Being the ever skeptic, can someone tell me why the fish looked dead when it came on board and never moved once it's on the deck?
I smell a rat. What does everyone else think?
Never the less, it is one large tuna and I am a bit jealous.

So, an embarrassed and humiliated tuna? I wonder if the filets and the belly for sushi would taste the same. There is nothing worse than a tuna with
an attitude towards his killer!
I guess I should really feel bad with my fishing technique as it take me 3 times as long to land a 25 lb tuna.

Too bad that fish was caught near Ascencion island instead of Isla Asuncion.
48 days and counting

If anybody has seen videos of "back in the day" of tuna fishing, before the advent of the purse seiners, fishermen would be lined up on a platform on
the stern of the boat with a bamboo rod and short section of braided line. The lure they used was a feather type jig with a stout curved hook with no
barb. they would get the fish in a feeding frenzy and drop the lures in and pull the fish over into the boat. No reel, no playing the fish, no drag,
just haul the sucker in and get back in the water. As the hook ( not really a hook as a fisherman would think of, just a stout curved shank) had no
barb it was essential to keep a bind on the fish till he was in the boat and the lure would pop out and would be immediately thrown back in. When they
encountered big fish they would attach 2 rods to one lure so that there would be 2 guys to haul the toad over the side. Pretty cool stuff from "back
in the day"
The fish did seem a little subdued when they first brought him in but he did kick a little at the end.....cool stuff, thanks woody....dt

Saw a thing on TV a while back, some of the commercial operations are going back to the old hook and pole method. The reason? It was because the fish
could be processed quicker and the quality was much better.
