“I’m not a big fisherman, but have fought a few tuna. An 80 lb tuna is a very powerful fish that will Kick Your Butt. I was never strapped in, but was close to letting go of the rod a couple of times. I don’t go into the ocean. It’s dangerous.”
Full grown tuna weigh 300 to 1000 pounds. You were fighting a baby. They are strong fish.
They run smaller around here. Yellowfin.
