I believe that is a High End (HE) sticker on the tuna's right flank.

If so, the winning bidder got a raw deal. But he could sue, si?

I may be all wet, but I believe this is the best tuna thread this forum has ever seen.

My first look at that big tuna sent me reeling, but the more I see it, the more I'm hooked. I wonder if it took 54 nets to land it. Seems like a good topic for de-bait.

The winning bidder burst into song, but he can't carry a tuna.

For those of us unschooled in fish genders, can you tell if that tuna is ahi or a-she?

Assuming the whole thing was used, 612 lbs x 16 oz/lb /12 oz/can = 816 cans of tuna...or... better yet, -one delicious 1909-11 T206 Honus Wagner!

It seems unlikely the bidder will recoup his investment going that route.

Recently got a catch of mine graded in the group sub to Professional Saltwater Authenticators, but I didn't notice the small problem with the tail, so I got hammered with the dreaded PD (predator defect) qualifier...

I'll bet it's more valuable if it remains unopened.
... or if it's remains are unopened.

My friend, Salmon I were going to put a bid on the tuna for the halibut before herring, that Dr. Marlin, a koi heart sturgeon with no sole, would be bidding. Once bidding began some shrimp with mussels tide up the dock who could not raise his paddle to bid.

He may have weighed more at one point.
