I’m an albacore fisherman in BC Canada,we got similar prices and our expenses are high too,especially fuel.
Buyers are making more money than the fishermen risking everything.
Like you,I do it because I love it.
Tight lines.
Try farming. Cattle corn Soy beans.
@@paulprigge1209I’m a fisherman not a farmer.
Why the fuck would I try farming?
Blinded by Gold and fame
Should move. Canada is no place to be anymore.
@@dougiep2769 yeah? Where did you go?
I travel a lot but work in Canada.
I sport fished all my life for tuna in MA . when it was real sportfishing , couldn't touch the line till the leader was up .. Women Dr that fished on my boat I think still holds the world record < back in the 70's lol
I bet you see some things out there.
Joe you are growing in popularity man. Proud to say I've been subscribed for over 3 years now so I've seen you grow from less than 3k subs. You're doing good man. All your videos are well edited and shot. You don't act crazy or make crazy titles that are clickbait. You're honest and real which in a lot of these CZcams channels that do fishing stuff, is very rare. Those guys use their subscriber numbers to get free trips, gear and special things then act like they pay for it all themselves which everyone knows is not true. Granted you are sponsored by some companies, but you aren't in Mexico promoting some resort and acting like you've been friends with the owners for years and hang out all the time, wmeanwhile forgetting that just 5 minutes previously we saw you meeting the owner and having to introduce yourself to them. Like what?
I'm no commercial fisherman but I fish quite a bit in the Nothern Gulf of Mexico. Your videos are quite good, and yes, very educational.
I appreciate that!
Great video and thanks for being real , most don’t and don’t realize how much money goes into a fishing trip also . Hopefully you channel will explode and help
Joe on the air again!! The whole time they were fighting that fish I would find my right hand moving as if it was turning a reel. Damndest thing!
Thank you Joe for sharing the information on what the tuna are worth. I could not believe you pulled the tune up over the side rail.
And you all put the dart all the way through Charlie. 🤣
🎉🎉Most of all congratulations on the new niece. 🥳🥳🥳
My nephew is a charter fishing captain here in Florida near Tampa. End of January he was using a sabki rig to catch pinfish for bait. He had a couple of small pinfish on his line reeling them up and suddenly his pole doubled over. He had 6 lb braid on. Way over kill for the rig, but he also uses that rod for inshore fishing with shrimp. You know how it goes. He fights whatever it is up and then sees he has a big red grouper on the line. He finally got it up and it was a 12lb red hiding out near some oyster beds 20 ft from a seawall and a beach in about 40ft of water. The grouper swallowed the top pinfish and he was guthooked essentially from inside and then of course he got wrapped up in the other hooks agter throwing the other fish off. He was psyched. He had a client and his son on so they were psyched too. They wanted to stay there and fish, not realizing how rare that is.
I caught I spanish makrel hitting my sbaiki rig with a pin fish on it, I think that is the only thing that stoped it from shrding the leader. had to cut the line off though it was shred after though. Was peir fishing.
I was asking because it was part of the fun of your excitement and your days out fishing it's fun sharing the other part two people like money and they like to see people do good thank you
goodstuff an good info,market sucks,this tuff stuff,keepem commin joevt,staysafe..
Great video Joe! Love the bluefin fishing. Hopefully you guys get a great price. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing!!!
thanks for watching as always derby! youre the man!
Happy to see you Growing Joe!🤙
thanks! thanks for watching as always grady!!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! From MLT, WA
Congratulations to your brother and sister in law!! Now Joey is a uncle congrats bro!!!
Great video Joe, more people need to show the real price of these fish and talk more about the market. It would be nice for the buyers to develop a better domestic market. The fact that many "greenies" keep using the word endangered and depleted when they speak of the Bluefin I think hurts the ability to market such a great fish. The reality is that the Bluefin is now the poster child for how fishery management can work vs. keeps saying we should protect them. When I was a kid in the early 80's we got $2.75-$3.50 then in the late 80's-90's getting $14-$20+ was a great price. The best I ever did was the last day of the quota in 92 we got $33k for a 2 fish that day now were back to about 1983 prices.
