Dogtooth Tuna fishing
About Dogtooth Tuna
A fearsome reef-edge tuna with dagger teeth that holds over drop-offs, pinnacles and current-swept reefs in tropical seas. It is the classic mark for heavy popping and high-speed vertical jigging, and a hooked fish makes blistering, unstoppable runs straight down. Tackle failure is common, so everything must be maxed out.
Typical size: Typically 15 to 40 kg; trophy fish exceed 80 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 130 kg (varies by region).
