Tuna Fishing Cape Town Style!!
« on: May 23, 2011, 11:46:43 PM »
21 May 2011
 
Nico came to visit us here in the Cape and the least we could do for him is to put him onto some fish!! :-) :-)
 
  What a way to start the day!! Being greeted by this MAGNIFICENT sunrise a few miles off Cape Point.
 
 
 
 
  Dawie posing with his biggest fish to date, a 29kg longfin.
 
 
 
 
  This personal best only lasted for a short while, as this lovely yellowfin decided to jump onto his bait.....
 
 
 
 
  Not to be outdone, brother Nico replies with this beautiful 55kg Yellowfin!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Fish of the day was an 86kg YF landed by Ryan, after a memorable battle!!  :happ: :happ:
 
 
 
 
  The crew posing with the beastie!!
 
 
 
 
 
  Final tally was a respectful 5 yellowfin and 10 longfin. Not too shabby for a days fun on the water........ :-) :-)

This is a first for me!! Check the second part at 3:23 (time). After Ryan tickled that YF with the gaff, that fish went ballistic and went airborne right next to the boat!! INSANE seeing a 55kg YF clearing the water that close to the boat!!

Miles, Nico and HT, awsome work there. Nico, glad the dry spell ended in the blood as you hoped it would.
 
HT clearly knows how to work a fish on the BM.  Very nice guys and miles, great footage. that jumping YF is awsome.

Miles and HT, what a wonderful day with you guys! The bum-harnness fishing thing is something different, but must say after using it once it was a pleasure!
 
Also, looks like I got the fight time totally wrong, I thought I pulled that fish in under 10 minutes, looks more like 14!
