Trip Summary

Emily and Nico who are enjoying there belated honeymoon came for our evening tuna trip. Within half an hour we had a massive strike and Nico took the chair. Clipped in and fighting a fish…. Unfortunately 4 minutes into the fight the took a turn and a big run and the fish snapped off. Reset and lines back out 10 mins later bang another strike and the biggest run ive seen for a while. Almost soooked out we started backing down and this time it was Emily in the chair. Supporting her through it and a fight if an hour and 15mins she landed a fantastic 230lb yellowfin tuna. Girl power well done emily you were amazing. ?
