What type of Tuna is this?
Submitted by Industrymanboy on Thu, 2013-08-22 13:37
I caught this tuna a little while ago off Carnarvon. I am not 100% sure what species of Tuna it is.
Either way it was fun to catch and release!

I think they are an inshore
I think they are an inshore species? Never caught one longlining offshore that I recall.
With all these species, bigeye, SBT, yellow etc-the smaller they are, the harder to tell apart even in the flesh
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
