Big Tunas Landed by Kayak?

Spike · 03-22-2006, 07:38 PM

Several years ago, I saw some photos of a guy in Hawaii who landed a estimated 150# yellowfin on his custom kayak. The second image showed him with the head of a bigger one, shark bit. I'm a fishing writer trying to confirm any tuna landed over 100# by kayak for a magazine article.
Thanks.

I remember that... I'll see if I can find anything similar

Thanks Skipper.
I saw photographs but I'm sure they were published somewhere. I contacted Jim Rizutto, he had a recolection but didn't have a lead.
Thanks for trying!

That guy hooked the tuna on the troll in the big sport boat then fought them in the kayak. Pretty lame if you ask me. They get the marlin in East Cape and stay in the kayak the whole time.
