Yellowfin Tuna fishing
About Yellowfin Tuna
A fast, powerful open-ocean tuna found worldwide in warm seas, often crashing bait near the surface and frequently associating with dolphins and floating objects. It is taken on trolled lures, poppers and stickbaits, live bait and deep jigs around current edges, seamounts and bait schools. Its long, dogged runs and deep, circling fight demand heavy stand-up tackle and a strong, smooth drag.
Typical size: Typically 15 to 60 kg; trophy fish over 100 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 175 kg (varies by region).
