Record-Catching Tuna Hooked by San Diego Fisherman
A Catch to Remember
A San Diego fisherman named "Earl" has made headlines after hooking a massive yellowfin tuna while on a 10-day angling trip at sea this November. According to Fisherman’s Landing Manager Carl Schmidt, the catch was made just north of Cabo San Lucas, a city on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.
The Monster Catch
The tuna weighed in at an impressive 442.5 pounds, making it a record catch for Earl and his crew. The catch was made while aboard a boat named "The Excel Sportfishing", captained by Justin Fleck. The crew was surveying waters south of the U.S. border when they reeled in the massive fish.
Pride and Accolades
Earl was seen standing proudly next to his catch as onlookers took photos and fellow fishermen praised his skills. Whether the catch will become tuna steaks or poke is yet to be determined, but one thing is for sure, there’s plenty of tuna for sharing.
