spearfishing: 110 lb. Yellowfin tuna, Tunnas albacares (killed out of Indian River, DE). My wife has me beat with a 122 lb. Atlantic Bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus (killed out of Hatteras, NC).

I shot it before the days of digital cameras, so i scanned them in.

Cheers,

-Chris

man i would be in heaven, i love tuna, never been blue water hunting. some day hopefully, those are some nice fish though. as someone once told me "I hope you catch a lot, just don't catch them all" I'll post more as they come, Dan
 
225 bluefin tuna.
Also (dont tell this to the folks in the "Shark" thread) 255 pound Thresher

inshore that would be a 40 pound Striper-2 weeks ago.

it occurs to me you guys are talking mostly spear fishing... All my catches were rod & reel...

This northern stargazer was released after a few quick pictures and a few jolts of electricity (not that bad actually)

I am reluctant to post any pictures of sharks as there is a lot of emotion around these fish of late. But be advised I am a conservationist, I take only what me & my crew will eat. We release well over 80% of what we catch. I participate in the NMFS shart tagging programs (& have over 40 tags returned). & I just happen to love the taste of Mako & Thresher steaks on the BBQ.

I have my tuna pictures home and will post tonight if I get a chance.
