As a San Bernardino county fish and game commissioner I understand in order to sell your catch you must have a California commercial fishing license. You I believe that applies to all aboard. Even if I could I would not sell it. I enjoyed delivering pieces of bluefin to all my friends for

I agree about sharing a once in a lifetime catch with friends and family. It looks like your job was really GOOD KARMA maybe. I just have seen guys at docks getting bank for their catch. Thanks for sharing and like Paul Harvey would say…. The rest of the story.

That’s right Caught a 230 pound bluefin tuna
On the Vagabond out of San Diego on a 3 day.
Got hooked up using a kite and flying fish for bait. it took off fast and hard at least 200 yards 30 minutes later I had it at gaff. it was a fight all the way. Other bluefins of the same size took over an hour. I got it’s head turned early then never let up

Awesome job Bob. I’ll be 69 shortly and I’m not sure if I could do that. 👍

Nice fish Bob. Enjoy, tuna is my favorite fish to eat, especially if I caught it. 30 minutes is a real good job. My biggest tuna was 205, but that was 30 years ago. Don't think I could do it now at 73.

That would be great would pay for the trip
Too bad in California only licensed commercial fishermen can sell their catch

I, kinda, thought so. Bottom line is that one heck of a fish and you will be able to share with lots of people. How cool is that? I’ve caught over 100 jumbo perch since ice on last winter and I don’t have a one in my freezer and I didn’t eat any of them.👍

I caught a 50 pound blue fin when I was in the army down in Panama. Coming from Wyoming I though I caught the biggest fish in the ocean. It took two of us 45 minutes, switching off, to get it to the boat. I couldn’t imagine one the size of yours and we were 19 years old then. We ate and ate on that thing for, what seemed like, a year. There’s a lot of meat on a tuna. Especially a big one.
