Here in Newburyport, the last record BFT I remember was 1495 lbs.! At $22.00 a pound, we're talking some $30,000- for 1 fish!!!

To be frank, it wasn't something I pursuued, given that the gear alone would cost upwards of 2 grand to get started and I didn't have a boat I would consider using for something like that. Sharks were a real possibilty in the mix of things as well. They may not have been BFT, but they were tuna! Maybe Big Eye of some other species, but they were tuna and 1500 lb. was the record for around here! Regardless of them being "bluefin" or another species, they were BFT's. That BIG F-ing Tuna!!!
