Trip will be remembered by all aboard!!! Weather was perfect but HOT. The ships A/C wasn't able to keep the sleeping area cool so uncomfortable sleeping, many fished through the night slept during the day.
Final tally: 83 bigeys ranging from 30-110lbs, 5 yellowfin 60-80lbs, 12 mahi 15-18lbs, 12+ skipjacks.

How do you know those less than 100 pound fish were bigeyes and not yellowfins?

I think the Viking Fivestar crew are experts and know how to ID a tuna! Banding patterns when lit up are different between yellows and bigeyes for one.
They did have trouble once the fish were on ice and cleaned, plugs looks similar.

AFAIK the only way to positively identify one from the other open them up and see if there is a white strand in the body cavity and striations on the liver. I know some of those guys and IMHO you killed 83 yellowfins, but that's not your fault. Quick question can you see the difference in the color of the meat between the "yellowfins" and the "bigeyes"? Bigeye meat is much darker than yellowfin meat. Its more like bluefin than yellowfin. |

That last post may have across stronger than I meant it. I'm glad you had a enjoyable trip and caught a lot of fish. I just think the crew duped you into keeping fish over the limit to try and make sure you come back again.

I have eaten bluefin, albacore and several yellowfins and this was NOT yellowfin meat |

The second dorsal and anal fin are too different to mistake a yellowfin for a big eye in my opinion.

O.K. Believe what you will, but I have one more comment before I let it rest. All of the canyon fleet considers it a huge success if they come back with one or two bigeyes. The commercial canyon fleet considers it a success if they come back with 4 or 5 bigeyes. Real sharpies that are in the right place at the right time may catch ten of them, and that includes the Viking boats run by the very same crew. And you expect me to believe that 6 guys caught 83 bigeyes? If that is true you guys should have sold them, bigeyes bring anywhere from $6 to $15 a pound, you could have made a profit on the trip.

Mike, did he say he expects you to believe anything? I am sure you believe your opinion is valuable, but do you think your input here is accomplishing anything at all? Do you really think none of those fish hit the market? You come off as nothing more than a skid stain on this thread.

There's a great 27 page pdf with lots of pics of fresh and not so fresh fish, I can't figure out how to link to it but If you Google yellowfin vs bigeye it's the 1st [pdf] result.
"A handbook for the identification of yellowfin and bigeye tunas".
Very interesting stuff.

Wouldn't the much longer second dorsal on the yellow fin compared to the big eye be all you need to know ?

Those aren't that developed in smaller fish.
Those long sickle fins, or 2nd dorsals, grow with age. |

Thanks.
Just curious, are they a different color as small fish ?
Some pictures I've seen show the sickle fin as quite yellow. Albeit larger fish.

On smaller fish, Particularly in the Atlantic variety those elongated second dorsals aren't noticeable until the fish gets quite large. The Pacific variety develops the elongated second dorsal at muich smaller sizes. |
