  • For the critics out there! This fish was legal, by the hair on his chin legal, but legal. 47" with the curvature and weighted in at 46 pounds. The only true way to measure a tuna is with a string not a ruler! Measure from nose to fork with mouth closed following the natural curve of the fish. A 47" tuna will measure close to 2" less using a straight edge or tape on the deck. Thanks Capt Dave

  • its tough dealing with people sufferring from severe insecurity level... nice vid, it would be a bountiful feast to feed your family and friends..

  • wow its amazing you have these stupid people making comments about fishing when they themselves have no single fishing video in ther channel. whos gonna believe you people if you comment on this and you dont even have a single vid in your channel but modern warfare..dont listen to these idiots..they are just trolls waiting to victimize nice vids like this.

  • The kid needed to practice on bluefish first.

  • The recreational daily bluefin tuna (BFT) retention for limit for HMS Angling and HMS Charter/Headboat vessels (while fishing recreationally) is 1 BFT/vessel/day/trip, measuring 27 to less than 47, and 1 BFT/vessel/day/trip, measuring 47 to less than 73" CFL. This limit effective through December 31, 2009.

    From NMFS

    And it also says you can keep one 73" or greater per year or something like that. Although it might be different for charter boats like the purple jet..

  • thats a bluefin and the minimum for them is 47 inches
