Hi there,

Well we go down to the fishing deck we dont use spinners as these fish are on the surface,the only time when we do use spinners is when its not good fishing,we get a broom stick cut it off about 8 inches and driil a hold throught he middle we put a welding rod throught it put on some swivels and some white paint,then tie a line to it and throw it out as for as you can...when retriving it pull as fast as you can and the tuna hit it every time.....

 

[dalkill]

what do you do if you hook a tuna about 50kg on that hand line.

THose okes on ESA hit some of that with the rod and reel, and they white knuckled them good.

Do you guys fish with welding gloves or something

 

[Wayne]

Oh Yes!!!!! 

We use hand gloves and some times when that Tuna takes of the smoke comes off those gloves.... LOL

bru, that is so hard core. unreal. i spoke to a guy last week who is a top tuna angler and he reckons fresh tuna ain't the best. he explained how they bleed the fish by poking just behind the pectoral fin, then they lop off a piece of it's forehead and ram a rod stright down it's back to paralyse it and bleed it further (they call this reaming). it then gets chucked into an ice slurry. this all happens before the fish is even lifted onto the boat! he reckons, and he backed it up with a tasting session, that the tuna fillet must be in your fridge for at least4 days, preferably a week before you sashimi the thing!

 

[Wayne]

Thats right bru we dont ream it,we just cut it and bleed it,,,then to the gally cut into fillets and chowed 24hrs later......LEKKKKKEEEERRRRR!!!!!!

Sick stuff Wayne!! I can only imagine how you must get klapped on hand line by Tuna!

We used to catch small Kingies in the Caymans on Hand lines at night, and even a 2 or 3 kilo fish gives you and your hands a lekker work out... A 30 kilo Tuna must be a blast!!

 

[leonard williams]

yo that rigs fishing sounds kif,but not the hand line part

Volcom must be chomping at the bit to slide that little tunny!::H
