Very nice. That thing would probably go for $70K on the Japanese market. Hope you have a 55 gallon drum of soy sauce.

Jamey.
The main portion of the body goes to the market,, but we get the head and tail steaks and dude they are fantastic on the barbecue!!!! We got $14 a pound for the fish and knock 90lbs of the round weight then do the math!! Someone, somewhere is makin alot of money,,,, sure aint us!!!!
Still, I'd do it for free!!!

Jamie ol buddy,,, there was mucho beer that night,, i can assure you. We fished the next morning though and i was praying to god that we didn't hook-up,, lol. I was still a little shaky from the night time activities.

baloney

im not sure why one would chase a fish that has become scarce due to being over fished, and knowing that the thing is pretty much not a candidate for release due to the drawn out fight. Either way its dead unless left alone. Just mho, i dont think any less of people who catch and kill fish like this, they are almost on the endangered species list because of the market demand in japan.
