Welcome back. I'm Tuna Fish Tim.
We are a hundred miles off shore and we have yellowfin tuna busting all around
the boat. Whales, dolphins, birds, everything. You're riding shotgun. Let's go.
Nope. I think it just crashed me. Got it. I'm on. Yeah.
Uh, I can't stop you. Nice job.
Should we mark the spot? Yeah, I get a gaff. They're right here.
I just got blown up on. Hit it again. Come on.
Oh my God. Look to the left. Grab, grab something. Throw it.
I don't think he knew he's hooked yet. There's some good size fish. Oh,
yeah. Let's go.
I don't think he knows he's hooked, dude.
We're going to be tripled up in a second. Come on.
Oh ----. No, he's there.
Where are we gaffing this thing? The gaffs are right here. I think I'm close.
Oh, I just don't think he's, no, he's hooked yet.
He's not really doing nothing crazy.
You need to go to the back. He's right here.
Yeah. He's right here. You can, you can stick them.
You got a shot at him right here. He's making little circles.
Yeah. Oh, he's right here. That's a stud. Yeah. It's a stud.
I'm going to come on your right. Yep.
We're going to do a circle.
A couple more circles. Yeah. First tune on a popper.
First cast. This ain't one of your custom rods, you know.
I took a 150. Come on, come on. A couple inches.
Still jumping out here. Good. Straight out.
All right.
I have a line pusher if, uh, if you want to grab it.
Come on. Stay glued. Stay glued. You're right here. That's a stud dude.
That is a stud.
Quick, quick pump. You're doing good. Yeah.
Grab that line pusher.
Oh, he's right here.
Good. Good.
All right. Slide to your left. Oh, it's right in him.
There it is. There it is. Come on. Come on.
Oh, he blew up on it. Yep. Come on. Come on.
All right.
That's the cast right there. That's the cast.
Oh, Oh, he just hit me. Come on.
Oh, there he is.
I think I pulled it.
Oh, it's so tight. Oh,
there he is.
Holy smokes. Um, that's a proper one.
Oh my goodness.
No, I'm going to need a rod, but in a minute.
Holy smokes. Holy smokes.
Is that a big eye? Uh, look how much line I got left.
I'll trust you. All right.
Can someone grab the rod butt out of the, um,
yeah, that's what I meant.
He's gone. **** me. And I was a good one. Ooh,
I think I was going to get one. Oh, there he is. There he is.
Set that hook really hard. Keep setting it until he makes his run.
He's in. He's in. He's all alone for the ride.
Yeah, baby. Holy hell.
Let's try and get him in the boat quick. All right. You got it.
He's coming in nice now.
I got him. There's some tailbeats.
Look at that gaff shot. Twice in a row. Good job, man.
It's all I can do. Good job. Twice. Just a solid gaff shot.
I'm taking another run. No, you got him good, man. Holy smokes.
All right, drag him in the back and pull out.
I had one. I just got, Oh, there he is. Yep. I did. I did.
Keep going. Keep setting it. Keep setting it until he makes the run.
They're still blowing up behind the boat.
Holy ----. Come on. Come on. Come on. He's right there.
Come on. Let's go.
Oh, you're good. You're good. He's running. You guys are good. Go ahead.
You guys are good. No, you're good. Believe me. You're good.
He's he's out away from the boat now. He's got a while. He ain't coming up.
Cast.
Yup.
Come on. Tripled up on hammer. Yellow fins. You can't beat this.
You can't beat this.
Another one. Tom.
Are you ready to be gas? No. You're going to break my ******* rod.
What do you need? Uh, you're under me. You're under me.
What do you need Tom? We're wrapped up. There you go. There you go. There you go.
I got him. I got him. I got him. Uh,
take mine. Take mine. I got yours. Get a good grip on it. Don't lose it.
Again. Got it. One more.
You got, you got my rod. Yeah, I got it.
Got it.
See where we're at. I think we made it worse.
Somebody just got cut off. I lost mine.
Are we killing it on this side? So I'll move the cooler. I'm moving the cooler.
****. How did I break off? You just got chafed. Yeah.
If anyone was going to get broken off, I'd rather it be me. Honestly,
just made all of that popper. I think it was doing work.
Yeah, I got you. Where do you want me? Wherever. If you can get me that cushion,
that would really help.
Holy smokes. No wonder we couldn't get the things in. Look at the size of him. Not well.
Oh, don't let that go. Don't let it go. Lift it straight up. Lift it straight up.
Watch out. Popper on the loose.
Holy smokes. Can you get that thing in the back of the boat, please?
Take a picture of me like this, dude. All right, here he is.
Keep going right. I can't see him.
All right, now left. All right, actually, right, right. Sorry.
You only get one chance at this. I'm going to clean him in.
Faster? Nope, stay right there.
He's not in yet. Please tell me you have that on video.
Tell me your camera's rolling. Oh, it's rolling. Holy ****. What just happened?
The other one's bigger, Tom. Yeah, but I'm on a nine foot rod. It's all about the fight and the
dog, right? Oh, wow. That's a nice one. Oh, wow. Look at that. Could you hook it any better?
Good. Yeah.
