Or for those of you who use the Imperial system of weights and measures that is about 200 pounds of hard fighting fish.
David went Tuna fishing on Saturday with a close family friend and his sons and they caught a 98 kilo Tuna. Here is a photo taken with Dave’s phone. My son is 6 foot 4 so that gives you an idea of how big the fish is. See those chomp marks near the Tuna’s tail? A Mako shark came up and had a bit of a nibble. Luckily the boys managed to land the Tuna before the shark came back for more. Well done lads!!!

Kelley @ Magnetoboldtoos last blog post..I guess I have that kinda face. Well I would prefer that to ‘unforgettable cause you were so fucking wild and bizarre and remember that time you peed in a field and it turned out to be a football oval with a wedding reception overlooking it. And they were toasting the bride?’
And delicious it was too. Absolutely delicious.
I cooked the rest of my bit this afternoon. Amy fought me for it tooth and nail. I think she’s eaten more of it than I have!

Blimey, you’ll get a few tuna mayo sandwiches out of that! It really was THIS BIG (holds out arms to signify fish of gargantuan proportions)

I’m absolutely amazed. How on earth did that happen? What bait did you use? What kind of boat were you on? How did David brace himself?
And how did he grow so tall? Or is it just the hair?
We wanna know!
AND… are you going to eat all that tuna or just hang the fish on your wall or what??

@ Mrs C. They went out on a charter boat specifically to catch Tuna. They had 6 or 7 rods set, all trolling lures. They hoped that a tuna would come up and chomp onto the lure. They were lucky enough to get a double hook-up and it took them nearly an hour and a half to land that tuna. They fought the other fish for the same amount of time but he spat the hook about 50 metres from the boat.
They all took turns winding the fish in.There were six of them on the boat. So they all shared the meat. David gave some tuna to his Nan and his sister and we have enough left for 6 or so meals. mmm tuna curry yum.
His hair makes him about 6 foot five lol…
What a ripper of a catch!
Congrats and yum 🙂
Keep sending him out and he can bring home the
baconfish instead 😉Jaynes last blog post..Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on June 2
