Gavin Mannix and a willing crew headed out on the Kiwi Girl to chase tuna at the weekend. They ended their day with 2 tuna, both of which were measured, tagged and released as part of the TunaChart programme. Based on the lengths the first one was about 340lb, the other, a beautifully coloured fish, about 210lb.

Joining the crew this time was junior angler Matthew Mannix. The youngster used every bit of his strength and stamina honed by years of rugby training to to convert his hook up into a catch.

As if the high adrenline and exertion of hooking and playing the tuna wasn’t enough the anglers saw plenty of busts, whales – minkie, fin and humpbacks and dolphins to keep them entertained for their big day on the sea.

Go fishing…
