Yes that is a good name, I don't know how much Tuna there is out there
now a days?

I haven't heard how much tuna is in this area. But I'm not very
knowledgeable, I can only recognize tuna when it says "tuna" on the can.

Back in the 60s early 70s Galilee claimed to be the Tuna Capital of the
World and held a big tuna tournament at the beginning of September.
Sportfishing boats would come from all over to compete. They had an area
with a big scale and rack and a crowd would gather around to see the
tuna brought in, hung up and weighed. Some were a 800 pounds or more!It
all ended later in the 70s when no tuna were being caught.
