https://hmspermits.noaa.gov/News.asp#news231 1 = 27 - 47in 2 = 47 - 72in 1 73+ in I fall under the HMS charterboat/headboat rules |

You can take one 27 to 47 inch tuna and two 47 to 72 inch tuna per day trip.....totaling three tuna for that day. But only one 73+ inch tuna per season.... |
A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing huh Will... check the rules first... then open mouth
Nice fish Ronnie, I'm sure he'll remember that a while! |
sweet fish Congrats Leo!
|
That is correct for recreational permit holders. And to complicate matters, you can also keep tagged tuna and it doesn't count against the creel.
|
thanks for the clarification and NICE FISH Ronnie!!!

http://www.bokranch.com/pics/sugar_kiss.jpg https://hmspermits.noaa.gov/News.asp#news231 Recreational Atlantic Tunas Retention Limits The recreational daily bluefin tuna (BFT) retention for limit for HMS Angling and HMS Charter/Headboat vessels (while fishing recreationally) is 1 school BFT (measuring 27 inches to less than 47 inches) Curved Fork Length (CFL) and 2 large school/small medium BFT (measuring 47 inches to less than 73 inches CFL) per vessel per day/trip. , effective in all areas, for the entire fishing year. HMS Angling and HMS Charter/Heaboats are also eligible to retain 1 BFT (73 inches or greater) per vessel per year as a “trophy” fish for the boat. These BFT retention limits are effective for all areas, except for the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico is designated as a spawning grounds for BFT and therefore NMFS does not allow vessels, commercial or recreational, to target BFT while fishing in this area. The recreational yellowfin tuna daily retention limit is 3 yellowfin/person. The minimum size for yellowfin and bigeye tuna is 27" curved fork length. There are no recreational limits for bigeye, skipjack or albacore tunas. |
