A trio of fishermen overcame an interfering pod of dolphins, a broken fishing line, a harpoon line that was about to break and two broken hoists to land a 900.1-pound bluefin tuna off North Carolina earlier this month.
Capt. John Cruise, fishing out of New River Marina with Zach Foster and Aaron Barr, took 5½ hours to land the behemoth bluefin tuna that would have eclipsed the current state record had only one fisherman reeled it in, but all three contributed, according to Sport Fishing Magazine.
