Tuna in la Jolla? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Drake, congrats if it's legit, a truly awesome catch off of La Jolla. While I have witnessed a Dorado years back caught inside of the NW corner, I've never heard of bluefin caught there. We used to catch them not far from the mouth of Redondo harbor over a deep canyon, many years ago, so anything is possible, I suppose.
But, I can understand anyone's skepticism, as that fish looks like it's been in a fish hold for days, i.e. offshore trip and maybe one that didn't stay chilled properly. Having fished many a tuna trip and worked on albie boats, it's hard to believe that fish got that beat up in a kayak, on the same day it was caught. My 2 cents.
If this is gag, with other parties in on it, it's a good one, but I'm not biting. Too many pranksters around here to take this as legit. More power to you if it is on the up-and-up.
