A little raw footage from last season. Few more months and were rolling. Cold winter usually means good bait, hard charging in ‘26 🫡
*sorry to whoever was calling 😝

72” bluefin — dehooked and ready for the next one.
This is where other dehookers bend and snap.
That’s the difference.

Allison tuna. In the Northeast Canyons. On a Popper.
@cardrok has a way of making magic happen offshore by combining new-age technology, with old-school instincts, and a love of all types of fishing.
He shared some of his insights from his decades of fishing out of New York on the latest episode of the OTW Podcast, live now.

Looking back on some more Five Seas memories, this past season may have been the best. 6 overnight canyon trips yielded 51 Bigeyes, 219 Yellowfin, 1 Swordfish and a few Marlin. The water setup beautifully for the eastern boats, and everyone had great shots of fish all season. Alexa Ann had north of 60, Hot Potato, Scylla, Two Docks, and Sheepdog all putting up lifetime bigeye numbers this season.
With this awesome fishing we were able to try out some new things and Omni Popping was born. The way the schools of fish were spread about 10’-40’ below the surface, we were able to sneak up on them using the sonar and strictly fish poppers from the bow. It was deadly for us this season and accounted for a bunch of big Yellowfin and Bigeyes on spin gear. The bites were instant and ferocious, something I’ll never forget.
Can’t wait to keep dialing this in in the future and pushing the limits of spinning gear in the Northeast Canyons.

Raging 400-900lb Giant Bluefin never gets old. Have to share one more clip of the “fish tank” off New York. Going to miss this boat, it was an epic run. Enjoy!

After 10 unforgettable years running the Five Seas, the program is unfortunately coming to an end. The owner has decided to sell the boat, and with that, an incredible chapter closes.
I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to @alsebag and his family for the opportunity and the trust over the past decade. From the eastern Bahamas to the canyons, it was a great run of fishing that only seemed to get better with age. We built something special — great fishing, strong friendships, and memories that’ll last a lifetime.
I am looking ahead to the next chapter of my career, and am exploring and weighing new opportunities. Gracious for those of you that have reached out already.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting some of our best Five Seas memories from the past 10 seasons; like the one above.
To everyone who fished with us, the companies and sponsors that supported us, and all the lifelong friends I’ve made along the way, thank you. Truly.
Here’s to the 2026 inshore season being full of giant bluefin losing their marbles, multiple hookups, and more slow-mo back breaking memories 💥 #pelagicworldwide #shimanofishing #cortlandline #bluefintuna #tunafishing
15’ Tiger Shark took the motor off a Bigeye tuna 200nm east of Long Island, NY. 4.9/5 on a wolfpack of Bigeyes for a 5 man crew 💥 #tunafishing #sealife #tigershark #fishing #bigeyetuna
Peak fishing stoke right here. Roasting 45kts to the feed of the year, and they stay “up”. 🤤
This big Bluefin foamer on bunker lasted over an hour and resulted in 15 hookups with fish to over 80”, including this initial “quad”. Doesn’t get much better.

500lb Bluefin crushing bunker around the boat leads to some pretty sick footage. Posting the aerial view later this week💥 #giantbluefin #bluefintuna #tuna #bunker #menhaden #nyc #offshorefishing #atun #tuna #pelagic #slaynow #nyfishing #fishing
