and you thought fish were fun!
well Marc Towers does after reeling in this 1,000lbs bluefin tuna, fishing just 4 miles off the coast of Canso in Nova Scotia, Neil Cooke was on the fishing trip with Mr Towers stated, 'We didn’t realize how big it was until it was about 15 feet away from the surface, it took Marc two hours to pull in, and we had started to see the shape of it when the skipper said 'this could be a big fish'',
Mr Cooke, 37, added: ‘the deck hand made a lasso and tied it around the end of the fish and we dragged it through the water back to the dock', the pair, who go on fishing trips together, decided to visit Nova Scotia with the aim of catching a bluefin tuna,
now the even better news, the fish might be worth up to £20,000 in Japan, I must admit we both like watching Wicked Tuna which is filmed off the coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, but unfortunately the series has now finished, as an aside the record for a Bluefin tuna is held by Ken Fraser who caught a 1,496-pound specimen off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1979.
