Kelsey Johnson at IGFA posted this notice May 22: "While trolling a rigged skipjack tuna off the coast of Houhora, New Zealand on February 17, 2012, kiwi angler Nathan Adams hooked into an enormous Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis). After a grueling 40-minute battle with the brute, the tuna was landed and the crew of the Western Break headed back to the docks where it tipped the scales at 335.4 kg (739-pounds, 6 ounces). Adams' catch qualified him for the potential new men's 37 kg (80-pound) line class record, surpassing the existing record by more than 90.7 kg (200 pounds). Even more impressive is that the fish was landed on a 6.6 m (21.5 feet) vessel, not too bad seeing the fish taped out at 2.47 meters (eight feet).
