landed this 221.4lbs yellowfin tuna
after a hard fought, hour long battle.
Big yellowfin have unbelievable endurance. Tuna
don't jump; but because they have no air bladder, they
can dive full speed to the bottom in 1000 feet of water
and be incredibly hard to get back up. A big yellowfin
can fight for hours with heavy drag on him.

Yellowfins are able to escape most predators,
because unlike most fish, tuna are warmblooded, and their warm muscles make them extremely strong swimmers, with yellowfin tuna
reaching speeds of up to 50 miles per hour!
