[@YouFishTV]

PART 2 linked above as video response. Sorry the delay but we finally mangaed to save the file from an old drive.

[@andrewdnoble]

Great fight! Gotta love light tackle... What rod is that? What size stella?

[@YouFishTV]

Yes part 2 is scheduled for upload, the reason iy hasnt been done already was the computer that made series 3 died

[@harryh27]

Is the 2nd half of this video coming ?

[@tacticaloutdoors858]

great video, What kind of rod is that?

[@YouFishTV]

Part 2 will be up by end of 2011.

[@joeyjimenez1747]

what kind of rod was that matched up with the stella

[@djdanzy]

winga id like to know your knot your using for this mate?

[@andrewlinesjah4538]

I watched the second vid where you landed the fish gaffing it . I must admit I would never have gaffed or killed it .

[@EduschEdek]

blame the trailers and longliners. Nevertheless fantastic fishing mate, love your vids. Amazing catch with the minimum strength of gear, love that kind of angling. Sadly I'm just able to fish in our boring fresh waters. Would love to visit new zealand some day to catch a big gt. Until then my stella is supposed to stay in the vitrine. Greetz from germany

[@mosesgtfly]

its 2012, anychance you could chuck up paart 2?

[@djhinormas]

what lb braid is on it and what u use for a leader?

[@brayddn52]

That's a right handed reel though

[@yeahwaffle]

why does it take 1 year to put up part 2?

[@Shiro69420]

Did anyone realize the rod changed colors

[@tonyel120]

can you tell me a good offshore fast taper rod

[@refusekevin]

what rod do you use？

[@MohamedibnFarook]

What kind of reel is that?

[@tommyphuc3]

what kind is that line?

[@TheBBoyNathan]

power pro?

[@turner593]

Why does the capt drive away from the fish i mean keep a bit of tension on him but thats rediculous either that or he doesnt like the guy playin the fish .

[@Manoware1985]

Reel size?

[@Rhino1974]

Bring on part 2

[@AimForTheTeeth]

@Dreegogary sw is the tougher reel in my experience but either way you go you can't go wrong

[@andrewlinesjah4538]

Listen mate , the handle is reversible , if not - Get another reel ! Secondly , if line capacity is in question - Van Staal offers best weight and size to line capacity ratio ! Also larger Stella's can be employed for greater line capacity with smooth drag , much smoother than Van Staal which has a sticky drag that can tell on the hook ! Good to see Spinning Reels in action ! Tell us what reel was being used to land this fish ?

[@OPTIMUS6LTR]

@tacticaloutdoors858 looks like a JigWrex to me

[@YouFishTV]

PROVE IT.

[@boomsoon86]

From 7:40 to 8:00 you can really feel the tension this guy is having on being on these fishermen's boat. I dont think they liked you on their boat, man.

[@clify100]

how many big tuna have you caught?mate a tuna that size is obviously goin to strip 400 without even raising up a sweat,seasoned bluefin tuna anglers using 37kg game tackle get blown away and i mean clean spooled by fish that size.so dont think tightening the drag is goin 2 ruin the fight if anything they only run harder.

[@goodride2004]

lmao left handed reel, you can put the handle on the other side mate!!

[@Gersub]

FANTASTIC !!! VIDEO ...huau !

[@MrJoeman111]

Part 2 Please

[@YouFishTV]

LOL. I said prove it. I didnt say sit on your arse and quote some propoganda estimate from google or some agency with an agenda. Mate the data being qouted is old and wrong. We are the front line, wer are out there, the SBT is back in such a big way its bloody ridiculous out there. Tens of thousands of Tonnes of junior and adult SBT are frerquenting off Southern Australia with schools over 1000 miles long. None under commercial pressure in Vic or Tas. Get out there get a clue.

[@jimquantic]

I hope this and other videos get it out of people's minds that 'coffee" grinders are better and more able, than ever before. Mine has 65 pounds plus of drag, think about that.

[@CHALIF1000]

I LIKE IT ...

[@bassist862]

if they are so critically endangered then why is fishing for them still allowed?

[@alexkwanc]

tresse

[@tomhas5]

fuck me that WAS AWESOME!!!!! im not going fishing for whiting anymore, this is rely the final frontier of fishing :)

[@chrismarincas3960]

googans who trolls with a spinning reel

[@azilasalam9413]

Wow😀😀

[@djhinormas]

p.s awsome stuff guys

[@cook4andy]

you let them run for a fun fight you prolley have no fun

[@barrybongers8288]

20000

[@TheRogerronaldo]

you dont tighten the drag as the fish if going! you ruin the fight! you have to set up your drag for the tuna so that its even.. if you tighten the drag too much for the fish to handle than thats just like cheating. oh and dont tighten it too much you you will snap your line.. in true prospective the tuna won and would of spooled you.

[@kampoe7500]

id love to eat that on a sandwich

[@R_Polly]

Bring on part 2
