fished tuna over Tweenty years caught a one hundred and fifty pounder of the clarion islands that took me three hours on forty pound test four hundred would strip that reel in five minutes don't get me wrong two hundred pounds will beat the shit out you with stand up gear buttttttt Budy not a four hundred pounder in a boat not kayak would test you big not on a bent butt rod stand up soooooo not

If it was even 250 it would've spooled that tiny reel.

You get towed when a fish is tired and can't make hard runs. A big tuna wouldn't get tired very fast, assuming your not using 30lbs of drag to begin with.

If you were on a large boat or stationary object, you'd be spooled by a 50 pound tuna or jack with that rig, but on a Kayak, you just would get towed around...while I doubt this fish was anywhere near 400 pounds, it could have been pretty big still.

Wow. That rod slamming down got my attention and that was once heck of a fast sleigh ride.

bassplayer60 - 7 years ago

Wow gotta hand it to you 4 hours and it breaks...Sorry bout that man!

I'm not saying this was 400 lbs but to those dogging him, you probably have never hooked a large tuna, secondly someone with enough experience catching tuna can gauge how big they are by the strength they have against the drag and rod. This was no small tuna by any means. He said it was an estimated weight. C'mon guys find something else to critique or get out there and catch one yourselves :)

Chris W - 7 years ago

Hooked, caught, sold, many tuna. This guy is a joke. He should join a knitting group.

Edward Dergosits - 8 years ago

+jacraig881 One CANNOT land a 400 pound Bluefin tuna on spinning gear like the one used. Fact is a 400 pound Bluefin would have spooled that gear in less than 2 minutes.

john schaub - 9 years ago

Wow normaly you have to put a fish on a scale to know what it weighs. This guy doesnt even need to see it.

FISHERMAN ALEC - 6 years ago

This guy is the biggest joke ever. That tuna was 100lbs if he was lucky. And that rod would of snapped if it was anything over 200lbs. Also if that was a 400 lb fish that shitty reel he had would of melted immediately

He's fishing in a kayak...... What do you expect? He probably thinks Hillary would make the greatest president ever.........

HydraYak Outdoors - 9 years ago

It's all fun and games until the :25sec mark... lawd!

jessy james - 9 years ago

Am I missing something here? what Blue Fin !!!

Jesus Mora - 9 years ago

RDPeast158 I like the way you think but I cannot believe you just called a Van Staal a Cabo!! I believe that is a 250 Van Staal.

chris1234391 - 10 years ago

im not trying to hate but i dont think that rod can handle a 400 pound tuna

Kevin Meinhart - 10 years ago

Hope you had someone come get you. I'd hate to paddle back those 15 miles

Keun Sum - 10 years ago

Would love to have one of the worlds fastest fish tow me around like that... nice video!!! Ocean was nice and calm.. nice weather

James Triay - 10 years ago

Unlucky bro! Cant believe how calm you looked when it broke off!

Henry Segarra - 10 years ago

Looks like the fish of a lifetime. Quite a sleigh ride. Awesome fish. Too bad you were woefully unprepared with a little spinner. If you had used a larger conventional with like 100 lb. test maybe you'd have landed that beast.

MrHimypeeps - 10 years ago

hard to say its 400 when you didn't land the fish

Matt Johnson - 10 years ago

Got that line off your neck just in time.

mohamed allam - 10 years ago

SoRRy For You

fishpwner1 - 10 years ago

WOW dude thats crazy ive had over sized sturgeon drag me around but nothing like that lol cool video!!!

Brien Evans - 10 years ago

Lol you needed a drag net to slow that guy down haha

Pedro Lopez garcia - 10 years ago

Well, that's another source of locomotion. We had wind, steamer, in-combustion, and now tunafish.

paul hunter - 10 years ago

to bad you couldn't hook another one heading back towards shore

Bo Doh - 10 years ago

Did you get hurt when the line slapped?

jarek partsch - 10 years ago

What was the rod and reel set up?

I think he was doing fine until he got the pole arced over so far it put too much tension on the line. Question is, what was he going to do with if he got it to the boat? If he could kill it, he could lash it aside, but otherwise even if it tires out it's just going to be him and the fish laying there 4 miles offshore. It would have been nice if a big boat could have come along and help him land it. What a ride.

RDPeast158 - 10 years ago

For you to say that everything this fisherman has done wrong is moronic. First, to hook u to a BFT in a kayak is a pretty amazing feat. Second, that is an offshore cabo spinnin rod built to withstand the power of a BFT. Last, he's enjoying the ride. Fish on!

thatfishingguy - 10 years ago

How heavy was your line ?

jungleislandsurvivor - 10 years ago

I also carry fins & a mask, good thinking and congrats on the catch!

Jesse Wright - 10 years ago

Way to stick it out. Keep charging Bro and your get the next one!

Bear304inc1 - 10 years ago

Now that's bad ass boy.

thang nguyen - 11 years ago

everything went wrong with this hook up. first, u never wanna hook a 400lb tuna on a kayak. second, this guy is using a spinning reel. and last, this guy never has control of the tuna at all.

steven Heusser - 11 years ago

Sorry, But I did not see any Tuna in that video. How can you say it was a 400 lb. Bluefin Tuna, when it snapped you off.

tolpacourt - 11 years ago

Epic. I hope I get such an opportunity someday.

Dante DeFiore - 11 years ago

Well that isnt a hobie. 24km (~15miles) is definetly possible but not exactly a short peddle. my gps says my revo average between 3.5 to 4 mph with turbo fins at a pretty brisk pace (no current or wind). I more realistic pace at that distance would be closer to 3mph

Alisha - 11 years ago

That's not far, around 24km I have done that in my Hobie Revolution 13 kayak without any support.

Grant's World Productions - 11 years ago

So what do you have for a support boat. Noway you went 15 miles without support.

Ci Fang - 11 years ago

What a waste.

KayakFishingVideos - 11 years ago

Hey Dave, I shared it on Kayak Fishing Videos on Facebook, hope you bring the next one back home ;)

RikkiTikkiTavi - 11 years ago

Damn. Must have been crazy.

Xdog40 - 11 years ago

Cool as it is to hook up from a kayak...4.5 hours is too long to fight a fish, it's basically torture. Would you like to be hooked in your jawbone, terrified, and fighting for your life for 4.5 hours? I personally would not. Think about it...
