There haven't been seiners in the U.S. in over 25 years and the longliners don't really catch much in the U.S on bluefin. They have 1 a trip limits also from what I remember.
Outside of the U.S is where most of the damage is done.
And this wasn't in the U.S. And it doesn't take much to get into "international" waters...
My family bought yellowfin & bluefin from fisherman in the Gulf of Mexico, from Mexico, and from the Carribean for 20+ years and I have never seen a sein net on a tuna boat. It has all been longliners for as long as I can remember. And they can only bring one bluefin in per boat right now into the US and it has been this way for a while now.

Absolutely. Wasn't trying to argue. You know your stuff more than most of us. Just saying that US waters are comparatively small.
I can't believe this monster was caught on an 18 foot boat. That said you can catch beastly fish off Costa Rica and other Central American countries on the Pacific side within a stones throw of shore.
