I wonder how long he fought that….i reeled in a 30 lb blacken and it was a bitch

It's so light to him he didn't even have to put his pole down.
I mean come on. It's not like you can just hand him a 400lb fish. This is something you have to set up, and surely he would have put his pole down, no?

It's way bigger than 150lb. Tuna are very dense and this one is just huge.
ALso as another poster said, tuna are very stiff and do not have much flex, if at all when standing up.

that's one big fricking fish. i wonder what that things worth. got to be several hundred thousand. it's probably already in japan.

Do they go after the Yellowfin like they do the Bluefin?
Posted on 12/6/12 at 5:35 am to Geaux Smoke
Probably not worth as much as you think. If tuna aren't caught on an electric reel where they have to fight for a long time, they release lots of lactic acid (same thing that happens to your body when working out) which knocks down the price a lot.

I've read up on these long-range trips a good bit because it's on my bucket list to do before all the good spots they hit are declared off-limits. I promise he fought that a long time-if they were on a hot bite of giants, then he likely fought it from a stationary boat. If the bite is slow and they catch a really big one, they throw a zodiac over and you get in that with a crew member and can chase it. It scares the crap out of me that they hook another rod and reel onto yours and you are supposed to chunk your own International or Tiarga over the side to keep from being spooled.

This is one very big misconception about tuna. Very few of them are worth over $6-$7/lb headless and gutted (H&G) and very few go to Japan. Some tuna are actually only worth $1/lb H&G. Price depends on the color of the meat, fat content in meat, how they were caught and taken care of.

Actually yellowfin are targeted way more than BLuefin. Bluefin are very protected and they have strict limits (or even no catch regulations) on them commercially and recreationally. Yellowfin are a lot more abundant than bluefin.

I mean the japanese, are they as high a commodity to them as the Bluefin?
