Chasing dogtooth tuna in Vanuatu

[Cor]

Jeez Cornelis - a 70kg yellowfin on a Tranx?!
That's epic.
I'd have to agree though, a boat would be required!
When the first one hit the PE3 gear, it felt like there was nothing I could do but watch the spool empty.
Was heartbroken when it broke off, but I focused on being grateful for even having the experience.
Next thing ya know, the universe gave me another shot...

Hey Daron, haven't caught up in ages - hope you've been keep well!
All the best lads

One thing I never understood with these fish is that when you hook them on the surface, they remain there for the duration of the fight.   When they come up to eat your bait, they take it and take of straight to the depth, you pull you behind off to get them up and then they see your face (or the gaff) and take of straight to the bottom again   you start all over.
