876 lb bluefin tuna, state record?

[Kossetx]

I had no idea tuna got anywhere near that large!!

Almost 2X that size. about 1500 if I remember

[Man]

How old is a tuna that big?

Chart I found online says about 15 years old.

Do we need to put the .5 at the end or is that just with deer?

Monster fish!

State record yes it is. 10'1" total length. Certified this afternoon. Cool fish to get to see in person and up close!

Wonder how many pounds of fish one that size eats per day.

Question- cause I really don't know
How do they classify that as a state record 160 miles offshore in Federal waters?

Its where the fish is brought in (state) that matters.

Can he sell that joker? He might could buy his own boat with the proceeds from that sucker.

That thing is awesome
I had no idea they were that big

[3ChordTruth]

Amazing, what a giant.

[JhuntsAlot]

Holy smokes. Very cool.

I knew they get them that big in the Atlantic (because of Wicked Tuna), but didnt know they did anywhere near the Gulf.

Dang tail looks like a marlin tail.
