Huge Bluefin Tuna

Dr. Richard Cambria Lands Huge Bluefin Tuna

Blufin Tuna fishing in the northeast has commercial and sport fishing components to it. Casting to surface feeding fish has become one of the highlights of cape cod sportfishing. Only problem is these fish have rapidly grown in each year class to rapidly eclipse standard casting and or fly rod gear. Stories of exploded 14 weight fly rods and gnarled spin gear abound as these fish have pushed the 200 plus lb. size this year. Big time drag (up to 40 lbs!!!) and stout rods are mandatory.

Enter the Grandt Series of spin and fly rod gear. Pictured here is a 90 lb. Blufin subdued in 20 minute on the grandt 14-15 weight saltwater fly rod and fly line with 60 lb. core. Angler Dr. Richard Cambria leans the Grandt XVH and 80 lb. braid into a 125 lb. Blufin Tuna, this fish was landed and released in 30 minutes.
