Tinny tuna again

 Out again on Sunday, pretty much the same as last week, troll in close for the Mackerel then out a bit deeper for tuna, heaps of flying fish around and found the bluefin in almost the same depth (17-20 meters) got another 1 each then headed back in due to the wind picking up and making it a bit uncomfortable.

Got shown the method Travis mentioned and they certainly bleed out quick.

 We did fillets for ours came out well, mate did steaks (which I prefer). We have frozen some, will tell you how they are when we eat it, we bled, gutted and put in an ice slurry ASAP after catching so hoping they'll freeze ok and not go mushy
