800lb giant blue tuna safely released. We fished 4 days straight but only hooked up two fish. I landed this giant on our custom build Ghost Hunter Giant blank. This year is the first time I used bent butt, it really helps the angler. Greg hooked up his fish on third day but line dig in popped 200ln JB hollow line.
It was frustrating as we marked so many fish and they don't want to byte!
Tackle used:
Jigging World Ghost hunter Giant Blank.
Okuma Makaira 50 Special Edison w/JW Power Handle
JB 200lb white Hollow core
75 feet momoi 200lb wind-on(made by me^^)
25ft Seaguar Blue label Fluorocarbon.

WOW! is right.....that fish barely fits on my 2 - 27 and 23 inch side by side monitors!
Can't imagine the workout. Fish finders are good that way--showing you the fish down below that you aren't catching. ::) ;D
Beautiful Big Blues!
Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Very nice! Wish our tuna grew that large.
Wow, that's crazy! Was there a point where you just didn't want to do it anymore, lol? There's just something about tuna that I always been fascinated with.
