how much could he sell all that meat for?
Completely depends on the grade.
"A bluefin tuna caught off northeastern Japan fetched a record 56.49 million yen, or about $736,000, Thursday in the first auction of the year at Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market. The price for the 593-pound (269-kilogram) tuna beat last year's record of 32.49 million yen.
The price translates to 210,000 yen per kilogram, or $1,238 per pound - also a record, said Yutaka Hasegawa, a Tsukiji market official."

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.

Y'all ever seen that shite on tv where they enclose an entire school in a net and transport the entire school to the Mediterranean? Crazy.

It's been a while but yes. Big time amount of fish.

That's huge for a Pacific Blue. The record Atlantic Blue is twice that size though. An 1100 lber was caught in the GOM about 5 years ago.
If we are thinking about the same fish, i think it paid nearly $400k in the Isle of Capri Rodeo that year. The Sushi brokers flew directly to Biloxi for that bad boy I was told

That is what I meant by tuna herding. I know that was only one tuna in the scheme of things. But the herding takes out thousands near this size every year. Soon these big breeders will be very rare.

As far as I'm concerned, don't JUDGE me, but the world(everyone) needs to be in union with the potential elimination due to hunting/fishing of all sea and land species.

No argument here. Yep they are and bluefin/yellowfin travel the whole oceans. Bluefin travel from Canada all the way to the gulf and have even been tagged over here and caught across the world. Pretty facinating their migration patterns and how they hunt for food.

Yeah that was pretty amazing. I've told a lot of people about that documentary over the years, but have never seen it replayed.
