Senator for satisfaction – RH770

There aren’t too many big burly blokes who can say they’ve successfully landed a 100kg plus Bluefin Tuna and there are even fewer ladies who would entertain the idea of attempting such a feat.

However, Leanne Dixon has not only landed a whopping 294.5kg Bluefin Tuna but also potentially smashed a world record for a woman using 60kg tackle in the process.
