Canaries? Azores? Ascension Island?
I really would be guessing but I CAN see why they are trying to keep the location secret..
It could well be easily accessible, there is a fraternity of hard core tuna anglers worldwide that would decent upon that spot en masse if they found out where it was! :)

The lad in the video doing the fishing didnt want them revealing his location. I can understand the big deal

Doubt if it is the Canaries as they are Frigate birds in the video and I have never sen them there. Not saying they are not there just that I have never seen them.
Live out on the beautiful Beara Peninsula. Always willing to assist visiting anglers.
