My passions are the \u2018giants of the ocean\u2019 as well, and that is why I will visit you webpage more often in the future. Best regards from the Atlantic Coast of Canada, Thomas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Schmidt\u2019s webpage Tunaxxl.com has fascinated us right from the start. Stephan made contact with Thomas right away and all of this brought memories back of the good ole times when I fished for Tuna in the Mediterranean Sea. The catch report and the success of the Canso boats for the season of 2008, as well the article in the German magazine \u2018Fisch and Fang\u2019 took all of our last doubts away. To fight the \u2018bull of the ocean\u2019 one more time in my life, came pretty close again. All the catches are supervised under strong regulations by the Department of Oceans and Fisheries, as well ICCAT (International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna). Some of our friends were also interested in this trip. Finally three teams decided to face the hard fights and the fall weather of the North Atlantic: Heiko Steinmetz, Robert Rein, Stephan Kreupl, Stefan Mayer-Mendel and Peter Kaeppel. Also we organized with Thomas a TunaXXL competition. The angler that catches the biggest fish receives a trophy donated from Thomas \u2013 TunaXXL.<\/p>\n<p>Where is that new Tuna hot-spot located? Canso, Nova Scotia is located in the West part of the North Atlantic 45\u00b0 20\u2032 2\u2033 N, 60\u00b0 59\u2032 43\u2033 East Coast of Canada. \u201cFishing on the limit \u2013 just for the tough guys\u201d in top-notch fishing grounds. Even in the past the Mi\u2019kmaq Indians knew about the good fishing grounds in front of Camsoks (Canso).<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1815053153\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"312\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/a6dbe39419.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/a6dbe39419.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/a6dbe39419-500x310.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1815053153 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div id=\"c1442\" class=\"csc-default\">\n<p>The ocean in front of Canso is full of underwater mountains and reefs. The depths range from 20 meters to 200 meters in combination with the Gulf current that delivers warm water to this area and builds up a really good basic for underwater life. Every year big schools of mackerel, herring, and squid, arrive in the waters of Canso, and at the same time porbeagles, mako, blue sharks and tuna follow these schools of smaller fish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_472036376\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/b4e96c3612.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/b4e96c3612.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/b4e96c3612-500x360.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_472036376 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>We were not able to book our trip before June 2009 because of the complicated issues with quota and regulations for the official catching season. We started on the 23rd of September with Condor leaving Frankfurt non-stop to Halifax, Nova Scotia. An additional three hour drive with a rental, we finally reached our destination &#8211; Canso. After we moved into our cozy cabins, Thomas introduced us to the Skippers and Crews.<\/p>\n\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-4 medium-columns-3 small-columns-2 row-xsmall\" >\n  <div

The fighting chairs are even new for the skippers and crew onboard the boats. Before now they fought all the fish in the gimbal (swiveled rod holder) mounted on the side of the wash-board. The guys seemed really interested in our experience of fighting game fish stand-up, and in the chair.<\/p>\n<p>All of us were really excited and could not wait until the next day. The 24th was our first fishing day and also the start of the official 2009 Tuna season for Canso. The crews and the teams are as followed: Heiko Steinmetz on Papa Knot-T-Bouys, we were on Nautical Odyssey, and Stefan Mayer-Mendel with Peter Kaeppel on Irish Towner. The three boats and crews, have had the most successful catches in the last few years according to statistics.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1416863144\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/7cd847a569.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/7cd847a569.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/7cd847a569-500x358.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1416863144 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div id=\"c1451\" class=\"csc-default\">\n<h3>Our First Fishing Trip:<\/h3>\n<p>We met at 6:00 am with skipper Steve Meade (50) and crew member Donald Armsworthy (63) nickname \u2018Duck\u2019 at the boat. When we left the wharf it was still dark, and we headed towards the sunrise. On the way out we stopped to catch some fresh mackerels for bait. After intense searching of the surface, Steve gave the command to all of us \u2018Guys lets have a try!\u2019 The first mackerel was rigged up on the kite method. This method keeps the mackerel always close to the surface. (we want to explain this very fascinating method in more details in our second book of Bluewater Fishing. We even want to explain about finding the tuna with a fish finder and binoculars.) The second rod (called down-bait) is set up using a floating devise approximately 10 meters above the mackerel. Steve, Duck, Stephan and I, understood one another right from the beginning. Probably it was a coincidence or even Proteus that put a perfect fishing team together!?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-4 medium-columns-3 small-columns-2 row-xsmall\" >\n

