We take the almost 100 nautical mile run from Atlantic City, New Jersey up to the famed Hudson Canyon for an overnight tuna fishing trip.
Nothing stellar, but we honestly did better than most everyone in the fleet!!
Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Mako Shark, and a mystery monster.
Captain Chris swims with hundreds of mahi mahi!!

That's right where we always lose our swords as well. Great video, looks like lots of fun (until you get the fuel bill).
About 1991 6 of us took an overnighter, we got to the Lindenkohl Saturday morning @ daylight. The biggest thing that freaked me out was the sun setting Saturday evening, knowing we were 80? miles offshore and not another boat in sight lol.
That was awesome! Loved the part where you jumped in with the mahi. #AnotherEpicVideo
Removing the weight off the leader is the most common way of losing fish. make sure the boat is in gear and doing at least 4-5 kts. once the weight is removed slowly guide the line back up to the rod tip before releasing it. hope this helps, great Vid!
Another great video! We back the the drag way off at the weight.
Who needs sleep I've been fishing for 55 years and I still can't sleep before a trip when you could sleep before a trip it's time to give it up
Great video, great trip! Congratulations! I went snorkeling in the Hudson under different circumstances. Had to free the props from a discarded or lost CF net. Not fun with the swells. It took me about 45 minutes to free the props. It was a mess. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks!
awsome trip and makes life easy on you the captain and the trip when having a great crew and they all seemed to be on there A game that trip. pretty work
When you get the dolphin going like that near a pot drop a jig down deep, wahoo are there
Thumbs up for another great video. I appreciate it!
Turn the damn clickers off
How far are the pots you usually fish inshore?
When you take the weight off don’t “ping” the line..keep a hand in the line and wind tight and gently release it as the reel picks up the slack.
Chris you are bringing back memories for me Fished the Norh east canyons for 20 + years. Lost my captain 😢one year ago . Enjoy every trip fish or no fish 🌶🎸
Hey Chris on the weight removal I like to get my hand on the leader side (closer to the hook) and maintain tension as I unclip the weight with my other hand. Once the weight is unclipped, I’ll slowly release the tension I have on the line with my other hand, guiding the line to the rod tip as the reel man winds tight. I have some solid go-pro footage of this if you’re interested in seeing it.
Very nice! Gotta get this channel to 20k
Hey capt, I really enjoy watching your videos.started tuna fishing about 2 years ago . can't make it to the canyon with my boat but can,do the inshore bite, but even inshore nature is amazing between the dolphins and the whales. Keep up the good work, tight lines.
In regards to losing while unclipping lead….
1. What hook are you using?
2. Are you trying to get more horizontal by means of throwing the reaper into clutch forward, before advancing on the reel where you can unclip? (This is where we made mistakes early on…. for whatever reason, it is different when you are drifting slow, especially at night….don't ask me.) The theory is that you creat two bows in the line with strong current drifts, and they reverberate…. I know this sounds silly, but without drawing it on paper, it's difficult to explain.
Great video!!
What a fun trip. When was this filmed?
Boots!!!!
