Nice fish.

Fisherwoman catches world record 64 STONE tuna (worth $2.02m or 3162 tins) but she's going to get it stuffed instead | Mail Online

$2m? Crikey, now everyone is doing it.

Even if $au, that's a price even nat geo wouldn't dare go to.

Wow; I didn't know the southern bluefins even got that big. A friend of mine worked in the Three Kings several years ago. They caught a lot of big Striped Marlin there.

World record R&R??? I think not.

It seems like this would be a new all tackle record for the SOUTHERN Bluefin Tuna b/c the current one is much smaller:

Oops, I jumped the gun. The world record PACIFIC Bluefin was also caught off NZ, but it's still smaller than the fish under consideration, so the article still appears to be correct:
