Good tuna bait! Very hardy swimmers. Put one on and it will last all day unless eaten first.

Now that I didn't know.

Are the tuna immune to the poison, or can you use a puffer as bait and catch a 250 lb tuna on 20lb test?:lol:

Then can you eat the tuna?:lol:

Not sure if they are poisonous but we did use them at the Hurricane Bank and they did catch tuna. And yes, they were used to catch tuna in excess of 200# and they were eaten.

Many years ago during one of my first forays beyond TJ, I caught one of the slick skinned variety in San Felipe. I skinned, cleaned and cooked and ate it. I had no idea how dangerous that was. I'm still here so I guess I was just lucky.

Years later I caught two at Laguna Manuela and had completely forgotten the first one. I asked a couple of passing Mexicans if they were good to eat. They answered in the affirmative so I got ready to prepare them. Then I vaguely remembered something I saw in Gene Kira's book. I pulled out my copy and looked up puffers in the fish profiles. Kira said he once saw a seagull pecking on a dead one on the beach. The gull dropped over dead within minutes. Kira is of Japanese descent but he says there is no way he'll eat one. I opted for a can of pork n beans instead.




All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.
