Fort Bragg Tuna Fishing (Albacore & Big Eye) Epic Day!!!
Рет қаралды 55,987
I am heading out of Fort Bragg, CA in search or warm water to locate some tuna. We have some really nice weather so I will be heading out 35-40 miles. This was one of my best days of fishing ever. A day to remember for sure. I hope you and enjoy the video.

Way to go Chris well done. Anyone who has fished for some time knows what its like to lose a big fish, heartbreak for sure. But what keeps you going back for more? That's right, the chance at another big fish.

What a bummer, thats always a heartbreaker no matter what. Regardless of loosing the fish yall killed it, love watching you guys fish up there while im down in SoCal. For that being your first fish that size you guys did really really well, I work on a boat in the summer and I can confidentially tell you that you guys did a much better job than the majority of people on fish that size for the first time. Lots to improve on but thats what keeps us going out, tight lines boys!!

Something new tuna anglers struggle with is the concept that you will tire these big fish out. You won't. They are learning, and recovering. You need to break their will early. You do that with more drag. After they are pinwheeling, use the boat's motion to winch them up...no more line should go out. Good luck on the next one...trust your gear, it can handle it.

I know how it feels as I am 0:2 this year and still trying to land the big one. Keep going at it. I wonder when they show up around Bodega Bay. Hopefully soon…. Thanks or the awesome video. As always, I learned a few things.

That was indeed a large bigeye.....I have caught several of those in my lifetime fishing out of San Diego. It's been years since I have caught one as they tend to be caught in Albacore years. Single 7691 Mustad is the hook of choice and a slightly larger feather for trolling. My track record is about 1 boated for every two hooked. Awesome experience, that you will never forget and you got it on video! Congrats

I wonder how old those little albies are? We haven’t seen them in socal in any numbers in a long time but when we had them here they were usually 25+lbs and ran with the bluefin.
@ChrisPfish2 9 ай бұрын
yeah they grow fast so maybe 2-3 years old. I know different parts of the world have different size albies, as the fish migrate and change locations as they grow. My understanding is fort bragg avg is around 15lb. They get to 70-80lb but biggest in bragg is 30lb. I think last year one 40lb was caught which was a big deal. One top loin on one of the small ones makes the perfect amount of poke for 2/3 people. Thanks for watching
