A monster tuna was recently boated in North Carolina. Captain John Cruise and his crew, including Zack Foster and Aaron Burr, caught a 900-pound bluefin tuna with live bait on December 2. The team of three anglers took turns reeling it in so it doesn’t qualify as the new state record, but by size, it’s the biggest catch ever recorded in the state. It took 5.5 hours for the anglers to reel the big fish in. “I knew it was a giant of a fish, and we were headed for an epic battle when the tuna made a sizzling run of about 600 yards,” Cruise, a retired Marine Corps officer, told Carolina Coast Online. “There was almost nothing we could do except stay in the fight, a down-and-dirty brawl with an immense fish.”
The “brawl,” which started in shallow water and ended several miles offshore, cost the crew in gear. Two gaffs pulled out of the fish, the 130-pound-test braided fishing line broke, and a 1,500-pound harpoon line frayed. But they still managed to boat the behemoth.
“We broke two hoists getting the fish inside the [boat],” Cruise said. “But we finally dragged it in headfirst so only about a quarter of the fish was hanging off the stern.”
They weighed the nearly half-ton tuna at New River Marina in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina, which posted photos and video of the catch on Facebook shortly after the crew arrived.
According to the Army Times, the current North Carolina bluefin state record, held by retired Army general Scott Chambers, stands at 877 pounds caught in March 2018. The IGFA bluefin world record belongs to Ken Fraser for a 1,496 tuna caught in Nova Scotia in 1979.

Tuna was first canned in the early 20th century. Up until then, the sardine was the only fish placed in cans. But in 1903, a shortfall in the sardine catch off the coast of southern California saw a number of enterprising cannery owners start packing tuna into the empty sardine cans. A new industry was created.
THE WWF notes the majority of the market is made up of four species: skipjack alone account for more than half of the global catch of tuna, followed by yellowfin, bigeye, and albacore.

Ian Urbina, a former investigative reporter for the New York Times, is the director of The Outlaw Ocean Project, a non-profit journalism organization based in Washington, D.C., that focuses on reporting about environmental and human rights crimes at sea."
If you look at the taxonomy of crime that plays out offshore, it’s both diverse and acute. And yet illegal fishing sits at the top of that hierarchy. It’s a global business estimated at $10 billion in annual sales, and one that is thriving, as improved technology has enabled fishing vessels to plunder the oceans with greater efficiency.
The Thunder flourished in this context. Interpol had issued a Purple Notice on the ship, the equivalent of adding it to a most wanted list, a designation given to only four other ships in the world up to that time. The vessel had collected over $76 million from the illicit sales of seafood in the past decade, more than any other ship, according to Interpol estimates.

Banned since 2006 from fishing in the Antarctic, the Thunder had been spotted there repeatedly in the years that followed. In 2015, that’s where the environmental organization Sea Shepherd found it. Speaking through a translator, Peter Hammarstedt, captain of the Bob Barker, warned that the Thunder was banned from fishing in those waters and would be stopped.
It was the beginning of an extraordinary chase and the subject of the second episode of “The Outlaw Ocean” podcast, from CBC Podcasts and the L.A. Times. Listen to it here:
For 110 days and more than 10,000 nautical miles spanning two seas and three oceans, the Bob Barker and a companion ship, both operated by Sea Shepherd, trailed behind the trawler, with the three captains close enough to watch one another’s cigarette breaks and on-deck workout routines. In an epic game of cat-and-mouse, the ships maneuvered through an obstacle course of giant ice floes, endured a cyclone-like storm, faced clashes between opposing crews and nearly collided in what became the longest pursuit of an illegal fishing vessel in history.
As chronicled by the Outlaw Ocean Project, a nonprofit journalism organization whose reporter was on board the Bob Barker, the chase ended with a distress call from the Thunder. “We’re sinking,” the Thunder’s captain pleaded over the radio. The ships operated by Sea Shepherd rescued the crew and tried gathering evidence of its crimes before the ship sank to the bottom of the ocean.
