i remeber when the excel out of S.D. run into & on top of the tuna pens , when they finally were pulled from the pens the
" big question was posed " DID YOU CATCH ANY BLUFIN ???

JDP,,,right you are Sir. That was in the Mediterranean. Not long ago, when the big Bluefin
were plentiful, they used to just net them and do their business in the net. Now the Bluefin
are smaller so they put them in holding pens until they fatten up then they do their blood
bath later.

Wow, that Flickr slide show is incredible. I wonder what kind of shot that guy was using to kill the tuna. Buckshot seems like it would do too much damage to the meat. But bird shot seems like it would leave a bunch of pellets left in the meat. Never seen that before, pretty eye opening.
Awesome footage! Thanks
