Title: Bloody Decks
Post by: ribka on July 18, 2016, 07:08:45 PM: Went out with Hunt WA sponsor Mark Youngblood for tuna

Mark and his deck hand did a great job of putting us on fish. I fished tuna before and learned a few new things. Most of the action was on lighter tackle ( 30 lb test) Action was fast and furious and Mark let us catch some on a Jack pole. It was exciting to see 20 to 30 pound tuna come to the surface for bait. Had quite few sharks swimming in the area and they evetually put down the tuna at our first bait stop.

I cannot say enough about his boat and client treatment.

You can see we lucked out the weather and conditions.

It was a blast and now processing 90 lbs of tuna

Post by: Lucky1 on July 18, 2016, 09:19:20 PM: We went with Mark today and had a awesome experience also. We had two rookies on the boat and Mark and Shane the deckhand were patient with them and us and taught them how to get the fish to the boat. It was a great trip, if you want to go with him you better get signed up soon.

I love to tuna fish for sure but I promise I give 100 % to all the fish that I chase year round and consider each day a blessing to be out there giving it my all!

Title: Re: Bloody Decks
Post by: Forks on July 19, 2016, 06:43:55 AM: A jack pole really lets a person know just how much power these fish have and it's great that some of the express charters are letting folks experience it. Reels are for playing with a fish, "Jack" can fill a boat in a hurry if the situation is right. Great post and photos.

Looking Good! After our trip Sunday, I've done 32 pint jars already and plan to do another 16 this afternoon! I already have 10 loins Vac sealed and frozen and lots of Tuna still in cooler for processing. Plus, I still need to smoke the bellies. This is going to last me for a very long time!

Post by: 92xj on July 20, 2016, 10:19:57 AM: Ribka and Et, bring me your leftover tuna on Friday and I can smoke it Sunday if you guys need.

Something like this looks good...

Or, soaked in yoshidas for 4 hours, then add a little brown sugar and throw in the smoker for 2 hours sounds pretty dang good too.

Anyhow, if you need/want it done, let me know.

Might want to add a little pepper also if you're into a little kick. Just had 70lbs smoked and it's the only way to go as far as I'm concerned.

Post by: Taco280AI on July 20, 2016, 12:30:08 PM: How much did you take home in fillets?

In addition to jarring it, what else are you doing? Vacuum sealing and freezing?
