I was under the impression that there never is a bluefin season in the GOM because it is the only known spawning grounds of the bluefin tuna. Is there actually a bluefin season in the Gulf that I'm unaware of?

That's what I thought, but I read this:

We caught this fish after 5 hours, had no clue it was out of season, why would I keep up with something that I never catch! I have no idea if I can kill a polar bear if I see one either!


and I'm supposed to believe that a guide didn't know bluefin were illegal?!?!

Exactly.

I'm an amateur offshore fisherman and I know this.

It'll turn out to be a Styrofoam ice chest.

Two stolen, one blow out.

I thought the blow out was a throw away, but after adding the steel hinges from Igloo, it is actually usable in a pinch. Will be a backup for the next time I get one stolen as well as general purpose/crawfish boil one. Or, that guy that makes the cajun coolers could make one with it for me.

You should get a yeti. No one will be stealing that heavy bastard.

I'm surprised our cooler seat has never been stolen. It stays in the boat lift when we aren't around.

So this get this correct? If I catch a blue fin in the GOM I can't keep it b/c the GOM doesn't have a season for it? frick, I might sound like a dumbass but I literally grew up on the water and never knew this.

I wish someone would answer this, I just read an article last week that said that longliners who catch one incidentally can keep a few based on the rest of their catch and some other factors.

The last one was stolen from a boat dealer lot with a high fence.
