How is the Tuna population in the NE? Can the sport fisherman notice a
change in the number or size of Tuna being caught?


Forgot to mention. Where Shortwave fishes, he can go after both Bluefin and
Yellofin tuna.
In Cape Cod Bay where I used to fish we rarely, if ever saw Yellowfin, but
many Bluefin.

Most are called "footballs". I've forgotten what the size and weight specs
are, but footballs usually range from under 100 lbs to well over. The goal
is to try for the occasional and rarer "Giant" which can be really huge.
(800lbs or more)

There are regulations regarding what you can keep and what you can't
depending on your license type.
I think my license allowed me to keep one "Giant" per season.
