Lordy but that is BIG gas-bottle of a tuna, Chris.

Still staggered that you hauled that out on a fly rod.

Superb, simply superb.


Any news on the DVD yet??

Chris,

That final shot, is one of the very best fishing photos, I have ever seen.....Still can't quite believe you managed to tame that brute with an SL7 reel....Your boat must have done one hell of a lot of chasing around

PS....If it had only been a BF, it would have paid for another 4 Christmas Island trips at least....Well done, a tremendous feat of angling for sure
