If I saw a tuna that big off a dock I would for one stop drinking for to gaff that sucker @ChrisA have u ever eaten tuna and the permit only applies to federal water ...more not state
You have to have a permitted vessel to fish for those. If you accidentally catch one it has to be released. I understand it went to feed families, but what you did ...more is still illegal. You probably don't
Just trying to help you out. Look it up online, yellowfin tuna have long sickles to or past their tail. Big eyes are similar to bluefin with short sickles
