Sunday 24 March 2019 will be by various anglers, not quickly forgotten. And certainly not by the fishermen who had managed to get a place on board the Cavalier this day.
The boat went trolling fishing.
And it turned out that this had been a very good choice.

At 11 a.m they hooked up. Yesssssssssss !!!
"Double Header Bluefin Tuna"
Wooooooooow, what a power.
The rods were assigned to the anglers Eric Pos and Klaas Westerhof, both from Holland.

Klaas, the oldest of the two, was allowed to use the fighting chair. Eric had to do his job without this luxury.

Eric, a plasterer by profession, had no trouble with his tuna and after 35 to 40 minutes he was able to release his catch again.

This gigantic, and for the boat Cavalier the very first Bluefin Tuna of 2019, was estimated by the crew at a weight of 340 kilos.

Klaas had a harder time, fishing his tuna behind the boat.
But after a fight of 3.5 hours, he still had the catch of his life
His monster Bluefin Tuna was estimated over 400 kilos.

Both Bluefins could be released in excellent condition.

Hereby our congratulations go out to the anglers Eric and Klaas and not to mention the excellent crew of the Cavalier.
Because without their craftsmanship it would undoubtedly have been a lot more difficult
