Anyone else notice that the headline says "bluefish" tuna on the MSN artice?

I remember many years ago I was in Red Top and guy was talking to the clerk and they were talking about a tuna the patron had caught. He told the clerk he had gotten 43 dollars a pound for the fish and it was in the 700 lb category. Must have paid his boat off on that fish. You could pay your house off with this fish.

Those days are long gone. Rare to get over $10 a pound these days.
