Landing a 1000 lbs Bluefin Tuna, East Coast of Prince Edward Island,, Canada

North Lake PEI. Commercial Fishermen in PEI only get two days a year to fish for Bluefin Tuna. This year they were catching some very large fish. They had great weather and calm seas. According to the locals the largest Tuna ever caught off PEI was over 1400 lbs. I wonder how many little sushi's that makes. My wife and I on vacation simply by chance were able to, ahem, catch this amazing video.

1. Prince Edward Island is amazing with the red clay and the farm house smells of chamomile. so nice and clean.
2. firstly. they can fish every day but they are only allowed to catch 2 in a season. secondly 45$ a pound is so rare that I have never known anybody who came close to that price although some tuna command that and more. I do know some fishermen who have not received any price because the tuna was diseased. others getting 2 or 3 dollars a pound because the fish wasn't fatty enough. and even if the tuna was alive it's death was relatively fast. I jigged cod and mackerel a few years and you would be amazed how long a fish will lay there gasping for water. that truly is a cruel way to die. maybe that's why the ocean takes fishermen every year. even the score
3. You North Lake PEI. Commercial Fishermen need your souls corrected. The fish is still alive when you were cutting it. Only when you cut the head off did it die. Its fins moved at 3:36. I eat meat, but I stand by full instantaneous death delivered when the animal is completely unaware of what is coming.
4. BAWEAN NO.1 FAVOURITE FISH IKAN TONGKOL OR TUNA
5. Am i the only one who see tuna fins on the belly moves when one of the guy was cutting its head?
6. I think its canada bro.
7. I saw a 750lb tuna over near Off a warf in hubbards. They had to cut him to pieces just like this one.
8. The quality of that meat was under $15 a pound, garbage
9. I'm sure there's farm raised tuna somewhere. They won't be extinct
10. Not trying to be a Hippy but these are awesome fish. Soon we will no longer be able to catch them cause they wont be there.
11. shut up
12. To bad that amazing fish is dead. Hopefully people stop over fishing them before they are extinct.
13. In Japan they use large knives, basically swords, cutting the fish delicately. Murica chainsaw lmao
14. To Japan for $45 per pound to middle man, the guy caught the tuna probably got half of $45 per pound.... Eventually the consumer pays 5-10x that price (probably even more) Ridiculous sums of money, reason for their numbers declining!
15. That's a $45,630 fish.....dayyyyum!!
16. Sassymui8@ oh yeah and btw Jesus was a fisherman :)
17. @Sassymui8 they have to earn their fish rather than tearing massive pore whales apart with harpoons and they don't take fins off sharks and release them back in the water whilst the shark can't move and choke on their own blood.... Yeah good point faggot
18. In Japan they treat fish religiously. In America it's just practical food.
19. In Japan, it seemed that they cut the meat with a sword and are more delicate. In America, a chainsaw. Am I wrong? I am not a fishing person.
20. The japanese like them for sushi. They are connoiseurs of tuna in particular. If they don't observe some fishing quotas on the demand side though, soon they're going to have none left to enjoy
