- I am heading out of Fort Bragg, CA in search or warm water to locate some tuna. We have some really nice weather so I will be heading out 35-40 miles. This was one of my best days of fishing ever. A day to remember for sure. I hope you and enjoy the video.

Losing that fish broke my heart dude.
Way to go Chris well done. Anyone who has fished for some time knows what its like to lose a big fish, heartbreak for sure. But what keeps you going back for more? That's right, the chance at another big fish.
Thanks for watching, yeah tough one for sure. Makes it even sweater when I get one.
Nice work Chris, you’ll get your redemption fish!!
Thanks guys, hoping so, just makes it more sweet when it eventually happens!
My heart sank when that fish popped off. I know that feeling all too well from salmon fishing. But what a day for albacore!
What a bummer, thats always a heartbreaker no matter what. Regardless of loosing the fish yall killed it, love watching you guys fish up there while im down in SoCal. For that being your first fish that size you guys did really really well, I work on a boat in the summer and I can confidentially tell you that you guys did a much better job than the majority of people on fish that size for the first time. Lots to improve on but thats what keeps us going out, tight lines boys!!
I appreciate you watching and giving support. Yeah I feel like I learned from that fish. Ready for the next try!
@@ChrisPfish2 Your gonna kill that thing fast next time, can't wait to see it!
Hey Chris - next time try to use the rail more: use it as a fulcrum and lift the fish that way.
Holy sh!t!!! That’s sad!!! But I’ll bet it was fun!!! You learn something every time you go out!!!
Something new tuna anglers struggle with is the concept that you will tire these big fish out. You won't. They are learning, and recovering. You need to break their will early. You do that with more drag. After they are pinwheeling, use the boat's motion to winch them up...no more line should go out. Good luck on the next one...trust your gear, it can handle it.
Thanks for the tip. First time, so yeah it was a learning experience.
excellent editing, camera work and fish cam syncing - we relocated from the bay to TX - and we're gonna keep on Chris'n on!
appreciate it, thank you!
That was a great day of fishing, but still my heart breaks for you two! Now you HAVE to go back out and try again!
Thanks for watching, yeah redemption is needed for sure. Next weather window
I’ve been watching your videos since you were at around 1000 subs… you’ve always crushed fish but I want to compliment you on the continued increase in the quality of your videos. I enjoy watching, thanks Chris
I appreciate that, thanks for the comment.
A real video with a real ending; can't ask for more when attempting the catch.
Thats a great day of fishing… that big one landed would have been insane.
Good job Chris, great day we were out on Sunday and lost a big one and I caught a 125 + pound yellow fin I will be posting video shortly.
It is hard to watch the hook popped. Lession learned for me. I changed all to treble hooks. I love the under water camera Chris. BTW. I love to fight fish with the clicker on. It give me a feeling of control. You will catch them next time. Thanks for letting me buddy up with you out. Great day of fishing.
good day of fishing 247!
Cedar plug lure is a classic.
Great job! running 7 lines with 2 guys takes some coordinated skill. Always enjoy your videos.
Thank you!
Yow! That’s some exciting fishing. So sorry you lost that big one. My heart broke with you. It should have been yours with all that work. But you brought home some great fish. Congrats.
Thank you. Yeah tough losing the best fish of your life.
Been there done that! I know how much it stings. You’re the man ChrisP
Thanks for watching
Good job guys you killing 🎉🎉
Awesome congratulations great video cool underwater footage great day!
The under water footage is great with the hookups and you will catch the big one next time for sure Brother

Thanks Rich Rod. Just watched your video. Good you got two on a tough day. Got a taste, now I am sure you want to try again.

