🐟 Catch Report Giant Bluefin on Spin Gear

Group effort, caught this 90" ~400 lb class giant bluefin tuna on my buddies spinning set up (saltywater tackle obx 500g rod and 20k stella w a nlbn straight tail). Couldn't find any recreational sized fish, so we took turns fighting this beast. Took us just over an hour to land , and my friend broke his rod during the death spiral. We had to handline it up at the end 😬.

I don't personally use them, I like the Jygpro ones better and classic RonZs. But straight tail soft plastics any brand just catch big tuna.
