What's crazy is that he filleted it instead of selling it. I bet it was worth $10k or more

They've got a 58' boat and a captain, I doubt they care

3 270qt coolers full of steaks is a lot though

Exactly. Money isn't a problem doesn't sound like. Esp when it said he's no stranger to granders. Whoo Dat is a nice boat. Been around it plenty of times.

Everyone involved in landing the fish has to have a commercial license in order to sell it. I doubt that was the case.

Putting that thing in the boat took a lot of work.

Congratulations to the young man!

Some of the replies from the link sounded like some of the smart ass know it all's on here when someone post a picture of a big fish they caught.

I saw this pic on Instagram last week. One heck of a bluefin for Gulf of Mexico. But had no idea a kid caught it. Holy smokes. I bet he is still worn out from the fight.

Why don't bluewater fishermen practice catch and release! Tarpon get released.

Yeah, it might have paid for the gas on another day's fishing in the beast of a boat he has.

Cool story.

Yes, but from the big pen in the mountainous region of the Gulf.

It dang sure is for a fish that big and strong! If whoever is driving the boat knows what they are doing surprisingly it doesn't take that long. Sounds like the daddy and the captain was some ole salts.
