Giant Blue Fin Tuna

Fri Nov 27, 2020 12:11 am

Hi all

Sean K has sent me a 4 minute video of lads off Mayo practically hand feeding Giant Blue Fin Tuna.
Would anyone know how to edit it to remove short bits that show the location?
If we can do that, I'll post a link here.

Absolutely awesome footage, a whole shoal of them, some 6, 8 maybe 10 feet long, swiping fish off the surface.
Poor old Fungie never had it so good!

Your link doesn't seem to be quite right Kieran, doesn't work for me anyway. This one does though:

Beautiful, graceful big animals. Brilliant video, thanks for the link.
It's fantastic to see them back after such a long absence. Let's hope that we can protect them now and re-establishing our marine environment and all round fisheries

hilarious seeing the gulls getting the shits scared out of them - class footage
saw them feeding from the rocks in Ballyreen in August - what a sight as they were breaking the water

That is class. Would love to see tuna like that. They say they are at the end of lough swilly at times too but I have never seen them.
