Ten days trip. Day two

Here is a pic of where all the fish are stored.

No boat will allow you to clean your own fish on the boat. They have holding tanks with chilled sea water and they add salt to it. Not sure what that system is called. But once the boat gets back to dock, they have several fish processing companies waiting there for you or you can take your fish's whole home to process. My last 10 day trip I ended up 414lbs of filets!
I was just curious, in the gulf we can gut or bleed fish but they must be landed with fins intact and the head on. Thanks

That's dressed weight not live? If live, then that fish is worth over $30k? I don't know much about tuna values but you hear of those crazy Japanese values where a big fish might be hundreds of thousands $.

That’s based on fat content? And those numbers are full retail. Wholesale it’s about 7$ per pound and up from there based on fat for the bluefin. Yellowfin is about 5$ wholesale

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
