Went Jet-Skiiing yesterday, came back to the dock to find this young local lad and his dad who'd just returned from fishing with this 100lb+ Tuna. Took the lad over 3 hours to land.

Tuna in a whole state sells for $6.95 a lb here so that fish just paid for a few tanks of petrol for the boat !

Biggest Yellowfin I've ever seen, must admit.





This will give you an idea of scale..
