PHOTOS: Southern California fisherman hooks tuna weighing over 442 pounds
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A San Diego fisherman named ‘Earl’ hooked a catch he’ll always remember while on a 10-day angling trip at sea this November. That’s according to Fisherman’s Landing Manager Carl Schmidt who spoke with FOX5/KUSI Saturday morning.
Caught just north of Cabo San Lucas, a city on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, the fishermen reeled in a yellowfin tuna that weighed in at 442.5 pounds.
Earl, along with other fishermen, were surveying waters south of the U.S. border while aboard a boat named “The Excel Sportfishing.” The boat’s captain, Justin Fleck, also showed excitement regarding the catch as the boat’s crew brought the tuna to shore in San Diego Saturday morning.
Earl was seen standing proudly next to his catch as onlookers took photos and fellow fishermen praised his skills.
Whether the catch will become tuna steaks or poke is to be determined but one thing is for sure, there’s plenty of tuna for sharing.
