They did well. I hope to someday be aboard a boat when a giant is brought home. Mark can catch tuna....

No. Saltyric might though. He knows Mark better than I do.

Will let you know tomorrow, maybe.

Generally you will get more monies per pound if the fish is under 500 pounds because you usally deal with one buyer in Japan. Over the 500 pounds you have two or more buyers together buying the fish.

We all know it has to do with fat content, regardless what they say at the dock the final price is from Japan.

Will not know about the 900 + till Monday about price.

The three I mentioned earlier in the week averaged 15.00 per pound from japan, not domestic price.
