Catching tuna

Globally, tuna stocks are heavily over fished. But the fishermen in the Maldives - catching their skipjack by pole and line - are giving their skipjack tuna a brighter future.

A teenager has nabbed one of the biggest fish ever found in North America - a whopping 900lb white sturgeon. Paul Jarvis, 19, battled for more than an HOUR as he reeled in his 11ft 10" monster catch with the help of his dad Ron. The pair, from Atlanta in Georgia, USA, travelled to Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada, for their first fishing trip together. After measuring the beast, guides from Great River Fishing Adventures tagged the protected fish before releasing it back into the wild.
