BLUEFIN BATTLE (Season 6, Ep 13)

Waihau Bay provides the setting for a battle of epic proportions in this week’s episode, as Nicky plays a southern bluefin tuna for an agonising six hours on 15kg line. But before she sets off, Nicky sits down with tuna expert John Holdsworth to find out what his research can reveal about these incredible fish and how to catch them.

Boy what a stupid thing to do using 15kg. No respect for the power of these fish and didn't even have a fully Rollered game rod. Feel sorry for the torture you put the fish through...and the poor crew who had to watch it all.

As the deckhand on that trip, who rigged everything for it, I can say you have absolutely zero idea what you’re on about. Having caught bluefin to 115kg on 15kg line, and knowing how to do it repetitively, you will on occasions have a fish that gets the better of you. How about you come over these ways and show us how it’s done if you have that much of an issue with it. Until then, keep your pointless opinion to yourself 🤡
