Make sure to use all wire. And the biggest hooks you can buy.

I heard seaworms worked well.

Do you have a harpoon?

Doing some back of the envelope

math on this fish. Does this make sense?

-Assuming the 593 lb is a dress weight
-Purchased for $793,000
-Thus, price/lb is ~$1241, or $77.60 oz
-Assuming an order of Nigiri or Sashimi weighs about an once
-Article states an order will sell for $5 (assumption an once)
-That equates to $80/lb or $47,440 for the entire fish
-Thus a loss of ~$688,560
