Welcome aboard, Tower Tod.
As much as I love tuna jigging, I love king salmon jigging.
I went Langara Island off Queen Charlotte Island, BC 6-7 times and Kodiak Island, AK three times mainly for king salmon fishing, in addition to several other destinations in British Columbia and Alaska. I like mooching or trolling with cut-pug herring, but my favorite is jigging for king salmon.
As far as I know, you guys troll for albocore. But jigging can be very productive as longfins are very responsive to jigs. On the East Coast we catch bigger size albocore than on the West Coast.
I am not surprised you catch bluefin tuna there as bluefin can stay in cooler water. Cold water off Prince Edward Island in northern part of Canada is famous place to catch giant bluefin tuna in summer.
65 lbs albacore which is a trophy fish even here caught on yesterday's trip.
