Capt. Bob Cook - "Tuna Pizza"


Listen Later

Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!

On this episode we sit down and share fishing stories, some good laughs, and a ton of great knowledge with Captain Bob Cook of Fat Tuna Charters .

Bob has been fishing the Northeast waters for over 25 years and he has experience lobster fishing, gill netting, commercial sword fishing, and currently specializes in bluefin tuna fishing commercially and with charter clients. He is a very passionate and competitive fisherman which translates to  him and his crew ranking amongst the top tuna fishermen in New England.

Over the past several years, Bob and his crew have been featured on National Geographic's Wicked Tuna, aboard their 40' Duffy Fat Tuna. Not only is Bob an established fisherman, he is also a successful entrepreneur. He currently owns a very popular pizza restaurant on the North Shore of Massachusetts (Little Italy in Beverly, MA) and he has several other "irons in the fire" in terms of business endeavors.

We really enjoyed this conversation with Bob. It was nice to talk tuna fishing on a cold winter's day. There is a lot of technical fishing info shared in this episode and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did!

Topics Covered:

  • Making the perfect pizza
  • Our favorite areas to giant tuna fish
  • Circle hooks vs J hooks
  • Fishing pet peeves and superstitions
  • Hypes and gripes of having cameras on the boat
  • Bob's fishing mentors
  • Scary experiences on the water
  • Bluefin migration facts and theories
  • Adjusting baits for "no bite" marks
  • Rigging and fishing a kite for giant bluefin
  • Bob's new boat build (42' Mussel Ridge)

Stay Tight,
The Sears Brothers
