I saw this brief story and always applaud someone able to stretch the edge of the “fly fishing envelope.” Desperation or genius is immaterial as Tuna are capable of 60MPH speeds – any size fish has to be a rare thrill.

Fly fishing’s weakness (and strength) has always been its inability to access deep water, so finding clever ways to circumvent that yields bonus points in my book.

You had better have a high quality reel however…
