LT Marine Heavy Duty Tuna Release Hook
Finally, an effective way to revive large pelagic game fish, especially giant tuna. No more hassle when the commercial or trophy giant tuna category is closed. This tool will make reviving giant bluefin tuna and other large pelagic fish easy. Designed & tested with guidance and input from Captains Taylor & Bryan Sears, SeaBros & Mass Bay Guides in Scituate, Mass. This apparatus is based off a similar method used by commercial and charter tuna operations from Prince Edward Island, Canada as observed by Captains Taylor and Bryan on their many expeditions up north. Studies have been conducted where fish that have been caught, tagged, and successfully revived using this method, have been recaptured years later proving the method as an effective form of catch and release.
