Sunshine Coast Yellowfin Tuna Surprise : Kayak Fishing

A morning that was full of surprises off Sunshine Beach - Daniele and I stumble on a patch of Yellowfin tuna very close to shore and then the fun begins when we both have a nightmare with our gaff shots!

Another gaff gone. Hahaaaa! I wonder if roping the gaff to the bow of the yak would work or putting a float on it. Great fish though. Feel pretty bad for Daniele.

Thanks mate - yep was pretty tense there for a bit, made a meal of it..funny how quickly a process that we do so easily and without drama goes out the window when you see a fish of a lifetime!
