Hiya
When choosing guns, use the LONGEST gun in your arsenal!!
One of the biggest problems i had was adjusting to the exceptionally clean water. A 80-90kg (200lb) tuna, swimming 10-15m (30-50') away from you looks like a 50kg (100lb) fish swimming 5m (15') from you!! You always hear of Blue Water hunters talking about shots falling short, due to them mis-judging the distance or size of fish. The longer guns simply give you a greater range, especially helpfull when the water is VERY clean and the fish are spooky.
Another big help is SLIP-TIPS. If you can, USE THEM!! It's holding power is far more superior to a normal fixed barb. The downsides to them is their cost and that they're a nightmare to remove from a fish!!
Regards
miles
