Although the chance of getting caught is minimal (and fresh tuna steaks do taste incredible) getting caught could get real ugly.
Fines for possession are very steep. I can't find any numbers right now but I'm pretty sure it's thousands of $$, not hundreds. You can probably say goodbye to any fishing gear you have on you at that moment and if they were in a bad mood your beach buggy as well.
They take it very seriously.
