if i remember correctly, a couple seasons ago a guy took a decent tuna off east beach RI. i think the fish attacked a surface plug in the wash and beached itself. the guy kept the fish, and brought it to a tackle shop to weigh and tell the story. i think that it was deemed an illegal catch, but, rather than get bad publicity, no charges were filed.

i know i would have a tough time relesing fresh sushi if i ever catch a tuna......
