LT Marine – Commercial Tuna Swim Hook

Just what you need to help revive your fish and get better coin for your catch when it goes to market!

Designed, and tested with valuable input from successful giant tuna fisherman such as Capt. Bob Cook of F/V Fat Tuna (Wicked Tuna).

Madefrom certified American Made solid 316 stainless steel and 100% manufactured in house by L.T. Marine, its designed to stand up to the rigors of commercial giant tuna fishing.Its strong enough to hoist your fish over the gunwale using a gin pole!

Simply tie your tow rope off to the handle, unclasp the stainless steel safety tether, and insert the hook into the mouth of the tuna. Guide the blunt end up and out of the lower section of the gill/jaw, and reattach the safety tether. Proceed to swim your fish until it is fully revived! It is specifically designed to not damage the gills and cause the fish to prematurely bleed out!

It is advisable to swim the fish for 1 to 1.5 hours (until the fish is swimming black backed) before bleeding it out. This will help cool the core temperature down and allow the fish to eliminate any lactic acid in its blood which accumulates and ruins the quality of the meat.

Features:

• Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Construction
• Welded Eye Loop for maximum strength while hoisting fish into the boat
• Crimped stainless steel safety leash with stainless steel carabiner to attach to the welded eyelet in the hook gap. This ensures your fish does not break free from the hook while swimming