One boil \u2013 The tuna attacks the mackerel at full speed, the release clip let the line go, the chafing gear that is connected to the rod took off with a big bang, and the line takes off in a hurry! After approximately fifteen minutes the tuna is on the boat. It\u2019s a \u2018small fish\u2019 with approximately 180 pounds. With much care, we released the 8-0 circle hook from the tuna\u2019s mouth. After this we towed the fish along side the boat for a short amount of time until he got his energy back enough to swim away on his own. On this day we caught three tunas between 150-200 pounds. All of the other boats are able to catch some tuna as well, but nothing bigger than 200 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>All of the other boats are able to catch some tuna as well, but nothing bigger than 200 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>Our moods are going down a little more as each day passes. Compared to the other years, we are higher in the amount of fish but considerably lower with the average fish weight. Having a big will to try and catch the big fish, we were the first to leave in the morning and the last to come ashore. The love for big game fishing and the never dying hope (the hope that the big fish will arrive) -pushes us out to the ocean day after day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1697653162\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/66d022f3b4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/66d022f3b4.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/66d022f3b4-500x313.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1697653162 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div id=\"c1451\" class=\"csc-default\">\n<div id=\"c1459\" class=\"csc-default\">\n<p>After the third day trip we have to take a break, the reason because of strong North West winds.

Without a warning we have a strong strike in the afternoon. Stephan is ready to take place in the fighting chair. After twenty-five minutes we land a beautiful Bluefin tuna and the crew guessed that it is over 500 pounds. At 5:30 pm the competition is over and Stephan is still number one. Stephan\u2019s fish was a little big short in length, that why he \u2018just\u2019 had 444 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening we had the award trophy and a nice get-together with great food. A real honor for us and the other anglers was a special guest Ken Fraser. Thomas invited his friend Ken to our get-together, and to hand the trophy to the award winner. Short information for people who don\u2019t know who Ken Fraser is: He is a Tuna fishing pioneer, and caught on October 26th 1979 the 130 lbs. IGFA line class World Record Bluefin Tuna weighting 1496 lbs. He was one of the most successful tuna skippers of the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-4 medium-columns-3 small-columns-2 row-xsmall\" >\n  <div

It seems like Steve has a mysterious feeling this morning, with a combination of a kind of nervousness. He said he\u2019s able to smell feeding whales and to locate them. He\u2019s pretty sure that when you find the feeding whales there is herring, and that means there are big tuna there as well. After a half an hour we are on the open sea and it is still dark. On the horizon the sun is coming up really slow and we are witnessing a really lucky moment.<\/p>\n<p>For us this was a magic fishing moment. At this moment Steve is operating the boat with just one foot, and the rest of his body hanging out the window with his nose stuck in the wind. Stephan and I were searching for birds and seals during this time, and suddenly Steve gave us the command \u2018Guys, eject the baits immediately!\u2019 We are right in the middle of a lot of seals and birds, and it seems like they are all waiting for something. The down bait is already out and we are just ready to set the kite. Not even twenty meters from the boat a seal is watching us, and he is swimming towards the down bait and starts diving. At the same time the floater goes down and the line starts to scream from the reel. Stephan looked at me and he gave me the chance to fight probable the last Bluefin for this year. I am sitting in the fighting chair and the fish on the other end is still taking line from the reel. I realized then what I have to do for the next hours. The first run the fish goes down deep and take a couple hundred meters of line. Just to get the chance to get some line back I have to puss the drag to a maximum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1315377063\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/66cd78918b.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/66cd78918b.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/66cd78918b-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/66cd78918b-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/66cd78918b-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1315377063 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div id=\"c1451\" class=\"csc-default\">\n<div id=\"c1459\" class=\"csc-default\">\n<p>As a well trained cyclist, I can handle this fish on 130 lb. gear pretty good. The only thing that makes me nervous is the 1.5mm mono leader and the small 8-0 hook. After 45 minutes the fish came to the surface for the first time but still approximately 100 meters from the boat. The boys were quietly whispering \u201cMaybe bigger than\u2026\u201d Every time when I had some line back, the fish would then take more off the reel. That procedure was happened about ten times. Finally the fish comes to the boat and starts circling; that\u2019s the dangerous part of a Bluefin fight \u2013 One little mistake the fish is diving under the boat! Steve is not only a professional with presenting the bait and finding the spots, he\u2019s also handling his boat with perfection. All of a sudden the fish comes up to the surface not even 5 meters away from the boat \u2013 it seems like he is tired out and ready for landing. Just another three times cranking the reel, and the job is done. We are overwhelmed with excitement to have the possibility to catch such a wonderful creature at the \u2018last minute\u2019. Back the harbor at the weigh station, the scale stops at 791lbs. In a hurry we head back to the cabin to pack our luggage and we are on our way back to Halifax airport. After three hours on the highway, a quick check-in, and another six hours later, we are safe back in Frankfurt, Germany.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-4
