Dungeness Crab Opener w/ Bluefin Tuna Combo
Спорт
Its that special day so many California ocean fisherman wait for, dungeness crab season opener! This year the conditions look real good and bluefin tuna are still around. Thought I would take the very rare opportunity to go catch cold water crab and warm water fish in the same day about 20 miles apart from each other.

When stressed tuna often regurgitate their stomach contents; hence, empty stomachs. Thanks for the vicarious fishing thrills.

I have been commercial salmon 25+ years, you guys had me on the edge of my seat, listen one thing you must get dialed in, when fish is ready for gaff, rod person NEEDS to step back, thus rod tip gets closer to boat, easier gaff.
Nice fish. Even though you guys are learning. 👍👍

Just a little tip. By putting your rod in a rod holder side ways or backwards it is pretty easy to break a rod when a fish hits it. Rods have a backbone and are ment to bend one way. You need to use the rod as what it is mentioned for to fight the fish. Pull up reel down. Also you never slam a gaff down into a fish. Always gaff from underneath up into the fish so their weight drives them down onto the gaff. Congrats on landing the fish.

A buddy of mine found some bluefin tuna carcass in the dumpster there and gave it to me to use at crab bait. Two trips with limits later they’re working really well😂 also that stabi behind your boat was beautiful🥲
Nice work on the BFT bro.
Chris chris I told you that Eric is the lucky charm good job Chris nice video😊😊
Nice cow!!!
I hope one day I can catch crabs with you and enjoy a happy life
You've turned into a regular NoCal BFT expert
hey Chris, I really enjoy your videos. I watch all of them! Question? How far out are you going from bodega bay for blue fin tuna? and what areas are you fishing for them?
Congrats AGAIN!! Since u guys cud not catch your other chrome red meat this season you have to settle for these things, oh darn. 2sp is your friend on these things, you're friends wi!l thank you as we!l. Put that low gear to good use.
My goodness. That is a dolphin. 😮

Awesome day. Special shout out for doing that in foggy conditions. We helped you load that pig into the back of your truck at the ramp. We get to watch an exciting 30 minutes of video, but it was apparent that you were exhausted and still had lots of work remaining Saturday night. You make the videos look easy. 4 tuna in a week....perhaps a second career as a sushi chef. Thanks for keeping us entertained.

Almost makes me wish I was back in the Bay Area. Great day and video guys! My wife would kick your ass if she saw you putting that tuna head in the crab net! Hahaha
congratulations on getting tuna fish
Incredible video! I don't know how you're going to go back to fishing halibut and salmon after this! Also, looks like you went out in the dark and peasoup fog. Do you slow your cruising speed way down when you're heading out to the tuna grounds?
Great job, you really learn something when you teach someone else. By the way what is your live well ? Just 20 gal polyethylene tank plumbed for raw water with overflow? Thanks for the video.
Hey Chris killing it like usual! Making people wanting to get out there and catch tuna on their 20 foot boats🤣. One question. What is that App you use for navigation?! And does it work with no service?
Congrats on the tuna success. I am also trying to get my boat ready here in SoCal. I didn't see anywhere what boat that is, size, and where you got the canopy done. I need to get something similar built. Also like the fact you have a radar. What model is it? Thanks man and I am a subscriber your videos rock.

Take ur time on bringing in the fish on to the boat after being gaff dnt for get to free spool. ur gonna end up breaking a rod tip or a rod in half ... nice catch brother 👌 👍

The reel is not a winch. It’s to store line and apply drag when the fish runs. Reel down pull up! And the gaf is not a bat 😅. But awesome day anyway guys!! Bimps on the deck!!

What are you going to do for an encore? I don’t know how you’re going to top these last few trips but I’m sure you will. Well done! What are the qualifications for deeming an angler an “Old Salt”? You’re well on your way there…if not there already.
Awesome job on the combo trip!!! Are you fighting the fish in low gear or just high gear?
@ChrisPfish2
7 ай бұрын
just high gear, to worried of the line getting loose. Only a few ways you can lose them, loose line, line cut on boat/motor, bad knot/line. Thanks for watching
You need to ask F&G to give you one of their crab gauges for your boat., I have 3 different crab gauges, and all are deadly accurate. Toss that gauge that is defective. Nice BF hookups. Always bring experienced BIG muscular guys when BFT fishing.
You don’t want weight on hoop nets just in the center, if there is current the pot will bounce up and down and scrape the crabs, you want the weights on the outside posts so it holds the main ring flat on the bottom.
Hello Chris thanks for all that great content you post. One question, do you have any experience with pittbull conical hoops. How they fish and if they’re wt. is good enough to hold bottom…

How long do you let them cool some before putting on ice. I've heard you supposed to wait a while
good vids, consider the gym next year
