Anyone know where I can get a harpoon?
Think my 50 HP merc can drag a BFT back to MHC?

I know of one that was caught off a bay boat back in 2007 off southport.
You joke, but it's doable.

Oh I'm not joking!
I bought some tuna fishing rods/reels to shark fish with from shore a few years ago and have never used them.
If my fishing buddies don't get up off their ass (they have much bigger boats lol) I'm going!
I have a 24 gallon tank, that should be enough lol.......

Just be sure to have a HMS permit for harpoon, Hate for you to go to all that trouble, only to lose the fish and have to pay a pretty hefty fine.

I'm sorry, thought you were going to go out there and just harpoon one, like the do off of Canada. But you will still need a HMS permit for the boat.
Good Luck, be careful

I'll bet the fleet can't wait for you to get in the middle of 'em when a bite is on. It's combat fishing that isn't for the feint of heart. Or small boats ...

Or if that thousand pounder pulls the skiff out to sea.

Kinda weird that rec trophy category has been filled but com quota still has so much available that they get a 4 fish limit.
Oh well. Can still catch and release if you are into that.

Well damn, so I would have to release? No seared peppercorn tuna for me?
Oh well, would still be a sick fight.

Errr......did you mean only "trophy" class is closed to rec?
So is there any slot a rec can keep?

I can't stand those things. The small ones are edible but the big ones are only good for sushi. Which is OK, but I like a medium rare tuna steak. Throw a BFT steak on the grill and the fat just oozes out of them. There's a reason that the only fishery for them before the Japanese was for cat food @ 5cent a pound. Had grunts for dinner tonight. Much better table fare in my humble opinion. LOL!

Right on. Not even a fan of the small ones. Sushi is Japanese for the word BAIT.

I wish! I had to work.
Might get my opportunity to go tomorrow but it seems that a warm water push has them relocated or the full moon has them feeding at night......

I mainly wanted to catch one for the fight, and to do it in my skiff. However, I do love me some sushi.

Come on now, eating sushi is like drinking beer, over time you mature your pallet to the taste!
Honestly I prefer yellow fin and salmon when I'm eating sushi, but BFT is damn good too. Little spot of spicy sauce, a bit of soy sauce and some wasabi......nom nom nom.
