Large schools of yellowfin migrate through Fiji waters twice a year and so are found here almost all year round. Places such as the Kadavu seamount almost always hold yellowfin as well as skipjack tuna. The average size school yellowfin tuna weighs in between 15lb and 50lbs and they are often found along the outer barrier reef slopes and sometimes, inside the lagoons and passageways.
Out on the trench, they range from 100lbs to 180lbs though longliners often bring in even larger fish. For yellowfin, We troll a range of skirted bullets, bibbed and bibless minnows. A friend of mine fought a good sized yellowfin on 8lb line for four hours and five minutes before the Shimano light tackle reel imploded under the strain.
These fish are stubborn fighters and pound for pound, fight harder than any other fish in the ocean. We currently hold 5 Yellowfin line class Fiji National Records.
