Wild shot here, anyone here into game fishing aka traveling hours to sea and trolling, jigging, cubing, popping etc?
I'm into tuna and kingfish jigging... nothing like that power
 
Bloody oath mate, have caught tuna, marlin sailfish, love it!!! Even got a sail out of my tinny...My ultimate goal would be to get into some Marlin up to 1000lb
 
Yeah would love to do it, unfortunately i dont live close to where i can go or have a boat, although when i used to goto Cairns i used go out reef fishing and caught heaps.

Now i settle for river fishing in the Vic high country

Last year on a routine trip out of Sydney to Heaton's (4 Hours out to sea), after a solid day of no results, I hung up the jig and everyone prepared to bring in their pilchard cubes

No sooner had we been groaning about what a tough day it was, one of the reels starts taking line, then another.
Being awfully pessimistic, we were all exepecting small albacore tuna

But the line kept peeling off

Under heavy drag, one tuna popped off, and the other just kept on going!
We had barely any line left so began to chase the fish down.

Some 90 odd minutes into the fight, the reel handle snapped right off. This wasn't happening to us, well, this couldn't happen, right?
Wrong. Improvisations were made and after two more hours of manually putting line on the reel, only just outrunning death circles under wide open throttle, and everyone's balls retracting into their guts, we sunk a few gaffs into a 100kilogram Bluefin tuna - a fish you simply do not catch off of Sydney.
