    I laughed, I yelled, I almost cried with you Taku! Anyone who has ever been in one of those epic battles with a true monster knows that gut wrenching feeling of heartache that comes when you are so close and then suddenly they are gone! Keep going buddy, plenty more out there ahead of you. I don't ever comment, but I had to this time. Thanks for sharing this amazing experience. You are blessed 🙌

    In my experience you should be fishing for those fish with what we call an "ulua pole" in Hawaii aka a bigger whipping pole. Also in those conditions you should probably have a fishing buddy and a gaff ready, that fish would have been a problem to deal with if you got him up on the rocks and all you have to dispatch it with is your dive knife while having to hold your fishing pole and a very strong fish with sharp edges and the will to live is thrashing around all the while a wave could surge in and complicate things further. When you're hunting elite fish it's best to have a strategic game plan of landing the fish before beginning.

    Land based GT fishing is brutal man. I know how much time and energy it takes to change out terminal tackle, map out satellite spots, plan tides, use specialty gear, to finally get a strike after hours if not days only to lose them. This type of fishing is as brutal as it gets. You did really well for someone who doesn’t do this regularly. Sometimes these fish just have too much torque when they turn so even the strongest hooks rip out, even when you do everything right. Next time.

    Hey Taku, awesome video. Pro tip ! For that dull knife you switched to, the answer was hanging on the cup rack a foot away. Porcelain/ceramic cups, plates, etc are EXCELLENT to hone the edge on knives. The 'rough' area (unglazed) that forms a ring around the bottom of the cup. Use it as you would a butchers steel. Sharpen away from you, reversing the knifes edge after each swipe. You'll have to switch hands for the other side of the blade. 4/6 swipes on both sides ! Presto very fine edge on the knife.

    I’ve never targeted dogfish tuna but as a spearo I’ve seen lots of videos of other spearos hunting them. When spearos go for them, the dogfish are able to pull down one or two pressurized floats to a decent depth (even after a fatal wound from a spear). If that’s what you had on your kayak, that’s pretty intense!

    Hooking big fish like that is definitely a drug,gives you a respect for the power of the fish and the conditions it lives in.
