Stuart Nichols has spent 25 years guiding visitors to catch Bluefin Tuna off Tasmania's southeast coast. He knows how demanding it can be, and what it takes.

This video has it all - early mornings & brutal weather; but with just one fish in four days, when it finally came together, it was worth it.

This isn't a highlight reel. It's what real fishing looks like when nothing comes easy.

Shot out of Eaglehawk Neck, the Halco team travelled to Tasmania to fish with Stu, and put the new Laser Pro 210 to the test.
