    Did anyone notice that it was not a blue fin tuna, but a yellow fin. Please check the difference. I know that for sure!

    Amazing video. I’ve never been spear fishing but I fish often and I’m always studying their behaviors and patterns. Right when I saw that fish moving slower than the group and out of formation I immediately thought “Shoot that one!” and he did just that. Amazing how that translates. I could never spear fish, these guys are badass!

    That’s a juvenile bluefin. Still a great catch with a speargun.
    Bluefins get to be well over 1000 lbs. world record is 1496. Caught right in my backyard. We catch fish over 1000 lbs here every year.

    I use to have a 25 Wellcraft, w twin 150s, before the era of massively overpowering boats! Was out by myself, striper fishing, off the beach, at Sea Side, when guys start yelling. I turn around, and school of tuna, come through, jumping out of the water! Started casting to them, as they were in range, then realized what i was doing, and just started laughing out loud! These were 2, 3 hundred # fish, min., the best i could have hoped for, was to lose all my line!!!

    No hate. It's a nice fish. But still on the smaller side for a blue fin. Big ones I'd say start about 700-800 pounds. We see them on the regular here in the 800-1200 pound range.

      Yellowfin tuna have a bright yellow second dorsal fin and a clear yellow lateral line above their pectoral fin. Bluefin tuna have a second dorsal fin that is a mixture of gray and yellow, and their underside is silver with uneven lines. Bluefin tuna also have a dark blue tail, while yellowfin tuna have a yellow-and-gray tail.

      Tuna fishing shows like wicked tuna are about as realistic as keeping up with the Kardashians. It is, however, illegal to use a speargun for bluefin tuna on the East Coast of the United States. This video was filmed in California, where it is legal to spear bluefin.

      To me, it’s priceless. You would need a commercial license to sell bluefin. These younger fish aren’t as fatty as the ones they get on the east coast so they aren’t worth as much, but it would easily be worth a few thousand dollars

      Fins
      Yellowfin tuna have longer pectoral fins that extend past their second dorsal fin, while bluefin tuna have smaller pectoral fins that don't reach the second dorsal fin. Yellowfin tuna also have longer second dorsal and anal fins that can reach the base of their tail, while bluefin tuna's second dorsal fin doesn't extend past the first dorsal fin.
      Color
      Yellowfin tuna have a bright yellow second dorsal fin and a clear yellow lateral line above their pectoral fin. Their backs are metallic blue or green, and their bellies are silver. Bluefin tuna have a second dorsal fin that's a mix of gray and yellow, a silver underside with uneven lines, and a dark blue tail.
