Monster Yellowfin Tuna!!

In this episode of BlacktipH, I go fishing in Louisiana for giant Yellowfin Tuna! The first task that we had to complete was to catch bait for tuna fishing. On our way to the oil rigs, we found a massive school of threadfin herring. We caught a bunch of herring and filled our live wells. We proceeded to drive the Tideline boat further offshore and decided to stop at a buoy. I saw a cobia swimming near the buoy and quickly pitched a bait. The cobia didn't hesitate and inhaled the herring. After a short fight, blake gaffed the 25-30lb cobia. Our first fix was in the box. After catching several more fish, we continued our journey offshore to the tuna grounds. On the way to the oil rig that holds tuna, Casey noticed a floating tree. There were thousands of fish swimming underneath the tree and also two big mahi (dolphin fish). I caught one of the dolphin fish; the other one got away. We noticed some marks on the sonar beneath the tree. I dropped down a vertical jig and hooked a wahoo. After several screaming runs, I managed to capture the wahoo. At this point, I had caught three of the best-eating fish in the world: wahoo, cobia, and dorado. We continued our adventure to the tuna oil rig. Once we got to the oil platform, the sonar was marking a lot of fish! Within a few hours, one of the reels started screaming! It was a monster tuna! After a 45-minute fight, I caught the biggest tuna of my life, a 121lb yellowfin tuna.

“Catching bait”

*Holds up a giant fish bigger than anything ive ever caught*

[weichqw]

It’s actually quite impressive a fishing channel now has 2 mil subs

[mmatthews]

The best part of Josh's (Blacktip) videos are hearing the excitement in his voice. I love how much he loves to fish

[verniksprime]

I didn’t know he has sea sickness, crazy how that doesn’t stop him from going out to sea to fish. Pretty inspirational!

[M__X]

Man...one of my top 5 favorites from you. Variety of species + a true battle that pushed you to the physical limit! Wow 💯

[petermendoza]

Bruh imagine being a 🐟 and hear Josh say, " yup we'll keep him "?

🤞😱💀🤐🤷🤣

[strangerthings]

“Catching bait” proceeds to catch a 20 pounder

[sethh]

Josh: big boi, how you doin!?
Tuna: ah, not much just got my ass whooped in a tug of war, got stabbed and can’t breath, how’s ur day been going?

[petyrkowalski]

10:19 "How you doing?" Well I've been hooked, gaffed and about to be killed. Hows your day goin dude?

[jasonboy]

I have yet to see a clickbait video from you, never change... You're awesome.

[carsonridd]

Josh: Good boy! How you doin?
Tuna: looks at the camera sadly

[benvasilinda]

When are u going to take Jeremy Wade out fishing and show him how it’s done Florida style? St. George Island still has the Tarpon Run coming through, good times but they will be gone soon.

[proaudiohd]

Part of the excitement of fishing is the anticipation of seeing what's on the line. Thank you for NOT showing us the tuna underwater before it gets to the boat. Other shows give it away by showing the tuna down 100 feet, tired and spiraling, and it's like "Oh..." You as a viewer don't get to share in the excitement of the people in the boat who are still waiting to see it. Maybe use that footage afterwords when you're recalling the fight. I did the like the school of fish under the tree however. Great show!

[AlmostReady]

This dudes joy for fishing makes it a joy to watch.

[kuldog]

This chanel makes me depressed knowing ill never catch anything like this 😭😭😭

[conspiraciesarejustgreatst]

That tuna had incredible colors. That looked like an extra colorful yellowfin tuna

[ccdccd]

I love how when you fish it’s not just you alone talking to a camera on a boat, you’re always with friends and having a good time, love watching everyone have fun. Keep up the good work, love the videos!

[mbbobruh]

Everyone says he needs his own show but as far as I can tell he already has it 👍 notification squad dont miss a single upload keep at it never disappointed

[dmitrig]

Wow never knew he gets sea sick!! I love the fact that he still goes out to fish on sea I would never!
