Popping for Bluefin Tuna (9kgs) off the Rocks in WA

Apologies for the poor sound quality my little digital camera picks up an awful lot of wind noise. This was the only bluefin capture I succesfully managed to film completely. I "beat" fish in the 20 - 25kilo bracket only to have the bronzies and tigers rip them to shreds right at my feet. They left me with this fish however who hit me out of the blue (excuse the bad pun) between some lovely shark mackerel catches... an easy catch in comparion to the bigger bluefins who were 3 times this size!

To the fools and oxygen starved this guy is for real I met him and shook his hand, I passed on some rigging tips and tricks when he passed through my town.

The fish is not moving because it is spent they fight to the bitter end and it is a top effort to subdue them on the gear he had.

RIP to a top bloke
