Big Tuna Walk Through Video by Drew Gregory | May 18, 2012 | Big Tuna, Fishing, Freshwater, Freshwater Fishing, Saltwater Fishing, Video, Video | 10 comments The Big Tuna walk through is finally here! We’re super excited to share this boat with you because it is truly one versatile craft. Whether you use it to fish, hunt, scuba, snorkel, go crabbing, lobstering, general recreation or guide from, we think you’ll see why the Big Tuna is so highly anticipated. The boat boats over 110 seating combinations between 1, 2, 3 or 4 people! The “Tuna Tank” is another cool feature that allows you to have a live bait well right in between your legs (where it should be) that requires no electricity or plumbing. There is only one instruction on how to make it work – put your Big Tuna in the water! Enough of this reading, maybe you should just watch the video!

Thanks. Reply Drew Gregory on June 21, 2012 at 5:42 pm Hey Mike, we’re working on some stuff like this right now so stay tuned!

Reply ron on May 22, 2012 at 1:12 am I got my big tuna! put it in humboldt bay. great boat. if you are a malibu xfactor owner you will notice the tuna tracks and paddles faster. It does wobble more then the xfactor, but you have a couple different configurations with the big tuna. I really like it and plan to fish two out of it this coming weekend offshore. I will post again. Thanks Jacksons Kayak! Reply Berry Lane on May 23, 2012 at 10:39 pm I love my Big Tuna, but am still trying to figure out the flexi brand dog leash for the anchor. I understand dropping, but how do you retract the anchor? Reply Brooks Beatty on May 24, 2012 at 3:47 am To retract the anchor you will need to disengage the dog leash so it is no longer in the locked position. Next, begin to pull the leash up by hand. As you pull the anchor towards you, the leash will retract back on its own. Pull the anchor up until it is in a safe position, free of snagging anything in the water. As always, be very mindful of when/where you drop anchor in moving water. Reply Stephen Smith on June 1, 2012 at 7:14 am Casting stand for fly fishing? Handling in the Ocean and in/out of surf. The live well seems like it would interfere with standing? Reply James McBeath on June 19, 2012 at 12:07 pm Stephen, I fly fish with all our kayaks, some have hooks in the wrong place, but I use unicell foam as stoppers. The Big tuna has ample room either side of the well actually, so works well. In solo position your line drops in front of it where there is little to get caught up on, so that works. Ocean and surf are typically more about your comfort and skill set. Boats will never auto surf, but if the skills are there to handle the type of surf you’re going to be exposed to, the Big Tuna does well. It is a bigger boat, so breaking out is fine, surfing in is where the skills come in. Reply Justin on July 19, 2012 at 5:03 am I noticed when you were showing the different depths for the live well there was water under your white painted container. How many gallons of space is filled under there? I’m an ocean fisherman and frequently have to paddle through gnarly beach break. Thanks Reply Sean on July 23, 2012 at 3:45 am When you change the big tuna with a rudder to the solo position, how are the cables effected and how do you adjust them? I have one on order and that is the only thing I’m not sure about. Reply Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
