Anglers Eric Pos and Jos van Loo had chartered the Cavalier for a few hours this Sunday afternoon.
Of course they went trolling for Blue Marlin, Tuna etc.......?

After three hours a large school of hunting dolphins and tuna was found.
A bite was no longer long in coming.

It even became a double bite, the first of which unfortunately came loose during the run.

The second was on Jos` rod, who then took 20 minutes to catch a big-eyed tuna, estimated at 45 to 50 kilos.
Congratulations Jos.
.
The lines were barely in the water for 10 minutes and it was another hit.
It was Eric's turn now, and his tuna also showed a lot bigger.
The fight lasted over 15 minutes, after which his tuna managed to get rid of its hook. That's a pity.

What a huge disappointment.
Tomorrow both anglers have another chance.
Who knows?
