''The fish of a lifetime'' — that's how Lachlan ''Locky'' Waugh describes a 83.4kg yellowfin tuna caught off the country's northern tip.
The Kerikeri man hooked the yellowfin about 20 nautical miles off North Cape during the recent Houhora One Base Billfish and Sport Fish Tournament. It put up a 40-minute fight before he could get it on board.
