BKK x Shimano x Théophile Gonet: The Tuna Dreams

Tuna fishing-one of the most thrilling and powerful games in the world of sports fishing. Known for its challenge and intensity, this sport is highly regulated and revered by enthusiasts. While France may not be as famous for Bluefin Tuna as the Mediterranean, the Atlantic coast, especially around Brittany, witnesses these majestic creatures as they migrate from the Mediterranean to the North Atlantic. The Tuna Fishing demands not only the most durable and reliable fishing gears but also resilience from the angler.
Join Théophile Gonet (@thefrenchfisherman) BKK and Shimano (@shimano_france_fishing) ambassador, in an exclusive video where he takes you deep into the world of tuna fishing, his unwavering bond with the sea, and the journey that’s shaped him.
"I started fishing for tuna when I was just ten years old with my father. Together, we discovered the magic of the ocean. What I seek now are solo battles-man versus fish, especially with spinning gear. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills, trained, persevered, and now, it's almost as if I’m the one taking my father out fishing. In France, we’re fortunate to have some of the best tuna fishing spots in the world, especially on the Atlantic coast. Fish here can range from 6-8 lbs to giants weighing 400, 600, even 800 lbs-and sometimes even bigger. Casting for fish of that size is a real possibility." Théophile.
