Tuna fishing 30 miles S of Nomans 10-15 years ago, the day before a hurricane was supposed to pass, flatass calm, with Sauerkraut , on his Fortier, near a dragger, we picked up a 70ish lb bluefin. Big deal back then, it was legal and we wanted to eat it. There was a big CG ship nearby, and as we hauled that fish in they started launching a small boat. I told Sauerkraut, they are coming over here to inspect that fish, and when they get here and find out it is legal, they are going to inspect you to make it worth their trouble, and since there is no way in hell you are going to pass, we need to throw that fish back. We did. They hauled their small boat back up. We ended the day fishless.
