One rock, one angler, one fish that can pull you into the sea. The hardest discipline in sport fishing — recorded catch by catch, largest to smallest.
What ShoreTuna is
Anglers submit a shore-caught tuna with its weight, species, mark, tackle and a photo. An editor checks every entry, and the approved catches form a single global leaderboard ranked largest to smallest. ShoreTuna exists to record those fish properly and to show where, when and how they are landed. Send a catch to the register.

Why the shore
From a boat you chase the fish. From the shore you wait for the fish to come to you — and to stay long enough. That is why a shore tuna carries a weight no other catch carries.
A shore tuna doesn't come to you. You head out in the dark, stand on an edge that moves and cast until you believe something will happen. Most people quit before the first full day.
Nine trips without a touch, then one twenty-minute window. Shore fishing isn't measured in fish but in the hours spent in the right place at the right moment.
Wind, tide, water temperature and the food line decide everything. The same rock gives a fish one hour and stays silent for a week — reading the terrain is 80% of the job.
PE 8, a 130 lb leader and a drag that doesn't give up. A shore tuna tests the whole system: there is nowhere to retreat, no skipper, no second attempt.
Catch submission
Send the weight, the destination, the tackle and a photo. An editor reviews every catch before publication — that keeps the table what it should be: proof, not a story.
