Monster Yellow Fin Toona caught off Geraldton...

Hi crew,

My mate Simon (Demo9pro) caught this estimated 40kg plus Yellow Fin Tuna trolling for Spanyard's 15 mile off the coast of Geraldton last weekend, lucky he was trolling with his Tiagra 50W.

Lure used - 2 m Halco Laser Pro (mulie pattern)

Enjoy the pics..

 

Cheers

Lloyd

Great work

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
