Doing battle with BIG TUNA in the UK.

Charter skipper, Kieren Faisey and his brother Liam take Tuna fishing rookie, Robbie Northman on a fishing trip he'll remember for the rest of his life! The trio head out of Newlyn port on Kieran's boat with one target in mind, GIANT BLUE FIN TUNA.

To target the bigger fish they opt for a live bait approach using stand up spin kit instead of the traditional trolling methods often seen on Tuna boats. This method of fishing takes the fight to another level and requires precise manoeuvring skill from the helmsmen as well as brute strength and perseverance on the rod.

In this film you get to see just how insane a battle can be with one of these pelagic beasts and the teamwork and camaraderie onboard is truly admirable to witness the trio do battle and land a fish measuring 100 inches to the boat on stand up spin tackle.

This truly is a remarkable feat and possibly the first filmed battle of this kind in the UK, landing a fish of such monstrous proportions on this style of tackle.
