881 pound Bluefin TUNA! $
Here's a big one that the FEDs seized. That's a lotta bluefin and a lotta money that goes to the Government.

I wonder if they get this big anywhere near Baja?

That SUCKS big time!!!
Just another example of Uncle Sam over enforcing the rules to screw the small business man!!
There's too many rules and they're over zealous in using them to harm a guys lively hood!

So if you own a small buisness you shouldn't have to follow any rules, just catch and keep any and all that you want. It's only a fish, there are more
where that one came from.

so the small bizman should be allowed to practice illegal fishing methods?
that's what we need, a society where only large businesses have to follow the law!

"They said it had to be caught with rod and reel," a frustrated Rafael said. "We didn't try to hide anything. We did everything by the book. Nobody
ever told me we couldn't catch it with a net."
Apparently they didn't do everything "by the book". You also can't play the ignorance card and say "nobody ever told me...."
Nice fish, though!

That was an Atlantic bluefin. They dont get nearly as big in the Pacific. Believe the record Atlantic bluefin is around 1500 lbs.
And the big tuna at the Revillagigedos are yellowfin.
