Very easily mistaken for a
Very easily mistaken for a Yellowfin..
But it's not, yellowfin are thicker through the shoulders and when they are young they will have distinct vertical lines down the body..
That tuna is a mature sized northern bluefin...

cheers for that mako, i can see the difference more clearly now!
ive caught an (actual!) YFT about 12kgs or so before from kalbarri a few years back, which is why i was also initially questioning whether it was a YFT or not.
looks like im gonna have to go back up there to catch one again to see for my self :P

Yep
