[janosvadas]

Any way you look at it, that's a lot of sushi....

[supersk858]

my friend cory shultz caught a 805 pound bluefin tuna yesterday search it up on google very first one if u type in 805 pound fish.

[localguy8]

guys who cares how much its worth but to just catch that fish its a feat although i don't like towing that mini cooper behind the boat

[TheGarcia350]

towed catch...that ain't real cathin.

[strongsparta]

so good!

[Kahndawg]

Why don't you fish like a real fisherman and stop the boat instead of towing the fish behind it for 20 miles and wearing it out?

[unavailable1000]

I think you meant to say 330 lbs, not 330 kg.

[thomastats]

@unavailable1000

does It look like 330lbs to you dick head!!

[WildlifeObsessed]

Awesome fish, but it might be worth remembering that The World Record for a Blue Fin Tuna is lbs 1,496 (or roughly 680 Kgs) caught off Nova Scotia in 1979, according to the IGFA (and they should know !!).

[thomastats]

@WildlifeObsessed

DNA have proven that these Northern Pacific Bluefin tuna are a species of their own off the west coast of NZ. which on occasions SBfin tuna do mix with briefly as their season runs into each other.

I did take sometime for the IGFA to recognize this species

They don't get sold as they have NO commercial value..the season runs mid August to maybe mid sept...It's not yet known how big these puppies get. although I don't think quite as big as 680kg's..now that indeed sir is a tuna

[cateater4u2]

new zealand bluefin can beat any world records hands down :) we have the biggest bluefin in the world here :)

[nichickmet]

yeah bro my uncle caught a 300kg mother fucker man it was huuge he also caught a 244kg

[Jey743]

[atomdongle]

[Tunamachine123]

[gianttunafisher]

[ywmpg]

(I watched it in 'full screen' and got sea sick...)

hehe...

[snobak1]

try again.this is not anywhere near the world record of 1496lbs. cuaght off of the coast of Nova Scotia,Canada.

[Kurtfromnz]

Last time I looked Nova Scotia was not in the Pacific ocean?

[Tunamachine123]

the all tackle world record bluefin tuna is 1400 and change it was caught in the 60's offf nova scotia

[Kurtfromnz]

This Tuna is a Pacific Bluefin.

The Atlantic bluefin Tuna record stands at 1496lb's and was taken by Ken Fraser in 1979

[gianttunafisher]

yes this is quite true...as one of one close friends was actually on board while it was caught.....it is also near my home town....so there!!!

[McApear]

what's this song called?

[ywmpg]

lalalala...LA..La..la......lal­alala...LA..La..la

[johnfish1]

660 isnt the world record bluefin

[Kurtfromnz]

Could you plese write to the IGFA and tell they have made a mistake and I'll get the angler to send back his shiny IGFA world Record certificate back to them.

[johnfish1]

pacific and atlantic bluefins are genetically identical ie the same species,so its kinda not the world record

[Kurtfromnz]

Sorry John but the IGFA think it kinda is a world record.

The Japanese know the difference to these Pacific Bluefin are worthless (50cent a pound)in Japan.

[PENNx1x08x]

@Kurtfromnz ACTUALLY I THOUGHT ID DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ON PACIFIC BLUE FIN OF YOUR IGFA SITE AND IT CLEARLY SAYS (716 lb 8 oz) Westport , New Zealand 8/26/2007 Steve McCowan

SORRY TO RUIN UR "WORLD RECORD" STORY BUD

[TheSuperiorboy]

@Kurtfromnz bud if thats a world record (which its not) i would have shattered it we catch 700 pounders average

[Holiemackeral]

Nice fish...

But I'm not that impressed. The hardest part of a tuna battle is the last 100 feet of the fight. It is apparent that the boat played a huge part of this catch...

Also, the crew handlined the fish to the boat for the last 50 feet. Not that sporting in my opinion..

Try fishing for giant yellowfin from an anchored boat with 25 other passengers using standup gear.. That is the ultimate.. not this..

Tight lines.. Jeff aka Holi-e-Mackeral..

[kyzerk13]

@Holiemackeral WOW YOU COULDN'T JUST BE LIKE GOOD JOB!

[flashgunfilms]

I have just finished a short film about the Portugese Tuna Industry - their version of the Matanza was the Almadrava (a net trap). The film shows the original footage of the fish (15 foot) but now the tuna industry has died in Tavira. Click on my ID now or type "Giant Tuna Run - Tavira Portugal"

[backyards808]

nehe nehe!!

[blairmoss]

that boat has a long history of good gamefish in nz.good to see it still catching quality fish.

[Kurtfromnz]

This Bluefin Tuna has just been ratified in the last week, as the new 130lb and all tackle world record by the IGFA in Florida.

[blackkiwiguv]

october 07, whats happened to the 316kg tuna that was caught by, falcon northshore boy, who knows?

[Kurtfromnz]

A lot of the record claims have missed out because the boats didn't fish to of didn't know the I.G.F.A regs (tackle and angling).

The "TE Ariki Nui" is going back down there this year chasing the lighter tackle records.

[BC4Lyphe]

660lb is the all tackle world record for pacific blues? anyone know Atlantic's? must be around 1200ish right?

[glenvale64]

atlantic record was caught newfoundland as far as i know and was over 1350lb wow!

[Kurtfromnz]

The Atlantic bluefin Tuna record stands at 1496lb's and was taken by Ken Fraser in 1979

[craigmontini]

love it. nice pic on the warf at the end, unloaded there a few times.

[jamesa1234]

niceeeeeeeeee!

[caneywaney]

WOW. I dont know what is more upseting. The fact I couldn't be there to just see something amazing like that or the fact it's been 4 months (from this post) and no one has anything to say. Let me say congrats on a GIANT tuna
