Quote PORT ARANSAS, Texas — Patience and determination – many say those are the keys to a good fisherman. For Port Aransas angler Troy Lancaster, they meant reeling in a record-breaking 876 pound bluefin tuna. The 50-year-old fisherman battled the record-breaking fish for nearly nine hours last month. Today, Texas Parks and Wildlife confirm the April 13 catch is a new state record. https://www.kxxv.com/news/port-aransas-angler-hauls-in-876-lb-record-bluefin-tuna Last edited by jeh7mmmag; 05/04/21 11:33 PM. �Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.� ~ John Muir

So if you hook it by "accident" and not intentionally does that mean you don't get to keep it and have to throw it back in ?. Not all those that wander are lost..

Always carried wasabi and soy when we fished tuna off the East Cape of Baja. Nothing better than sashimi off a fish that is still kicking.

Just a mere 100 miles offshore. 5 hour boat ride to a 9 hour fish fight + a 5 hour return ride = 19 hours assuming an instantaneous hookup. I LOVE chasing big fish, but better pack the Dramamine if I'm going. Last edited by HuntnFly67; 05/05/21 03:51 PM.
