I think the fishermen make between $9 and $13 a pound for a dressed fish (head tail fins and guts removed), and that depends on the quality of the flesh and whether there is any damage to the body. So this might be a $6,000 tuna, which is still pretty impressive, especially the ones that come in on tiny center consoles, with one outboard!
LOL like we said we'd love to know how they got it on board. After speaking with people here apparently these boats have doors in the transoms and make use of gin poles along with that hook in the fish's jaw, all of these things in unison enable them to get the fish on the boat
Really great tuna
Really thought she's right, how did they get the tuna into the boat???
through the Tuna door in the transom
Beaufort South Carolina...not North...
This was Beaufort North Carolina. Just to confuse matters there is a Beaufort South Carolina as well. We won't be there for a week or so. 🙂
$50,000 tuna?

this is fake, look at the fish and then look at the size of that net in the boat. LOL

That net on the boat is for scooping fish out of the live bait tank
