Mass. fishermen snare 881-pound tuna, feds take it AP – 2 hrs 25 mins ago NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — It's the big one that got taken away. Massachusetts fishing boat owner Carlos Rafael was elated recently when one of his trawlers snared an 881-pound tuna. The Standard-Times of New Bedford reports ( http://bit.ly/uczYap) the tuna was likely inadvertently snagged as Rafael's crew set a net to catch bottom-dwellers. Federal fishery enforcement agents seized the fish when the crew returned to port Nov. 12. Rafael had tuna permits, but was told catching tuna with a net is illegal. They must instead be caught with rod and reel. A fish that big is hugely valuable — a 754pound tuna recently sold for nearly $396,000. Rafael's fish will be sold overseas. He will likely get a warning and no share of the proceeds if regulators find a violation. Rafael might give up his tuna permits, saying they're apparently worthless. http://news.yahoo.com/mass-fishermen-snare-881-pound-tuna-feds-162153107.html |

How is this any different than netting trout in a stream instead of a hook and line. It's illegal. |

A fishing boat with a tuna stamp accidentally catches an 881 lb tuna in their net and the Feds seize the fish anyway. If this were done on purpose it would be a different situation and would be illegal. |

I agree. And the sick part is that if we were reading this same story out of a media outlet from China or Russia.....we'd be appalled. |
