Hi everone.
Went for a fish to Browns yesterday, caught these 3 fish.
The Gemmies on squid fished off the bottom and the bft was caught
on a half pilly floated down the cube trail.
The bft weighed in at 70kg and was 165cm long and fat as a barrel,
took us over 2hrs fighting him to bring him in.
cheers

The pic of the tuna in the bath tub is a corker ! I've just got back from catching a few Longtail tuna about 1/10th that size, bet you've got some sore muscles after fighting that beast
There are some big Fish about at the moment especially in the Port, one bloke caught 4 decent sized Jeweys the other night within a period of 15 minutes.
love the bath tub shot! Nicest meal I ever had was a a seared rare tuna steak marinated in thai spices before cooking. Mouth is watering looking at your big lump of tuna steak!

Great fish
What type of rod and reel combo did you use to get him in?
He was caught on 24kg mainline, off a Shimano Tyrnos 30 II reel on a
fully rollered Shimano Backbone Elite rod. We had bigger outfits in use
but the tuna took a liking to this combo.
The last ones we got were Northern Longtail from Steep Point and we had sushimi and then I smoked some and we made curry out of the rest.....
Yours is a thumper
We spun ours up off the rocks on 15kg...
What did yours go on the lie detector ?
Nice fin you got there. My stomach doesn't it like it out there.
The local radio reports of some whopper caught off Bermagui. A couple of Oz recorde breakers.
Top score again Penguin nice blue for sure, there are a few good fish this season and thats one of them, we missed this year down here (the first in years) just no flamin time and I cant belive the season has come and gone so quick!
