One striped marlin was tagged and released, and 12 yellow tuna were caught yesterday, on the first day of Gisborne's biggest game fish contest.
Regan Hurring caught a 15.96kg yellow fin, and Paul Pardoe a yellow fin that weighed in at 16.835kg.
Tatapouri Sports Fishing Club president Roger Faber spoke
from out on the water this morning — he was about 15 miles out from Pouawa, he said.
On day two of the Liquorland Marlin and Tuna Tournament, Mr Faber said it was nice out on the water this morning but the wind was forecast to pick up later this afternoon.
“It is great to see the yellow fin tuna being out and caught,” he said.
