405 Pounds Tuna Broke The World Record

The world record for the biggest tuna that have ever been caught has been broken by a Californian guy named Mike Livingston. He caught a yellow fin tuna that weighs 405,2 pounds. Mike caught big tunas on the offshore of Baja beach.

The old record was held by Curt Wisenhutter at 1977, when he caught a 388 pounds, 12 ons yellow fin tuna. If the IGFA approves to Mike's catch. Livingston (63) is an old fisherman that just retires recently from his old job as a school guardian. Livingston said that this fish is a "once in a lifetime fish". "I'm certainly not the best fisherman but I have to be lucky enough to catch that fish".

The biggest tuna was caught offshore of Baja beach last week and was taken to San Diego bay. Boat captain Mr. Lackey said, "this is a once in a lifetime fish for Mike, for our crew, and for me. Its an honour to be a part of a catching like this. Its like a wonderful specimen. I'm still astonished with the fish".

"Mike is a lucky man for getting a yellow fin tuna like that, he fought for 2 hours and 40 minutes and we're lucky to catch it. Even though he hope to catch a 200-pounds tuna, he never thought that his hopes will come true".

Mike Livingston's tuna is not just the biggest tuna ever caught, but also the biggest catch without a back-up roll or help from the crew.
