A MONSTER 300 pound tuna fish has been caught off the Devon coast
A group of fishermen say they felt like they had won the World Cup after catching this massive tuna fish off the Devon coast.

The five men had been fishing for sharks when they landed the 300 pound-plus bluefin tuna.

Fisherman Kevin Mckie believes it is the first bluefin tuna caught off Plymouth by rod and line.

Mr Mckie and his friends, who caught the fish in July, said they could have "written a book" about the memorable day, and he described it as "truly a dream come true" and said the gigantic catch stripped over 300 yards of braid off the reel of his fishing rod due to its immense weight.
 

Mr Mckie told The Plymouth Herald: "The bite was just insane with no warning. The reel drag went from 0 to 100 mph in a split second.

"On the first run it stripped over 350 yards of braid off the reel in seconds, then it went deep down and stayed close to them sea bed.
"It made three more long runs and at one point I had to chase it in the boat just to keep up."

The catch was a real team effort with the fishermen talking it in turns to reel in the beast.
