Bluefin tuna are extremely rare

They are only “rare” in areas not in their migration pattern. The top boats catch 15-20 in a season that’s only around 12 weeks or so. They also do charters. There are also recreational fisherman catching bluefin right alongside the commercial boats. People catch bluefin in areas where bluefin migrate. They may be rare in Louisiana waters, but they aren’t rare.