Yellowfin was the preferred tuna back in the day. It wasn't until the Japanese demand for the giant bluefin took off that the prices went crazy.
The economics have changed unlike in the 80’s & 90’5 the majority of US caught Bluefin are actually sold domestically the market in Japan has softened for our fish. Yellowfin in the US is still highly preferred mostly because of lack of knowledge. Consumers and some restaurant owners don’t understand the fish is NOT endangered and actually needs to be celebrated as fishery management actually working. Also US consumer and Restaurants need to be educated on how to prepare the different cuts of meat on these fish.
Never landed a Tuna {aku} over 25lbs but we where in Hawaii in the early 90's with a Bass boat : 15'6" Champion running 5 lines with a 70hp Evinrude outboard and 50gal fuel cell and epirb we live baited tuna using the needle method. We mainly target Marlin had a few hook ups and landed 1x 180lb blue and 1x 102lb sail fish . plenty of Mahi Mahi and Ono or known as Wahoo the locals thought we where crazy , but our boat unlike theirs was unsinkable wood frame and fiberglass and foam injected , we where safe and never went out if there where white caps and our runs to the grounds where never over 1 mile and with in sight of the island .
That was enlightening...thank you!
thank you for watching!
I didn't know this... " Bluefin Tunas are endothermic, which means that they utilize metabolic heat to elevate and maintain regional body temperatures that are warmer than the ambient seawater temperature." Not truly "warm blooded" but close. Also, these big fish in 60' of water is crazy. Cheers! 🤠
Congratulations uncle joey vt😮😅😊
When I was a mate and captain back in the day we would sell our fish mostly king fish, dolphin and bottom fish direct to the public as much as we could nothing to right home about. Any fish that went to market people were in our pocket picking away. As you stated the fisherman does not make that much as people think especially after you figure in expenses. It is a labor of ❤.
Do you mate male's in the US?
Good Vid JoeVT. You ought to do a side by side comparison of the
NC Bluefin, LA Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna. Raw and Cooked. I'm not
sure there would be much given similar meat quality........ ??
Well done Joe, have always wanted to know - when you bleed out the tuna on the side of the boat aren’t you worried that a shark will attack the fish and take your catch. Thanks
I'm looking forward to Venice. Bring it on!
yes sir!
Saw you’re going to be meeting up with blue gabe, should be pretty cool vid to watch
yes! fishing with him soon! weather is having us reschedule but should be down here shortly
Nicely done Mr. Joe!
thanks for watching!
About 20 years ago, a friend of mine caught a monster Blue Fin off the south east coast of Australia. It weighed 263Kg which is almost 600 Lbs. He and his trauler team sold it to the Asian market for $60,000. I saw the News footage photo of it and it was like the size of a freakin Shark hoisted up. It was HUGE!
I love your videos bro
Why don't you worry about sharks ripping your tuna from the side of the boat? You don't have a tuna until it is onboard.
Or barracuda
Because they just aren't worried brosefus,they just AREN'T!!!
Can you directly sell to a sushi restaurant owner? If the end price is 20/lb, if you are selling at 3.50, they can buy it at 4 and you'll be cutting off the buyer/seller fee, marina fee, and auction fee.
VT you’re the best
Congratulations Uncle Joe. Its amaUng how little $ you get for your tuna and the price they gwt on tv..wicked tuna. Take care ❤
Thanks 👍
Sounds like those of us who raise cattle on small acreage as in 50 acres down, and even though that is a big portion of those who sell cattle.
We get less per pound than the whole chain from us to the feed stores hay growers the sale barn the feed lots and the slaughter houses to retailers.
Where we get average of a $1.00 a lbs live weight, and then you go to grocery stores.
They're selling cheap hamburger that's full of filler, excessive fat, and hydrated by whatever means they use is going for over $7.00 pee lbs.
Sack of range cubes grain mixture supplement is nearly $ 14.00 dollars a bag and average 1000 lb cow gets 5 lbs a day pretty much year round.
Because they're either nursing a calf, or pregnant, and in between you still have to keep their weight up so they can carry the calf whenever they do get pregnant..
Hay is anywhere from $45.00 , to $85. 00 a roll and five 1000 lb cows can go through that in a matter of a few days if it's cold sometimes more, because they waste 25% of it.