Wonderful story...
Cool rod holders,like the way you can remove em outtakes ur way fast n easy👍 Good day n cool video Chris,thanks👍🎣
I like the teamwork and friendship.
Great vid man. Reminds me of me and my buddy years ago. Just fearless and would go anywhere for fish. Subscribed
Nice looking fish
HELL YA that looked like fun even though it got away you guys rock
appreciate it, thank you!
Been watching your channel for over 2 years now. My kids and I have really enjoyed watching your videos and appreciate you showing and discussing how to fish different species of fish.
Thank you, glad to hear you enjoy watching with your kids! Appreciate you guys watching!
Albacore poke! The best. Nice vid Chris. We fished out of Bragg last month. Did about the same.....without the Big Eye excitement though.
Awesome video Chris!!! Sorry you lost that tuna. I remember losing a over 200lb plus yellowfin tuna after over 2 hour fight.
I’ve been watching and subscribing to your channel for a couple years Chris.
This was my favorite vid so far.
I wasn’t nearly as heart broke as you guys, but when that rod tip popped up, my heart sank for you! What a great story though.
Great videos Chris. I appreciate your calm attitude and no hype.
Cheers Friend-
Thank you I appreciate the kind words. Yeah fun time, happy you enjoyed it!
It's always good to watch one of your videos.
I appreciate that, thank you!
Ur getting this video business down Chris,great day,n cool video👍🎣
Thanks Tim!
Awesome Chris! I was really hoping you landed that big one. Appreciate all your videos. Happy Thanksgiving!
thank you! happy thankgiving
Love the videos.And the camera action.Try rail rodding the big fish next time it gives you more leverage.I use a ziptie on the albacore hooks to keep them from opening.
Thanks for the tip and watching!
Great video and well done, so unfortunate, but nothing you could do.
Pure excitement captured by great video footage and expertly dovetailed underwater visuals. Thoroughly enjoyable to watch! Thought about any black arrow tee shirt merch? Kind of has become your signature stamp.
I appreciate it thank you. Been thinking of merch. fun idea!
I’m sorry that you did this…there’s no turning back now. 😝😂😂
Pretty cool with the underwater camera !
Chris, great video. Glad to see the electronics and equipment are working the way you want it to.
Thanks Jim, your the best, it works because it was installed correctly!
Wow, what a battle. Such a bummer that you lost the big eye so late in the fight, but that’s how it goes. I know this would have been your first big one and you must be super disappointed. I know how it feels as I am 0:2 this year and still trying to land the big one. Keep going at it. I wonder when they show up around Bodega Bay. Hopefully soon…. Thanks or the awesome video. As always, I learned a few things.
yeah it is disappointing but it will make it even sweater when it happens. I cant wait for them to show up in bodega too, thanks for watching
Brutal to lose that thing after such a long fight! Nice job on all the others.
Devastating to say the least . I knew it broke off based on there not being a giant fish in your title or thumbnail but I was invested and had to see my heart broke right along with yours . Great video
Thanks for watching, the title says big eye and in the thumbnail top right is a big eye :) Yeah it was a bummer it came off. That was first expierence with a big tuna. Since then I have caught some BFT so I am ready for the next opportunity!
Way to go you have schooled yourself nicly on that fickle bay i am proud of u keep em coming
Bummer!😮Fish gotta win once in awhile I guess🙄 Next time👍🎣✌
You’ll get it next time Chris! You can feel more confident with the single hook to put some heat on the fish and don’t be afraid to use 2 speed either when they are in a death circle.
Video of the Year ✨✨
Thank you!!
In a way, losing the huge fish is not bad. You will always remember this fish and it will live in your imagination and grow in size.
lol. thanks for watching
Wasn't boring though 👍🎣👏
That was indeed a large bigeye.....I have caught several of those in my lifetime fishing out of San Diego. It's been years since I have caught one as they tend to be caught in Albacore years. Single 7691 Mustad is the hook of choice and a slightly larger feather for trolling. My track record is about 1 boated for every two hooked. Awesome experience, that you will never forget and you got it on video! Congrats
Thanks for the advice on the hook, and lucky you on catching several. Yeah there are lots of stories of them getting away. Hopefully those are true odds and I land the next one. Thanks for watching
Great frick'n video!!!
You know it, I know it, and the American people know it was a Bigeye. Whatever name, it was a real porker.
Is there anything they could've/should've done differently?
Was the line damaged rubbing the hull?
Great job buddy we’ll done on editing the video it came out great 👍🏻 Man I was sad when you guys lose that
Thanks Ahmed!
Gotabafirst albi underwater cam chingon
Another good tip is not to use those springs on your hooks for albies and big eye, they make to large of a loop and you found out the hard way
That Was A Great Video C.C.
thank you, happy you enjoyed it and I appreciate you watching
@@ChrisPfish2 I’ve been watching for a while. You have become…
@@ChrisPfish2 it was a tragedy that lure gave up. You two put in some work all three of you.
Give some feedback on the lure. It did hook a monster.
@@m.j.greathouse456 Just checked the lure. It has no name on it. Not sure were I got it, best guess would be outdoor pro shop several years ago. Looking on there site, they sell a Zuker Tuna Grass Skirts. Thats my best guess. It was best lure that day.
@@ChrisPfish2 I Learned With You.
I won’t use two prong hooks like that.
That was the best video I have seen in a minute.
I was with you guys. I wanted to see that fish 200 plus ??.
Hurts to watch that rod pop up! One for the blue fin 🙄 Next time 👍🎣
It's the ones you lose that keep us going back. Big tuna fight different. It's crazy to see big eye up here. Big tuna a lot of It's technique if your lucky enough to hook one. I haven't caught albacore since like 2006 or 2007.
Man, I almost sprained my smile muscle on this video!
lol, thanks for watching
Same thing happened to my buddy OLEG
Have you ever seen a Albacore have its skin peeled off then the loin sections cut out? Works very well to make perfect loin sections as you can see the exact lines where to cut with the skin off.
there are some "how to" your tubes on skinning available
That was a massive blowup!
I know, cannon ball! Thanks for watching
Santa needs to bring you some fighting belts for Xmas - would've made a big difference with that bigeye or whatever it was.
❤
Oh man, you gotta strap yourself in on this one
Holy shit, did you say 40 miles out and that little boat oh my God
I like that you have a ticker motor on that boat you got back up it happens I think another time it happened to a friend of mine. I was on his boat and that happened and we were stuck. We had to call vessel assist, and it cost of a shit out of money, cause he had no insurance, but slower, but
Did I see a Calstar rod there? Those are my absolute favorite rods
7 lines for 2 guys is crazy!
Watching for third time n still hurts watching that fish get off 😅
Not sure if anyone mentioned this in your 240 comments but you can use a zip tie on those double hooks instead of heat shrink. Works well when rigging out on the water.
Lotta tunafish sandwiches 🥪
Aloha. What a waste.
omg Chris, we were out there, no big eye for us, but 53 albacore. Not to bad.
great job!
Tuna can be tough. They are power swimmers. Ive lost my own as well. ;)
Thanks for watching. Yeah there tough thats for sure.
epic underwater cam shot
Thank you, yeah it was cool to catch three with underwater camera. Thanks for watching
I’m from the east coast. It looks like you’re 30 miles out in a bass boat lol. West coast is wild.
bass boats must be a different style from were your from. Thanks for checking out the video.
Awesome video Chris! You going again this weekend?
yeah looking at going. see how reports are next few days.
