Ironman of Tuna Fishing

[crazywalrus]

these guys were bred tough. They would not have needed a chummer if Dazza was onboard :whistle:

That's a lot of Tuna in 10 minutes

That's awesome, especially around the 5 minute mark, the little ones have gone and they start landing some monster tuna.

Some cool tricks to keep em feeding near the boat too, although I would think that's a lot of burley needed if we tried that

There's nothing like man's Belligerent raping of the ocean..

Was cool after the 5 minute mark but the first half was a bit sickening.

I was impressed by the wearing of military helmets. Also the way they shot the shark rather than ballooning it :whistle: (just jokes)

I don't get how they just un hook em in the air, what hooks are they using ?

[fishingnut]

And 2 blokes swinging in the same fish ?

I reckon the voice over makes the whole thing. Should be smoking Marlboro and drinking VB while watching this one. Classic.

Incredible stuff. I have read of these with 2 3 and 4 guys working a single jig becasue the fish were that big but never seen any footage. 50's or 60's I'm guessing?

360 ton of line (can ya call it that) caught fish for one boat, ~ 325 000kg

This is the jigs they use for poling.

Normally they tie feathers on them like a big fly.
