Hammer Smokin' Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Beauty Tuna. And I may say, great job taming it on that light spinning outfit. Do you mind me asking what size line / leader was used? Is low diameter braided line used, or standard mono? Flourocarbon leads? Great fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Dobyns Fury Rod/ Daiwa Saltist 3000 reel/20lb braid and 20lb leader. We use the same outfit for Spotty Mackerel and Threadfin Salmon. It doesn't put much hurt on a rampant Tuna however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under size for the species? Longtail Tuna migrate annually from New South Wales to Thailand and return back down. Thai fishermen net them in their thousands and sell them for the equivalent of $2 a kilogram. Just doing our little bit to see the species survive a little longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloppyJ Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 What an excellent first fish! I started taking my wife out on the boat with me so we could spend some more time together. Now she looks at me and tells me where we are going to be fishing that weekend. It's a great problem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
