Tuna are awful big fishes. Don't know if they still do, but Japanese trading companies used to employ agents in Florida and Hawaiian ports who would snap a first class photo of big tuna catches and offer cash on the spot.

Within hours, the tuna would be frozen and on a flight to Japan.

Portland International Jetport in Maine has 4-5 JAL 747 freighters lined up at 5AM waiting for the tuna boats to come in.
