Tuna Champions
Being prepared to catch a big fish like the southern bluefin tuna means having the right gear and making sure it's in good condition. Looking after the fish when catching, handling, keeping or releasing it means the flesh will taste better if it's kept, or it will recover faster and be more likely to survive if released.
