Fishing Tips: How to Reel in a Fish | Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks

My name is Jennifer Super Chesky, the first mate on the Hot Tuna, and I'm going to show you how to properly reel in a bluefin tuna.

First off, as soon as I usually hit, they're gonna start peeling line off their cell phone and running. Running, if lines going out, low. Take a little tire out; let me take us for as long as they want. As soon as that line stops, take it out and drag stuff. Going, you want to crank it. Crank, crank, crank! If you could just crank really hard with your arm and do it. Crank, crank, crank!

When they start getting up and down, these are putting some weight on it. You're gonna use your left hand; most people use above. I highly recommend you use a glove like this. You know, pull the line into you and crank it. Sometimes, you can pull it just like this when a suspicious going out straight. Take a lot of line out; your right arm's gonna get really tired. He's cranking really hard.

Or deflate on you. Actually, get this: use your left arm in your right arm. Your left arm gives your right arm a lot of break, so you can use it for almost like a prank kind of thing. So we bring it in. You take all; I push off your right brain, your left. Now, while your right arm gets a little bit of a rest, you always want to watch the tip of the rod.

Always want that right bent over about that much right there. Then it comes up and gets all slack; there's a good chance you're gonna lose the fish. The over sword, a good bend in that rod. Always watch it as soon as tries start to come up. Krenzel, as soon as you see that swivel come up out of the water, dirty yell back in the cab dinner.

Yell back to the other mate, whoever's got the harpoon. You're gonna say, "Trouble's on the water!" It comes; as well, there is... see the student open up? That means our tuna is only about 15 feet below the surface of the water. We use a three fathom later; it's about 18 feet. So if you see the strip will come out of the water, you know the fish is right there.

So you want to get a harpoon ready to go. Always say all the rods. Whoever's played the fish always stay on it. Somebody's gonna have the harpoon. Do it; come on wood on the side. The fish is gonna be stuck. If there’s gonna be circling, hopefully, once you get the fishing a pinwheel, whatever size. You know, pop up on throw the harpoons; you build outside, but stay on the reel.

A lot of times, the harpoon is finished. It's going to take off. It's going to take another huge run, and Sheila dumped a bunch of the line on the harpoon basket. You're just going to sit here and have to crank it back in. Somebody's going to be fighting all the harpoon, and you just stay on here.

Not until that fish isn't ruining it and a gaff in it on the side of the boat. You leave this; you get to get a tail room, get another gaff, whatever you have to do. Don't leave this rod until you have a tail out of the water and you have this fish under control.

My name is Jeffrey Chute Moshevsky, and that's how you run a bluefin tuna. Hopefully, it works out for you.
