http://wrec.igfa.org/WRecordsList.aspx?lc=AllTackle&cn=Tuna,%20blackfin
“A flash of gold in the depths is often the angler’s first sight. Dark fins indicate a blackfin tuna, not the similar—and potentially much larger—yellowfin. The species overlap in some waters off Florida.

Over the years, Florida Sportsman has covered the ins and outs of the blackfin tuna fishery around the Florida coastline: Places these fish are historically abundant, such as the famous Humps in the Florida Keys; the shrimp fleet in the Gulf of Mexico; bluewater ledges off Northeast Florida. We’ve researched baits that are productive—from live sardines to ballyhoo, small trolling plugs to streamer flies. We’ve covered the advent of fluorocarbon leader material, its low refractive index apparently conducive to fooling the sharp-eyed blackfins.”

“There are scattered records of blackfin tuna occurring as far north as Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, but the usual range is from North Carolina to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, including the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

The pectoral fins reach to somewhere between the twelfth dorsal spine and the origin of the second dorsal fin but they never extend beyond the second dorsal fin as in the albacore. There is a total of 19-25 (usually 21-23) gill rakers on the first arch (15-19 are on the lower limb), which is fewer than in any other species of Thunnus. The finlets are uniformly dark, without a touch of the bright lemon yellow usually present in those of other tunas. Light bars alternate with light spots on the lower flanks.

This is a pelagic, schooling fish that generally feeds near the surface. Its diet consists of small fishes, squid, crustaceans, and plankton. An excellent light tackle species, it can be taken by trolling or casting small baits or lures, including ballyhoo, mullet and other small fishes as well as strip baits, spoons, feathers, jigs, or plugs; or by live bait fishing from boats at the surface of deep waters one to two miles offshore. It has some local commercial importance, but is predominantly an angler’s fish. It is a spunky game species and the flesh is of good quality and flavor”

    Nice fish and great edits

  4. Don Le on May 23, 2020 at 4:36 pm

    I love the Fierce combo’s but which one are you using here?, is that a heavy or medium heavy and do you prefer a 7′ or longer?

  5. kraowdy boy on May 23, 2020 at 4:36 pm

    whats that name of the fish at 1:29

  6. Deep Nature on May 23, 2020 at 4:37 pm

    That was an awesome black fin. I would have been yelling also lol. Those mullet were huge. Some of those would have went home. Mmmmm smoked mullet fish dip. I will be down at AMI in 2 weeks with my boat. Hoping for good weather.

  7. Glenn Caswell on May 23, 2020 at 4:39 pm

    For those that don’t know…check the lateral line. If it’s straight (almost) it’s a spanish. If it has a pronounced dip about midway…a juvenile king.
    PS: I hope he was 24 inches!

    Awesome catch , love it ! … You are aware that fresh , live tuna rank # 1 with the most mercury level in the oceans and process can tuna is just a tad safer , not much !

    Hey guys, just a question on gear. What is the absolute minimum I can spend, and still get deep sea fish like this? Basic net, rod, reel, etc. that is cheap and affordable?

    I didn’t see in the notes that your Dad had passed away. I am so sorry to hear this. Your video fishing with him was so great I watched it a couple times. He was so excited and happy fishing that day with you and I know it will be a great memory for you.

  47. Jay Williams on May 23, 2020 at 5:27 pm
