jigging yellowfin - jigs and rigs
Luke Wyrsta:
Welcome KSONG,
Thanks for such an informative post.
Greg Burt:
Great info KSONG, you guys get some diversified catches in the US, the Tuna/Runboh pic in the post above was from one of Sami's [US Sami] Cape Cod trips, and well done on your Broadbill [2] on jig captures, the only ones I have heard of, I would say the 'Kiwi' Jiggers would be interested in that. Oh, and I also see you like fresh Calamari ;D
There are some Fiji threads/topics throughout the site that might be interesting to you, especially Sachin Chaudhry's.http://www.gtpopping.com/forum/index.php/topic,190.msg2071.html#msg2071

Thanks for your kind words. :)
Catching two swordfish on jigs on a single trip should be my highlight of this year.
I always envy 'Kiwi' jiggers as they can fish Ranfurly Bank, Three Kings Islands or giant bluefin tuna out of South Island. I might go back to NZ again next year to jig giant bluefin.
I had a chance to fight a giant estimated about 400 lbs on a jig for half an hour, but 100 lbs leader line was cut by the fin.
I think our group is going to have fun in Taveuni Island, Fiji if weather cooperates. :)

ksong, thanks for sharing your knowledge. It's great information for us guys who know nothing about it.
I can't see how you're ever going to top jigging up two swordfish. That is my dream fish. Jigging giant bluefin is going to be a completely different kettle of fish. Dave Irving was actually looking at trying this at some point as well. This would have to up there in terms of jigging captures if you can land on of these although I think a really big swordie would be the ultimate capture on jig.
Hope you have good weather at Taveuni. The fishing should be fantastic there.
Greg Burt:
Nice 300+lb YFT on Surface Bull.
