The sailfish went about 50kg keeping them busy as it took off jumping and tailwalking across the surface. \u00a0With two different species to the boat early, the sailfish was quickly photographed and released back into the deep blue waters of Vanuatu and the lures put out once again. The pelagic action continued with the anglers scooping five (5) Wahoo and another two (2) yellowfin tuna before they decided to leave the seamount and relocate to do some jigging.<\/p>\n<p>The guys deepwater soft plastics technique landed a nice little GT, which took a Bozo\u2019s Thumper Grub. \u00a0\u00a0With fading light and not too much time left, they hooked up when the live bait went off, after a searing run they were reefed convincingly which had big Vanuatu dogtooth or &#8220;doggie&#8221; written all over it.
