The topic is being discussed hotly in Indonesian sportfishing communities because it only took 5 minutes and 36 seconds to gaft this brute , my opinion is that the tuna swallowed the lure and could not open it's mouth to breathe and hence , had no strength to do anything but being led to
the side of the boat . The line used was PE5 .

A couple of days before this , the same angler took more than a half an hour to subdue a far smaller fish using the same outfit , check the other posting in the same section .

Yesterday , a 56 kg YFT was boated , this time it took 3 anglers to bring it to the boat side and the outfit used was heavier than the one used for this 70 kg speciment , PE 6 line was used .
