Now couple this increase in catch, with a sh*tty Japanese market, and we are going to have hundreds of June rubberball racers sitting on the dock going to domestic markets for $2 per pound.
And come fall, when those tuna actually have some fat on them, and the Japanese market might be improving, we will have no quota, and will be watching fish jump all over the place, and not be able to touch them.

Good times.

Exactly. Meanwhile those longline rapists with all that discard can continue to devastate the fishery without repercussions. And they blame the rec's for the fisheries issues.
