On a side note, I find in "interesting" that a lot of members here are quick to pounce on questionable ethical behaviors in most cases but as was stated earlier in this thread, pics of short tuna and reports of over harvest with regards to the bag limit go by without much comment. Very interesting.

These negative comments are just wrong........It is too bad that alot of members here are quick to pounce, and that's just sad, that some of us don't have enough going on in our lives that we "feel the need to critcize" the fact of the matter is my hand is just under 4" in width if you scale it to the photo & measure it to the pic you will see that its a "tender creel"

So RR how are the the raiders doing this year,are you matching there record to?

stiff tip,the vessel I was on was wider that your dingy,so ease up.


This Capt'n who owns the vessel I was on is a very seasoned one, and knows better than to let anyone poach from his boat.....nor would it ever be anything I would do! If you watch ESPN you might see him and learn a thing or too............

I too have learned a thing or two in my life.....One of them is,"If you have nothing positive to say don't say anything at all".

Look IM not going to chase this thread into the ground. I have fished & been around long enogh to know & always do the right thing.NONE of you where there so you can guess,speculate & cluck like Hen's all you want I gave you the facts to measure with & if that's not good enough than thats just too bad...Go chew some fat else where.

God love ya

Take a look at the tuna length/weight chart. Your fish would have had to be 60 pounds or over to be legal. Given the picture, and the mates estimate on the fish's weight, your fish was short and should not have been kept.

On a positive note, congratulations on catching a tuna! That's something to be proud of! I just started fishing for them this year and it is an addiction. It's just unfortunate that your captain gaffed and kept a sublegal fish. Bluefin tuna are endangered and breaking the regs is simply unacceptable.

Social drinker, competitive fisher...

What the hell does the fact that the Raiders suck have any thing to do with the fact that you gaffed a short fish !!!
Those coments about the Raiders & the size of the vessel you were on, are as dumb as you posting the pics on the internet for every one to see!!! (any chance you think some of the people who seize the boats and hand out the fines may lurk on the internet !!!
You said the mate thought the fish was about 45 lbs, that makes it about 40 - 42 inches,
A keeper (47 inch) tuna will weigh over 60lbs !!!
I've caught enought of them to know the size of them by looking!!!
The fish should have been hauled in by the leader of the rig you were using or netted , we do it all the time!
But just a fact, you DON"T use a gaff unless you know it is legal and you plan to keep it !!!
