Caught this today out from Rotto

Its a Bluefin Tuna , hooked about four but only landed one

Nice mate! They go hard and its good to see a few swimming around! The pro's have hammered them over the years

How far behind rotto? Are you into sambo's and stuff?? Few of them being taken lately. Not to mention a few yellowfin and spainards off two rocks area!

I caught some mac tuna that size about 6 weeks ago and we ended up trolling them on 37kg gear for marlin! Make great swimming baits!

I thought this thread was about Stace, I like him more than fish.

Yo Feral! Nice fish dude.

Are you the "feral" on Hotbite.com.au?

yep that be me , went out today but swell was up over 3m so wasnt fun no birds hitting bait schools either , the other day matt had a few unstoppables through on 25kg braid and burnt drag washers on one reel and was thinking it may have been yellowtails , so next trip up to 60kg braid i go

Gotta love fishing mags and forums..

If your keen to hit the YFT, i know a few spots but off two rocks

Perhaps they coulda been massive sambos?

ALthough 50lb braid generally breaks a fair whack over it :O

Are you home on thursday / friday? the only days off i have for a while

My guess is if it swamm at 101000klm per hour it would of been big tuna but my guess would be a big sambo or YT king fish.

could also been shark. Lots of bitey's around at the moment due to lots of bait fish around like big schools of herring etc

gutted the tuna and had bits of bonito inside it , hmmm bigger baits needed
