Great mostly for bait here in Atlantic Canada![:D] <br /> <br />The tuna fishery used to be real big in our smallest province Prince Edward Island. it's a much shorter season these days. I couldn't find any sizes from this year's annual catch, just completed recently, but here is a listing of some previous records for sport fishing of tuna that I found: <br /> <br />"Women: 1978 - Dr. Colette Perras of Montreal with 130 lbs test <br /> Weight 1,170 lbs. North Lake P.E.I. <br />Men: 1979 - Ken Fraser of North Lake with 130 lbs test <br /> Weight 1,496 lbs. Auld's Cove N.S. " <br /> <br />Somewhat larger than the NZ fish! <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />that's incredible Bob, I guess it ain't a world record then? <br /> <br />Ken. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I think they said it was a World Record Blue fin tuna. The Atlantic tuna I think are Yellow fin. on the "Show yourself" thread I posted a picture of me with my 73 pound Yellow fin. It is small compared to these but it was large enough for me to get a certificate from the fish & game commission of North Carolina. I can't imagain how hard it was to reel those things in. One of the more experienced men on our boat described catching tuna as "cranking a Volkswagon up off the bottom of the ocean".
