RECORD CATCH FOR RODMAN 12.50 OWNER
Wednesday 1st November 2006
Peter McAuley from Ballycarry can proudly say that he is the only man ever to land a Blue Fin Tuna in Northern Irish Waters using a Rod and Line.
Perhaps more impressively he managed to do this single-handed ! The 319lb Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna put up a considerable fight but after about 45 minutes Peter managed to drag the fish in through the back door of the boat - no mean feat.
Peter told us "I was standing eating toast when a very large Tuna, probably over 1000lbs jumped out of the water beside the boat. Just a few seconds later, the rod went mad, I had hooked one!"
Interested in more details on this story or the Rodman range of family sport fishers - drop us an e-mail or give us a call.
Elan Power 35
The Power 35 is an outstanding performer and handles so well that Motor Boats Monthly awarded this boat the coveted Sports Cruiser of the Year Award.
Pre-owned boat in very good condition available.
New boats available.
