110lb YELLOWFIN TUNA on a KAYAK | My DREAM fish!!
This fish has been a 3-year dream in the making. I've spent countless hours, pedaling hundreds of kilometers chasing this species of fish. And at last, the moment has arrived - on Saturday, 30 November 2024, I landed a 110lb/50kg yellowfin tuna on my kayak. These fish aren't overly common in New Zealand, travelling down our coastlines for briefs periods during the year. When I heard they were being caught off the Bay of Islands, of course I had to have a crack. A 4am start, and 4 hours of pedaling later, and the rest is history. Enjoy!

MASSIVE 44.2kg / 97lb Grouper (Bass) from a Kayak - It took two of us to pull it on board!
Переглядів 3,1 тис.9 місяців тому
On Saturday I landed one of my proudest catches to date - a 44.2kg bass. These fish are typically caught in depths of 200-350m, meaning the chances of catching one on a kayak in New Zealand are exceptionally slim. However, that challenge is what excites me about game fishing from a kayak! I've spent countless hours on the water targeting hapuka and bass and returning home unsuccessful. However ...

From the lifejacket at the start, the rope coming off twice around the tail the fishing thrashing nearly tipping you out of the boat to sharks… holy heka How you never lost that fish is beyond me?I’m never buying a kayak ever…but a great watch mate, hats off to you and what you do.
