Bluefin are delicious and you only need one or two for a feast. But they spoil easily so care is needed to prevent disappointment when you get them home.

Just dropping your bluefin on the deck can bruise and spoil the flesh. So dispatch it quickly, then clean it and get it on ice. And learn the easy steps that will transform it into the culinary delicacy it can be.

When using hard body lures to target SBT, I prefer to have them fitted with single J-hooks. Because there's less chance of straightening a hook on a big fish, less chance of damaging the fish if I'm going to release it - and less chance of damaging me.

I use a large landing net with a soft silicone bag, which helps control the fish when landing it and prevents damage to its skin and scales.

I also use single hooks on all my stickbait lures – they’re easier to remove from the fish, cause less damage to its mouth, and reduce bleeding. This means the fish spends less time out of the water before release and has a better chance of surviving.
