As reported in the local newspaper "The Standard", the tuna are in close and are biting! I went out Sunday and Monday, approx. 25kms out from Port Fairy, one of the crew fought with a monster tuna, after a 2 3/4hr fight and many runs, he broke the line and made his break for freedom. Although we were able to get him close to the boat a couple of times, this fish was estimated by our seasoned skipper to be well over 140kgs and at least 7ft long.

I have never seen anything like it before, it was such an adrenaline rush and being the "gaff man" I was able to see this monster up close.

The seas were so calm, almost like glass, and the feeding frenzy of the birds and seals was a spectacle itself to watch.

I highly recommend going out if you get the chance to, for me, this chance doesn't come very often and I would like to thank the skipper of this boat and fellow crew for inviting me along.
