Giant Bluefin Tuna ~ 400lbs German (and Polish) Giant
A fine giant bluefin fought standup on a Penn 50 (light tackle).
The German and Polish crew braved the day after a hurricane for their bluefin tuna fishing charter.
They landed this giant bluefin on light tackle in a two-hour battle using our Smiitty and OHO fighting belts.
We look forward to fishing with these guys again, when they return for their free trip. Tuna Hunter charters that land a giant bluefin get a free next tuna trip - see our Fishing Charter Rates page for more details.
Giant Bluefin Tuna ~ 700lbs November Giant
We call this giant bluefin Karen's Tuna.
Note the attire … rumor has it the leggings attracted this November fish.
While most boats were on land winterizing, Tuna Hunter Captain and mate Karen ventured out on a gorgeous November afternoon. This was the only fish Karen ever got - and will ever get to - yell at the Captain (REEL!)
(In case you're wondering, no, she did not swim this fish to the boat - that's a striped bass trick)
The Littlest Giant ... Bluefin
This giant bluefin was fought and landed on light tackle, standup!
This giant bluefin - 74inches - was headed for the charter's cooler, when Captain Gary
ordered mate Jack to hold off on gaffing the fish until he could be measured. Saleable bluefin must be gaffed and handled carefully to avoid injury to valuable meat. No worries, that charter went home with plenty of tuna steaks.
Midsummer Giant Bluefin Catch
This 800-pound giant proved a worthy fight for all on board!
All looks quit now, but it was chaos landing this beast who circled, dove, rzigged and generally gave us a run for it. An awesome, worthy beast for sure.
700 Pound Giant Bluefin
A 700 pound fattie at the buyer's dock.
Next stop, ice bath, then she's on her way to Japan.!
Hauling 900 Pound Giant Bluefin Aboard
Hauling a 900+ pound bluefin aboard takes muscle and careful maneuvering to avoid damage ot the fish.
All hands are busy ensuring this bluefin is safely on board, via Tuna Hunter's block and tackle installed specifically for this purpose.
TUNA HUNTER was built for tuna fishing, by tuna fishermen ( Captain Gary included). She has many features geared and adjusted specifically for giant bluefin tuna fishing and handling.
