405 lb Yellowfin Tuna

405 lb Yellowfin Tuna

It is possible. When we hunt yellowfins there is always the chance of the “ONE” coming through and I’ve heard rumors for years of guys seeing some monsters off the Coasts of more than a few countries. 405 lb Yellowfin tuna caught early December When we travel for Yellowfins we are generally looking for those in the 200lb Class and a 300lb one is always the goal. A few years back Brandon put a shaft in one late in the...

More big Dogtooth Tuna hunts…

More big Dogtooth Tuna hunts…

Stud. and Brandon Wahlers Brandon Wahlers was with me and Craig the first time we found the dogtooth in Indonesia and the first day on the spot I filmed him shooting a fish that I reckon was 180-200+lbs. He took a long shot and hit the fish in the right place but when it hit I could see the slip tip barely in the fish. At the time it would have easily been the new World Record and watching his buoys flying by at 50 feet was one of the...

Joseba Kerejeta World Champion Monster Dogtooth

Been catching a lot of flack from friends around the world mostly good natured about them all stealing back the World Record for Dogtooth Tuna.   The Record has been safe for 4 years but there are plenty of fish out there that can easily best whats out there.  I get a lot of good pics in my inbox teasing me into stressing about someone shooting a bigger Dogtooth and thought I’d share them with you. Over the next few weeks I’ll...

1000lb Tuna Speared

1000+lb Bluefin tuna I’ve been biting my tongue for the past few weeks waiting for a reply from Philippe Virgili for a full explanation of his “An over 1000lb Tuna capture” that he has put on every website that has the word spearfishing in it the world round. To catch you up on this if you haven’t heard, a few weeks/months ago P.V. speared a gigantic Bluefin tuna off the coast of Nova Scotia “150-170 miles...

World Record Dogtooth Tuna Shattered!

I haven’t been around for a few weeks but I will not apologize because we have been at the ends of the earth hunting Dogtooth Tuna and other pelagics. It has been a difficult, demanding, and rewarding trip at the same time. Each year I hear of guys shooting monster dogtooth around the world and many are lost and hearts broken. I’ve been down that same road before and a few years ago after spending way too many days and weeks...

Blackfin Tuna World Record

Blackfin Tuna World Record

Black Fin Here is the video from last year shooting with one of the original Riffe Pole Spears trying them out on Pelagics in the bluewater. This school of tunas stayed around us all day and we were able to keep them chummed up and deny the sharks that were constantly attacking each and every fish we shot. I think we landed about 75% of the fish this day which is impressive given that there was a school of 100+ sharks around at any given...

Anything important I should bring down there? Any pointers would be much appreciated. How many float lines do you use if...
