Mariner 12.5 propel v's TUNA!

This is a 16 Kg (35lb) Bluefin Tuna, caught in my Nativewatercraft Mariner 12.5 kayak on the  morning of Feb 18th 2012. I was fishing for snapper when this locomotive came through and grabbed my bait heading south at 100 knots. It took 30 minutes to land and it dragged the kayak for 500 metres.



Karen, the kayak did everything I needed it to do and was extremely stable throughout – another testament to the mariner.


For those people who were not sure if a Mariner 12.5 propel would be suitable for ocean conditions, I think Garry from Woolgoolga has proved more than once it can.
