Not only did he get his fish confiscated, but will lose out on about
$400,000.00

All because it was caught in a net and not by a rod.


Too bad he didn't have a rod on the boat. Poke a hole in the fish's
mouth and spin a yarn. You might get on the cover of a fishing
magazine.
There are also the sponsorships, "I caught this fish on my Shakespeare
rod, with Trilene line and my trusty Penn reel".


Rod? 881 pound tuna isn't coming in on a rod. Might tear off your arms
if your rod is strapped to them.


Larger fish than that have been caught on rod and reel, drygulch boy.
