As is the way while Nic, Jaxon and Indi are away the fishing time must be maximised.
The boat was already in the water so after work we went out for an afternoon/sunset fish. First fish onboard was a 5.5kg Albacore Tuna. Not a bad start at all.
Not long after we saw a large flock of birds working the surface and we went to try and catch ourselved a yellowfin tuna. It didn't take too long for one of the rods to burst into action with line screaming off. Pony eventually got the rod out of the rod holder and started what became an awesome battle.
There were no tears but I'm sure Pony was ready to give up more than once.
Unfortunately it wasn't the yellowfin that we were after. It ended up being a 100kg+ shark that must have been feeding on the tuna school. Either way it was a great fish and was released in the water to annoy us again another day.
By the time the shark was released the tuna had disappeared so we headed back to the reef and trolled hoping to get a wahoo. Didn't take too long and we were hooked up. Scott's turn to wind in a fish a shortly after we had our first Dogtooth Tuna in the boat. A nice fish at over 12kgs. A great afternoon on the water.
