Large Yellowfin Tuna
Submitted by Catch 22 on Wed, 2007-12-12 16:21
Fred Slevec from Bunbury retuned from South Africa today with this picture of a really nice 60kg Yellowfin Tuna. It took 45 minutes to subdue on 80 pound stand up tackle. The skipper had forgotten the gimbal and harness at home and Fred had to fight it with the rod but in his groin!!! Needless to say, his left arm is now siezed!

Fred is a real tough guy for a man of 61. He is a seasoned fisherman and was applauded by all for landing the fish using no equaliser gimbal and harness.
