Florida fishermen catch 832-pound bluefin tuna

A group of fishermen in Florida may have broken a state record on April 15 after they caught a reported 832-pound bluefin tuna in the Gulf of Mexico.

The weight of the fish and its picture were posted to social media by HarborWalk Marina.

The boat, No Name, was led by Captain Jake Matney and crewed by deckmates Devin Sarver and Jett Tolbert, according to a report.

That is the most expensive tuna you can get... probable worth 66-75 thousand in Japan (just guessing $$ because an episode of Magnum PI had a story based on this fish).

Over 3 million for the above Blue... so I probable missed the mark.

Incredible.  I never thought of the value.
