Fishing Clarion Island's Buffer Zone on Qualifier 105

Fish wibth Bill Roecker for Giant Yellowfin Tuna on the Qualifier 105, in the Buffer Zone outside the marine reserve boundaries of the Revillagigedos Islands. Dolphins swim here with schools of big yellowfin, tuna so huge they're a tough test for anglers and their gear. These big boys are hard to come by, and they bring celebration or heartbreak to those lucky enough to get a hookup. See fast action here, tropical marine scenery, and the struggle between standup anglers and fish up to 300 pounds!

If you're ever wondered how giant yellowfin are caught by standup anglers, "300-Pound Tuna" will show you the gear, how it's rigged and how it's used. Everything is strained to the breaking point, no matter how strong the tackle is, so hang on, and see how it's done!
