ABC Wednesday: F is for Fish


And what a fish!

My husband does tuna fishing in the late summer. He's probably been out 300 times but only gotten a handful of tuna over the 10 years he's been doing this. Yesterday was such a day.

This is his biggest one yet! It weighed 610 lbs and was 100" long. He fought it for about 8 hours.

He's all aching this morning. He said, "I feel like I got run over by a tuna!"

For more "F" things visit ABC Wednesday.

    How DOES one bring in a fish that weighs thrice or more what he weighs?

    I had no idea tuna were so big. 8 hours is a very long fight. Bravo for bringing it in.

    I watch once the documentary of Japanese tuna fisherman. Catching a big tuna can pay for their livelihood for a year. Very impressive.
