    CGC I probably didn’t get good penetration everywhere but my scale goes to 440lbs and big ahi (yellow fin tuna) around here weigh 180-250lbs so I think I will be safe. If we catch a marlin then that will go on the scales at the dock. If I had to do it again I would make a mock setup with PVC to get the coping right. The angle in line with the top tube was easy it was the angle perpendicular to the top tube that was a disaster. Also I would weld the entire thing using tig not stick.

    Went catching yesterday, not fishing, and my stand works. Ahi (yellow fin tuna >100 lbs) was 94lbs gilled and gutted.

    Can you put tuna like that on the grill, or doo you ever make sushi with it? I've never seen tuna that red, looks tremendous!

    You could drill holes and put a hitch pin and clip through each hole, that would secure fairly well.

    Impressive catch! Nice to know you are putting a previous project to good use already. That tuna looks pretty yummmmmmmy! LOL
    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?
