The father of an 11-year-old boy who caught a monster tuna off Cape Otway hopes Apollo Bay locals welcome them back after putting the town in the spotlight as a fishing hotspot.
Catch puts coast in the spotlight
Jakim Azzopardi weighs in at just 45 kilograms and 145 centimetres. The 11-year-old pulled in a 185-centimetre tuna, which hit the scales at 116.6 kilos this week at Apollo Bay to become the talk of the fishing world. He is pictured with dad Matthew and their mate Phillip Pirotta.
