My buddy Paul sent me this picture, they caught two like this...Paul is standing just behind the fish, he is 6 foot

Fish was caught in Canadian waters, on a cajun thunder and a gulp

Gulp really does work!

I think I'm using the wrong size Gulp. Was it the 2 or 3 inch??

What a fish

The other amazing thing is how much the Japanese sushi market would pay them for that fish

Oh No, RodBow, I don't have a fly THAT BIG!!! My fly vice only holds those little bitty fly hooks...them big tuna's need a humongous size hook - I'de need to buy a whole new line of equipment from the rod on down. Why, a fella would have to use the whole bird to get the feathers to make a fly that huge! SHAZAM!

Your right, that's a big fish

Looks similar in size to the trout I lost Saturday right at the boat.

Impressive. But, how do you release a 800 pound fish?
