WOW! Like many here have already said, " what else can you say!"
What a monster! One question though? Personally, what are you going to do with it, or what did you do with it? I know many of you guys on the east coast bag those big boys and ship them to Japan fetching somewhere around $30k to $50K for 1 Bluefin Tuna like that on the japanese fish market! I've seen the 300 to 400lb. Bluefin back about 10 years ago get anywhere from $40K to $100K for 1 fish! Did you keep it or make some money from it? Personally, I would have shipped it to Japan for some big money!
Thanks for the monster report of the summer, and CONGRATS!........
Tim

Tim | I think you have to have a commercial permit to sell them. Good question though? What did they do with that thing? That's a ton of meat. I'd definitely have to share with the neighbors.
