700 + lb Tuna on a 18 ft boat video

Fishing video of the day  712 lb Bluefin Tuna caught on 18 ft open center console fishing boat.   Fishing video description  Well, Nat and his client Ron had quite the fish yesterday. I will let him fill in the details but after tagging 3 fish in the morning Nat put out the last bait and watched it get devoured by a slob. In just about an hour, which is totally remarkable, Nat harpooned the fish which ended up being 101" and a whole body weight of 712lbs. A huge congrats to Ron, who did stand up to a giant, and obviously Capt. Nat for this amazing catch. Add to that, the fish was landed with a 12' 90lb fluorocarbon leader!!

Releasing marlin instead of killing them is also the accepted norm now and, for the most part, long gone are the days where billfish are strung up at the dock just to see them twist in the wind. All of this is great, but the debate still ensues whether it’s acceptable (socially, biologically or otherwise) to kill a ­billfish, and the controversy remains. In order to objectively address the question, let’s first try to put recreational billfish harvest into context. In the Atlantic, for example, the United States has the largest recreational billfish fishery. Since 2001, ICCAT has capped the U.S. at a maximum annual harvest of 250 blue and white marlin combined. Annual landings are typically
