The Northeast Canyons are located roughly 100 miles south of Cape Cod, and during the summer they contain a multitude of different species of fish.
It's not unusual to find blue and white marlin, wahoo, yellowfin tuna and of course the hard fighting bigeye tuna.
Bigeye tuna can grow up to 8 feet in length and weigh as much as 400 pounds. The eyes of bigeye tuna are well developed and with a large spherical lens allowing their vision to function well in low light conditions.
So when I got the call from My Fishing Cape Cod member Kurt Saraceno that they were planning a trip for bigeyes and that they needed an extra deckhand, I jumped at the opportunity.
I met the guys in Osterville at 4AM on July 15th. Our goal was to make the 100+ mile run to West Atlantis Canyon.

Nice video! Appreciate the tackle review.
Any time!
Its tough fishing out there these days!Did a bunch of trips last season with dismal results .Lots of big fish lost at the boat!!Just when you think you got them they remind you how powerful they really are.Anyhow congrats on your bigeye!!!!!
Thanks for watching Mike! And yes they are super powerful! I hope you have better offshore luck in 2019!
@@MyFishingCapeCod I actually moved my bot this year up from niantic ct to green harbor mass to focus on more popping and jigging for bft!Hoping i made the right call for this season fingers crossed!!!!
Awesome! Big move! Good luck and keep in touch!
I like those Big Game Battle hats!! I've got the one the captain's wearing.
LOL, sweet! Love it
I wonder how much $ in spreaders were lost in the making of the video? Great video! I run teaser chains but never spreaders so it's nice to watch how other people do it. Where I live it's pretty much all long fin and an occasional blue fin in the 100lb range.
lol, fortunately I don't think we lost any spreader bars during this trip. Glad you enjoyed the video! Gluck with the long fins and blue fins this season. 🎣
@@MyFishingCapeCod thanks for the response! I can't wait to get to the tuna grounds! Good luck to you too!
