Ann, did you mean you'd *cook* the flesh of the Gods? BITE YOUR TONGUE!   The larger of the two was auctioned off at Tsukiji, in Tokyo.Little tired at present (work, not fishing), but will post a few lines about it at some point. Thanks for the nice comments. Big fun indeed. ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

KG, you sure do well when it comes to "hunting" the ocean. Awesome pictures; I'm looking forward to more detail. _____________________ A successful man is one who earns more money than his wife can spend. | |||

Oh my! I didn't know they were eaten raw! When I do prepare fish I very lightly cook it. Nothing worse than over-cooked dried out fish meat. ~Ann | |||

I bet that Tokyo fish brought some real coin. Congrats KG, love to hang into one someday. I love fresh tuna Sushi, sashimi or seared on the grill...it's all good!

Very close. But still not a good enough reason to live in a BLUE state. | |||

Is everything political? I went fishing and posted a few pics. You don't like where I'm from? I couldn't care less. Deal with it. You're certainly not missed here. ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

Kamo That looks like some kind of fun!  | |||

KG, just a question: I thought it was illegal to sell a game fish caught unless it was off a commercial boat, and I also thought bluefins were a gamefish. Not throwing rocks, just asking because I am obviously wrong, based on your above post. And an awesome bluefin, by the way! Maybe one day... | |||

No problem, but what makes you assume the F/V I was on was *not* a commercial boat, I wonder? It was in fact a commercial boat, fishing commercially for market tuna. I guess I don't exactly understand the question... There are recreational and commercial permits, and very specific rules for both. We know them to the letter. You better, in this game, as fines are painful at best, should anyone run afoul of the law. Thanks, though. ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

Well done, what did they end up weighing? Spectacular photos as well, thanks for sharing.

They're on the small side. The larger of the two went ~320 in the round, but had good fat content, so made it on a plane to Tokyo. The smaller about 260, and was sold domestically. Cheers, KG ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

I knew Tuna got huge, but I thought 320 was a sizable fish!Still haven't fished for them yet, I need to do it soon.

Our fish were only a few inches into legal market fish territory, at ~ 78". Here's the world record fish, at just about 3/4 of a TON. http://www.bigmarinefish.com/p...luefin_tuna_pg4.html I have buddies who have taken fish to 1100 lbs. So, as stated, the 300 lb class giants are the wee ones pretty much, all things considered. That said, I'll take them--and bigger, naturally--all day long. Absolutely amazing creatures they are. Doesn't hurt that they provide some of the very best eating in the world to those like myself who are sushi/sashimi fanatics.  ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||
