Thats a good catch but I seriously doubt it makes 300lb. I would have thought it might get to 200lb at best. The 3 photos I've attached are of me with my 1st yellowfin when I was young & keen and that went 135lb. The other is one caught by my mates and that went 195lb. Good video to watch anyway and thanks for posting it.:)

Top vid,

Yes, I must admit I have trouble with the 300 pound bit. While my only yellowfin tipped the scales at a mighty 20 pounds, at 300 it would have needed to be the size of two guys.

Cheers,

Dumb place to store that 2nd gaff - lucky he didn't get it in the shoulder.

Nice fish but.........

Let this be a lesson to all of us............ Kenny G is NOT good music to have in the background for anything other than an elevator.

Great fish (NOT 300 LB) crap camera work, stop stuffing around and gaff the thing already.
