FPV of my first Bluefin bite. Onboard the Independence on the Youngs Tackle 6 day April 2026. Just started acquiring gear and learning saltwater fishing 4 months ago. I chose a longer first trip to have more time in the trenches to learn as much as I could as fast as I could from deckhands and other anglers. Pick brains and always give up the rod when asked. Thanks to YouTube videos, I had a faint idea of what to expect but wasn’t sure how the bite would feel. Hope you find this video helpful if you are new like I am. Filmed with the DJI 6 in open-gate.
