600 Lb Bluefin

[Guest]

This post and file is posted on behalf of Ross Hunter of a Giant Bluefin caught at the Peak in the 60s.

This is an archival clipping of a giant bluefin caught at the Peak in the early 60's.. Thought it may make a good post. Check the big bugger out. The gaff man was the late Jack Farrell ( a dear old mate from years gone buy).
