Angler reels in 335kg tuna (just imagine how many sandwiches that could make!)

Nathan Adams is now waiting to see if the giant bluefin tuna he landed breaks the record for one caught with line and rod.

That apart, there is the small problem of where to put the huge fish. And his wife Lisa is not keen to have it mounted on a wall in their home.

The fish was caught on 17 February but video of the catch off Houhora has only just emerged.
