Tuna Wrestling

Amazing and quite Illegal !!

In Chatham we refer to that as the Liginza Special, Ive seen it done on the flats of monomoy more than once. Most of the times the fish were much larger than that football, in the area of 400-600# It is usualy done without alot of hands on, chase the fish into a tidal pool and wait for the tide to go out. a 500# fish Vs. a 175# shelfisherman is an interesting battle to say the least.

That's about 150 feet from my uncle's back porch. I was in the same spot as the cameraman fishing one night in Late October, and the stripers were going crazy under the lights from the pier. Lotsa bait there, guessing the guys in the wetsuits had seen fish in close before attempting this (note how fast the guy got the knife and bled the fish).
Crazy (and yes, muy illegal).
Later,
Rick

Someone needs to show him how to bleed a tuna.

That tuna's tail was flapping like crazy on the sand, so much power. Could only imagine one on the end of my line.
