Catching 80 pound bluefin tuna on 40 pound test line!

On board the Royal Polaris out of Fisherman’s Landing. Hooked this fish on 40lb flyline.

Nice catch! Show the fish being decked with smiles and rods/reels. I love my Avet's also.

Thank god for low gear 🤪 I will upload the short of the fish coming over the rail

[@Diamondthefisherman]

Wow what kind of 40lb was this? Also did you use mono top shot?

[@Kuech]

Izorline XXX Super Co-Polymer. There’s about 8 feet of Yo-Zuri 40 lb spectra on the end of the mono that is double uni’d on so the fish aren’t line shy.

@@Kuech wow nice so braid to 8 feet of xxx Izorline and no fluoro leader?

[@Kuech]

@@Diamondthefisherman my bad, spectra base, couple hundred feet of mono, fluro leader, not spectra.

[@Diamondthefisherman]

@@Kuech that makes sense thanks!! Do you use Seaguar blue label?

[@Kuech]

@@Diamondthefisherman all of the fluro that I’ve used is Yo-Zuri
