Big Land Based Tuna On INCREDIBLY Light Tackle!!
Big Land Based Tuna On INCREDIBLY Light Tackle!!
What an incredible moment in time this was. My first longtail tuna!!!
The odds of that little school of tuna coming so close for me to cast at them. To then getting a topwater eat from one. A 25 minute fight later on a bass rod and it was landed. Exactly 1 meter, and weighed 8.4kg.
This memory and the video behind it will be with me for life!!

I have NEVER seen such a meritorious capture on such light tackle from the rocks. Ninety Nine out of a Hundred anglers would have either been spooled, broken or chaffed off. The manner in how you managed your rod and reel by turning the fish to where you wanted to play it out and change direction to suit you was just amazing. Josh I have said it before but your productions and skills are amazing. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video.

oi u should come one down to tassy and go for some tuna
Definition of “well played” , alot of anglers would of not managed to land this! Amazing work mate
Awesome capture mate. A memory that will last a life time. I am 61 now and still remember when I caught a 72Kg yellow fin tuna off the rocks at the Blow Hole at Kiama, back in the day when you could catch them off the rocks. I still remember that moment to this day like it was yesterday. One thing I would like to see you do thought Josh is start wearing a life jacket and proper rock fishing shoes when fishing from the rocks. Glad you are feeling better and making more vids, keep up the great work mate.

if i had a time machine i would go back in time just to fish big stuff out of the rocks its kinda sad how my uncle used to catch octopus same size as him like 30 years ago just inshore now when i go to that place its just some small saddled breams .
That tuna made you work so hard but you never gave up. That was insane! Well done mate 👏

You went above and beyond to land that Tuna. It takes great skill to do what you did. It was always going to take awhile but you handled it admirably by tapping into your fishing bag of tricks particulary feathering the bale arm. A Meritorious capture.😃🤙🎣👌
Awesome job 🎉
