Why is his number unusual if he really has chartered once a year for much of his life? The top boat on Wicked Tuna catches close to that total weight each year in a season that only lasts a few months.

Bluefin tuna are extremely rare. Guy threw out a ridiculous claim without knowing his audience

Because it means that he would've had to catch at least one very large bluefin every time he went fishing.

The fisherman you see on Wicked Tuna are commercial fisherman and they specifically target those large bluefin almost everyday that they are allowed to fish. Even they don't catch every time they venture out.

Yet OP claims that he has had such success over 3 decades even while recreationally fishing different areas with what I will just assume are different crews.

It seems rather unbelievable!
