Absolutely love these videos on fishing in San Diego for tuna. I grew up in San Diego and I would do odd jobs to make the money to go fishing 2-3 times a year. Now, I live in the southeast and I’ve been looking at deep sea fishing charter of companies. Offshore fishing is not where the same quality of fish. I have yet to find any quality charters. Who would you recommend for similar type of fishing

I did lose one when my braid broke but I believe it must of had a nick in it but I was also at full strike on the initial run.

Nice job landing that fish, 60lb is petty light for night fishing. I run my Mak 16 100lb Braid, 100LB Mono Top with 200LB leader to Jig or Mak 20 130lb Braid, 100LB Mono Top with 200LB leader on 80-150 rated rods like a UC Viper or recently started using Daiwa Proteus Tuna Rods, and I can just crank them in, fight usually last about 15 min-20min tops. Heavy line, and higher rated rods make a big difference on night bite. During day i'll use 60lb or 80lb setup unless they are picky and drop to 40lb setup. Also noticed on your jig you only have assist hooks at the bottom, i always rig a single assist hook at the top connected to my leader so that if the tuna headshakes the jig won't cause the hook to come out. Never lost a Tuna setup this way.

A bit better Jim. Focus a little more on your breathing. Slow down body and mind. Your cow is coming. Notice when you drop to low your drag may seem looser. Then use your hand to lock the fish down and kill it quickly. Be ready every drop. Blessings.

Jim. Please learn to fish & put the rod under your left armpit. Broomstick style is too slow ; ( rookie style ). You hand off way too much. Change it so you just move over & under with ease. It’s work. Deckhand should not have your rod for more than 20 seconds max & back to you. Don’t try to tell experienced guys how to fish / not good.
