The last one I saw go out of Hatteras little over a week ago was right at 325 pounds dressed. My friend that caught it sent it out consigned to the broker at $30 to $35 per lb net to him. I do not know the end price yet. I do know that the price to the fisherman are in the range of what was promised to the commercial guy that I know. I think the 527 is a price for one that was almost flapping on the market floor or reflects the various layers of middle men involved plus the airfreight to get it there. For the commercial guy I know it is right at 11k for his fish, so not bad, except for the tuna.

I have not yet been able to hook into one this season just yellow and black fins. Got the tackle and the permits but haven't had the weather to seriously try more than once...
