What can I expect if I catch one?
Catching a Yellowfin Tuna is an intense, high-speed, drag-screaming battle that will test your strength, endurance, and gear. These fish are one of the strongest, fastest, and most sought-after offshore species in the Gulf of America. The average size is between 40 and 80 pounds. Yellowfin over 100 lbs is a serious challenge and a bucket-list catch!
Can you eat them?
Yellowfin Tuna is one of the best-tasting fish in the ocean. It has a mild, buttery flavor with firm, meaty texture, making it perfect for sushi, sashimi, seared tuna steaks, or grilled dishes. We will properly bleed the fish andmake sure it is kept cold immediately after catching for use in sushi or sashimi.
How far out do we need to go to catch them?
Yellowfin Tuna are a deepwater offshore species, meaning you’ll need to travel at least 50-100+ miles into the Gulf of Mexico to find them. They prefer deep blue waters with strong currents and are often found near oil rigs, deepwater ledges, and temperature breaks.
