They look like some volkswagons swimming in the water, that is one the best videos I've ever seen of fish feeding so close to the boat.

You can catch all you want you just can't stick a gaff in em. Unless they are in season of course. Josh got a 600+ pounder to the boat this year but had to release it cause the season was closed.

From my understanding , it is not uncommon for giant bft to die during an elongated fight due to angler bit having adaquate gear. That usually a 800+ lb bft is hooked accidentally while fishing for yft so basically you are putting so much stress on the fish they die. In the case of death ( now this is strictly what I've been told) you are supposed to call the fish in to authorities and 1 / year can be kept like that. Not 100% sure though

I don't see it.......I don't think they'd trust the angler enough to OK it???
