while you think the guy 4 boats away from you is just fishing too, they come over to your boat and board it as they are the coast guard. you get a massive fine and possible loss of tackle. they do not screw around when it comes to tuna. you can play the, "i thought they were bluefish" line, but it won't help. if you do not know what you are fishing for, maybe you should do some homework first. you need a permit from nmfs just to cast to these fish. then, you better be able to identify what you have as different tunas have different regulations.
