Monster Yellowfin Tuna Caught Solo in Center Console
I take my 2005 23 Contender Tournament about 45 miles offshore in search of the elusive solo tuna. I start off trolling up some small school bluefin tuna. These fish were keyed in on a very small slick and a small lump. After catching them on the troll I decide to start chunking/chumming with butterfish and sardines. We get a few more bluefin tuna and then fight a monster yellowfin tuna for over an hour
Truly an accomplishment on 40 pound leader all by myself

No reason to even remove them from the water if you can easily get the hook out. Tuna vids in next week or so!! Chrissy g...

Filmed 5/29/2024 I decide to take a last minute trip to some of our local wrecks in search of the tasty Black Sea Bass. The fishing was a bit off and certainly more of a grind than what I would expect for this time of year At one point I had a very large boat that seemed to be sending off seismic blasting/sonic blasting not too far from me. You can hear it in the video as it is unmistakable abo...

    Chris outstanding video! Watched it twice. Had to watch it on the big tube. Also sent it to my friend I tuna fish with, loads of knowledge in it. You’re an inspiration to the sport of tuna fishing and fishing in a hole. My wife will watch it also, she’s with the grand kids now. The fishing gods are sure with you, best fishing video I have seen yet. I’m getting ready to make a tuna video, the darn shark ate 2/3 rds of my tuna as I was fighting my tuna. Done a lot of tuna fishing ,never seen that happen. Thanks for your hard work . Bob Looked like another Paul rod👍

    Awesome video! Wish I could share photos here! We were just in Panama and got 25 Yellowfin over 60lbs each in one day between 4 of us on my buddy’s 75ft Viking. Two of them were right at 200lbs and several 150’s all hand fed on 60-80lb test I threw up twice it was soooo hot soooo humid and my buddy’s one being the boat owner are absolute animals! It was pure chaos & insanity!

    Brother, i always enjoy seeing you do what you do best, thank you! As a beginner Tuna fisherman, i really take a lot of inspiration away from your solo efforts. Let me bless you in return? Iron sharpens iron amen? - Proverbs 27:17, “Iron sharpens iron,” is almost universally seen as positive: wise people should be questioning, encouraging, coaching, and challenging each other. With all do love and respect... “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain. - Exodus 20:7 "Jesus Christ" used as a curse word is something Hollywood accomplished as "normal" in our culture, leading millions to demean the name of God on a regular basis. Ironically you apologized for cursing at a fish, and in a way raising the level of respect of a fish above our holy God. You are an alpha, a true leader, blessed and highly favored in this space. As such your influence counts. May God continue keep you safe and bless you and your loved ones always! 👍😇🙏
