From the pic you sent over the phone all one could see was the tail and I took it for a mackie not a tuna.
Congrats to Alex on nearly getting it in, well he did all the hard work!!

that is a great effort there
that is a great effort there Alex.you held onto that one for an hour. thats a lot longer than a lot of others could. to get it on 6kg line thats a fantastic capture, ok you had help but the first hour you tired the fish out
. bet you never thought you would get a tuna bigger than your brother

Awesome Capture
Great fish on light tackle. Congrats to the young lad. I'm guessing that there isn't too many sharks about up there at the moment.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Top work Lil fella. Life
Top work Lil fella. Life must be tough up there for ya Jeffo. Nothing better than taking the young fella's fishing and seeing their faces light up.

Good onya Alex, you'll be
Good onya Alex, you'll be setting your sights on marlin soon, if you can handle a tuna like that you will be all over a small billfish. Your PB is now better than mine mate. Top stuff.
Definitely a few photos for the family album guys. Axel looks stoked too.
