The Father of my nieces BF caught this yellowfin tuna on a boat out of San Diego yesterday -- 235 pounds.

That is an awesome fish if that's what it weighed, but so many details are left out of your post. Was this a 3/4 day, full day, 1.5 day, 3-4 day or longer fishing boat out of San Diego? You can't tease us with this lack of information, it is instrumental in anyone thinking they can jump on this such and such boat and get so lucky. So what length of trip was it? Which boat? Thanks ahead for your answer.

That is not a Yellow Fin Tuna (YFT) That is a Blue Fin Tuna (BFT) Probably a Yummy Flyer Kite fish. SD 3/4 day and up are catching them.

Just curious.

Thanks for the ID.

Identifying BFT vs YFT:

What kind of tuna did jorluivil post? Pectoral fins are short.

This 240 pound tuna is identified as a BFT from one year ago. It looks like the pectoral fins extend past the second dorsal fin (?)

^world domination?

I've heard about taking the Pigskin Bus into Tunatown.
Here's a good looking tuna festival that might be just the place:

The big local BFT this season is CRAZY! Cool to see the code get cracked..........kite sales and Yummie Fliers are way up!

Glad to see you "other" guys post. Not in a million years did I believe the first post photo was a 235lb yellow or bluefin. The angle puts it more in the 80lb range, IMHO. But, I'm a little lost when it comes to the rest, is BWE just becoming a site for internet hoaxes? Are you all having fun with this?
I ALWAYS have said in my 50+ years of fishing that I have NEVER told a "fishing tale", I've told factual "fishing stories". What are we seeing here?

80 pounds? Shirley you jest. Let's just call it 20 pounds and you've made your point.

FullFlavorPike · 07-21-2017, 12:58 PM

is that a yellowtail tuna?

Iceman · 07-21-2017, 03:11 PM

Dude you are turning into a very skeptical ol fart. You think that is only an 80 pound class BFT????
