Gerry, in March of 1996 my buddy and I went down to Hatterass for bluefin fishing. This is almost exactly what we did. Once we located a school we'd toss whole bunker 2-3' feet off the transom, with the fighting chair mounted in the transom, we'd bait the hook and pitch it to the fish we wanted to catch. We'd strap ourselves into the chair and on the bite be literally pulled up out of the chair and be over the water.

We brought 18 to the boat that from an estimated #185-325 tagging 17 and keeping our the legal limit of 1.

I will admit the tuna in this video look bigger than those we were catching.

Thanks for posting. It is so nice to see those fish putting on such a show. My guess is PEI also

Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia. Out of the six days over two years I have fished up there 3 were just like this video. The other three you kind of had to work for bites. It is an unbelievable place. You scream and point the first day then you almost get used to it. It has to be the best big game fishing in the world.

Small world...my buddy Darren and I did the same thing...around Feb 20, 1996

65 to 70 degree day

Boated and released 13 GBFTs to 400 lbs...whole dead (not so fresh) bunkers...did not matter those tuna would eat anything


130s in the chair...unreal...

Was going on The Chaser but we had motor trouble so Hog Wild took us out...we left 60 mins late but still caught up to the fleet (55' custom boat -super fast)...

Fished in 8 ft seas like it was the bay...unreal...kept one @ 200 lbs

This video was in PEI, on Jamie Bruce's boat. That's him and his mate Blair in the vid. I've fished 21 days with them up there the last three seasons, and have two trips scheduled this year for 9 more. I've posted that I'm looking to have someone join me on my August trip, but maybe this thread will bring more interest.
Here's a couple of links to pics and vids of some of our trips with them.
