Big Fish, Small Pole

This insane fishing clip was emailed to me by a friend, Mark Nicosia. Watch Captain Noddy deliver a yellow-finned beast with nothing but a cane pole. Insanity!

Big Yellowfin Tuna on bamboo - Ascension Island 2010 from Morten Svendsen on Vimeo.

During a recent flyfishing trip to Ascension Island, Local Captain "Noddy" sees a big fish responding to the chum and decides to use his bamboo pole. I hook a nice Tuna on my fly rod, and shortly after Noddy and Paulie lands the biggest Tuna I've ever seen.. on a bamboo pole... Weighed in at the pier at 275lb. Enjoy..
