A trio of fishermen from Geelong are celebrating after they reeled in a southern bluefin tuna weighing in at 165 kilograms on Tuesday evening.
Steve Nelson, Bobby Griffiths, and Reece Holwell, known to friends as "Chum Norris", caught the monster tuna after nearly two hours of fighting off the coast of Portland.

"He's managed to find that one for his first-ever tuna, which is pretty wild.
"He's saying he's not going tuna fishing anymore".
Griffiths claimed it was likely among the 10 biggest southern bluefin caught in Australia.
"Some people chase those for 10 years and don't get one, so he's come with us on the right day," he said.
