Re: [californiadisasters] Fishermen Reel in Huge Bluefin Tuna Close to Shore



Some of my customers who are avid fisherman are pulling in things they've never seen before.    One is saying they are catching at a rate better than the 1997 El Nino season.    Things are looking real good if all pans out.

They say El Nino is causing warmer waters, luring largers catches closer to shore

The roughly 175-pound tuna (middle) was reeled in by Don Kuroye.

A fishing boat captain said fishermen aboard his boat reeled in a sight he's never seen in his entire career.

Tuesday afternoon, a Point Loma Sportfishing boat called the New Lo-an came in with six huge bluefin tuna, each weighing between 120 and 175 pounds a piece. 

Throughout the captain's time on the sea, he said he has never seen fish this size come so close to San Diego.

Don Kuroye, who caught the largest, 175-pound tuna, credits the warm waters caused by El Nino with helping to draw big catches closer to shore.

He said when he got the fish on his line, he didn't realize how large it was until it started surfacing.

"Well without using any terrible words, it was like, 'Oh my god,'" said Kuroye. "And then my adrenaline was pumping. It was great."

He fought the fish for close to an hour to pull it into the boat, and he's still feeling the soreness -- a good soreness, he said.

Kuroye plans to make some delicious sushi and sashimi from his catch.
