This in from Tony Fox...
 
Herewith a photo of the 62.14kg big eye tuna caught by Tim Wheeler (Jnr) on 23 dec 09 fishing from the family boat Reel Obsession.
 
Tim's fish is a pending club and NZ record and I believe the first caught in NZ this season. Also of note his brother Troy is the current club jnr record holder so a family affair indeed.
 
Also of note we have had our first and probably NZ's first T&R blue marlin caught by Mark McDowell today at 10.00 am.
