That is an awesome fish. 52 minutes of pure fish fighting skill. Steve tells me it weighed 19.5 kgs.

Now there's only one better waystart the day- and if the missus is n't on the bite, yer longtail there looks like a damn fine 2nd!
Good one mate- just out of interest, have you had any luck with Lazers or chrome slugs? The only Tuna I've caught (offshore Cape Town) was with a home made lure (stainless steel table-knife handle with a treble and swivel). Keen to get out and into the tuna this w/end.
Congrats again !

Great fight and feed but catching and chasing those bloody longies is soooo addictive!
Troy I think you should get those scales checked that fish would only be 7 kilo at the most. I see Big_unit is still backing up your stories for you but then again that’s what mates do for each other.
Nice catch there mate.
yeah I would buy some new scales IMHO. Caught my first LT off the goldie on sunday no photo but he went only 5.5kg's and looked to be a similar size to the one in the photo???
They do fight well tho pound for pound
