I’ve never had the pleasure of fishing those big barn doors.
I’ve caught and speared the local halibut since I was a kid, and even at 15 lbs they can be challenging to take with a sling.

Our skipper uses an axe handle to knock them out and sometimes with the really big ones shoots them with a 410 and them ties them to the back of the boat.
Not much fun to catch, especially when they see the light then go all the way back down, good eating though.

Commentary: 12 astounding numbers that show the whole invasion of our border
How bad do things need to get?

After the media lied to the public throughout the border debate — when we actually had a chance to fix things in the budget — now the media suddenly admits we have a crisis at the border. A Washington Post reporter conceded that the numbers were "bonkers." The New York Times put in a headline the Customs and Border Patrol chief's warning that the border is at a "breaking point."
Here are 12 facts about the border apprehension numbers and the trends that demonstrate why the Trump administration should immediately shut down all asylum requests. Now is the president's opportunity to make a new case to the American people and go beyond simply addressing a few billion in border funding.
● 76,325 – The number of total illegal aliens and inadmissible aliens apprehended at and between points of entry in the month of February. That is the highest number for a single month since April 2008, but very likely one of the highest months of all time for unique (non-repeating) illegal aliens, given that many of the apprehensions from last decade were multiple crossings of the same individual within hours or days. Today, according to Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, "We rarely arrest the same person twice in one year, much less in the same work shift."
● 916,000 – The annual pace of February's border flow if this continues. But Customs and Border Patrol predicts that with the weather getting warmer over the next few months and the incentives for illegal immigration unaddressed, the numbers will grow larger.
● 40,325 – A record number of family unit apprehensions in February. That beats the record we just set in December 2018 by a whopping 26 percent.
● 136,150 – The number of family units apprehended between points of entry for the first five months of fiscal year 2019. This far surpasses the numbers for any previous full year.
● 165,568 – The number of family units apprehended between points of entry since Judge Dana Sabraw ruled last July that all parents or adults brought with children must be released with the children. During that last seven months, as many family units have been apprehended as in the previous 23 months.
● 2,023% – The percentage increase in monthly family unit apprehensions since the low of the "Trump effect" in April 2017 through February 2019. Yes: 2,023 percent increase.
● 311% – The percentage increase in family units apprehended by Border Patrol for the first five months of this fiscal year over the first five months of last fiscal year.
● 97% – The total percentage increase in all illegal alien apprehensions for the first five months of this fiscal year over the first five months of last fiscal year.
● 1,689% – The increase in family units apprehended in the El Paso sector for the first five months of fiscal year 2019 over the same period last year. El Paso saw its highest apprehensions in February since April 2006. And many of those in 2006 were the same people coming back after being deported immediately, and they were deported again. Almost all of these coming in currently remain here indefinitely.
● 70 – Number of large groups, defined as 100 or more, coming in at once to surrender to border agents and shutting down their resources. There were 13 such groups in FY 2018, mainly in the latter part of the year when this phenomenon began. It was almost unheard of in previous years.
● 31,000 – The number of projected aliens taken to American hospitals by the end of the year if the current pace holds, as compared to 12,000 last year.
● 57,000 – The number of man-hours Border Patrol had to spend with aliens in our hospitals just since Dec. 22. According to Brian Hastings, chief of Border Patrol operations, 25 percent to 45 percent of Border Patrol resources are now diverted to the processing and humanitarian functions rather than patrolling the border.
During the press conference when Trump announced his emergency declaration on Feb. 15, the media demanded from the president a set of data to demonstrate the problem. Well, here is the data that shows the most evident indicators of an emergency — a skyrocketing trajectory on all fronts.
The question for us all is how bad things need to get before we finally respect our own national sovereignty and stop allowing the courts to encourage illegal aliens to come here?

The summer after I graduated high school I went and worked in a cannery up in Petersberg AK. There wasn’t much to do up there beside going to the dump to watch the bears and fishing.

Don’t know that lady from Adam. However I’ve got to say... after hearing about stunts like how Facebook Execs got the Anti-Deflamation League to attack privacy advocates Al Sharpton style for being anti-Semitic... There is a small part of me that wonders about the attacks on this congress woman.

WASHINGTON — Representative Ilhan Omar, who has been battling charges of anti-Semitism for weeks, apologized on Monday for insinuating that American support for Israel is fueled by money from a pro-Israel lobbying group — a comment that drew swift and unqualified condemnation from fellow Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The mea culpa by Ms. Omar, a freshman lawmaker from Minnesota and one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, came after a day of bipartisan outrage over her tweet Sunday night asserting that support for Israel was “all about the Benjamins baby,” a reference to hundred-dollar bills.
“Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” Ms. Omar said in a statement released on Twitter, about an hour after Ms. Pelosi and the entire Democratic leadership publicly chastised her for engaging in “deeply offensive” anti-Semitic tropes.
“My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole,” Ms. Omar wrote, adding, “I unequivocally apologize.”

Big fucking deal. I land a 500 pound nofin every few days. All blubber, no meat.
Guess again td...they do indeed make a living at it.
Purse Seine
Purse seine fishing is a consistent and efficient method, enabling fishers to catch and freeze large quantities of tuna.
Purse seine vessels fish either by spotting free-swimming schools of tuna or by utilizing floating objects that attract fish, either with natural or manmade objects such as fish aggregating devices (FADs).
KEY STATISTICS
- About 63% — Percentage of tuna caught globally each year by purse seine vessels
- 1,101 – Estimated number of purse seine vessels authorized to fish for tuna
- 693 – Number of large-scale tropical tuna purse seine vessels
When fishing on free-swimming schools, purse seine fishing has an average bycatch rate of less than 1 percent. When utilizing FADs, bycatch rates vary from around 1.75 percent in the western and central Pacific to nearly 8.9 percent, depending on the ocean region.
FUEL EFFICIENCY
According to an ISSF-commissioned study, purse seine vessels consume 368 liters of fuel in order to land one ton of tuna.

Blue fin isn't a tropical tuna... especially the really big ones are all caught up by Nova Scotia up by the arctic circle. Again they have to be bled or the meat goes bad. There is a lottery for tags every year and if you've got one of the tags it's not even legal to release a fish if you think it's too small. They just don't catch that type of fish by net intentionally. Not sure why you don't believe me.
A 500lb one like in your pic, if the meat is prime grade will literally be flown over night to Japan so they can sell it fresh the next day in the market. However a 500lb blue fin shot in the head, will never be prime grade meat. You have to get the lactic acid out of the fishes meat while it's still alive or it ruins the fish.
