This week has certainly been interesting with uncomfortable weather conditions and plenty of fish being caught. While the conditions subsided allowing anglers to get out and about on Sunday some excellent reports filtered through.

1496lb is the weight of the largest Blue Fin tuna ever caught. The brute was caught by Ken Fraser off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1979.

It is still the worlds all tackle record.
