I remember many years ago I was in Red Top and guy was talking to the clerk and they were talking about a tuna the patron had caught. He told the clerk he had gotten 43 dollars a pound for the fish and it was in the 700 lb category. Must have paid his boat off on that fish. You could pay your house off with this fish.

I know of at least one person in MA that did that.
A new 27 Albermarle and trailer showed up after the fish sale

Those days are long gone. Rare to get over $10 a pound these days.
