Does anybody else think the only reason they took this guy's fish is they wanted the whole price and not just the large portion of it that would be taxed from this poor guy?

How about we get these NOAA and fish and wildlife guys a fishing job? I think they would qualify to be bait.

It is stories such as these that metasticize hatred of government throughout our society.

This Nov. 12, 2011 photo released by NOAA and provided by Stephanie Rafael shows fishing boat owner Carlos Rafael in New Bedford, Mass., with an 881-pound tuna.

federal fishery enforcement agents took control of the behemoth when the boat returned to port.

I don't know much about this--are there federal fishery enforcement agents at every port? How did they know he had a big fish? Why were they expecting him?

Another example of our government gone amuck. Where does it end? When is enough, enough? Why are they wasting time and money on this BS?

$400,000 for one fish. Man. Those gold mining guys on tv better sell all their mining gear and start fishing for tuna. They could call the new show “WEALTHIEST CATCH”.
