Tuna =]

 

Rigg'd we actually did have Tuna of our east coast for a few years.Do some googling for "The British Tunny Club" and you might get a link to some of the great B&W film footage of gents playing them from open rowboats!

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

There sure were. Scarborough was the tuna fishing place in the 1930s. The British bluefin record was over 800lb. But the Danes started to fish for them commercially, for fish meal. By the early 1950s all the North Sea tuna were gone, never to return.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

No seriousness in this thread, but out of all the fish in the world, regardless of saltwater or freshwater, and climate etc...

Which fish would you most like to introduce to you local lake/river?

Mackerel! imagine the fun fly fishing in small streams and brooks and it would be cheap pike bait!

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!
