A 5.8 metre trailer boat. A UFC heavyweight strapped into the harness. And a Pacific bluefin tuna that pulled the scales to 243kg bled, gutted and gilled.
Matt Jurlina is a plumber, a Muriwai beach launcher and one of the Chums boys β a crew of mates who grew up rural and never stopped chasing fish together. He's also the bloke who'll tell you about the trips that went wrong: the $15,000 weekend, the four-hour swordfish lost at the leader, and ten big broadbill missions this season for zero fish.
Then one dead-looking day off Cape Brett, with Brando ”The Balkan Bear” PeriΔiΔ on the rod, one live blue koheru changed everything. Matt walks us through the bite, three leader shots, the call to take the fish, and how it ended up feeding more than 100 people.
We also get into his first marlin (no gaff, no gloves, no electronics, 128kg), why live baiting works from snapper to 250kg tuna, and the one word he wants you to take away: confidence.
Tight Lines, Loose Lips.
