Fly rod???
Guy I follow on the insta John McMurray who is a guide out of NY had a video of a client hooked up to one. I don't know if they tease them into casting distance with spinning gear w no hooks or if they chum to get them close enough. Thing got into the backing instantly.
So after my first experience I would tell you that they most likely did both of those to get them there. Or, maybe nothing at all. Additionally, I am not sure what weight fly rod they were using but I was using 15lb braid and 25lb mono leader and they fought like a 6lb bonito with the added 5 foot leaps into the air. The bulls we got, they fought way longer and more so like an 8lb albie. I can tell you this, I definitely felt like I could have some fun with them on a mickey mouse rod or Mh ice rod and say 6-8lb test line. The bulls would most likely spool me but the 8lb and less would be fun as......
Was doing great for 2 hours until another boat came crashing in. Blitz over.
I too went on a tuna adventure last week. absolutely slaughtered them. the boat total was a little over 60 fish for 20 guys. well our group of 3 caught 1/3 of the boat total of fish with 20 tuna. absolutely amazing fishing.
Great work. Where'd you go out of? I didn't know they even did group tuna charters.
