Big Tuna
 
You can see me get my butt handed to me by a big Tuna in Panama in this, now on line, segment of The Kayak Fishing show.

All I can say is :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy: . You are the tuna Kahuna. Maybe you should have clipped your drift chute to your gaff before you stuck him :D:D.

Wow - what a battle.
That was a stout tuna, I'm sure your arms were dead after 3 hours.

Jim, when are you going to post the audio of Ken and I razzing you for taking your time? :)

It was great to have a front row seat to your hours of suffering. At the end you were running on willpower alone - inspiring.

Photos: the sun was setting when Jim landed the fish, so the post-catch shots weren't as strong as we'd have liked.

j mo 06-11-2010 07:55 AM

It was amazing to see after 3 hours on the line how much gas that fish had left at the gaff
