Just as there are various species so too there are various sizes and weights. This is important when choosing the correct fishing equipment. You don’t want to hook a tuna and lose it because you have the wrong gear.

A tuna can range from 140 centimeters [55 inches] in length and a weight of 60 kilograms [130 pounds] to a massive 4.5 meters [177 inches] in length and a weight of 700 kilograms [1500 pounds]. That’s a big fish!
