There’s nothing like hooking up to an SBT… the rush and fighting power of these fish is amazing!
I love tangling with Southern Bluefin Tuna because they are big, fast and fiesty – the true athletes of the sea.
SBT are a precious and limited resource, so once you’ve enjoyed your interaction, release them carefully so they survive
I love fresh SBT – but look after that delicate flesh the second it hits the deck! Bleed and gut it then stuff it with ice to lower the core temp.
When you’re fighting a fish and you stop to rest, so does the fish – and that can lengthen the fight time.
If you’re going out to catch SBT, take the right gear. With super light tackle you have to fight them too long.
