A British Bluefin Tuna Adventure

[@kieranpyne3271]

Great potential there! I remember about 17 yrs or so hearing about a small blue fin tuna game fishing operation off the west coast of Ireland, targeting French patrons who might helicopter in to fish for them. I saw a small boat with a fighting seat in it which I was told was used for this purpose.The numbers are obviously up now!

Try a 480 lb marlin in 20ft seas 2 hrs of fighting

Bent butts on stand up rods? Not the best mechanical advantage.

I think, considering how new the tuna scene is to the UK this time around, Steve can be forgiven for a bendy butt.
