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.

My Bro in law caught a huge yellow fin brought it to N.Y. and within hours it was on it’s way to Japan, not sure the wt. of the fish but he got 5,000 + for it.
