We Caught a Bluefin Tuna, but the Quality was NOT GOOD

JANUARY. QUOTA ALMOST GONE. PRESSURE IS ON. Commercial bluefin season could close at any moment. We don’t know how much quota is left… we only know it’s over when the text comes in. Five minutes after setting the lines — we hook up. The fish measures 72.5 inches. Half an inch short. Release. An hour later… another bite. This one measures exactly 73 inches. Legal. Right on the money. But there’s a problem. This bluefin had an old hook embedded in its mouth — clear sign it was hooked before and broke someone else’s line. The fish was visibly skinny. Now the real question isn’t length… Did that old hardware affect the quality? Because in this business — quality means profit. With quota closing any day, every fish counts. Although we're grateful to have it, his was not the bluefin we needed.
