A note from Sam Allen:
“Bluefin tuna are, in my opinion, the pinnacle of the fly fishing world. They are remarkably wily fish, feeding with reckless abandon at one moment only to be spooked by the slightest unfamiliar sight or sound the next. Success requires equal parts: skilled angling and adept boat handling, along with a healthy dose of luck. The angler and captain must be perfectly in sync and each piece of equipment has to perform flawlessly from the moment those feeding tuna are spotted until the moment the gaff hoists one over the gunnel.”
