Rupert Kirkwood, who took this photo, has now made some calculations, and estimates the tuna in it is between 7 and 8 feet long and weighs roughly 200kg.
There aren't many days when you can kayak off Start Point, renowned for one of Britain's most dangerous tidal races. But yesterday the stars aligned, so I bunked off work. Delighted to see Rupert Kirkwood (the Lone Kayaker) out there. He took this picture of me +1. Before you ask: yes, it's real. 🧵
