Can catch tuna 'super terrible' weighs 411.6kg

Donna Pascoe (56 years old, New Zealand) was extremely lucky to catch a Pacific bluefin tuna weighing 411.6kg.

It is estimated that the above tuna can be processed into 1,769 fish boxes and if calculated according to the market price, it can be up to 2 million USD (more than 40 billion VND). The blue tuna is echoed by fishermen as 'Picasso of the Sea'.

However, because it was not caught from commercial fishing vessels, Ms. Pascoe was not allowed to sell. Therefore, Ms. Pascoe wanted to keep it in the style of 'stuffed animals' and hung on the wall to celebrate.

To catch the giant tuna, Ms. Pascoe struggled with it for 4 hours and 11 minutes near the Three Kings Islands off Cape Reinga of New Zealand.

With a weight of more than 400kg, Ms. Pascoe must rely on the help of 4 fishermen to accompany her and use the specialized wire to pull the giant tuna 2.6m long into the boat.

Fishermen must be very hard to pull the tuna fish into the boat

"It was a very stubborn and stubborn fish, but fortunately I persevered to force him to subdue. We told ourselves that we had to get the tuna before it was torn by sharks. When he took the bait, we did not know what it was.When he could pull it on the boat, all of them were happy, even though our limbs were disconnected, "said Ms. Pascoe.

According to the President of the UK Fisheries Association Alistair Blair, the true value of the tuna is about $ 83,000. However, if auctioned off 222kg of bluefin tuna in Japan last year (priced at $ 1.09 million), Ms. Pascoe's fish can be sold for about $ 2 million.
