Although it is a rare occurrance, I would say if it does happen, at least make a call so that you TRIED to reach the proper authorities.



Then follow your own instincts........
Thats not the one I was talking about. A couple of guys saw a bluefin in close to shore. It wasn't legal size. They got it out of the water and paid dearly later on. I want to say it was in CA. somewhere. I believe the circumstances are quite differewnt with this one that started this post.
