On CTR Bluefin Days (Catch/Tag/Release), we captains have a general agreement and practice amongst ourselves to battle and release 2 giants total for the day. We do so with as much care, patience, and safe handling as possible.

Bluefin Tuna Charter Customers:
Our primary target is Giant Bluefin Tuna. If we catch a GBT (0ver 73”) we will sell the fish commercially. Clients will get back 20% of the sale proceeds after all expenses. This will go towards future charters with us. We may tag and release the tuna depending on if the fishery quota is closed for the month. Sometimes on charters we are in the mix with tuna that are under 73”. If that is the case, and it gets late in the charter, we could take one of these home to butcher for clients. This will only occur if we feel that the chances of landing a giant are not good for the day.
