Probably the best video of bluefin exploding on kite baits AND being tagged and released that I have seen. Capt. Bob Cook and crew over at Fat Tuna Guide Service hailing from Massachusetts did a fantastic job with this footage. Thanks Capt. Bob for your efforts on tagging. Kite fishing is so exciting. Down here in New Jersey the kite hasn't really caught on. Last year…

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. Take notice of the small things like the white feather jigs, leather harness belt and the small rail guard keeping these guys from falling into the waves with the tuna and sharks.

In our day of ultra modern fishing equipment both recreational and…
