Fishon...your right, that website is UNCLEAR about that issue. It was one bft between 27-73 per day and one >73 per season. Then it was uped to 2 fish between 27-73 and now it is back to one with no mention of the >73 catch. HOW COME THEY DO NOT AT LEAST EMAIL US WHEN THE RULES CHANGE?!!
From what I am seeing... people are ignoring this license. Most people who are not commerical will take what they catch.
One 27" tuna is hardly worth the effort IMO. If you hook several 50-100#ers.....your can only take one...right? In theory, this license is not for taking BUT for FISHING, and after you have caught one, in theory you should stop fishing because any fishing for tuna beyond the limit violates the rules as I read them.
This is YET ANOTHER example of botched up implimentation by a management guided by science for a rule or law that can't be realistically policed with some paultry budget. There has GOT to be a better way!!!
