Picked Up another Tuna While on Vacation Last Week

Post by RALAustin » Wed Aug 02, 2017 2:40 pm

I have gone through a bunch of Tunas in my time, but the specs on this one even beat the Emperor Tuna (5'7 140 - and that is feet/pounds, not mm/grams). The prior owner really battled me when I was trying to make the acquisition!

Nice! Hopefully you had a knife, wasabi, and soy sauce with you! Fresh tuna!

Sweet! Local trooper just got a nice one up here by me.

If you watch Wicked Tuna, the Pinwheel boat is out of my harbor.

Yeah, that is a commonly shared reaction. You should see his dad's home. Not shabby at all.
