"Carlson theorizes the tuna escaped from one of the tuna pens floating off the coast of northern Baja."
The Bluefin tuna is in big truble and I wouldnt be surprised to see its name on the Endangered list very soon. The fact that it was legal for him to just take a game fish like that no matter how it got there just blows my mind. Stupid people doing stupid things is what this is an example of. The live/ struggling tuna should have been gathered up and let back to the ocean.

Well dont be surprised its about to go CITES Appendix 1 soon,also its perfectly legal, you can keep up to 10 tuna and he didnt use and nonallowed methods of capture. Personally i think good for him.
Personally I think any fish caught with your hands that is a game fish like this should be released. You dont just wade a river when the salmon are dieing and pick them up. Here in MI it is illegal and it should be else where this is why things are so messed up.likestofish;3823508; said:
I believe it is illegal in most almost all places to wade in freshwater and catch fish by hand...but i think saltwater is a different story
