Very cool.

So what happens when sharks show up like that, you just keep chumming and shooting?

How big were those tuna darting through? Were they too small to shoot or were you hoping for bigger ones to show up?

We shot a few of the blackfin at first, but then waited for big yellowfin to show up. We ended up with 4 between 130 and 145 pounds in 3 days. The sharks took a couple fish and tore up a bunch of our gear.

Reading the shark situation comes with experience and isn't an exact science. Most of the time we keep shooting unless they are too big, too pushy, the wrong kind, in dirty water.

What kind of gear did they tear up? Chum bags?

They ate our bungies. All four that spent time in the water were destroyed.

still it should be a pain in the ass to get a tuna with so many sharks there. as soon as you shoot they go for it .

WOW--I think that I would want to be back to back with another spearo AND wearing a shark suit.
Great video
Congratulations on some BIG tunas.
