Did you guys hear about the seized 881 lb. tuna in MA?

Opinions on the matter? Personally, I think they should have let him keep it... Guy must be pretty bummed. He thought he was doing everything right.

I don't know how it is for commercial fishing but I do Alot of Tina fishing myself an I know your not allowed to keep fish bigger than 73 inches. Tht may not be the case for commercial fishing. I'm also pretty sure there a rule where you can only catch them rod and reel... Rules are rules and there there for a reason.

Then again it wa stupid of him to bring it back to port. The japeneese would've taken it right out their!!!

Why yes we did read about this way back in Nov.