And this happens even if you Manger feed them or pasture feed.
So by the time you take one to market you've spent more than you make, and this doesn't include labor everyday, because you've got cattle you've got plenty to do.
Kinda like owning a boat, by the time you maintain it, fuel it pay for insurance, and slip fees
It's hard to show justification unless you can knock part of it off your taxes.
Only tax benefit we get is reducing our property taxes, small percentage of fed taxes.
But basically if you apply all the labor the other miscellaneous cost you'd just give up that comes out of pocket that you loose the receipt on because most fade until you can't read them to see what they are if you keep them in your wallet couple days
Yet all of the cattle ranches I see in TX and in FL all have million dollar homes on them and they all drive $100K trucks. Hmmm, must be making money somewhere. 😉
we would fish for bluefin even if we couldnt sell them. The money is just a bonus. Ive jumped from a plane and the adrenaline rush is damn near the same!
until you see the tail cut and the core it is just a guess it's all about fat content or if the fish got cooked when fighting as well as how fast you get it cooled down
Here we need a permit to catch giants. And we are limited to one fish. Is it the same in Carolina?I think my permit is federal
Hell ya boys!
You’ll have to come up to ma and make a trip with me this summer and do a colab video
that would be awesome!
Are electric reels not permitted?
Awesome fish. Wondering how many knives have you lost over the side of the boat gutting tuna's??
havent lost one yet!
I still want to know what you make on a fish like this?
hey what model and brand boat do you use?
Here in Pohnpei it's $3.50per pound
Yea
Serious question. Why are they called blue fin when they have so many yellow " fins" ?
how much did u make ?
awesome
You are commercial fishing, which I guess goes to my question. If a person was to charter a boat to go hunt for bluefin. Is the catch under a contract with the boat to sell it or is there the options to take the meat home? Hands down bluefin tuna is the best and most expensive fish that most Americans will never get the chance to eat. And is there enough meat off the collar and cheeks that you actually get to taste it before it flys off to Japan?.
I'm thinking of planning a trip down to your home port in Venice and hoping of booking a charter on your new boat what time of year is best to target giant yft I want to be in with a chance of landing a 200lb monster😂
now is the time! fishing is good, look at my last video! all the booking info is in the description of that video
@joevtfishing yes I just seen it yesterday unbelievable I'm just trying to get 2 more guys on board and I will be calling hopefully they grow a pair😂
Video was awesome but that intro was sick!!
Glad you liked it!!
You killed it
Your video was so engaging. I watched it all in one sitting.
thank you!
Damn yall need a SeaKeeper in that thing.
nice payday bro!
Sounds a lot like farming!!!! You grow a great product and carry it to market and take less
Reelly miss the mayport black fish videos
i do too! i still fish with jon whenever i go home but i just enjoy my time out there and dont really film
You guys don't take ice with you? On west coast they bleed n gut n pack with ice, except on big party boats. Cool video 👏🎣
we do if its a long run, its only about a 30 minutes to the dock so by the time we would be just getting done with packing by the time we got to the buyer
SoCal sportboats all have brine holds that keep the fish ice cold.
No ice?
people say , can't be that tough lol , try to spool 10000 foot of line on a spool with nothing pulling on it lmao
I was hoping it was more profitable than that. For y'all. Funny how there is zero risk to all parties except the fisherman.
yup. dont know how it ends up like that
Price per pound has dropped since mid 1985. You got more. Hawaii is a good TUNA area for tuna fishing. A good TUNA guide helps. Best luck. Happy 2024.
I am shocked sharks are not eating that at your boat. Crazy
yeah joe is doing great.....tuna not so! joe change is coming
Can you sell directly to a consumer??
no thats super illegal
Cash is the only way to avoid hackers
Move your camera further away for the selfies ….😂
35:10 WHATTTTT FISH THAT DIDN'T MAKE PROFIT???
This was hard to watch . May I suggests that you watch " Wicked Tuna " videos so you can learn how the big boys do it.
$3lb to the fisherman but $20 for a 5 slices of seared tuna on the appetizer list
That jags hat 😢
go jags
Do you guys worry about sharks?
