Video I put together of a trip out of North Carolina a couple weeks ago. Camera battery died and missed a couple fish in the middle. Ended up with 12 yellowfin in the box. We dont have the rigs like you guys in the Gulf so fishing is a little different.

Any tips on getting the video to show in the post? Tried a bunch of ways and cant seem to get it to work.

It shows up in tapatalk.

Great video! That gaff man was on his game, looked like he didn't miss any.

Thanks. I was doing the gaffing. I worked as a mate for a handful of years so have had some practice. All of mine made it in the boat but we lost 1 at the boat when we had 6 hooked up. Got 2 others that the camera died on so they didn't make the video

looks like bait no size limits

Haha the first couple were definitely borderline. The first fish in the box was 27.5" second was 29. Gotta be 27" up here to keep 3 a piece. The rest were all 30-40lb. We dont see the big yellowfins up here much. 30-50lb is average and maybe once a year we will get a brief run of 70-90lb. We do get quite a few Bigeyes up to 250lbs or so and depending on the season will catch bluefins anywhere from 15" to 600+ lbs.

I know you to live in NC fished outrbanks you are right yellowfin up there are plentiful but small compared to down here in the gulf

Yall do any dropping for swords off the outer banks?

I have done it a couple times but haven't had any luck. My friend had caught a few out there and up here off Maryland they will catch some too

All night time fishing for the swords up this way

Cool vid thanks for showing.

Too small of one. It is a 27 trophy. Once a year I take it someplace far away for a trip. I started going to Gloucester a few years ago. I like it up there because if the tide isn't right for the bluefin we will fish for cod or haddock. I really like live lining mackerels at night for the stripers. I am looking into an aluminum 27 footer but the manufacturer is on the west coast.

That's awesome. Pretty cool idea to go someplace different each year. Yeah my buddy has a 24' Grady white we do a decent bit of fishing on but I will choose one of these 50 some foot Carolina sport fishes any day of the week haha. I used to mate offshore 100+ days a year. I wish I never got out of it at times but it's nice just to go with friends that are running or mating on these boats now
