Tuna Fishing on Prince Edward Island is Just Insane

This kind of fishing can get up close and personal, and the following video proves it.

Fishing charters around North America all know Prince Edward Island off Canada's east coast is known as the bluefin tuna capital of the world.

Blue-water fishermen from New York through Cape Cod, all the way north to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia know all about about eastern Canada's particularly special maritime province. Located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Prince Edward Island has maintained a reputation for having some of the world's finest tuna fishing for a reason.

You'd better be careful what line you're using in these productive waters, though. When you see the hookup here, you'll be reminded of how fast and powerful these huge fish can really be!

Here's what we're talking about:

What was better, the strike or the screaming drag afterward?

Here's a short list of the charters available to you if you're wanting to try: Tony's Tuna Fishing, North Lake Charters, Bruce Brother Fishing Charters, and MacNeill's PEI Tuna and Deep-Sea Fishing Charters.

When you see a giant bluefin tuna destroy live bait like this, it'll get your blood pumping for some of this action. Sportfishing has never been better and these incredible fishing grounds are waiting.
