I wanna say BFT...white finletsOriginally Posted by vinndy
How are you seeing the liver in that picture?
Bluefin
Blue fin..short pecs...where was it caught? big eye do not come too close to shore too often..yes I am sure there have been some over the years but rare
Real men do it standing up<br />BHMTC, RFA
that's what I want to know
spiral out.... keep going...
From that picture alone I say bluefin not to mention the diamond jig in its mouth.
sarcasm
That was the joke
kinda figured that
spiral out.... keep going...
It's tough to tell from that picture due to the angle of the pectoral fin.
Bigeyes have a longer pectoral fin that extends past the dorsal fin of the fish.
A bigeye of the size in your photo would look a lot like a yellowfin tuna but with a deeper body.
Hope this helps...
I was hoping that
it was caught on a whole butterfish flat line pretty far from boat near the 19 fathom two weeks ago. I fought it and it fought harder than I think it should've for the size (~50"). I thought it resembled a Big Eye, but my brother said Blue fin. Figured I'd post it and get everyones thoughts.
Blue fin and nice gaff in the head.
its a blufin tuna
