Hogy Sand Eel Jigs: bit.ly/3PjPhxt
In this video, Capt. Mike Hogan is joined by renowned angler Eric Harrison as they head offshore targeting bluefin tuna. Hogy Sandeel jigs were the key to success, as they acted as a perfect imitation of the sand eels these tuna were gorging on.

I'm as impressed by the casual solo gaff job as anything else in the video. Not your first rodeo, I take it.

I love that you stuck that fish by yourself. I fish out of NJ in a small skiff and I'm always trying to get out to get pelagics. I've started doing allot more jigging as of late. The spots I'm usually fishing are usually really crowded so the fish get put down quickly and jigging has saved the day. I started using soft plastics after watching your videos with very good success. This past summer I had 2 bluefin and a really nice wahoo jigging

Great video, we went out east earlier this week and had a blast jigging. We hooked up using the twitchy technique, slow pitch, and speed jigging. Ultimately we went 0-4 due to pulled hooks and breakoffs, but we had a great time getting beat up by a giant and got on a decent cod bite on the way in. The 6oz sand eel jig is the perfect lure for east of Chatham. It's excellent for both tuna and groundfish. I just ordered 6 more.

Capt Mike, is there a preferred method to breaking off a bigger fish? Is it as easy as cutting your hollowcore braid before it spools the reel? And then resplice a new section of hollowcore and new loop back at “The Barn”. Wondering if you’ve ever had a giant hit a directional bird bar and spool the Avet 6.3 LX (I have 4 of them with 100lb JB hollowcore, loop to loop, plus Hogy directional bird bars and 2 of 4 Hogy hybrid rods, getting ready for Crab Ledge 2024!). Any info or experience you can share would be great. Thanks for all the content!

Cupping the spool while pointing the rod directly at the fish is the "ideal" method for purposely breaking off a fish. As far as size caliber of fish, it is most definitely possible for a larger fish to hit your spread. That being said, having an idea of the size caliber of fish around at a given time while help you better prepare your gear, approach, etc.

Great content! Nice detail in the gear overview. I’ve learned a ton from you in the last 2 seasons. Hogy paddle tail was my first saltwater lure; I need to get on the jigs now. Thanks for all the high quality content. Question: how far off-shore are you?

Thank you! Glad you enjoy! We were around 20-25 miles offshore.

Nice fishing…! I will choose conventional gear over spinning any and every time …. No matter how big your spinner is….. it will never have the power of a conventional reel… especially a 2 speed lever drag ….! The fact that a spinning reel usually has a bale….. what the hell do you need a bale for….?????????????? Baleless spinners have been around for a long time…. Just not my perception of a fishing reel….. I’ve seen some spinners as big as a 130 lb. class big game reel and will not even come close to what a conventional reel can do…. All spinners have only 1 speed …. Not ideal for tuna and you can’t spool any spinner w/ 600 yards of 50 lb. mono….. do the math….😊

Thank you! We love both spinning and conventional reels for tuna. But when it comes to fighting a larger size class of fish, the conventional reel really shines.
