Tuna are alot of fun on regular tackle. I would love to fish for them with a fly rod. I was fishing for Tuna a few months ago and a friend hooked a really good one, it put up a lengthy fight then the line went slack. He reeled in and we discovered just the head of a very large Tuna. A big shark had eaten the rest of it! We were pretty surprised by the whole thing, the guide acted as if it happens everyday. Do you plan to troll with your fly attached to a downrigger?
