back to back on the same boat. A lot of freezer fillers. Tight lines.
