Bluefin

Man what a catch. I hope they had their permits in order. I have heard of Bluefin being confiscated for lack of.

Does anyone know what a recreational fisherman/boat would do with something like that? Can a rec fisherman sell that fish at the dock?

Seems like that would present problems for a few anglers and whoever happens to be hanging around the dock. Obviously the meat is crazy good, and anyone would be lucky to get their hands on some, but that's prolly at least 700lbs of meat.

I believe they are legal to catch and land you just aren't allowed to target them. That is why the guy kept saying they thought it was a yellowfin until they hooked it.

From the HMS Regs:

HMS Angling or HMS Charter/Headboat permit: The “trophy” bluefin tuna (fish >73”) quota has been divided into three geographic areas thereby allowing trophy bluefin tuna caught incidentally while targeting other species in the Gulf of Mexico to be retained, provided the subquota is available at the time of harvest.
