Bluefin Tuna Popping - What lure we use + fighting a giant! (Popping para atun rojo)

Popping in the Strait of Gibraltar is an incredible experience. Watch this video taken on board the Exodus when we hooked a 70kg bluefin tuna on relatively light gear!
We also give you a close look at the lure we used and a strike using that lure on board our sister boat Aria Tuna Fishing (find them on instagram!).
The ensuing fight lasted for 49 minutes leaving pretty much everyone on board drained!
