Saw this on another site, don't think it was posted here though. Crazy tuna bite. The class of fish ramps up as the frenzy increases.

Keeperreaper... it looks like your boat. :hidin:

-spence

that video was incredible!!
how'd you like to arm wrestle on of those guys?

Thanks for posting that. Must be some strong hooks.

Made me hungry.

some questions - are they using lures or bait.
How come the small fish were falling off so quickly when they brought them in the boat? Im sure it was, but it didnt look real them going so fast?

thanks for posting that....insane!!!
hows ya forearms:smash:

RIJIMMY, I have no idea how that set up worked. Maybe it was like a squid jig?? The "hook" would be sharp enough and strong enough for the fish to bite, but with no curve or barb, the upward motion keeps it planted in the fish's mouth until it slackens up once its hoisted onto the deck... just a guess. Anybody actually know?:huh:

make sense, its just crazy to watch,. thanks for posting that.
