Do you think Yellowfin fight harder? Felt to me like they kind of did.

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.

Catching your first bluefin tuna is an exhilarating experience that combines patience, skill, and a touch of luck. These majestic creatures are known for their incredible speed and strength, making them a prized catch for anglers around the world. The moment you feel that powerful tug on your line, your heart races as you begin the battle with one of the ocean’s most formidable opponents. As you reel in the bluefin, adrenaline courses through your veins, and you experience the thrill of the chase. Once aboard, the sheer size and beauty of the bluefin leave you in awe, marking an unforgettable milestone in your fishing adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or new to the sport, landing your first bluefin is a moment of triumph and a story to share for years to come.

Great weekend with a great group. It’s not often I feel comfortable enough in a group to let go and party.
Video made and shared with the group first. Hope we can all do it again.

First outing with the Pactenna did not disappoint.

My first hf contacts on a summit in over a year and before that… over 2 years. Time to get back on the horse… or goat. 73

Today’s short hike and first in months. 11-19-23. Left the house at 1030 to hike and get footage. Completed the edit by 4pm. Life has been confusing and busy. Work 6-7 days a week but still feel so lazy because creative times have been so few and far between. I know I can do more…. I’ve been learning a ton of skills by shooting weddings and I kind of like this one a lot. Please let me know what you think… Shot mostly handheld with a Panasonic GH5mark2. Getting geared up for some new stuff coming up.
