Manasquan 400# Tuna

[Billfish715]

On the down low........a 400 plus pound bluefin was brought back to Hoffman's very recently from a center console.........so I've heard.

Old news a very prominent builder caught it. There have been lots caught

[Pauls1976]

There have been a bunch of big ones brought in. The one I think you are referring to from Saturday was caught on a Sterling Tackle as Sterling’s tackle posted pictures of it on social media.

And heard they are very close....just sayin.

what's "very" close, the Hudson (not really), the Chicken (getting better), the Princess (slightly better) or Monster Ledge --> now you're talking "close" ?

FYI- Hudson ( Canyon not River) was dead overnighting Sat to Sunday 5/19. Nothing caught or reported while out there.

Just a big fuel bill reported.

From the Instagram post, the two guys in the Regulator look like two captains I've met from the Jenny Lee. If so, they are real pros who know what they are doing. That's a big fish by any standards and a real challenge to catch and haul onboard a small boat.

The larger bluefins are being caught in the canyons from the Toms down south to the Spencer. Smaller bluefins are mixed in the same areas and even further south to the Wilmington and Washington.

Catching one a landing means that they were ready.

Just reminding those that don't do this every year so they are ready when tuna show up...I'm not an expert on the matter but catching one by accident(bringing it to the boat-by luck) and keeping it without a permit would probably mean fines..
