Re: Show us your biggest TUNA
I reckon your scales are out gregsy, mine went 11.5kg. We weighed it with two different scales as we were not to sure the boga grips were accurate.
Was my first every Northern Longtail, 48min fight it put up........I don't think it knew it was hooked.

Not heavy enough or too heavy?, the sound the line makes when it's stripping through the water is unreal!

Re: Show us your biggest TUNA
I would have thought that your's weighed more than 9.5kg. I did not measure mine but I'm 6'2" tall and I'm not holding the fish forward for the photo. If your shorter I suppose it would be about right, I was just assuming that you looked a similar height to me.
Nice fish neverless, an yea I'm addicted to fishing for them. We ofter chase them with 3kg bream gear, lots of fun!!
Cheers

Pulled the boga's down to 28lb, didnt get a length measurement though.. Caught jigging a gulp in about 25ft of water around Vashon head port essington, epic runs, and epic fight! 
Very fat girl, swam her for about 10mins and off she shot!
Cheers,
