A sight I never thought I'd witness, as around eight Tuna were hunting huge shoals of Garfish only metres from the shore. The Garfish would leap out of the water in an attempt to escape, as the Tuna attacked from below.

Given how badly the bluefin have been overfished, this is a delightful sight. I would give this video 10 thumbs up if I could!

Living and fishing(for pleasure/ food) in South Devon it has been a joy to watch these magnificent creatures return to our waters over the last 10 yrs. Let us pray that commercial interests do not destroy this amazing recovery and it remains a spectacle for generations to come. We can live in hope.

I boycotted eating bluefin tuna like 15 years ago because they are overfished. I tell everyone the story about this amazing fish and hope they will not go extinct. What a beautiful video!

I think every attack, from what I saw, the blue fin came up empty. Seemed every time, the target was knocked away. Beautiful creatures, awesome footage!

When you think that bluefin tuna were on the brink of exinction in the North Atlantic for almost three decades... What a marvelous success story their protection is !

Thank you for sharing these amazing footage. I have never seen such footage before! Just mesmerizing how these ballets are played out in nature.

Congratulations for the topwater tuna eats and blow ups. These fishes are really fast and it's almost imposible to see the attack even if they are feeding near to you. To catch this 1 second attack moment and récord with this quality is an amazing job and a gift for everyone. Thanks for publishing this awesome experience 😀❤👌👌👌

I saw with my own eyes this amazing nature spectacle: I was trolling offshore with my father and we saw something astonishing: we heard a water noise at first, then we turned and we saw what seemed a silver chinese dragon coming out from water and re entering the water, up and down, off and in like a single creature made of...I can't even imagine how many needlefish. Then came the silence and after few seconds the water exploded with many tunas hunting. It was as if time had stopped for a while.

That is the most amazing footage off the UK i have ever seen in my life. I have books showing Big Game Fishing off Whitby in the 1920's and 1930's for them, but to see them back like that is simply wonderful. You cannot tell me Great White Sharks do not visit our waters, this just backs that too. Thanks for sharing this footage.

incredible clips. I know how much difficult it is to capture without seeing what happens under surface of water. Admirations for the time spent and hardwork.
