Holy smokes, unreal.

From $5 to $14 a lb, according to that show about Tuna fisherman

12,000.00 +/-

purely speculation on my part though

I've seen them go for $24/lb if the market is right and the quality of the fish is top shelf.

Edit, just looked up Japanese Wholesale for Bluefin Tuna:

Fresh - 20,500 Yen/kg = $81,000 USD!
Import- 5,500 Yen/Kg = $18,000 USD!

I'm sure there are Japanese Wholesalers in Houma that would buy it as fresh and overnight it to Japan.

yowza

they sell it?

Professional Sportsfishing /Billfishing people are multi-millionaires spending rediculous amounts of money on their passion / hobby. I doubt they're worried about selling a $15-20K fish. If I had to guess, that tuna will be eaten and respected by the Capt and deckhands

Enjoy them while they last. That species is toast.

Off LA waters you can only harvest 1 BFT per year, as its strictly regulated and enforced by the wildlife and fisheries

Love me some Grand Isle.
