I love this video clip so much. You got your typical fly fisherman with his grey shirt and shorts, doing a fly fishing cast about 2 meters off the boat when really he could just feed out the pillie. Then you've got your old school Islander guy who has spent most of his life on the water. Him and the deckie know what's really going on here. Job done!

On one of the tuna forums in the US there was a post of a guy who had caught YFT spinning/popping off the shore at Ascension. To get there I think its a RAF flight from the UK or a private boat trip in. Would love to go give it a go land based....
