Fantastic, getting more than us.The bluefin pushed too far offshore at our part of the coast, some never got a crack at them. Unfortunately they were in range of the foreign long liners though.

105 inches of shiny loveliness….

Snapped the rod after 30 mins, so the lucky angler kept going on tod and got it to the boat…

Was that a bit of high sticking or just a poor quality rod, bent butt rods make it hard for clients to high stick.  You would think the reels drag setting would stop any failure of the rod unless it was either of what I mention. Lucky it was an acid wrap or the line could of most likely broke where the rod had on the rough edge, which may of ended up with the fish dragging the teaser bar bar and line. 
Are you not using circles on the sharks, or did this one get a circle hooked deep somehow. 
Incredible to see watts on offer back there in terms of fishing.

No high sticking, I think the blank must of taken a knock at somepoint. 
 

Totally agree on the bent butt, easier on angler too…

The other 2 were a lot smaller so it’s amazing the different classes of fish that are running at the moment. Hopefully they hang around for the weekend…

Nice one, many sharks today?

8 blues to 100lb, then trolled for 10 mins and tuna on, about 600lb. Only had time to get 2 rods out…. Was hoping to troll deadbaits but no, didn’t get time. Was a 45min scrap on that one so ran out of time to get more as customer needed to get home to pick up his wife 🫣🫣🫣
