          Nice!
          "Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.

                  How much would a tuna that size sell for?

                    I watched a video on Discovery channel where they were talking about a single tuna going for between 100k and 200k per fish depending on size, lack of shark scars on the skin and type.

                    It was very interesting to watch. Plan scouts, radios the pod to a fast vessel that feeds them till the bigger corralling ships get there, they then drop a net and create a full circle around the pod until there is just enough room for the feeder boat to slip out. They close the net which closes at the bottom too and then transfer the fish into a holding area which is just a huge round net pulled by a ship at 2-3 knots. They have to continually dive in and check the fish, get sharks out BY HAND!!!! It was wild to see.

                      The big money coems from Blue Fin tuna, the rarest tuna. The meat is very popular in Japan.

                      the biggest trick to getting that amount for a tuna is care for it once it's caught

                      They cut the head and the tail and pack with ice..... but there is a trick to it....

                        Very Sought after. I've heard stories of Japanese fish supply companies sending out Helicopters to pic the fish up fresh and take it to market.
