Great video why knot. I got the invite for a tuna mission out of Port Renfrew on a friend's a boat a week ago ... will post my video shortly (just awaiting footage from buddy's camera). This tuna fishing thing is most excellent, I am a believer.
The Bamfield shootout sounds like a gas ... I can't make it, but hoping for calm seas for you all!

So did anyone actually try to fish tuna this weekend? I enjoyed laying in a comfy bed listening to the wind outside until late in the AM. It was the first weekend I didn't fish in the past 4 and it was kind of nice being able to relax and get a few things done around the hose.

I went out as crew w Harper 44 on Sat. - 5 other boats too - we all got fish eventually , middle of Barkley canyon. 15 for us, 15 for Trophy Hunter, not too sure about other boats totals since we were second last boat back to weigh in. Big swells but mostly glassy

Thanks - for some reason I wasn't paying attention to those posts as I was thinking it hadn't yet started. Sounds like the boys did well on Sat. but are hunkered down for awhile now. Thurs/Fri is looking pretty good so hopefully all will get out then.

No problem....seems the guys put one hell of an event together thus far.
On another related note. That was one hell of a catch you had, landing that yellow tail! I am still very envious as Alby's are great, but the unknown and unexpected catch must trump the boat load of albacore. Great job and thanks for posting!

Got the BC tough crew out on my rig on Thursday for a tuna slayfest,fishing was good with full fish holds!
Do to work and weather it turned out to be the only day I could fish the Shootout.It was a fun event,cant wait for next year!
Pic of John and Jeff with a nice one!
The fish had Saury and anchovies in the guts,so the Deadly Dicks did the job along with Mexi flag clones.

Its been a good year for me and I can now see that it is officially over.
I fished way less this year but I only was skunked once so that is ok. The main reason for the big reduction in trips is that there was no/not much good weather during july so it just didn't happen. I think I made about 10 trips but i was still itchin for one more trip. I tried to make it to the shoot out but between the weather and my work schedule it just didn't happen. I did not have my boat for the thursday but I could have fished friday but the forecast was all over the map and with so much rain in the forecast on both weekends I seemed best to start my hunting season which was a good call.
ITs been great watching the tuna shoot out unfold.
I will be planing a yellow fin tuna trip to mexico or somewhere if anyone has any suggestions please pm me.

If you are after yellow fin as your primary fish, Venice Louisiana is tough to beat. I have not been there , But I know people who have fished both there and Mexico, and both parties say that Mex does not hold a candle to Venice. I do not know who they went with for charters but I can find out if you like.

not sure what you call Primitive but a quick google search turned up some pretty nice places in my opinion!
Anyhow, back to tuna adventures!
