2023 BFT OPENING SEASON - going on 3 days on Intrepid sports-fishing.

2023 Tuna fishing season just started and 5 of us went on a 3 days BFT trip on intrepid (has a very good reputation). As soon as we got there, we find out that capt Bill cavanaugh was laid off week prior to our trip. We headed to hidden bank (15/20 miles from Ensenada) and on first night, we were able to bring in good portion 18 of 20 to 40lb, then next day, we got a early bite at 4:30am, using same setup 250 to 300g knife jigs and/or torpedo sinker rig setup. 2nd night we are able to hook up more babies and caught one 130LB. 3rd day: fly line wasn’t working, torpedo sinker wasn’t working, 250-300g knife jig wasn’t working. We got absolutely none on sat morning, day or night. I believe capt sam did about 450 miles to 500 miles on this trip. So around 49 babies 20 to 40lb, one dude caught 130lb and one big dude lost a cow on his silly 40lb setup. (Would of been amazing to see mike, the big dude catch it. ) This was my first intrepid trip : speed, quietness, stateroom, big bath with hot shower was incredible. Food was “B+” at best and staff was alright. (Lost 2 on while gaffing)
Anyways, it was a fun trip: catching the first BFT’s of the season. Nicely done James Ahn 1, William Tsang 2, Scott Son 1, Derrick Hong 3 and i had 3. lol

Thanks for watching. video was intended for family and friends !
