They have to be making this up! The details are way too fishy.
I just wanted to be first this one time.

The other angle you'll see here is: hey the same thing happens all the time in the US. I feel much safer in Mexico BC .
Let the show begin.Eugenio - 5-1-2008 at 11:23 AM
Thanks Soulpatch. Yes it's obviously an assasination. I didn't see anything about robbery. There is a lot of bad feeling about what the Japanese have
done to fish stock in the Mar de Cortez. That was the first thought that occured to me when I first saw the article.DianaT - 5-1-2008 at 11:49 AM

Wonder if it could be related to other activities that the tuna pen custodian boats could be involved in? Maybe they were snitching on seeing human or
other contraband going by on boats? Many boats coming ashore in SD lately.

Looks to me to be a Nissan - Toyota rivalry. When the Yakuza gets going, they are hard to stop.Iflyfish - 5-1-2008 at 06:06 PM

Maybe it was some old Gringo ex-pat still ticked off over the "Day of Infamy".
What the heck. As long as we're going to make wild guesses with nothing to back it up, it's as good as any.
Can we clarify?

Acknowledging I don't know much about those pens, I had thought the tuna corrals were more for feeding and sequestering ("on-growing" per Don Jorge's
informative link) harvested wild bluefin tuna than for actual farming. Better to mete out fresh fat fish for Japan's sashimi consumption?
