Last week i was luckily enough to be able to have a week off work and even luckier to spend my time at Eco Beach realxing, eating, Drinking and fishing land based and out of barraddict with Kurt.
We ended up with a heap of fish and i will post a report with pictures but i wanted to share my first tuna.
I landed this one on a Daiwa Certate 3000 loaded with varivas 20lb, a Lemax Black Rose and a Maria Bullchop. Litte can i say it was an epic sight seeing the surface strike and then having the pleasure to walk around the boat, get around the 4 or so grey suits awaiting an easy meal and get it in the boat. As you can see by my facials it gave me hell both in and out of the water.
