saw a few tuna around the boat last night so i quickly made up a rig out of whatever i could find
handline, tuna circle, bit of old rope, and a couple of ball sinkers
i missed the first few hookups but hooked up on this one nice and solidtook about 10 minutes to land, i wiehged it this morning it was 25kg and this was one of the smaller models there were a few 40 - 50 kg ones swimming around but couldnt get them to hit the lure.
family will be eating well for a while, will make a good swap for hm at christmas time i think

Good work on the DIY lure
And solid tuna!!
Ive made a few productive skirts out of red chemical gloves before. Mainly scored longtails with them.