You already showed this video what’s going on?
its a different video, i just talk about the big fish we caught bc we finally got a price back
you need to get a job on Discovery channel, those dudes get $8 to $25 per pound. 😅
Good thing you didn't bring in a 10 footer, trying to grade it at night would have been a loss, better to keep it and fill all you freezers...one and done.
I'm sorry but to say that your video's are the real "WICKED TUNA" is a real stretch and not even close. You're fishing in a center console sport fishing boat and spent a half hour reeling in a sub par Tuna. What makes "WICKED TUNA" special is the number of boats and crew they have. The dialogue between the crew and captains is what adds color to the show. Good Luck
I just wish i had a damn boat! You still didn't say Exactly how much y'all got for the fish though!
I know your having fun. But if your not making any money for the season. Why do you fish this species?
Sounds like you need to start a website and sell directly to the consumer. Cut out the middle man.
Nice job on the video, but the title is totally misleading (You are a good fisherman with that 10 ft clickbait) lol
In his defense he did go over what they got for the 119 inch fish so I would not call it click bait at all.
@@willscottrell6919 I will look at the video again, he gave us some weights but I'm not sure if he gave us a specific cash amount for the processed tuna
@@willscottrell6919 I kind of want to know how come on wicked tuna they're getting $15 a pound or more and here on this show they're only getting $3 a pound, that just doesn't make any sense to me 🤔
He did, $3 a pound for the 119 inch fish. It takes awhile to know what they will get, that's Joe's point that wicked tuna show is a fraud. In wicked tuna guy at end when they bring in the fish says I will give you $xxx a pound and it just does not work that way. @@christophergagliano2051
Becareful what you post brother because we have a lot of foreigners coming to our country to take from not only you but all of us so with that being said pick an choose yours for me show discipline your not be their liking but some discipline is better than none thumbs up you guys.
Im sure you make your money on other fish also.
Is my math wrong… 10 ft = 79 in
he's talking about the fish from the last video
Yea we got baited 😂
But he at least delivered at the end
Ur math is way wrong. 10ft=120" and the fish was 119"
So you made 900 bucks basically off that fish! Don’t seem like much at all. I allways thought you would get like 30-100k per fish and some of the big ones a million dollars.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’ll preface my remarks…sorry. Fuck that. $3.00 per pound wholesale…I’m taking that fish home
WoW, I never knew the F#@King when you say the fishermen get 10% or under, that's kinda shocking to me? But it seems a
bunch of other folks are getting a chunk & I'm guessing they consider themselves as "entitled" somehow? I'm sure that some
of them deserve a cut but somehow getting 1/10th of a fish that you caught just doesn't seem like justice to me...
but I'm dumb & I'd almost say leave em' in the sea? be safe out there fellas, peace
BUT its stiil money. Lol. Notva complete wastev time energy and boat ....
FJB!
3$ a pound.........sheesh. You would do better selling it locally.......
I guess it was a good pay day...for the buyer of course.
"Do not recommend channel" - Done
get to the point faster
Yall should band together and stop selling your fish until they start paying yall a fair price. If you aren’t making money it isn’t worth doing IMO
For perspective, I am a hunter and fisherman. You demonstrate very little respect for the creature.
You lie.....you made good money on that fish
100% not lying. Wicked tuna is a lie! Get ur facts strait
The fact you guys get so little is an absolute joke.
What a waste of time, don't lie to get people to watch your vids! Your tuna was only 79 inches! I heard the buyer say it.
Possibly you've found a way to profit from fishing with this channel. It should continue to improve with time. If ya really want subs go to a strip club to find some bikini to reel them in. Just don't wear the bikini yourself or I'm out! lol
Man, quit the BS…just tell us what the fish was worth…whole lot of dancing
i talk about this in another video dude. we dont get prices for several weeks
He told u the weight and the price per pound. Do the friggin math
@@scottjolly8983 Read my other comment…it’s a correction.
George will give you about 6 to 8$ a pound for that fish. And you guys burn that fish up, it’s worthless
You never said what the title said. Dark poor camera angles quit watch because it just wasn't interesting...
