💥💥💥💥1128lb GRANDER💥💥💥💥 Congratulations, Pauro @raro_element for landing the biggest fish we've seen in Cook Island waters. After a 1.5 hour solo fight, Pauro landed this huge, 1128lb- 512kg mama on his 22' poti marara! Before people complain, Pauro is a commercial fisherman. He trolls two lines, catching one fish at a time. Rarotonga is a small island surrounded by over 2 million square kilometers of ocean, home to only a handful of commercial fishermen. The more fish we can catch, the less fish we have to import from foreign commercial businesses. Every single part of that fish gets utilized. All the meat gets sold locally, and bones/ heads get boiled up by local families. Sustainability at its finest. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #grander #fishing #tuna #bluefin #wahoo #mahimahi #marlin #fyp #fun #summer #ocean #pelagic #gamefish #fishinglife #saltlife #shimano #bigfish #hunting #sport #gopro #instafishing #hunt #shark #saltlife #happy #sport
