OFFICAL WEIGHT ON THE HUGE YELLOW FIN TUNA HAS BEEN CONFIRMED AS 427 LBS.

We spoke with Captain Greg DiStefano this morning, " I was really stressed, because our own scale had been dropped and was not working right, so it was weighed on Minerva's scale but it had to be verified that it was accurate"
"More than anything, I did not want to be claiming something that was not true, so we were on pins and needles until we got the call Friday afternoon confirming the actual weight of 427 lbs".
All we can say is congratulations guys.
